A full weekend of pleasure

I was shocked when I heard about her life. I never realized that she had to suffer so much. I went after her to console her. She was lying on the bed, crying into her pillow. I gently put a hand on her shoulder. She suddenly turned and slapped me right across the face. I was absolutely stunned by her action.

A moment later, when she realized what had happened, she fell onto my shoulder, crying and apologized for slapping me. I consoled her by saying that it was alright, and I understood her pain. She cried for a few more minutes. She only stopped crying when the phone rang. She answered the phone as nothing had happened.

“That was Shalini. She said she would sleep at her friend’s house tonight. She asked me to tell you that she will need a few more hours of tutoring next weekend.” she informed me.

“Are you okay?” I asked.

“Yes, I am alright now. I am very sorry for what I did… I shouldn’t have… You should go now, Shalini won’t be back tonight.” Alia said, almost about to cry again.

“I told you I understand, and I can stay if you want. You shouldn’t be alone tonight.” I said, trying to console her.
