Tonight You Are Mine

VALERIE RADINKA

I think this joy is not enough. I feel like something is missing but I can't pinpoint what it is.

I bit my lower lip and immediately gulped down the wine in the glass, the bitterness and the heat it have brought flowed from my throat until I felt its pain in my stomach. I closed my eyes tightly and immediately felt my whole face turn red.

"Enjoying the night, birthday girl?" I heard Sophie's sweet voice from behind me, I smiled when I felt her hand on my waist.

"This is not enough! I want more!" I shouted while raising my hand, I don't know what I'm doing anymore, but I know I'm already drunk.

My vision was spinning and I was having a little trouble standing up, fortunately Sophie was able to support me right away.

"Val, you can't get too drunk, you have to go home," I heard Ayesha's soft voice from behind me.

"Let her do what she wants, Ayesha. Today is her birthday."

"But, doesn't she want to celebrate with her family? With her twin?"

I violently lowered the glass causing them to be surprised, other people also looked at us, but I just gave her a smile, as if I was losing myself.

"I won't go home! I already told you that we had a fight, I had a fight with dad, besides, I know that he is happy with just my twin brother."

"But you still have to go home, Valerie. Let's go, I'll take you." Ayesha grabbed my hand, she tried to pull me away but Sophie immediately let go.

She looked at the woman with a wrinkled forehead, she rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Don't be a kill joy, Ayesha! It's Val's first day of being completely an adult. She's not a teen anymore, for fuck's sake. Did you hear what she said? She didn't want to go home." I approached Sophie, I grabbed her arm, hid behind her and pouted.

Ayesha held her head, closed her eyes tightly as if her head was hurting because of me, she then sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Fine! I'll let you! but once you fall asleep, I will take you to your house." I bit my lower lip, I didn't answer anymore, I knelt down and filled my glass with wine again with a smile, I heard Sophie laughing loudly behind me, I also felt that she was taking pictures of me but nothing I don't care anymore.

"Happy birthday to me!" I shouted so loudly, they all looked, after a while they greeted me at the same time, a loud music played from the background, I smiled so big as they suddenly jumped for joy.

I moved my head as if keeping up with the loud music, I was vibing, I was dizzy especially from the lights and people, but I didn't care, the only thing I was worried about now was my pleasure.

It's my day, I have to enjoy, I have to forget my problems. I have to forget dad, my dad who's always angry at me, my dad who's always against me. I need to forget my twin brother, my twin who's been the good child of them, my twin who is their favorite. My mom... my mom who can't defend her own daughter, my mom who's always by my twin and by my dad's side.

"I won't go home..." I whispered while drinking.

I held my head again.

I felt the phone vibrate in my skirt pocket, I took it and looked at the screen. I smirked.

And speaking of the devil.

My twin brother is calling, I was not going to answer that but something urges me to answer and accept the call. I creased my forehead, I rolled my eyes, I put the cellphone to my ear. And to hear what he had to say I stood up, even though it was difficult to walk, I forced myself to go to the comfort room where it was enough to make the noise disappear.

I held the side of the sink, I tilted my head and closed my eyes before answering the call.

"What do you need?" I asked with an irritated voice.

I waited for him to say but I only heard his deep breathing, I scratched my head.

A few seconds later, he still didn't speak, which is why I suddenly felt annoyed.

"You know what, if you won't say anything good, I'll end this call. Are you really going to ruin my life until our birthday?" I scolded him, again, I hear his deep breathing. "Speak up, dumbass."

I held my head, I bowed.

"Val," he finally spoke. But he only mentioned my name.

"What the fuck do you need?"

"Don't go home," I was surprised by what he said.

"I really won't go home, if I could buy my own house, I would do it so I wouldn't see you again."

"Val, please. Don't go home."

"I won't," I shook. "I will never go home, I have friends, I have them."

He didn't say a word for a few seconds, my heart ached and I felt nervous. I bit my lower lip, after a while I felt my tears fall, I was silently sobbing, making sure he wouldn't hear my crying.

I took a deep breath.

"Happy birthday, Valerie." He mumbled, I cried even more. "Happy birthday, twin sister."

"Vlad," I mentioned his name.

"Happy birthday to us."

After that call, the line was suddenly cut, I stared at the cellphone, I hid it in my pocket. I want to go home, but something seems to be stopping me. I just wiped my tears and cheered myself up. I didn't greet him, I'll just do it tomorrow even though I'm mad at him.

I fixed myself, I turned around and was about to go out but I almost jumped when I saw Sophie smiling at me.

"Hey, wanna have some fun?" She asked.

"I am already having fun." I laughed.

She approached me with a smile on her lips.

