Chapter 7

2481 Words
Marcus I walk into my house and I feel guilty. I shouldn't because Alice is just my assistant nothing more. The woman at the club was just a just a way to blow off some pent up aggression. No probably wasn't the best idea but that reminds me to throw away my condom in my pocket. Being who I am I can't take any chances of who I get pregnant. The woman that I finally decide to have my heirs with will have to be able to handle my line of work and be a cautious as I am with who has access to my children. Honestly most days I don't think I will ever even have children. I have yet to find a woman worth keeping around for more then a one time experience. I head to my office to finish a couple things I left to do from earlier. I walk over to my liquor cabinet and pour myself a big glass of whiskey. Already knowing what needs to be dealt with I take a big drink from my glass and feel the burn down my throat. Sitting in my chair behind my big mahogany desk I feel the smooth wood under my hands. The paperwork I left on my desk was the autopsy results from Alice's mom. She died three days ago and I didn't have the heart to tell Alice but I've also kept the police from calling her. As of now it is just a dead Jane Doe because she had no identification on her body. She was found naked in an alley, recently had s*x no idea of it was consensual or r**e, was strangled and also he tox screen showed she was high as a kite when she died. I don't want to tell Alice yet because I don't know how she would react and at the moment I had a lot to focus on with the shipment and just hiring Alice I had to make sure she wasn't an undercover agent for law enforcement. But now that, that is handled besides asking Oscar if he knew about being one crate short. In the morning I will tell Alice about her mom and I will let her take some time to grieve and handle the affairs that she needs to. I've already paid for the costs of having her body being handled however Alice wants to deal with it. This is alot to deal with for one employee but somehow Alice just pulls me in. Maybe it's how hard she has had to work just to get to eighteen. How she handles curveballs and just keeps going forward. She's strong and willing, she is putting her future above what her body wants. She's made it clear she wants to work for me. I send Oscar a text telling him I need to talk to him. I know it's one in the morning but he's should still be awake. His wife just had their first baby. Granted not his first baby because there are two women with children that I keep my eye on and under my protection because they are his bastard children from not being careful. He sends them money and takes care of them. Neither woman or child wants for anything but also grow up without a father because it's been made clear if another man steps in his money will stop. Oscar texts back saying he will call in fifteen minutes. I look through the manifest from the trucks just to check and see where they stoppedit shows no additional stops were made besides when the drivers had to stop because of DOT standards in hours. Oscar calls and the conversation started off "So it seems that we're one crate short of what is on the manifest. Was one just not loaded or did someone take it out the truck?" "Honestly I don't know. It may have not got loaded or it might have been taken off. Maybe we just let this go and just put it as a write off. But if I keeps happening we will find out what happens." He says to me. "Okay well if the big bosses ask questions you're answering them not me Oscar." He just hangs up. That call didn't make me feel any better something definitely isn't right. It's getting late and I'm tired. It's been a long day then also the club and what I did there isn't lost on me. If Alice found out will she even care? Probably not since we aren't anything. Leaving my office I head to the kitchen to grab a snack. Maria is up and in the kitchen she jumps not expecting anyone to be awake and was asking around at this hour. "Hey it's okay I just came to get a snack and a water then I'll be gone." I make a peanut butter sandwich and grab a water and head upstairs. Weird I wonder why she awake at this hour. Then I shake my head because the only thing that comes to mind is her and Mario having s*x. I shake my head again. As I'm walking past Alice's door I hear some moaning and whimpering. I open the door hoping she is asleep. She's definitely asleep but she is sweating and thrashing around like she's having a nightmare. I go to her side and shake her to wake her up but he struggles then pushes me away. Her eyes fly open, "What the heck are you doing in her Marcus?" say asks. "You were having a nightmare and I just so happened to be walking by your room. I could have left you alone but I thought you would want to be woken up." I say back kind of agitated. "Well thank you but I'm not wearing any clothes and I'd like it if you left my room." I hadn't even noticed her lack of clothes. "Have it your way. I'll go but if I do I won't be coming back tonight no matter how you and me." I say with a wink. I walk to my bedroom and open the door and take a deep breath. I continue walking until I'm in the bathroom, turning on the shower. I take all of my clothes off with a sigh about Alice and her being rude. I could have left her to be tormented all night by whatever her nightmare was about. Deciding to let it go I climb in my shower and the six shower heads spray at my body from different directions. My muscles start to relax. I was all nice and relaxed until I got home and look now my body is tense and wrapped tight like a could spring. One day I will be able to relax but that will probably be the day I die. I start washing my body just to get the days worries off my body. I really should have went to the gym instead of the club tonight but it's whatever. Alice isn't count to give me what I need so someone else was going to have to. But as soon as I think of Alice all the blood from my body goes straight to my c**k. Jesus this is starting to get irritating. I've already c*m twice today but apparently I need a third. Using some soap