Not His Type

I take a sip from the glass of whiskey in my hand, looking down at the crowd.

My elbows resting on the railing as my gaze travels to the sweaty bodies grinding against each other.

Some making out in corners,others dancing without any care of the world.

Bored ,I was not fond of this environment.

But again,this was business.

And my business is my everything.

I was going to turn around to go inside my office,when my grey eyes took notice of something or rather someone

Through the clods of smoke I saw a figure clothed like it was -50 ° inside.

A full sleeve loose shirt,an old knitted sweater ,Khaki pants and what was that?

Sneakers?

Interested ,I places the glass down to stare a little longer.

The person was struggling to make way in the sweaty bodies.

Her hands tapping their shoulders,asking to be excused.

For a second I would have thought the person to be a short timid man,if it wasn't for her bosom.

Not full but still prominent enough to show her gender.

I couldn't see her face clearly. A black cap shielding her eyes from me, tucking her hair inside along with. I could only see her thin lips opening to say sorry again and again.

Taking another sip, I wonder how she got in,the manual clearly says for a dress code for entrance.

The manual I myself have set.

Sneakers and oversize shirts no way a part of them.

My eyes follow her through the crowd,till she stops in front of the private rooms.

Opening it slowly she enters.

This is going to be fun. I thought and I was proved right.

Few minutes later she emerges out, sweating and bothered.

Her hands adjusting her cap, fingers running on her lips and head lowered in embarrassment.

A smile comes on my lips as stares at her longer.

I wanted to scold my men for being so irresponsible.

But scolding and embarrassing this scared sheep further, didn't settle well with me.

Turning around ,I proceeds towards my office.

I still have a lot to do for today, determined to not get distracted again.

Excusing her this time, or rather the last time.

.........................................

I was going through the member register, dissapointed in the irregularity of its maintenance.

The sales figures look fine, but the replenishment of the stock seem suspicious.

Someone was definitely stealing.

Sighing ,I was determined to catch them.

It may sound small, considering how much money I own.

But business is business. And every peny counts in it.

More important is trust and if someone is stealing,they are breaching my trust.

A I never hire people I can't trust.

My thoughts were interrupted when one of the guards appeared at my door.

Bowing in acknowledgement.

"I am sorry for bothering you Mr Kingston. But the security caught a man stealing and he refuses to co-operate."

I look up, straightening my back and giving him my full attention.

My face cold and emotionless as usual.

"Send him in"

He nods and leaves to only return the very next minute.

I hold back my laugh at the person they were referring to as a thief.

Looking at the same black cap girl in front of me.

Her face was still lowered,hands behind her back and weight shifting from one leg to another.

I ask with a raised eyebrow.

"This boy?"

They nod and I again chuckle in my mind. Have I hired a bunch of blind men or what.

Can't they see she is a girl.

But then if I look at her generally,she can pass as a man.

A very fragile thin and undernutritioned young man.

"He is refusing to co-operate. We wanted to check him to see if he has stolen it,but he doesn't let us touch him."

I place one leg over the other. Enjoying this show for a change.

Checking they say, ofcourse she will not let random men touch her at inappropriate places.

I continue to examine her for next few seconds and then nod at my men.

"All of you can leave. I will handle this myself."

They bow their heads and leave. Closing the door behind.

Turning my attention back to the girl ,I see her rubbing her hands in anxiousness.

She has beautiful hands,I must say. With those long slender fingers and unpainted nails,they looked natural and elegant.

Her silence has a reason,I know well.

But I wanted to test her,to play with her and tease her a bit.

"So boy ,what did you steal?"

I ask and she gulps to lower her head further.

Hiding even her lips behind the shade of her cap.

She doesn't reply as expected and I step closer to her.

Sensing me approaching ,she herself steps back from me.

Making me smirk.

"Nothing...I..stole nothing"

She says in a crooked voice, trying to add that fake heaviness in her voice and I move my head in disbelief.

Does she consider me to a fool.

