Obsessive

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Brenda got out of the taxi still feeling the dreadful incident at the club. She was so stupid thinking she could get a job as a waitress at a club. She shouldn't have listened to Sabrina when she showed her the news about a vacant spot in the club.

Apparently what drew her mostly was the huge sum to be payed. It was an elite and standard club and only served the most expensive drinks from around the world. She was hesitant at first but after walking down the hall in the evening, she heard Mrs Melrose making a phone call to someone and asking for money for her husband's bail. She saw how Mrs Melrose pleaded with the unknown person over the phone. It was obvious the person she was talking to wasn't willing to lend her the money.

Somehow Brenda blamed herself after Mrs Melrose's accusations echoed in her brain. She felt responsible for Mr Matteo not being able to sleep comfortably at home but in jail. She decided to give the job over at the club a try. Hopefully they would hire her there.

She was hopeful at first but after encountering that man who grabbed her and pressed his body against hers really made her reverse from opting for the job. A man's touch on her body always made her feel disgusted. She hated it when men would look at her and eyeing her body. Sometimes she wished she didn't have thick curves like she did as she didn't want to be the center of attention around the men.

She hugged herself and felt a bit of shivers despite her body being covered by her hoodie. She called for Sabrina to open the backdoor for her. Mrs Melrose was unaware of her visit to the club late at night. If anyone found out, the child services could take away their license to take in foster kids.

"You're back so early? Didn't you get the job?" Sabrina asked her the moment they both got into their room. Yesenia was fast asleep after crying her eyes out waiting for Mr Matteo to return home. Brenda knew it was only part of the reason, they were a bit worried about being alone with Mrs Melrose. She hated them and was only tolerating the kids for money given to her and her husband by the government.

"Remind me never to listen to your dumb ideas ever again." Brenda took off her sneakers and pounced on her bed. "Did something happen?" Sabrina asked from above on her upper side of the bunk bed. Brenda didn't respond and hugged herself tightly. The image of that man at the club stilled in her memories. It refused to leave her. She was raging inside wondering the audacity of him to rub his hardness against her body. She shut her eyes not wanting to think about it and realized she had a mistake in going to the club.

"So why do we come up with a solution to free dad from jail Brenda?" Sabrina asked and her voice came out low and troubled. Brenda peeked her face out and looked up to meet Sabrina's worried face. "What's wrong?" She asked. "I...i don't know but if dad's not home then...Mrs Melrose is going to take out all her anger on us and blame us for everything." She paused and turned her neck to face Yesenia. Yesenia had a tiny bed at the corner. It was small and could only fit a person of small size like her. "Am worried about Yesenia..and James."

Brenda sighed not knowing what to do. She knew she wasn't going to get any sleep tonight without thinking of a way to help get money for Mr Matteo's bail. On a normal day, she would have asked Emmy or Ria for help but after overhearing what her so called friends actually thought about her, she didn't bother. It was just a reminder that her life was lonely. She had no one except the people in her foster home. Particularly Mr Matteo.

She smiled recalling him. He was the best father to her and the other kids. He never once acted like a foster dad but behaved and loved them all like they were his. Mr Matteo and Mrs Melrose had no children of their own. Mrs Melrose hated kids but then she agreed with her husband in fostering orphan kids and having support from the government.

Brenda saw him as her real father. Her own father was an asshole who mistreated her mother. She was born into an abusive home. Her father and mother had moved to the states from India before they had her. Little did she and her mother know that coming to the states was all planned out by her evil and caniving father. He was a devil who frequently abused her mother and tortured her physically and mentally. Her mother almost ran insane at one point until she discovered the truth of why he brought she and her unborn daughter at the time over to the states.

The dreadful memories always haunted Brenda and often had tears wetting her cheeks but she was glad to be out of that hell hole. Her mother had sacrificed her life to save her own life. To save her from her father who wanted to capture and take her away. She remembered running in fear after seeing her mother die before her eyes. She was stabbed brutally by her abusive father because she got in the way of his deal in taking Brenda away. It was then when she believed she was doomed and all hope was lost did her miracle angel arrived.

She was just twelve years old and as she ran, she stumbled and a bright light almost blinded her. She covered her line of sight with her hands and then heard the noise of a car. She saw three men walking out of the car. They were all drunk and were staggering walking close to her. She was scared. Scared and alone and looked back hoping her father won't catch her. She was smart to know the men in front of her didn't have good intentions.

She tried dashing into the opposite direction when her arm got pulled back and a large hand reached for her dirty clothes and tore her sleeve. The little girl screamed and found those men nibbling their tongue on her neck. She cried harder and harder until she heard a man's stern voice. It was then he arrived. Mr Matteo arrived and was in front of her. Her guardian angel as she liked to call him. Sometimes she believed her late mother sent him to protect her.

‍​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌Sabrina had retired to bed a while ago but Brenda's eyes were far from catching unto sleep. She was worried. Her dad was in jail for something she knew he wasn't capable of doing so how was she supposed to sleep peacefully when she knew her dad wouldn't be getting rest over there. She then thought of something. She smiled a little but also nervous of what she was thinking. She hoped it would pull through as she had no other options at the moment and didn't want Matteo sitting in a jail cell for another night.

