Chapter 1 - New Place, New People

Bangkok was beautiful.. And I told myself that it was probably because it's Thailand's capital, but since I moved here I've kinda experianced pretty awesome things in this place on my own. The city is known for a lot of things but mostly its vibrant street life.

When I got here I had no idea what that meant but I sooner understood when I decided to take a stroll down the streets to refresh my head and make it run away from some old demons I was trying so hard not to think about.

Olivia made it a bit easy. Her late night calls where she'd force me to remind myself how smart I was and how it wasn't a coincidence that I got this job and I should make the best of it. She was God sent.

3 months fully in Thailand and you'd actually think that everything would be all amazing with me. You'd think I'd have made friends and would have seen more of the city that's known to be beautiful. But the truth was the opposite.

I had no friends, I was very antisocial, I had no idea how to even be and this "team building" party that was set to happen during the week was not good for me. That alone was depressing me already.

According to the email, apparently there were about 32 of us.. Each representing a certain country.. I had no idea that this business was this big. We were all expected to be in this team building thing and we were all going to be officially introduced to each other.

When we arrived at the beginning of the year, we were told that we will be given 3 months to adjust and just fully settle in then we will meet everyone after that has all happened. And now was that time.

I wasn't in the mood, I mean the bosses were amazing but I've met almost everyone and secretly judged them. Worse this other girl named Priscilla who always had her water bottle with her and I found out a bit later that it's actually alcohol. There were just a few others who were.... Let's say "Stuck Up" for me.

So I was okay as friendless as I was.

I video called with Luna and Paris as much as I could. I think they are the most people who kept me from going insane. Luna worse and surprisingly Olivia. We talked way more than I expected. She was just amazing.

When I first arrived here there were some parts where I felt like crying because I missed Tawny and home, but her mostly.. Where I wanted to take my phone and text her, beg her to love me, beg her to come see me because I knew she could afford that and be here within a minute. But I had to think about everything she said to me before we parted. I couldn't put myself in that situation, I couldn't make myself vulnerable to her again...and also with the help of Luna and Olivia, I managed to stick to not texting her. Even though it took everything in me.

Three months later and we haven't talked.

There were moments where I felt like going back home for good because I didn't find anyone interesting to befriends with here... But then again, I wasn't giving anyone a chance to even get close to me. So finding someone closed off was not a way to go.

I got to work on Wednesday and went to the office. I was wearing my most comfortable skinny Jean and sneakers with a hoodie... My glasses were on also. Probably looked like I was high on something but I didn't care. I sat on my chair and did my everyday routine. I looked around and found the alcoholic who was hiding behind a water bottle. The lesbian one I was always scared to look at because I felt like I'd see someone I actually know.. The three loud girls who never really stopped talking including one called Thalia, and that one guy who always complained about everything... Well, they were still the same even today.. Nothing new.

I started working and watched as they talked about tomorrow and how much they were looking forward to whatever the company was planning. I'd internally roll my eyes at them even though they didn't see me.

Later on our supervisor told us to come prepared for tomorrow as we will be introduced to everyone.. More like introduce ourselves to everyone.

I went back to my apartment and started to check my wardrobe for what I'll wear. I didn't know why I even bothered to look good, but it's the least I could do since I've been closed off all this time. Maybe I needed to just get friends and I wouldn't find this place and my routine so boring. I needed someone to break it.

On Thursday I had on a little red cocktail dress that was over my knees and revealing some good places. I then put on black heels.

I pulled my braids up in a bun. And took my black small bag then headed out. I felt good about how I looked. Luna last night made sure she sends me a few videos on how to do my make up...and I have to say that it was on point.

I slowly requested and then headed out to the venue.

When I got there there were people around. I sighed and found a chair in the middle. There were already people here but I didn't bother sitting next to them.

The tables started filling up with people until there was no space left.

"hello Guys.. Thank you so so much for joining us.. As you know me.. I'm Abigail and you have been working with me for a while now.. So this party is to actually get to know each other... Literally.. Know where we all come from and all that. So we will start from here. Just tell us your name, and where you are from.. You will in your own spare time tell each other everything and other details that don't concern us.. But right now, please get to know each other because the next coming projects will include you guys working together."

After Abigail said that I was so bored. I felt like dying. God I hated my life right now.

One girl stood up,"hey guys.. My name is Kerri and I'm from the US..."

The cute and quiet one.

Another one followed, "I'm Aiden and I'm from Spain..."

Gay one.

"I'm Priscilla from Italy.... And you know you gotta drink water to be healthy guys.."

Alcoholic one I thought and whispered to myself, "we all know that's Alcohol in there."

I felt someone knudge me before whispering, "oh my God you have noticed that.. I thought it was only me who saw it."

I laughed feeling embarrassed and not wanting to turn to whoever spoke, "umh yeah it's so obvious that is not water.."

I could still feel her eyes on me, "hey... I'm Zaynab..."

"I'm Amora.."

"Amora...as in love? Are you French?" I could feel that she was smiling from how she spoke.

The way she talked and said my name kinda made me feel some typa way. It made me to actually turn and look at her. God. It was this other 'lesbian chick' I used to see in the kitchen. She was white, had this cute boy cut that made her look sexy as fuck...and It stupidly made me think about Olivia, she looked like her. God she was pretty.. Really pretty I kinda regretted being scared of looking at her before.

She smiled and bit her lower lip before asking again, "so... are you french..Amora..? "

I smiled, God the way she said my name,"umh... No.. I am actually South African.."

She ached her brow seeming a bit surprised and then she stood up, "I'm Zaynab... From the UK..."