Continuing with the act,I step closer.

"Really? Then why don't you prove it ?"

I say almost cornering her.

Her back hits the wall and her hands clench to fists in front of her.

My next words made a gasp to leave her lips ,as her frame shudders in fear.

"Strip"

I stares in amusement as her hands move to hide her front from my eyes.

Her lips opening and closing in confusion.

"Strip?"

She manages to utter and I step back, placing my hands in my pant pockets.

"Yes Strip. Who knows what you are hiding behind those baggy clothes. You refuse to get checked by my men, so why don't you do it yourself?"

Her fingers play with the top button of her sweater.

To only clench her shirt in her small fists.

"Hurry up. I don't have the entire day for this."

I say and she again replies.

"I...I can't"

"You can't or you won't?"

"I...I am a bit shy"

I wanted to chuckle at this, this girl was pure stupid.

"We are both men here, what is there to shy about?'

She again goes silent and I sigh , turning around to sit back on my seat.

Picking up the receiver of the landline, I look up at her one last time.

" Security. Yes. Come back here and get the guy. Inform the police and let them-"

Before I could continue, the receiver was pulled from my hands and slammed on the telephone.

I look up surprised to see the girl standing in front of me, breathing heavily.

"I am sorry! Please don't call the police! I didn't steal anything! I swear!"

I smirk , folding my hands on the table.

"Come here"

I order and she surprisingly follows.

"Closer"

She was standing at a meters distance from me.

Adjusting the cap again to hide her face.

I sit up on my seat and look up at her.

The tip of her pointed nose and that small chin of hers visible.

"Do I look like someone you can lie to?"

My question surprises her.

"No Sir! Of course not! I am telling the truth. I wouldn't date to lie-"

I smirk , hardening my jaw at her audacity.

"And yet you lie again"

With this , I grabbed her waist and pulled her body on me.

She shrieked in surprise, not expecting this even in her dreams.

Her face pressed against my chest, hands holding onto my shoulders for support as she lands on my lap.

Her rose fragrance engulfing me completely.

Irritated with the cap veiling her emotions and expressions , I pull it up discarding it in a second.

But what I saw surprised me instead.

Long brunette hair ascend down in waves to reach my lap.

Surprised , I look up to see hazel eyes starting at me in astonishment.

Hypnotic

That's what I will call them , for it's been long since I last saw such innocent eyes starting at me, failing to veil her emotions.

Surprise, fear , anxiousness

All evident in their depths.

"I..I am so sorry! Sh**! Sorry! "

What was she apologizing for? I was the one who pulled her.

Was she asking forgiveness for her lies earlier, if yes, I can consider it.

She gets up almost instantly.

Like my touch burned her.

Her eyes looking for the cap, which no longer hid her identity.

To only stop at my hands , that held it casually.

"Looking for this?"

"See...I am sorry for this okay.Your men just presumed that I am a guy, I never said I was."

I raise my eyebrow at her, as she continued.

"I was here to check on my sister. She is too young for this place, yet she came here with her friends. I just wanted to make sure she is fine. Your men were not allowing me to enter so I sneaked in from the back door. I am really sorry but you need to understand my perspective-'

She kept on blabbering but I was not listening.

Intrigued by this girl.

Her hands were moving, trying to express herself.

While I stared at her. Boldly.

Her long hair looked so beautiful,it's a very rare sight these days.

Not many girls have such long hair.

How I wished to run my fingers on them to see if they were as soft as they looked.

Next my eyes stopping at her lips.

Getting assaulted by her teeth as she tried to justify.

" Can I go? Thank you. It was nice meeting you.I will see you...okay...bye"

She says giving me a fake chuckle , trying to get her cap back from my hands.

I tighten my grip on the cap and she surrendered to the tug of war.

"You like the cap. No problem. You can keep it, it's not that expensive anyways. I picked it from a random street sale."

Waving her hand at me, she proceeds to leave.

When my voice stops her.

