CHAPTER 6

                                    

                                          
Ada's POV 
"¿Quién es esta hermosa doncella?," (Who is this beautiful damsel?), the stranger said staring at me with a smirk on his face. He then winked at me making me shiver. Gosh, he's so handsome, I thought to myself. He has green eyes, tan skin, dark black hair with beautiful facial features. He has six-pack too.
"Shit, he is so yummy." Suddenly, I feel a weird sensation in my vagina and my nipples seem to be standing at attention.
"Gosh, I can't believe I'm feeling this way for a man I just met. He hasn't even touched me. I feel so ashamed of myself. I may dress like someone who has a lot of sexual experience but I definitely don't speak or behave like one. This is why people get shocked when they find out I'm still a virgin and haven't even kissed or held a guy's hand romantically before."
"Her name is Ada," replied Isabella rolling her eyes at him with her hands on her waist.
She is a friend, she says.
"You have a very beautiful friend," he says.
This time around, he spoke English.
He then starts walking towards me.
"I can't take this anymore," I say and run out from the house. When I'm outside, I realize the air I have been holding since I met that creepy man.
I just couldn't stay in there anymore; the man is just so sexy and he called me beautiful. Gosh, no man has ever said that to me. After some minutes, I went back into the house and didn't see him, which I am very grateful for.
Only the girls were in the sitting room eating popcorn and watching "Mea Culpa" by Tyler Perry on Netflix. When I got in, they all turned to me.
"Ada, come join us," Isabella says, making some space for me to sit beside her.
I joined them, and we all ate popcorn while watching movies. They asked me why I ran out of the house. I told them it's because I was scared and disgusted seeing him half-naked walking towards me. I mean, it's not the entire truth, but it's part of the reason anyway.
I'm not about to tell them that I ran away because I find him very sexy.
I later found out that the strange man is Isabella's brother.
It's 8 pm and I'm not meant to be coming home by this time. That witch is definitely going to kill me if she finds out.
I sneak into the house, going to my room very quietly so that the witch can't hear me. I'm on the stairs, happy that I'm gonna sneak to my room successfully. But unfortunately, the witch is awake and is standing in the sitting room after turning the lights on. She stares at me with those cold, blue eyes, looking so lifeless. She suddenly grins evilly at me.
"Jesus!!!" I yell. I started praying.
"God, I know that I have sinned against you. I haven't been to church for a long time and have stopped praying. I even call your name in vain all the time. But please, if you help me survive this night, I will forever praise your name. In fact, I will attend church every day. God, I cast and bind any evil trying to destroy my life. Destroy them, oh Lord, destroy them," I yelled.
"My village people are at work, but I know you will not let their plans work. Amen."
After praying, I opened one of my eyes, seeing that the witch is not in the sitting room, I open my eyes fully.
"I said it," I say a little loudly.
"Are you sure she isn't actually a witch? Probably that's why she ran away when I started praying?" I ask myself.
"Well, whatever reason it was, I'm glad she left. Praise the Lord, thank you, Jesus," I say, running to my room and locking the door.
Damn, I feel so relieved, going to my bed, I lay down, and start thinking of Santiago.
After some minutes, I finally fall asleep with him on my mind.
                WEEKS LATER 
It's been weeks since Jasmine, Isabella, Kalyani, and I have been hanging out.
I must say we have become so close; we go out together, eat together, visit each other's houses together, except from my house obviously. They are really good friends, and I love them so much; we are all literally besties now.
The next morning, after the incident that occurred between the witch and I.
She made me complete a lot of chores to the extent I almost fainted. That woman is truly evil and wants me dead. I really need to move out from her house ASAP.
"What are you thinking of?" Isabella asked me, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Nothing important," I reply.
"Hmm," she hummed.
We are currently in Jasmine's house.
Her parents are very rich entrepreneurs and into real estate too.
She invited the three of us to her birthday party happening tonight at a nightclub owned by one of Isabella's uncles.
"Tonight is gonna be lit," Jasmine says while searching for clothes she's gonna wear tonight.
"That dress is nice. Why are you throwing it away?" I ask.
"Eww, that cloth is trash," she says, making a disgusted face.
"Then what is it doing in your closet? If you don't like the cloth, then why did you buy it?" I ask her.
"Because I have the money to buy whatever cloth I want. Besides, I lost interest in the dress after wearing it once."
"You do not want to know how many dresses I have gotten rid of, and all my clothes are always so fucking expensive," she says, laughing.
"Oh my God, being rich can be very bad sometimes," I say, sighing.
"Why do you say that?" Kalyani asks.
"Can't you see how she's wasting cash?" I say. "Do you know how much the necklace she bought last week cost?"
"Yes, Ada," Isabella says.
"We all went to buy the necklace together, remember?" She says again, rolling her eyes like I'm just overreacting.