"Ah! Ah! P...please be..be gentle,..."

"Shut the f**k up!" Jason seethed out while pounding hard into the blonde's ass. Jason was still angry and since he got back from the club, only that girl's face and how she slapped him was all he could think of. He felt so insulted and wasn't going to back off until she payed dearly.

He was raging and had sent one of his drivers to get the stripper blonde from the club. He wanted to ease his rage a little bit or he was going to explode. As expected, the blonde was happy and excited to be grinding a dashing man like Jason Siller.

Jason didn't waste anytime with her by chitchatting or pouring her a drink. He got right into business and why she was here. To be a f*****g w***e for him.

He tore her tight dress that barely covered her ass and took off his T-shirt revealing his toned body and showing how much he worked out. He slided his sweatpants midway to his knees as well as his white boxers. The woman was giggling and excited while Jason was fuming with anger for being insulted by a girl. A girl that he was sure wasn't even up to 21 years.

The woman laid on her back and spread her legs giggling in front of him. "That's not how I f**k w****s like you. Turn around." He ordered. The woman blinked and a confused look adorned her features.

Not wasting any time, Jason spun her around and made her position herself on her fours. He pushed her ass close to him and it was only then the woman noticed what he meant by his words. "Am ready," She said and kept her teeth out in display showing hoe horny she was. She pushed her ass forward and gasped as soon as Jason slapped her butt cheeks. He tore a condom and he pounded deep into her ass in one go making the blonde scream out in pain. He was brutal in his thrusts and filled her whole. She felt his thing hard and thick and heavy.

Jason didn't wait for her to get her breathing normal and began pouncing and rummaging into her ass and splitting her hole wide. The woman was enjoying the pleasure at first but then it became painful. Inside her butt was sore and aching her. She felt so heated in there and tried talking Jason to slap down but he didn't. His mind only rested on that little frame. A little girl. He also recalled Daniel mocking him outside the club about a stranger being a girl slapped him across the face. He mocked him for the reason being a girl rejected him. All the women he had been with always fawned over him and wanted to be in his bed.

But that little girl in a cream colored hoodie got his attention. He was furious not because she rejected him but the slap across his face was like a hard slap against his manly ego and he sure was going to make her pay dearly. A simple no would have been fine but she just had to tick him off and put her under his radar.

He f****d the blonde for hours and the woman was already beginning to loose consciousness before he groaned loudly and spilled his whole self into the confides of the condom. The woman was exhausted and Jason sighed feeling a little pity for the woman. It wasn't supposed to be like this as he wanted to have a good time with her but...again the image of that girl popped in his head making him clench his teeth.

He threw the condom into the bin and pulled his boxers and sweatpants up again but kept his sweating chest bare. He grabbed his phone on the table in the living room and dialed for Kevin's number.

Kevin picked up on the second ring. "Hello Mrs Siller."

"Hey Kevin. I want you to be in my office tomorrow morning sharp. No questions asked. I'll see you tomorrow." He hanged up the phone and tossed it towards the couch. He rubbed his temples and swore to get that girl. She had no idea what she had gotten herself into.

With nervous nerves, Brenda walked down the halls that was leading to Desmond's office. She had her breath up to her throat and was thinking if she could do this. But she was willing to try. Her father's freedom depended on it. What could go wrong?

Wiping her sweaty hands on her skirt, she threw the negative things towards the back of her head and inhaled sharply. She passed by his secretary Diana who smiled her way with Brenda returning the smile.

"Is he in a meeting?" Brenda asked as soon as she heard chatterings in Desmond's office. "Yes Brenda. He has a meeting with someone. You can wait for a while, am sure he'll be done." Diana informed her.

Brenda nodded and took a seat next to his office. Something told her to walk back to where she came from but she couldn't move her legs that were glued to the tiles on the floor. Desmond once offered her to come to him if she ever needed anything which she hadn't considered until last night.

She thought of Desmond as her only hope in this situation right now. She had no job and even though she managed to work in a cafe or restaurant, the pay wasn't solid nor enough for Matteo's bail. Desmond's offer came to mind and she believed it was the time she should take up on his offer.

Diana got a call at her desk and she hurriedly picked it up. "Yes sir, she's here,....perfect I'll send her in right away," Diana hanged up and turned to Brenda.

"You can go in now. My boss is calling for you," Brenda blinked her eyes in surprise but got to her feet and inhaled deeply before reaching her hands for the door knob. She turned it around and walked in slightly knocking on the door.

Her eyes met Desmond having a conversation with a man. Desmond was laughing over something the man across his desk said before his eyes trailed to Brenda who still stood by the door waiting for permission to come in.

"Brenda come in," Brenda smiled and walked into his office. She heard Desmond tell the man, "She's the one I told you about. She's really intelligent and has a brain." Brenda smiled and Desmond offered her an empty seat next to the man and across Desmond.

