Christian was what you would call, an average student attending university life. As a first-year student, he was finding it a bit hard to cope with the new school life he was now experiencing and felt stuck. He had a weaker physique than others, as well as drop-dead gorgeous looks that any girl would swoon over. With a weak body like his, he was usually bullied by the other males who felt inferior to him, and because he was also popular amongst the girls, this made him a bit withdrawn from others. This all changed with a single encounter, and this encounter would change the life he was trying to cope with upside down
It was nearing the end of January, yet the dark clouds and the light-falling snow were not following the natural order of things.
According to the weather forecaster, the weather in Sunflower City and the cities around it would have to face severe snowstorms and cloudy weather during the next few weeks, and even February was not an optimistic month at all.
The snowflakes fell from the heavens above and blessed the mortal lands with their white radiance, as everywhere one looked, all he or she would see was white.
"Man, my flight has been canceled," a passerby said as he looked at his smartphone with a helpless look on his face as he trudged through the now-almost ankle-high snow.
The snow shovelers on the street were doing their job, but the way the snow kept falling to the ground was akin to rainfall. Even though it was falling so lightly, standing under the snow after a few hours would cover your whole body from head to toe in the snow.
The streets of Sunflower City were emptier than usual since the snow kept some of the inhabitants indoors, as they feared that the unpredictable weather that had even baffled the meteorologists into scratching their heads would affect them in some way.
As the weather was looking more and more unfavorable, a young man in his early twenties braved this unpredictable weather like a sea captain, facing a sea storm that made the waves of the sea rise as high as skyscrapers.
He wore the standard winter attire: a coat, beanie, gloves, earmuffs, and high boots.
He had his hands in his coat pocket, and a backpack that had gotten a little makeover by the snow was neatly placed on his back as he made his way to the only bus stop-a bus that went directly to his school.
He schooled in the next city since Sunflower City was more of a business-oriented city and Blue Crest City was the educational one, with museums, theatres, schools, colleges, and universities.
He attended Blue Crest University, and since it was in another city, he had to, of course, take different buses to reach there since the ride was a bit long.
This bus was just a foundation that had been laid for the new transportation means that the city was planning to undergo, but it was a topic for another time.
It was 7 a.m., and the bus arrived at 7:15 a.m., and the total bus ride from Sunflower City to Blue Crest and right at his school was about 3 hours. It was stressful, yes, and he might get to school a bit late, but he always has classes in the afternoon, luckily for him.
After waiting, the familiar yellow bus was seen making its way towards the bus stop at its own pace.
The bus finally stopped, and with the push of a button by the driver, the automatic doors of the bus swung open, revealing the interior of the bus and the female bus driver, Miss Olivia.
"How are you doing today, Christian?" She asked when she saw her regular border one week ago and her favorite passenger.
"Great, what of you?" He asked back as he entered to not keep the passengers behind him waiting.
"You know, I'm I'm still going strong.." She flexed her biceps, which showed that she was not a woman to mess with.
"Okay." Christian made his way to the middle row and found his favorite sitting spot on the bus, but saw that today was one of the days that he was going to sit with a stranger on the bus.
"Oh, hi" The lady on the second seat greeted him with a harmless and genuine smile that made his skin crawl. He did not know why, but he felt that this woman was dangerous.
"H-hi" He greeted her back awkwardly as he looked around the bus for another seat for him to claim.
"Are you not comfortable with me sitting here?" The lady suddenly spoke, and her words caught Christian off guard as he looked back at her.
"No, it's not that; I usually pick this seat since others don't usually sit here," Christian explained as he took this time to look at the lady he was talking to.
She had long, wavy red hair; he was not sure if it was dyed since she was also wearing a beanie, and she also wore the standard winter attire, but she's was not as complete as Christian's, as she was not wearing ear muffs and gloves, and she wore a boot that hid her feet and her legs were equally covered in black leggings.
"It's not appropriate to stare at a woman for so long, young man." The lady spoke again with a playful tone as she saw that a handsome boy like him was checking her out. 'I guess I am still attractive.' She laughed in her mind when she had that thought. It was not that she was old, but the men she had dated could not handle her second lifestyle.
"I'm sorry," he replied as he looked back at her face and turned his head away, dodging the red eyes of the woman, who had a playful glint in them.
"I don't accept that kind of apology; why don't you sit down with me and let's talk some more? I kind of like our conversation," she proposed. "And you are blocking the way for the other passengers.".
Christian was shocked when he heard her and looked behind him to confirm, since he did not mean to obstruct the other passengers, but felt his vision shift and saw himself on the chair beside the woman.
"Now you have no excuse since you are the one who sat here yourself. I am Christina Celeste, by the way, 25 and still single." Christina said with a smile at Christian.
Christian just looked at her for a while and opened his mouth. " Christian Bale, 16 years old and betrothed"
"..."

What do you think I did? Did I take her back or made her suffer? Find out!

"Ahh!" She was in a moaning mess. She did not want to feel anything for this man. She hated him. His hands began to move all over her body. She gasped when he pulled down the back chain of her dress. The chain stopped at her lower waist, so when he zipped it off, her upper back and waist were exposed. "D-Don't touch m-ummm!" His fingers rolled around her bare back, and she pressed her head against the pillow. His touches were giving her goosebumps all over her body.
