Less Than Perfect - Part 6

Mark motioned towards Adele and whispered to her that he had always been curious as to how it felt to hold a gal's breast in his hand. He wanted her to make his wish come true. Adele was flabbergasted by his request and was too astounded to respond. While she was still in a state of shock, Mark's hands were already busy unbuttoning her school blouse. Just as Mark proceeded to undo her bra, she came to her senses and pushed him away. She said that she didn't feel comfortable baring her chest in front of a guy. Mark reminded her that he was not just any guy, he was someone very special to her. Adele hesitated but when she saw Mark's pleading eyes, she became soft. She lifted her bra to reveal a pair of well developed D-cup breasts. Upon seeing them, Mark's eyes popped out their sockets like those of a goldfish while Adele felt a burning sensation on her face. Just as she gestured to cover her bosom, Mark made another request. He wanted to take a few shots of her 'asset' so that he could 'own' them and to admire them as and when he wanted to. Adele wasn't sure if that was a good idea but after Mark assured her that it was strictly for his eyes only, she agreed. As soon as the photos were taken, Adele's handphone rang. It was her mother asking for her whereabouts. She lied that she was at a classmate's and was about to leave for home. Mark seemed disappointed that Adele had to leave at that moment but was 'gentleman' enough to help her button up and sent her home.

Adele didn't tell anyone, including Jana, what had happened at Mark's house as her face would turn red like tomato just thinking about it. Though embarrassed, she felt good thinking that Mark had really fallen for her. She was in high spirit and looked forwards to seeing him again. Mark did call to arrange for another meeting but when she heard what he had to tell her, she was devastated. He demanded that Adele pay him to keep her 'revealing photos' from becoming public. Adele couldn't believe what she had heard and thought that Mark was just pulling her legs. But when he said that nobody would ever fall in love with a fatso like her, she knew that she had been duped.

All the while, Adele had thought that Mark was a changed person. He had indeed changed but it was a change from bad to worse. After quitting school, he did become a salesman, not selling handphone accessories but peddling pirated and X-rated VCDs. However, his main source of income was from naive, unattached and unattractive gals like Adele. Making use of his pretty face and flair for gals, he would befriend them to gain their love and eventually made them undress for him to allow him to capture their unique bodily organs for which he would use to demand for ransom later. Adele was his lastest victim. On that fateful day, Mark had actually spotted Adele at the plaza prior to the collision with her. He had recognised her as the gal from school who had a crush on him, making her an even easier target. Thus he staged the 'clash' with her followed by the chain of events to win her heart.

Though Mark was only asking for $200, it wouldn't be easy for Adele to raise that kind of money on her own. She thought of withdrawing that amount from her savings account but how was she to explain to her parents if they were to find out. However, she decided to take the risk as she was sure that Mark would do what he had threatened to if he didn't get the money. They arranged to meet at their usual place the next day. She had mixed feelings about seeing him again, she didn't know if she should forgive him or hate him. When they finally met up again, Mark's attitude towards her was a total reversal of how he used to treat her. Saddened that his love for her was all but an act, she handed him the money, not hoping to see him again. However, it was not to be. Before parting, Mark told her to meet him at the same place, at the same time, the following week with the same amount money. It seemed that the payment was to be made on a weekly basis.

Adele stood rooted to the ground while gazing at the diminishing figure of Mark. She couldn't believe what her crush for Mark had got her in return. She was ........................................................
