E - Envelope

She was waiting patiently for a surprise gift he has promised her. Her eyes always waited for his smile even if it was from across the screen. She loved his mysterious look, lifestyle and personality. Whenever he chatted, he always showed concern and was very friendly.

He had charismatic aura. He knew so many celeberities.
"He might help me become an actress as I had aspired" she thought. " I must learn the dressing sense and poses he suggested for my portfolio."

The other day while she was riding on her cycle returning from her school, suddenly he came out of nowhere right in front of her. Startling her.  Amusing her.  Teasing her. He was so cool. He told her how much he loved to see her everyday sitting on her windowsill reading that book.

Oh! Only if she could tell him she sat there only for him. To get a glimpse of him.

It was a beautiful summer afternoon. She was extremly happy for no particular reason. Mail van had something for her that day. She received a big scented sparkling blue envelope in her mail box. She was super excited to know what was inside it.  It was quite strange to see the address written in hand but seems like written by someone who is not in his senses. The writing is all crawly and creepy in a way but anyways the envelope smelled divine. How thankful she is to Lord today, that Mom has yet not returned from work and dad was out of town, so now she has all the time for herself to explore the contents of that mysterious envelope.

She grabbed it and slammed the door in haste and rushed to her room. She shrieked with joy and jumped on her bed. Quickly without wasting any more time she opened her envelope.

Wait a minute? What was all that inside? She could not understand any of it. It had a tape said ‘COPY’ she lifted it with trembling hands and inserted in her recorder. With the images on the screen her mind got blank, she started shivering and her nerves started collapsing, she was short of breath. She could not believe at all whatever the screen was showing her.

It had pictures of her changing, bathing, nude pictures which she was sure, she never clicked. "Oh! No! Now I remember this pose. I had shown him the other day while chatting on internet. But how come it is NUDE now??" She wondered.

The tape ended with a note
“MEET ME TONITE OR ELSE........"

Immediately her computer screen beeped telling her she had a new message. With trembling hands she clicked it open. It was from him. It read...
"Hello Beautiful.. I have many more pictures of you attached with this mail too. I hope tonight you are meeting me at the address given below.
And I must tell you. I know that you will not disappoint me. AND if you do so than these pictures will be uploaded on internet first thing in the morning."

She cried hard of being so foolishly in love with a person she hardly knew, sending him her pictures and letting him click Online.
