Miss Sales Manager - Volume 1 Chapter 12

Hearing Tina say that Fred was shocked, he never expected that she would say that. He said, ‘my home is nearby, but I don’t think it would be appropriate. ‘Tina took a sip of wine, licked her lips and said, ‘let’s go to your place, I will leave my car here, is it fine,? ‘ he nodded in agreement. His heart was beating so quickly, at the prospect of Tina coming to his place. He didn’t know what to expect and he never saw her losing control and acting like this. Will he be able to control himself if she comes to his place and wants to get close. He didn’t know and at this moment he didn’t care. He felt that this would help their relationship to move further. He loved her with his whole heart, and sincerely hoped that some day she would reciprocate his feelings.

He parked Tina’s car in the hotel’s parking lot and said he would pick it up the next day.Then he and Tina reached his place. His place was simple and elegant. The furniture, and interiors were tastefully done. Tina looked at the place and said, ‘I like your place, ‘ he said ‘yes I have good taste’ with a teasing tone, she blushed beautifully. He said, ‘make your self comfortable, I will be right back’Tina sat on a chair and was admiring the place, she didn’t exactly know what she was thinking when she asked Fred to take her to somewhere private. But she had to speak. She had so many things she needed to share about her past. Fred came back with a pot of tea and home made cookies, set the tray on a table and pulled over a chair for himself.

He poured two cups of tea and handed a cup to Tina. She thanked him and took a sip, it felt comforting, she looked at Fred and said, ‘Fred, I need to share something with you, the Tina who you know is a stranger to me. I was a warm person, I was very approachable and endearing.’ she took another sip of tea and continued, ‘I was topper in college, I was active in sports, I was the leader of a debate team in my college. I used to be a star in my college, there was no one who didn’t know my name. Everything was going well till I met George. He joined our college from second year of the college, people said that he was expelled from the previous college but we didn’t know the reason. He was a football player, as soon as he came, he joined the college football team. With his looks and football talent he became a college sweetheart. Every girl fancied him, I also felt that he looked good’

‘One day on the way home, George stopped me. He asked if he could have the Organic Chemistry notes. I said yes and gave it to him. The next day he returned it and asked me to check the last page. My heart was beating so fast, my hands were shivering as I looked at the last page. There was only one word written, ‘coffee?’

‘I liked it, I nodded and said, ‘yes’ with a smile. It was an innocent meeting. We sat at our college canteen, and had coffee. He started following me every where from then on. I couldn’t ignore him, his devilishly attractive looks, his charm made me fall for him. He invited me to come and watch his football match, I dressed myself up in the shortest skirt I had. He helped the team to win with a score of 3-0.He made two goals out of the three and when he made the winning goal, he blew a kiss in my direction. I was completely enchanted, once the match was over, he came over to me and asked me to walk with him. I was walking and suddenly we came accross an abandoned house, he took me into it and kissed me. It was my first kiss, we made out, I was too scared but thrilled. He said he loved me. It was the happiest day of my life. We walked out of the place, he dropped me at my home and left. ‘

Tina sipped her tea and continued, ‘I started following him around and everyone in college came to know about us. We didn’t intend to hide it, there were people who warned me that he was a rich spoilt kid, but I didn’t heed their advice, I was head over heels in love. I completely neglected my studies and failed in a subject during internals. The college principal called my parents and informed them that I was neglecting my studies as I am roaming with my boyfriend. My dad had to take a loan and do over time to pay my fee. I felt ashamed of myself, I couldn’t face my parents. They didn’t say anything to me, this was too devastating. George came to meet me, he called me over to his place. The shame that I felt vanished, I went over, he started kissing me urgently, even I wanted to give myself to him at that moment. Suddenly his phone rang, the display read girlfriend 2.’

Tina took a deep breath and continued,’my heart broke, he tried to cover it but he couldn’t. He begged me to stay and promised me that he would break up with that girl. I didn’t listen to him and started moving out of his place. Then he called me a bitch and said that I was the easiest girl he could get to his bedroom. He said that it took only two months for me to come to his bedroom. It was the shortest time he took to get a girl to come over for s.e.x. He said that every guy knew that I was going to come over to his place today. Even if nothing happened, people would assume that he took my v.i.r.g.i.nity. I turned towards him and slapped him hard. I said I didn’t care and left his place. I went home, begged my parents to forgive me, told everything that happened and promised that I would not let anyone distract me. They have forgiven me and helped me heal. ‘

‘I studied hard, there were many rumours going around the college, I didn’t care, I stood as a topper in the semester exam. I became a lonely person, I built a wall around myself and didn’t let anyone come close. I completed my bachelors and took a job to help my dad repay the loan. George broke my heart so badly. From then on, I never paid any attention to guys. I was focused on studies then and now my career’ she didn’t know that she was crying. Tears were rolling down her cheeks. She was unable to control herself. Fred came to her, wiped her tears, she hugged him burying her head in his chest.
