Dolly sat still, eyes non blinking as she tried hard to fight back the tears. "And I told you not to marry him", she heard her granny say to her mum.
They were talking about her dad. Whenever they do that, they always make sure she was faraway or not around them at all but they supposedly got carried away with their talk and forgot she was at the table with them.
She really hates him. The reason why she became who she is, the reason why she chose this world she's in. She won't mind killing him over and over and over again.
She abruptly stood up from the dinning chair, startling her granny and mum from the sound made. "I'll be back", she announced with a low voice.
"Where are you going to?" Her mum asked with a loud voice but Dolly was gone even before her mum completed the question.
She got outside, inhaling the air as she felt calm immediately. She really loves nature.
Nature makes her calm in ways she cannot explain, it is really therapeutic to her and eases her off stress at all times.
She left the vicinity of her grandma's house, taking a walk from there as she breathed in the air of late evening.

Evan kept picking his food at the family dinner while listening to his immediate family and extended ones chatter away. He wished to join in the chattering but he just wasn't that way.
Every last Saturday of the month, Evan's family, together with his uncle's, aunties and cousins met. They do this to tighten the family bond and to discuss important issues, still over dinner.
Evan felt so left out. His brother was obviously having fun but he just didn't feel like being there. He stood up and went out.
He opted to taking a walk around the street, instead of remaining bored. After walking for a short distance, he stumbled across a club and went in in the hope of having a little bit of fun.
Once he got in, the sound from the blaring speaker got to him first, followed by the noises of drunk, horny youths. He scrunched his face in disgust as he sighted some people making out, some dighting, right there in public.
He went to the bar and ordered a non alcoholic drink. The bar man laughed him off, offering him a mixture of strong alcoholic drinks but of course, Evan accepted it without a fight. He's not interested in arguing with anyone.
As he poured the content in his mouth, he squeezed his face as it burnt his throat. He loved the sweet-and-sour taste he got from the drink that he ordered another.
The barman teased him about the drink before pouring him another shot. He laughed, almost chocking on his drink.
After ordering more shots, he soon became drunk and his vision slightly blurred. He knew he have had enough and paid the batman, giving him a tip.
He tried standing up but fell back on his seat. When he stood up again, he didn't fall back but stood his ground.
As he took a step, he tripped over his other leg and stumbled forward colliding with a body.

Dolly entered the club she had found while taking a walk and ordered a drink immediately to cool herself.
It is not her first time of going to clubs as she had met many clients and eliminated several people in different clubs so the noise and whistles from the men didn't bother her.
Since she drinks a lot and doesn't get drunk easily. She ordered the bar man to make her a strong drink which he didn't hesitate in doing.
She collected the drink from him. Loving the strong taste, she ordered more shots and continued gulping down the drinks.
When she felt she's had enough, already feeling the effects of the drink, she payed the barman, leaving her change with him.
She stood up to leave but collided with a body or rather, a body collided with her. A very hard one which showed the value of working out.
Her lips slightly apart as she saw him. He was tall and broad. His shirt which was slightly openy showed how hard his chest is.
She knew without a doubt that there would be the complete number of abs, or even more.
His skin was fair, almost white. His lips so red that looked like it would burst anytime soon.
His hair brown and curly as she imagined what it would feel like to brush her fingers through it.
Her breathe hitched as she saw his ocean blue eyes piercing into hers. She really doesn't understand what this feeling is but it wasn't a good one at all.
Evan found it hard to believe what his eyes saw. He was seeing an angel on earth, or rather, he was in heaven.
He thought been drunk was the reason he was seeing an angel on earth but when he rubbed his eyes and found her still there, he realized she's indeed human. Angel in human form.
Evan's eyes travelled down Dolly's face, stopping at her lips as she grew hot. He continued checking her out as he looked down the remaining part of her body.
Dolly has never felt this way, never felt this comfortable of a stranger checking her out.
She had always felt irritated whenever a man checks her out, always felt like punching him on his face so that he would never be able to see again.
But with him, it felt different. It felt like she wanted him to complement her. To remind her of how beautiful she is. With him, his opinion matters a lot, even more than her's or anybody's.
She turned redder, if possible, and her face hotter when she the stranger looked back at her face.
He looked at her with admiration, a lustful gaze coupled with adoration and blissfulness if that made any sense.
She doesn't know what this stranger is doing to her, making her to think amiss. Making her to remain still and completely helpless with just his gaze.
Evan moved closer to her, his gaze on her pink, succulent, lips, covering up the space between them and did just one thing that came to his mind.
