I was sitting there, listening to the music in my car, having a little break from work. It has been a really busy day at the office; holiday season is upon us all. I reclined the seat, blasting the heat to full, fogging up the car windows. I relaxed a bit, turned down the volume of the radio so that I could possibly be able to take a short nap before going back into the crazy buzz of the office, my boss looking over my shoulder so that he can get credit for my work. Impossible to keep sane in that office, I thought, as I closed my eyes.
Then, there was a tap. I sighed, irritated that I canât even spend my short break uninterrupted. I tried to roll down my window, but it was stuck. I couldnât even see who it was, since the heat had fogged up my windows completely. I had to open the door, and there he was, pushing me over to the passenger side, shiny knife demanding me to not make a sound.
âI wouldnât fight, if I were you. You see this? Iâm not afraid to stab you with it if it will keep you under control.â
In shock, I wasnât able to comprehend what was happening. I couldnât think, much less speak. I sat there, dumbfounded.
âGood girl,â he said, ânow put on your seat belt; weâre going for a little ride.â
âPlease, sir. I have to go back to work. I will do anything â just let me go. I can give you money, my credit cardsâŠâ
âNow, donât worry. I will make you do everything. If youâre good, you might even enjoy it.â And he grinned at me. He seemed normal. He was tall and big, someone that knows how to control. He seems to have a powerful body, muscles and pretty nice looking face. I wouldnât mind dating him, only if he wasnât so ragged and dirty looking. I am being car jacked, I told myself. I have to find a way out. He had locked my doors and he shut off the radio. He would hear me unlocking the door, so no way I was going to risk jumping out. I had to wait until he let me go.
My cell phone rang in my purse. It had to be the office.
âDonât answer thatâ he commanded.
âSir, I know itâs my work. I was supposed to go back in after the break.â
âWell, now, darling. Youâre not going back, no are you? Donât take the call.â
The phone stopped ringing, but a second later, it rang again.
âTake the phone out and throw it out of the car NOW.â
So I did.
He drove, it seemed, for miles. I had no idea where we were headed or even where we were. I was nervous and felt like crying. I needed to get out, get out, get out. I could feel him looking at me from the corner of his eye. Soon, he reached over, putting his right hand on my thigh. I sucked in my breath. The knife was right under his leg, ever ready to be sprung out to cut me.
âPlease, please donâtâŠâ
âDonât what, hon. Iâm not doing anything⊠yetâ and so his moved his hands up, under my skirt hem, inching up my sensitive areas and in between my legs. I shifted so that he wouldnât touch me, a huge mistake.
He pulled over the car to the side of the road, rage in his eyes.