"Bitch, I am talking the different fun. Wanna make your night memorable, Val?"

I gently hit her arm and shook.

"What is it?"

"Follow me, birthday girl."

I giggled, and since I was out of my wits I followed her as she did.

"Hey Sophie. Where are we going?"

"Just follow me!"

I ran to follow her, I blinked when I saw her go to the second floor, even though I was wondering what was happening, I followed her. She walked down a hallway, stopped at a door and frowned.

"What are we going to do here?"

She smirked at me.

"I'll make sure you have a memorable birthday, Val."

Suddenly the door opened, my eyes widened as she pushed me into the room, I fell down.

"Enjoy your night, Val!"

I hadn't even been there when the door suddenly closed, I stood up, I knocked on the door, I tried to open it but I couldn't.

"Open the door! Sophie, open the door!" No one answered. "I'm not kidding, open the door now, Sophie, please!"

I tried to shout, I tried to open the door but I really couldn't. I took a deep breath as I looked around, I gasped.

A red room.

The light here is red, it's a little dark so it hurts my eyes even more, I saw the large bed on the side, next to it was a table and a lamp with a weak lighting.

I was held at the end of my surroundings, I wet my lips. I looked in front of me. I creased my forehead, forced myself to see whatever was in front of me. I saw the black chair, I blinked.

My lips parted, I stepped back to see a man sitting there. He was wearing a black suit folded up to his elbow, I could see his forearms with tattoos. He was staring at me intently, I could see his high bridge nose, his green eyes, thick eyebrows. I can see his jaw clenching.

He had a gun in his hand that scared me.

"Who are you --" I didn't finish what I was going to say when he walked towards me.

He covered my mouth with his large calloused hand, his left hand was holding a gun, he was staring straight into my eyes.

And I can't deny the fact that he's god damn hot! With those tattoos on his forearms, and the right side of his neck, with his piercings. Holy crap, he looks so hunk.

I'm drunk! What am I even doing!

"Birthday girl..." He whispered his voice was hot, deep and hoarse. "Come have fun with me."

I felt something in my stomach that I can't explain.

He's undeniably hot, holy shit. He removed his hand from me, I closed my eyes when I felt his soft and warm lips on me, I pressed my body to the door, one of his hands held my waist.

I felt the strange feeling from his kiss, I gasped and that was the way for him to kiss me even more.

"I don't know you," I mumbled in front of him as I pulled away from the kiss.

"Isn't it more exciting when you don't know each other?" He teased.

His hand traveled from my waist, up to my back, his hand went down to my hip again until I flinched when I felt his warm palm on my thigh.

"Please..." I breathed.

"Please what?" He whispered, he rubbed my thigh, I bit my lower lip and closed my eyes tightly.

"I have a boyfriend," I said, still drowning in my fantasies as his touch continued to travel through my body.

"You want this," he said and I shook my head.

"I'm a good girl, I can't do this."

He gave me a sexy chuckled, he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him.

"No, you're not."

He suddenly sat on the chair, he pulled me again and made me sit on his lap, my hand moved spontaneously, snaked it around his nape for support.

While his left hand was holding a gun, his right hand kept holding my thigh, rubbing it, trying to heat me up.

"I have a boyfriend, please."

"I don't give a fuck." Ugh, his voice is really hot.

I feel hot, I know I'm drunk, even though I don't want to do it, I feel like I can't get away from him.

"What's your name?" He asked.

My head moved, I leaned on his broad shoulder.

"Valerie," I whispered, my breath hit his neck, I felt how he flinched.

"Let's make this birthday of yours hot, Valerie."

I didn't say a word, he touched my cheek, he kissed me again, I moved my lips, I felt his lips on my neck, I looked up and groaned.

"Hmmm," I hugged him tightly when I felt his teeth on my skin.

"You're hot," I giggled.

"I know."

"Obey me, if you will obey me, tonight will be easy." I nodded like a kid. "I won't let you go home."

I moved my lips, he kissed my collarbones, I felt him lower the strap of my dress, he kissed my shoulder. even though I'm not looking at him, I can feel his gaze on me.

I know this is wrong, but because of the heat brought by his body, I can't remove myself.

I have a boyfriend, I shouldn't do this. But hell, I couldn't resist it. he's hot, I can tell that he's hotter than my boyfriend.

This is a sin.

No.

I should push him away.

"Valerie," it's so hot, him mentioning my name.

His hand rose more and more on my thigh.

I just closed my eyes, letting myself be swallowed by the heat.

"I'm so sorry for this," I mumbled, I touched his cheek and kissed him again.

He pulled away, he suddenly picked me up and I leaned my head on his flat chest.

"Birthday girl, tonight you are mine."