"Stop"

Turning around , she states at the door and back at me.

Making a cute face, trying to escape this.

"I never asked you to leave. Please sit"

I say, picking up some papers. She follows my instructions surprisingly and sits down in front of me.

"So you said you were here because of your sister?How old is she?"

"Rain is merely 18. Very young I know , but her friends are a bunch of spoiled brats! I wonder why she hangs out with them. I am here with her but she doesn't goes out with me-"

I can see why she doesn't go with her. This girl here is from the 1900's. Her clothes , telling it already. Fashion sense almost non existing.

"She is old enough to be here. It's nothing wrong, however...."

I pause to stare at her from top to bottom.

"You don't look like.....anyways. Entering from the pack door is intrusion. It's a crime. If you don't know."

Her innocent eyes spark with anger and next I know, she was no longer that sweet obedient girl.

"You don't look like what? What were you trying to say? Who are you to judge me! Did I say this stupid suit doesn't look good on you? Did I say something to you!"

"Calm down girl. I was just stating the obvious. This temper tantrum of yours, an evidence to my statement. And you didn't say it , because this suit does looks good on me."

She rolls her eyes, getting up and placing her hands on her waist.

"See Sir, my sister in here in this useless place doing good knows what and I can't let these drunk asshol** take advantage of her. If you can't find her for me, let me do it myself. "

She gets up to leave when I block her way.

Her angry orbs starting at me in defiance.

"You can't enter my club without my permission. Especially in clothes like this."

"So you either get out from here or change your clothes to something appropriate.

I won't be bending my rules for likes of you"

"Watch me then. Asshol*!"

She pushes my chest to leave, when I grab her wrists and pull them up.

Hitting her back on the wall, I see her looking back at me with those murderous eyes.

"Leave me"

She says and I smirk.

Challenging her to do her worst.

"Agree. Or I will make sure you are escorted out."

She breathes heavily, tired of my persistence.

"What's wrong in these clothes anyways? They are decent enough"

I wanted to laugh at this. Was she girl from Mars or what?

"They are rags princess. We don't allow beggars here."

My words hit a soft spot. Okay , I said a bit too much.

What if she is really poor? I regretted my words the second they left my lips.

Her eyes sadden but then she comeback with more ferociousness.

Starting back at me with chin held high, she whispers lowly.

"Get me the clothes then. I don't have these kind "

I smirk at her , leaving her wrists and placing her cap back on her head.

"Follow me "

"This....no...this....no...what the hell? These is nothing appropriate here!"

She says, running her hand through her hair. Looking at the line of clothes in irritation.

I just lean my back on the wall and stare at her back.

Her figure could be perfect behind those baggy clothes...I can tell it.

Then why is she hiding it?

"Need some help deciding?"

I ask raising my eyebrow at her and she steps closer to me.

Pointing her finger at me.

"You? You will help. Oh please"

I just sigh and move towards the line of dresses. My eyes stopping at a red gown which will be perfect for her.

I pull it out and nearly throw it at her,as she catches it before it could fall.

Her widened eyes staring at it in disbelief to stare back at me.

"This? No way! I -"

"Just go and change girl. I don't have time for this."

She bites her lip, stopping her comeback.

Turning around she leaves to change and I look at my watch.

11:37 pm

I sigh. I have so much to do plus I have a very important meeting tomorrow.

Hope this just ends after this.

She comes out of the try room and without even looking at her,I turn around to leave.

"Now enter. Search for your sister and just get out from here. You have caused enough problems already."

I was at the threshold ,when I heard her low voice.

Making me curse in my mind.

"Stop!....Can you...please let me change back? I am really not comfortable. I look like those despos who throw themselves at men...when I am not..I just want to find my sis-"

I look up at her and my mind goes blank.

Fuck!

She looks beautiful. The dress hugs to her like second skin. And her hourglass figure just makes want to do so many things to her.

Dammit! She is too innocent!

I can't have such thoughts about her.

