Chapter 4 - Dirtball
Leena lazily gazed at the handsome man approaching her. He looked handsome, but not to the point of stopping in your tracks. For Leena, not even a single person on this earth looks charming except her. Well, She is a narcissistic brat.
Leena picked a withered leaf fallen on the ground and started playing not bothered by his presence. The lost leaves over the dreary winter began to grow fresh newborn greens with the arrival of spring. The Daffodils bloomed beautifully over the DewGarden. All of a sudden, the fresh flowers reminded her of the Heacis mansion. The mansion was filled with all sorts of blooming flowers from tulips to golden daffodils, Lilies, bluebell, Hyacinth, all the buds fluttering and dancing with the cool breeze. Leena made a note to visit the mansion on Sunday.
"Hey, beautiful !!" The man smiled and initiated the conversation.
"What?" Leena asked raising her eyebrows. She briefly gazed at the man and resumed her playing. Strangely, she felt the withered leaf she is playing is more interesting than speaking to that man. Besides, she always avoided strangers.
"I am Lucas Richards, you can call me Luke. I have been following you from the day I noticed you at the park. You look damn beautiful and just my type. How about a date or a movie? " Since the day he saw her at the park, he was enthralled by this beauty. Her toned legs, slim waist and her hourglass figure were making him hard to control. He wanted to possess this beauty and the desire increased with each passing day.
"Oh!! But I only date uncles or elders." Leena calmly responded.
Lucas choked his saliva when he heard she only date uncles. Is she a Gerontophile? the one having intimate relations with elders. He never thought she is into that kind of one-night stands. If that is the case, he can easily satisfy her. The very thought of getting her under his pants excited him. If Leena heard his inner thoughts, she would have killed him on the spot. She was clearly avoiding him and this country bumpkin is not even catching it.
"How about we hookup, or a one night stand. Who knows, you may end up liking younger people after you serve me." The man playfully smirked and moved closer to her when the latter suddenly moved away and closed her nose as if she has smelled the most disgusting thing. The next words she uttered was a pure humiliation to him.
" Ewww your mouth stinks dirtball. Do you want me to recommend a good toothpaste?" Leena praised herself at the spontaneous thought. Still, with the closed nose, Leena got up and moved back. Even though she knew self-defence and it was broad daylight, she is still on her guards. Besides, there is no way she will waste her energy on this country bumpkin.
"How dare you insult the only heir of Richard's family?" Unconsciously, his hand went near his mouth to smell the bad breath she babbled about. When he sensed he was being played, his blood boiled with the humiliation he faced by a mere woman. No women dared to insult him much less ignore. He marched forward in her direction and grabbed her wrist roughly. Leena hissed at the sudden intrusion.
"Playing hard to get? I will make sure you beg for my mercy tonight and - " Before he could finish his words, Leena jerked her hand from his hold, grabbed his right arm, and twisted behind his back. She thrashed his leg which forced him to kneel and pushed his head down. She whipped his back with her right knee. The man groaned in pain like an animal with the near crushing of his backbone.
"Your loss dirtball. I hate someone touching me especially men. You want to play right? I will show you how it is played today. What if you are the heir of Richard's family, you dumbass." Leena whipped his back again and continued. "Do you have thorns on your head to bully women? Women are not your possessions. " Leena hated such type of men who treat women as a mere bed warmer. The soft docile look on her was now replaced by vicious women ready to pounce on her prey. She pressed his arm harder which earned another groan from him.
"Release my arm, you mad woman." Lucas hissed. He was not prepared for the sudden attack and never thought the soft-looking woman could be this brutal to the point of breaking his body. He dared to admit, but his body felt numb all over with the pressure she is putting on to thrash his back.
" Not until you beg for my mercy".
How did the tables turn?
"I - I beg you. Please release my arm." He abandoned his manly ego and begged her. There is no point in putting a hero act in front of this vicious woman. Besides there is still no guarantee, he would walk out with his bones intact if this mad woman continues her mission.
"That's my boy. Work out more and build your muscles, do not look at all the passing women. Don't worry I will go easy on you if we meet next time considering your strength. Men should always be obedient. See how cute you look now." Leena lectured him as if a mother scolding their children when they involve in mischievous deeds. After her so-called speech, Leena released his arm. She playfully winked at him and walked out whistling and singing a nursery rhyme.
"Spring is coming
Winter is going
Kids are playing
Time for some cleaning"
"What a rhyming Leena Hayes. You are a born poet." Being utterly shameless, she even patted herself with the new discovery.
" "
What is she? She behaved like a madwoman beating the shit out of him earlier, after that she acted like a lecturing mother and now she is behaving like a nursery kid. Is she possessed? Lucas shuddered at the mere thought of meeting her again and made a mental note to never cross path with this monster.
Unbeknownst to Leena, a pair of eyes watched all the activities unfolded and walked away with a sweet smile.
