It started with a party.
That's how it always starts isn't it? A party, a party he never even wanted to go to. Matthew was a quiet lad, barely ever leaving the safety of his home. If there was ever a word to describe him it would be average. He was average in height, average in build, and all around average in the looks department. No one ever paid him any real mind. For the most part that's how he liked it. Now don't get him wrong it wasn't that he liked being alone. It was more ... he had gotten used to it.
So he was less than thrilled when his friends showed up and practically drug him out to their car.
"Oh come on guys, you know I don't like this."
"That's why you've got to go," his friend laughed.
The party in question was being thrown by one of the players on the college's football team. That meant a lot of people β a lot of people Matthew didn't know. Everywhere he turned there were people crowded together, drinking, dancing, making out and god only knows what else. Less than a minute after they drug him through the doors his friends were gone, off doing their own thing.
Matthew stood alone most the night just feeling really uncomfortable. God, he hated these things. He went to check the time on his phone for the umpteenth time only to find it gone.
"Oh come on."
He retraced his steps through the crowded mess. He flinched inwardly as they all bumped into him, knocking him around, just making a god awful fuss. Things would be so much simpler if he didn't have to deal with so many people.
"There it is!"
How did it get clear on the other side of the house?
It was nearly two in the morning when his friends finally had enough and went home. Matthew couldn't have been happier. The next day he got a text. He didn't recognize the number and the message ... well it disturbed him to say the least.
I have powerful arms and legs. I have large, soft, strong hands. I have big, firm breasts. I have soft, full lips. I will take you, I will have you, and I will keep you. Soon, I will claim you. You cannot escape, no one will hear anything. You will not even be able to beg me to let you go. Soon my darling. Soon.
He had to laugh. Clearly she was talking to someone else, no one wanted him like that. He decided to tell her so.
I'm sorry Miss but I'm afraid you have the wrong number.
No, I don't.
