When I woke up the next morning I was in a high spirits, I moved about my morning chores as if I was in a daze.
I couldn't wait for the time to clock two pm, that was the time me and David agreed to meet for our first date.
I had forgotten all about my assignment, my project, Prof Agatha, even George.
" This could be what I need, this could be the missing link I have been looking for all my life ". I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth while laughing and talking to myself in the mirror like a lunatics.
This is my third brushing and rinsing today, I am leaving no stone unturned in my quest to mesmerise David and take his breath away.
I have already brought out and ironed the dress I will wear. A dress Aunt Pearl gave me last Christmas that I had dumped on the bottom of my bag because it was too short and the neck was cut too long. But today I ironed it out with a borrowed electric iron, ready to rock it and make him feast his eyes on me and drool all over me.
I have never been on a date before, this is my first time and yes I am ready to do everything David said last night, I am ready to please him, I am ready to let him guide me with his experienced hand, I am ready to let him have me all the way.
It's like I have finally found the man worthy to take my virginity, finally I will stop pleasing myself with my hand, because a man is finally going to do it with his own rod. I was in a world of my own.
At 2pm
My palms and my necks were itchy and sweaty as I walked around nervously and awkwardly.
I was in the place where David and I agreed to meet, I had been waiting for almost close to fifty minutes. I decided to arrive earlier than the agreed time to surprise him, but he is now stretching my patience.
It's already two thirty pm and David is nowhere to be seen.
People have been glancing at me strangely most especially people that know me, they have never seen me dressed like this.
Half of my boobs were peeking out of my dress, almost all my thighs were outside but I don't care as long as I will look pleasing to David's eyes. I am ready to do anything.
I had almost given up when I saw David coming from the corner of my eyes. I adjusted my dress as my heart leapt in excitement.
I tried flirting with him " hi David". I had to hold myself back from hugging him.
" Hi Abby", he said in a flat voice.
" I thought you stood me up, what happened ",
" Ehh nothing, nothing serious, I am sorry for keeping you waiting tho", he said in an insincere voice
This can't be the same David I was chatting with last night when he said he can't wait to see me but now he neither look happy nor excited to see me, he did not dress up for the date, he wore a faded shirt on a rumpled shorts.
"let's go." he said as I followed him.
we have been walking down a lonely road for five minutes now. I stopped to ask him
" I thought you said we are going on a date outside the campus",
" No baby, something came up and I have to change location, but I promised you, you won't regret it."
I sensed something was wrong but I followed him hesitantly.
We walked until David stopped in front of an abandoned science lab building, I wondered why he stopped.
" Wait here sweetie pie, I need to get something inside real quick." Before I could reply him he dashed into the abandoned building leaving me behind. When I looked around and I couldn't see any human beings In sight, I became slightly scared
After a minute or so I heard David's voice calling out to me.
" Abby I need your help over here can you come over", I hesitated for a while, this date is turning into something else. I can't wait for all this to end.
I stepped into the old building. I was feeling scared but brave, the inside was slightly dark.
The wall paints were peeling and they were damaged furniture everywhere.
I looked around and I could not see anybody anywhere. It was quiet and still.
" David, David!!" I called out but they were no response, everywhere was still
I was about to make my way out when I heard David's voice from the inner part of the building
" I am here", I wondered what David was doing inside such a building, but I decided to go against my better judgement.
"Where are you?"
" I am here." David's voice came again.
I followed the direction of the voice into the building as I made my way carefully through abandoned concrete, planks and irons.
I walked down a narrow passageway until I stopped in front of a door that opened in a large room that was previously used as a hall.
When I could no longer trace his voice I called him again.
" Over here." I heard his tiny voice behind me, it was from one of the many rooms in the passageway.
I walked towards the direction of the particular room I heard his voice from, stepping over broken blocks, concrete and occasionally brushing away spider webs from my face.
When I stepped into the room I didn't see anyone, I was wondering whether I heard wrong when a hand gripped me from behind and covered my mouth, another hand held my body to stop me from running.
I was shoved violently to the floor, my knees and elbows bruising badly as it crashed to the floor.
When I looked up to see the face of my assailants it was no other person than David; my supposed date. Before I knew it he tied my hand behind my back tightly with a rope
" David please don't harm me, forgive me if I have ever done anything wrong to you." I pleaded." I don't know what else to do, nobody will come to my aid in this abandoned place if he decides to kill me.
" Shhh I am not going to kill you, I just have a better idea for our date and I promise you, you will enjoy it",
While David was talking another man entered the room and bolted the door.
My heart sank, no way for me to escape this tragedy.
" What took you so long", the second man asked in a rough voice, he was eyeing me the way a predator eyes a prey.
" Just a little delay, but the meal is here; fresh and ready." So I am the meal they are about to consume, they were looking at licking their lips lustfully.
" Will they rape me and kill me or will they rape me and spare me, what exactly are they going to do to me." These thoughts ran in my head.
I am going to take her from the back while you take her from the front." The second man said.
" No Joe, you take her from the front and I take her from the back."
" Why?" Joe asked
" You know how much I love anal sex joe, these girls don't readily give it to me that is why I have to resort to this means",
" Alright, let's take turns, you take her from the back, I take her from the front, afterwards we change positions.
Oh my gosh these people are going to rape me vaginally and anally at the same time, how heartless could they be.
I tried pleading with them one more time but in response David yanked my legs open and made straight for my underwear, Joe jumped on me greedily and grabbed my breast.
But I would not go down without a fight, I took David unawares and kicked him hard with my free legs on the groin, he reeled back his face contorted in pain.
I turned to Joe's errant hand and bit him hard. He was shocked at first but recovered quickly and gave me a hard slap across my face.
" David, get me the mouth tape. This bitch wants to do this the hard way." He barked at David, but he was still stunned in pain to reply.
Joe made to get the tape by himself, when a loud knock came on the door.
"Are there still more? " I thought to myself.
" David, are you expecting company?"
"No," David answered with pain still in his face.
" Open this door right now." A powerful voice roared from outside.
David and his accomplice were visibly scared.
A force hit the door, broke the bolt from outside and forcibly opened it.
I looked up to see who my messiah was and my mouth and eyes widened in surprise and shock.
There stood him standing gallantly in the midst of dust and rubles "George Beckett" while I lay there in the midst of dust and dirt between two men, bruised and bleeding, clothes and hair disheveled, two opposite worlds collided.
He looked at me as if I was the only person in the room.
" Abby," as he said my name, my heart lost it pace.
