When The Night Is Over

Side Note: When the night is over and i lay here wasted, will you carry me to my bed? ~ julius

Toma ended their kiss by giving her tighter hug and a pressed a kiss to her forehead.

They both headed back to the pickup with a smile on their faces. Almost less than miles away and it is already Annika's place.

Unconsciously she fell asleep, Toma was looking at her from time to time just to make sure she is safe and sound. Almost less than an hour after the gps stated it is already Annika's place. One of their guards check on the pickup.

"Sir! it is you... You are with Annika.", "I am chief and i think this princess needs to get a good lot of rest." The guard allow them to get in and show him the way. Toma princess carry Annika and take her to her room. "It is pretty nice to end this day and to start a new one tucking you in your bed Annika"

Toma asked for a self validation which he has right now. That day when he watched the girl he likes watching the movie he prayed for the day he would be kissing a special someone at night in the same set up. His heart is feeling too much voltz, he is in the middle of controlling himself and wanting for more.

They were both looking forward for the announcement day.

...Rank Announcement Day

12:45 pm - Annika, i would pick you up by 5pm.

Today is the day, they both said. While Toma is preppin up on his way back in the Williams Mansion Annika is preparing for the after school hours date, she is taking the privilege of calling it a date.

She decided to kill some time by checking some book at her Dada's office and on her way she overheard the head of bodyguards having a video meeting with her dad. She wants to surprise them by saying hi out of nowhere, carefully she moves closer to the door and accidentally heard what they were talking about.

"Maximus, tomorrow we would be doing the surprise engagement of Adrian and my daughter Annika. It will be really sudden, Adrian and his dad asked for her hand long time ago and i think doing it on her actual 18th birthday would be a good idea"

Annika felt broken hearted and she is in deep sadness. She wants to feel angry but her dad prepared her for this long before it actually happen.

Carrying the pain alone Annika decide to walk away, took Thunder and get herself to the club. She is blaming herself for not speaking up and also feels like she is running out of time.

Bottle after bottle after bottle she isolated herself from the reality. Back in the St. Gabriel High everyone was cheering when they announced her name for keeping the number 1 rank. An hour before 5pm Toma was already there waiting for her.

Msg after msg and call after call. Where are you Annika? Toma asked himself. After searching around one of Annika's friends saw Toma and approached him. "Hey! looking for Annika? I am Sundee her Bestie", "Yep, we have a schedule dinner today. After the ceremony." Sundee told him that Annika was not around during the ranking announcement and they are all actually looking for her as well "But you know what? normally she's spending her time at the club after the ranking ceremony. You may find her there."

There is something wrong and i got to find her. Toma rushed to th club given by Sundee.

...At the club

"Miss someone ordered a shooter for you!" the bartender handed Annika the shooter and she took the shot after few minutes. A good looking guy approached her and started a conversation. "You looked unwell, i booked a room where you can actually rest." he offered a helping hand with a gentle smile. Annika doesn't want to go with the guy but she is feeling really hot and dizzy. She was trying to look for her vial of sleeping drugs to somehow protect herself however it is too late to do that.

The guy started to move closer to Annika and touching her body as if he is allowed to do so. He is going for a score, Annika is pushing him away. "Please don't come closer" Annika asked multiple times, but the guy is super assertive and starting to be really violent. Annika punched the guy with all her strength and kick his manhood. She was able to escape from his arms but not in the room, the guy got mad and aimed for Annika. He is holding a small figurine and started to walk closer to her, Annika on the other hand is feeling really hot, dizzy and under the influence of an aphrodisiac drug. "Please help me.." Annika is begging so damn hard for help hoping Toma would come and rescue him.