Her lips are moving as she blabbers some shit. While I just took in her features.

She looks cute,her hands try to cover her cleavage by pulling on its neck.

Making me smirk.

She is going to attract to much attention when she walks back.

And the best part being.

She is not wearing makeup, nothing.

So nude and natural.

"You look fine. Just go"

I say , looking at her one last time and turning my face away from her.

She is not my type.

No way near and it's better if I stay away from her.

Girls like her are too sensitive. And I can't afford such a baggage.

Crying and heartbreak shit just irritates me,and she was a full package of that.

I hear her clicking heels behind me,but I don't stop.

Determined to reach my office and complete my work.

"Hey! Listen... atleast help me finding her!"

I just raise my fingers and dismiss her, making my way through the people and loosing her behind somewhere.

......................................................

She looked lost.

He was gone leaving her to find Rain on her own. While she felt her heard thudding in her chest when she looked up to see people staring at her.

Clenching her fist,she wanted to escape this place.

These eyes of men and women.

This stink of alcohol and shit.

But she has to find Rain.

After their parents left them , Rain was her only family and only responsibility.

She could do anything for her.

Gathering enough courage, she straightened her back and looked up.

This time,she didn't had to tap on people's shoulder and ask them to move aside.

They cleared her way and stared back at her.

Before she could even utter the word 'excuse me'

Is this because of her mere change of clothes?

Do clothes matter so much?

Gulping,she nervously smiles at the people staring and made her way inside.

To the centre of the crowd.

"Where are you? Rain..."

Lost in thoughts ,she didn't realise when someone moved behind her and closed up.

Only when she felt a hand on her ass ,did she shriek in surprise and look back in disbelief.

Blue eyes of a stranger stared at her, a cocky smile plastered on his lips.

"Looking for someone? Beautiful?"

No one has ever called her beautiful. She should thank him per se her etiquettes but the way he stared at her, it felt really uncomfortable.

"Huh?"

She asks confused. To only have him smile at her and move closer. She moved back afraid to only hit someone else behind.

"Sorry...I...am really... sorry"

She started apologizing and the girl she bumped into just gave her a look of disgust.

Turning back and continuing dancing.

The stranger in front of her look amazed, stopping a waited , he picks up two glasses of drink and offer one to her.

"Come on. Have it. It will calm your nerves."

She looks at the glass and then back at him.

He can't be trusted.

She reads enough news to know what happens in these parties.

"I...dont drink...just excu-"

"Oh come on sweet cheeks , this is non alcoholic. Here"

He says forcibly placing it in my hands and I hold it with cold fingers.

Oh god! I am so nervous ,she thought.

Giving him a small smile and nearly running from there.

The guys calls her from behind. But she just rushes out. Desperate to escape him.

Placing the untouched glass on a side table,she takes a deep breath looking around.

It was dark corner, a little secluded from the main area and she thought of resting there.

When her eyes fell on a couple making out in a corner and she literally places her palms on her eyes.

Surprised and shocker to her core.

Apologizing,she was going to turn around and leave when her eyes fell on the purse ,laying on the sofa next to her.

It was the very purse she has gifted Rain ,with her first income.

A branded purse Rain wanted to have so badly.

The moaning of the girl behind her made her freeze as the realisation of the girl being rain came upon her.

No! She....

She turns around and her mouth opens in shock when the green eyes of her sister lock with her wide hazel ones.

"Rain?"

She almost utters in disbelief as the girl pushed aside the boy hurriedly.

"Sis? Shit! "

The boy turns around as well ,to look at the girl in surprise.

While Rain picks up her discarded top and hurriedly wears it.

Throwing the boys shirt on top of him as well.

If eyes could kill,the boy would be dead.

The anger in Rose's eyes raw and burning.

"You bastard! How dare you touch my sister?"

And that was it. Rose grabbed the boy's collar and slammed him down.

He struggled to let loose ,but Rose was seeing red.

"Step behind me Rain. I won't leave him!"