I start stroking him, I alternate a tight grip and a lighter grip. It helps mimic a woman's body. God the way Alice looked woken up from a nightmare even upset she was sexy and her body was flushed and from what I seen her skin is so smooth. I should have touched her more. I could see the tops of her breasts and a peek of a n****e before she moved the sheet up. I imagine rubbing my d**k invertebrates those soft full t**s. I'm almost there, as I'm f*****g them Alice wraps her mouth around the tip and sucks. That's all it took before my c*m hits the floor and my hand. Instant relaxation hits my body. Alice may be my peace if only we would allow it to happen. Alice Marcus walking me up scared me but not as much as the nightmare I was having. I was back in my grungy apartment with my mom and one of the men she brought home was holding me down while another man was touching me and pulling my clothes off. Thankfully Marcus woke me up when he did because God only knows what would happen next. One time when I was younger one of the men my mom brought home was touching me when the landlord showed up to kick us out. He stopped the man and threw him out and checked in me while my mom was passed out from her high. Some of the memories from growing up are so painful. I've never shared any of that stuff with anyone. Jake asked before when he had to wake me up from a nightmare, but I refused to tell him. I don't want other peoples pity. Marcus seemed genuinely concerned for me though. I know he added the joke at the end to make forget what was going on. But I really wish he wouldn't joke because I would probably cross that invisible line of being his employee. Since starting in Marcus' house this is the first nightmare I've had in the week I've been here. Which before it was every time I was able to sleep deep enough. But I've been high alert even while sleeping since I was ten years old. It was either my mom's men, the police, or the landlords coming and knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Marcus almost seen me naked though. The sheet has slid down my body during my nightmare I'm sure. Apart of me wanted him to see me naked but then again I was shy. What if he didn't find me attractive or found me lacking. I have some curves to my body but not alot, but since eating here I've noticed I've put on some weight and filling out my clothes more. I felt comfortable enough to sleep naked tonight for the first time ever and then Marcus ended up in here. Thinking I may sleep this way from now on it felt more freeing this way. I close my eyes again to try and go back to sleep. It doesn't take long for sleep to come back to me. My alarm is going off and I groan. It's to early for this already, I was able to go back to sleep for a couple hours but I didn't get enough sleep. Before I can even get up Marcus is knocking at my door and opening it at the same time. Jesus this man has no boundaries. "Good morning Alice. I know we should be getting ready for work but I have some news for you and it's not good." Oh god he's firing me I think to myself. "Okay what's up?" I say with a frown. He sits down next to me on the bed and says "I'm sorry to have to tell you this but the police found your mom. She was found in an alley naked and strangled. They don't have any leads yet but said they would start searching harder." I don't even know what to say, I'm completely gobsmacked by what he just said to me. There's no way mom is dead, she was a terrible parent and a drug addiction but she was still my mom. Tears start rolling down my cheeks and Marcus leans over to offer a hug and I just climb out of bed and head for the bathroom. I make it in and slam the door shut before I remember I'm naked and he's just seen all of me week almost all of me. I just stand there looking in the mirror for what feels like forever before there is a soft knock on the door. I already know it isn't Marcus he's probably already left my room. I open it slightly and it's Maria. She's holding a robe for me to put on, I take it and put it on. Opening the door I sees she's brought me some food which on any other day would be a amazing but today nothing sounds good and I don't even feel hungry. To be honest I don't really feel anything at the moment. For the first time since I left for interview I call Jake. He's the only person who will understand what is going on with me. He is the only person who has known me and how I handle things. Jake answers the phone kind of sleepy. "She's dead. My mom is dead they found her strangled in an abandoned alley. She was alone and high. What am I going to do? Now I have no one, now I'm alone by myself." I cry into the phone. "Alice, honey calm down. Your not alone and you've never been alone. My family and I have always been there. Your my best friend and I will help in whatever way I can." He says calmly. "I know but I always had her even though she wasn't a parent to me because of her own struggles she was still my mom. Now I'm all alone living in my bosses house and have no idea how I'm going to pay for the funeral." I tell him. "Honey we will figure up the cost of everything and get it handled. Wait did you say your living with your boss? Who is your boss? And why are you living there? Is this why I haven't seen you?" Jake asks. I explain to Jake the best I can about Marcus and what my job entails but nothing that is compromising Marcus. Jake asks if I will come see him and I tell him I will soon. We sit in silence for a long while before we say good bye. I just sit in my room and stare at the wall and cry. I'm crying for the kids off a parent who I hoped would get sober. Whatever caused my mom to go down hill she fought my while life with. I didn't ever meet my dad or grandparents. Mom wasn't ever sober long enough to tell who they were or what they were like. I wish I had someone to grieve with it would make this whole thing more bearable. At some point I must have fallen asleep because Marcus is in here waking me up. "Hey beautiful I just wanted to check on you. I see you haven't eaten, are you hungry? We can get whatever you want." he says with a small smile.
