chapter 4| Aspectabund

''Maybe…he didn't yell at me…'' she grips her forearm but kneads it nervously, her eyes directed down to the floor again. Noticing that she's not saying anything more, I take my glasses off and stand up to head towards her with my drink still in my hold, I sit down next to her and stare to make her know I won't let this go. "He never keeps his hands to himself, so if he touched you, you can tell me.''

She turns her head to look at me but only focuses on my hands and forearms. Just by the way she's lookibg, I can see she's scanning my tattoos. ''He…he slapped me but…then grabbed me under my skirt…before going away…''

I sigh from warth but deviate my eyes from her, I can only clench my jaw and not show my anger to her. ''How the **** can he do this…?'' I bite my lips but regret cursing in front of her. I really hate that guy since I first came here, he's a disgusting pervert, macho, sexist who think women are made to be used as sex toys. ''Whenever you see him in the hallways or somewhere else, you get in my office without knocking on the door. Okay?''

She nods but offers ma a little smile to show she's relieved to hear those reassuring words. This is like a little 'thank you' for me, it relieves some of my stress when I see a woman fell safer with me. I feel like I'm doing a good job as a man.

''Do you want a hot chocolate to comfort yourself?'' I grin but move my cup towards her. She ate with the spoon I used yesterday, so I don't think this will make her uncomfortable to drink after me. ''No, it's fine. That's yours.''

''If you wantit, take it,'' I hold the cup where it is, but since she must see I'm a bit stubborn, she takes it and thanks me cutely. ''You can drink everything if you want, I hope it's sweet enough for you,'' I look at her, and she comfirms that the drink is perfect, so I tuck my hands in my pockets and lean back, staying by her side after what happened to her. '' I don't know how you react to this type of incident, but do not let this disturb your mind, alright? He's an asshole and he's going to pay for that. Trust me.''

''If it was just a little touch I would have been okay but…he was a bit violent and…that's the first time it happened to me so…I feel weird…'' she gazes into the cup, her voice sounding way quieter and more sorrowful. The fury inside of me is boiling up so much, I don't know if I'll be able to not beat him up at the end of the day.