Rose screams , throwing a punch at him and Rain places her hand on her mouth in disbelief.

Not able to understand what to do.

Holding onto her sisters arm,she tried to pull her back,but all invain.

"Sis! Please! Leave him! He didn't.... please just listen to me!"

Rose has turned all ferocious like a lioness, her nails scratching the boys face and chest. As he tried to save himself from his girlfriend's sisters wrath.

"Sis please! He didn't do anything-"

"Step back Rain. You are too young, you don't know men like him! I swear to god I will break you hands that dared to touch her!"

She twisted the boys arm behind his back, making him let out a scream of pain.

People surrounded the scene but Rose didn't cared.

The thought of this bastard hurting her sisters.

Blinding him of everything.

She was on the verge of breaking his wrist.

When suddenly ,her own sister screamed at her in hatred.

"Just leave him Rose! I love him!"

Rose's hand stilled and she let go of the boy in an instant.

Her eyes fixed at her sister who looks at her with hatred.

Nearly pushing Rose aside, Rain approaches the boy and places his head in her lap.

Caressing her face with tears in her eyes.

"Theo? I am so sorry...are you fine...oh my god...you are bleeding."

The boy stumbles but still manages to get up. Nodding at Rain.

"I..I am fine don't worry"

He says, cleaning the blood on his cheek. Where Rose's nail has just scratched him.

Rain looks at his face closely,to feel sad and pity.

Her stare shifts to her sister and she pulls Theo behind her.

Holding his hand and screaming at Rose for the first time in her life.

"What the fuck Rose? You can't just come in and hit him like that!"

Rose looks at Rain in disbelief. Her own sister was screaming at her to defend this boy?

What didn't she gave her?

Why?

"But Rain. He was....you guys were...."

Rain sighs to begin again. Stepping closer to her.

"You can't even utter the word sex dammit! What are you? A retarded? Yes. We were having sex and he is my boyfriend. If you have a problem?"

She steps even closer and Rose feels tears sting her eyes.

"You can go fuck yourself. Sister or not!"

The crowd around started whispering as Rose just stares at Rain.

Not able to believe this.

The boy Theo pulls back Rain,asking her to stop but Rain was determined.

Determined to let her sister know that she can't control her life.

She was independent and she didn't needed her lectures.

"But Rain.I was just...you are just 18...you don't know anything...-"

Rain just rolls her eyes at her. Scoffing at her words.

"I am an adult Rose and who are you to tell me this? Just look at you?"

"Please Rain... don't..."

Rose says, taking notice of the large crowd that has gathered around them.

She didn't wanted to create a scene,she hated attention like anything.

The tears she was trying to control were brimming.

"You are a fuck*** virgin at 25 Rose.I don't want to be a loser like you. And your mentality...you are not living in 1900's dammit! I guess now you know why no one wants to date you!"

That was it. The first teardrop leaves her eyes and she closes them.

Not able to look at her baby sisters hatred filled eyes.

Has she failed in taking care of her? Was she really a loser.

"Go and get some life Rose. Stop fucking intruding in my personal matters every damn time."

Rose couldn't look up. Rain holds Theo's hand firmly and pulls him along.

Hitting Rose's shoulder intentionally and leaving.

Rain stares at the ground.

As teardrops fall on the black tiles beneath.

Has she failed her parents? She promised to take good care of Rain after they left.

Has dhe failed?

Slowly the crowd dispersed. But for Rain,the world stood still.

Her sisters words ringing in her ears.

"A loser like you..... Your mentality........no one wants to date you....."

She cleans her tears and looks up. She was not a loser ...she will prove it.

Turning around,she felt everyone's stare on her but she didn't cared.

Sitting on a revolving chair at the bar shelf ,she looks up at the bartender.

"One whiskey on the rocks"

He smiles at her , placing a glass in front of her.

"Which one will you like ma'am?"

He asks and she says as another tear manages to slide down her cheek.

"The strongest."
