That One Deal by Barnali Bhuiya (ebook reader .TXT) 📗

"David, I...", Luna is stepping back.

"Shhh!", While David is walking towards her.

"David...", Suddenly pulling her towards his chest David says,"Are you afraid I will eat you up?"

"Ehh? No, I...", Her heart is beating faster.

As David touches her cheeks Luna closes her eyes. She is shaking,"Don't kiss me..."

But getting a hit on her forehead she opens her eyes. David is not kissing her, he's not even standing infront of her. He left already. She sighs.

Going to the door she closes it well. David came back to his room getting a call from Michael. But remembering her reaction David smiles. Like Jerry is afraid of Tom.

The Next Morning

While working Luna feels quite lazy, getting up she goes to get herself a coffee but when she sees Mr. Jack she smiles. Showing him respect but for someday Luna has noticed that Mr. Jack is avoiding her.

"Mr. Jack?", She says.

"Yes?", He doesn't look at her.

"Did something happened? You seem to avoid me...", Luna got to learn a lot from him. She respects him.

"You were the one telling me not to disturb you ever again...", He says.

"Me? But I never said it...", Luna is surprised to hear it.

"Wait!", Giving her his phone he says more,"See it yourself. Might you forgot."

"When did I wrote these? No, I never been this rude to anybody...", Luna is stunned. Really she is.

*****

"Hi! Miss Luna. Ahh there's a client tomorrow. May we go together if you don't have any problem..."

"No I can go alone. Thanks."

"Ohh. Then I'll send you the address."

"Thanks."

"... Umm, are you at home? I mean did you reached at your home already?"

"None of your buisness. May you stay away to me or you'll be in trouble. Bye, Mr. Jack."

And it was the ending of their chats. 

*****

"But, I don't know who messaged. I'm not the one. I...", She's dumbfounded.

"It's ok. You don't need to feel bad. I won't disturb you Miss Luna.", Smiling he leaves her alone.

Thinking of who can do it she can think of only one person. Except David who else can it be!!! But she's thinking of when she left her phone, many questions are roaming around in her mind.

Going to David's cabin she doesn't look at him. But she goes to her table. Yes, not only her job changed but her place too. In work David can keep an eye on her like he wants.

"Pass me that fille.", Hearing so Luna takes a file and putting it on the table she turns around when David says,"Not on the table."

"Geez!", When she gives him the file he not only pulls her towards him but he sits on the table to make her sit on his lap. Wrapping his arms around her he says,"You are smelling quite good."

"Huh? You!", Luna can't move at all. His strong arms are hard to resist.

"Yes me.", Strengthening his grip he planted a kiss on her lips.

Widening her eyes Luna closes her lips. She doesn't move at all.

In The Evening

"Where she went?", David didn't saw Luna after they finished the meeting.

"This girl!", As she's not picking up the call David is getting angry.

There Luna is lying on the floor, stained in blood. She's so weak that she can't even get up. 

She looks around trying to search her phone. Tears are falling down to her eyes. Her ripped dress and bruises, she's breathing hard.

Her stepmom called her saying she wants to meet her. Not only tonight but she met her before also. Like while getting off job, or other times but everytime she behaved like she changed. Now, she really wants to be the best mother but she didn't change actually. She was waiting to eat her prey at the right time.

"Did you got it?", Says David shouting at a man.

"Yes Boss, here's the location.", As the man holds him a phone. David is worried as hell. 

The more Luna tries to get up the more she ends up hurting herself. She tries to move forward while her legs are hurting.

When she reaches to the door someone steps his foot on her finger. Luna screams louder in pain, she cries.

"Does it hurt?", Hearing it she looks up,"Bro..."

"I told you DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME BRO.", Raven says. Every single word by him, the pressure he holds on his feet is increasing making Luna feeling like dying.

"Bro, please... Let m...", She's crying.

"You!!!", He leaves her fingers in pain.

"God...", Luna says.

"Raven? What are you doing?", Suddenly Mrs. Addison comes out of nowhere.

"Mom? What are you doing here?", Raven seems to be afraid seeing her suddenly.

"Luna?", As soon as her eyes goes on Luna, she runs towards her,"Get up dear..." Looking at Raven angrily she slaps him.

"Mom, I..." Raven tries to say something.

"Shut up! How many times I told you she's your little sister. Don't harm her!!!", She helps Luna to get up. Luna can't even stand, she's sweating and crying.

"Mom...", She says, she can hardly utter a word. Sitting on the floor she tries to get up again.

"Don't you feel ashamed? See what you did to her!!!", Giving her a hand while Luna almost gets up suddenly the hand was holding her, giving her strength leaves her hand.

Falling hard she looks up, a witch is laughing louder looking at her. She was just her prey, she understood it now.

"Ohh! She might be surprised.", Both Raven and Mrs. Addison laughs louder.

"Why did you do it? Mom...", Luna really thought Mrs. Addison has changed already but she was wrong. Now, she can understand what David told her was true. She shouldn't have bail them. They were never meant to change but always staying as the evil.