I got up, "I'm Amora from South Africa.."

And the rest introduced themselves.

"South Africa.. Really? You don't have the accent.."

"South Africa has an accent?"

She laughed, "Priscilla is Asian and from Italy, so anything is possible.."

We laughed and she squeezed my knee. Her hands were so soft. God my mind was acting really weird towards this girl.

We stood up and started middling with others. As I poured myself a glass of wine. Zaynab would whisper something to me and I'd also do the same.

It was funny, I felt like I now had a buddy I could gossip with about what my mind has been thinking...but then again I didn't take her as a buddy. There was just something about her that I couldn't put my head around. And I was enjoying the fact that she seemed to enjoy being around me.

I smiled looking at this other girl," I thought she was stuck up.. God she talks a lot.. I really misjudged people here."

That had Zaynab laughing at me, "well I actually thought you were stuck up... And I misjudged you too. So you not the only one."

I took a sip on the wine glass I was holding and pushed her off playfully, "I am so not stuck up.."

She held my waist and went backwards with me when I pushed her, she then bought her face closer to mine, and for a second I thought she was going to kiss me. I breathed out a bit when I heard her whisper on my neck, "yeah.. I see that now, you are not only pretty.. You are also nice."

I hummed on her chest and giggled a bit. Okay maybe this wine was starting to kick in.. And I was getting a bit horny.  Worse because she was touchy with me... And for some reason I didn't mind that.

I was starting to feel a bit hot.. And that was just so weird.

We ended up swaying to the music that was playing until I decided that I couldn't take this anymore. Her hand on my waist and her breath on my neck and ear were just sending me to heaven. They made me imagine things I couldn't even think off.

I cleared my throat and whispered, "wanna get out of here... These heels are killing me.."

She laughed, "they suit you though.. But yeah let's get out of here, I'm starting to feel a bit drunk.."

We looked around for Abigail and she held my hand when we didn't see her and dragged me out.

She hailed a taxi and looked at me, I was shivering a bit. She took off her jacket and put it around my shoulders. Such a gentlewoman.

The taxi stopped and she opened the door for me and signaled for me to go in. I did and she followed.

She said something to the driver but I was staring back at her lips, the same way I was looking at them when she was talking in there.

She laughed taking me away from my thoughts and I smiled, God I felt like kissing her.. Her lips looked so soft.

She bit them a bit before asking, "are you okay?"

Without even over thinking this and stopping myself, I nodded my head and pulled her head towards mine and our lips met.

God they were soft.

She kissed me back and her right hand went straight to my thigh making me sigh and feel those goosebumps again.

She pulled away and looked at me, "you good?"

I nodded my head, "yeah... I'm great.."

The taxi came to a stop and she took out cash and gave the driver then got out. We went inside these other flats and I noticed that it actually didn't take long.

"you stay closer to work?"

She nodded her head, "I do.. Only one apartment was left here so I got it. You guys got the ones that are a bit far.."

She spoke to the security guy and we went up the stairs... I was slowly replaying how soft her touch felt when on my thigh back in the taxi there.. I wanted her to do more... Strangely I wanted her to do way more than touch me.

She opened her room and we got inside. She closed the door and locked it then turned to look at me, "need something to drink..?"

I smirked at her and pulled her by her shirt, "I want you.." then I connected our lips quickly. She smiled in the kiss and moaned before pushing me backwards until I hit the back of the couch.

I unbuttoned her shirt and pulled it off then threw it on the ground. She slowly unzipped my dress at the back while she sucked on my neck. I sighed and grabbed the hem of her trousers and started unfastening her belt.

She sucked on my chest and I knew that she was going make a hickey there but it felt so good I didn't stop her. I just pushed her pants down to her thighs.

She pulled away and lifted my dress up, pulling it over my head then she pushed me against the couch and grinded her woman wood on mine. 

She picked me up and put me on the wing of the couch while I had my legs around her waist. She then slowly took off her pants. I smiled at her and sighed, "take off your sports bra too.."

She did and now she was left on her undies. She had amazing small boobs. I cupped her boobs with my hands and smiled. She kissed my hand and then went up to my arm then up to my shoulder. She bit me a little making me gasp. Then she unhooked my bra and took it off.

God I was soo glad I decided to put an effort today and wear a matching bra and pantie. She groaned and sucked on my neck before whispering, "you are so sexy..."

I smiled thinking she didn't see herself..

She slowly went to my chest and pleasured both my nipples making me go crazy. I pulled her short hair and she bit on my nipple. God! I closed my eyes and a glimpse of Olivia went past my eyes. I shook my head and opened my eyes.

I gasped and let out a tiny moan, "Zaynab..."

She picked me up and the laid me well on her couch then climbed on top of me. She looked at me and smiled. She was really cute.

I asked, "what's wrong?"

"I'm glad you still remember my name.."

I laughed, "I'm not that wasted Zaynab. Now please... fuck me.."

She laughed before connecting our lips and slowly grinding on me. She then moved her hand in between our bodies and then started rubbing on my clit right over my panties. I sighed and grinded up against her hand. I wanted her.. She smelled so good and she was so sexy and she spoke so fucken sexily.  I wanted her inside me.

She kissed her way down on me.. Bitting me me a little bit. My mind went crazy when I felt her breath on top of my panties, I Could feel how hot her breath was and right then I just wanted to feel her.

She grabbed the sides of my undies and then pulled them off. Before I could say a word I felt her soft lips on mine and I slowly groaned.

She giggled a bit and started playing with her tongue on my clit making me to pull what was left of her hair and grind up against her.

"right there..." I moaned.

Maybe this wasn't going to be bad after all.