Brenda went towards the empty chair and sat down seemingly lost about what was going on especially why she was needed here.

"She's the girl I talked with you about Mr Kevin." Desmond pointed over to Brenda while Kevin accessed her with a smile on his face. He could tell she was Asian particularly an Indian from her facial features. Brenda for no reason smiled at Kevin while her inner thoughts were battling with what they were discussing about her.

Brenda got out of her thoughts after Kevin cleared his throat. "So tell me Brenda, how old are you?" Kevin asked.

"Am nineteen sir." She replied.

Kevin judged her accent and it was American but she clearly looked like an Indian. A very pretty Indian. "And where are you from?" He continued,

Brenda gave a look towards Desmond who smiled at her and motioned her to speak. Brenda feeling unsure still spoke. She saw his clothing and accent and they spoke very highly of him. He looked elite. Her mind calmed down and she cursed herself inwardly for always mistrusting every man she came across but at the same time couldn't blame herself for it after what she had seen and been through.

"Well...my parents are from India and moved to the states before they gave birth to me so am...American by birth sir." She answered and Kevin smiled affirming his sight. "And my friend here says you're the best in your department, that is in graphics designing?" Kevin raised a brow while Brenda turned again to Desmond who smiled at her proudly.

Brenda caught up with his smile and turned her face back to Kevin with a wide smile and nodded instantly. "Well...am not sure if am the best but am very efficient at my work sir." She spoke and for some odd reason, Kevin liked her personality. She was a professional in her tone of voice but also didn't brag nor show off. She met the perfect criteria for his boss' list of demands in picking a person precisely a female. His boss hated show offs and smart mouths.

"Hmm. I like you Brenda. And Desmond has shown me your skills. You're really talented and my boss would surely like your professionalism." Brenda smiled and tried hiding the shock on her face. She thought Kevin was a boss of his own but now mentioned he had a boss. A person above him who he worked for.

"So what do you say Brenda? Would you like to work for my boss on advertising his project. It was recently launched and the website designs and advertising would need to be perfect and amazing for the world to see and plus the pay is very huge." Kevin told her.

Brenda blinked her eyes in surprise. She was stunned by his sudden proposal and somewhere she believed her mother was bringing her good luck from up there in the heavens. A few minutes ago, she thought of asking Desmond for money inorder to bail out her father which went against her principles and ethics and what she firmly believed on.

She wanted to scream in happiness as she was getting to work for her pay and also be able to help Matteo get out of jail on bail while the case was still ongoing. But then her subconscious rang in her mind halting her happiness.

Have you forgotten that you have no degree to show for in this field?

Brenda paused recalling she wasn't in college yet and only finished high school and opt for this program to earn her online degree instead.

"Is something wrong Brenda?" Kevin asked noticing her hesitant expression on her face. "But...sir I have no degree or any documents to prove useful for the job you're offering me." Her voice came out low with her face saying how much she wanted the job.

Desmond chuckled, "It's fine Brenda. I've already clarified that with Mr Kevin here. And trust me his boss doesn't look at degrees but at one's talents." Brenda sighed in relief and the bright glow on her face came back after Kevin nodded and affirmed Desmond's claims.

"T-thank you so much sir. Am..am very grateful to you for this opportunity." Brenda thanked him and Kevin and Desmond chuckled. "And thank you Brenda for being one with an amazing talent like yours." Kevin got up and extended a hand shake to her to which Brenda received all whole heartedly.

Brenda stepped into her department and got stares from her friends who she thought were but she didn't care. She knew they must be curious about her talk with their boss. Ana was getting worried and wondered if Brenda told on them about their gossiping.

"Hum..Brenda, you...took so long over at Mr Desmond's office. Anything important?" Emmy asked out of nowhere. Brenda continued her typing on her computer in front of her completely ignoring Emmy's questions.

Brenda caught Gladys making eye contact with Emmy and she could tell they were contemplating among themselves whether she had overheard their talk against her yesterday. "Earth to Brenda? Emmy asked you a question girl?" Ria asked and Ana couldn't control herself. "What do you think of yourself nerd?"

"Ana! Geez..." Ria glared at her to keep quiet.

"Oh come on Ria. So what if she knows. It's good she heard our conversation and what we actually think of her." Ana yelled angrily before the whole department fell into silence. Everyone looked everywhere except at Brenda looking guilty.

"Everyone will think weirdly about you. You're so mysterious. No one knows where you go. You don't hang out with us and make lame excuses about always having something to do or can't make it and...in our opinion, it's weird and risky to trust you..."

"Enough!" Brenda slammed her hands on her desk before turning to meet Ana's eyes with a glare. She had enough of her s**t and was at her wits today. She wasn't the one to always give a reply to every insult but Ana had crossed the line today.

She had a lot going on concerning Mr Matteo's arrest and wasn't in the mood to tolerate Ana's rude and sinister remarks. She got up and walked over to Ana looking straight into her eyes as they were of the same height. Ana was the same age as her and often got on her nerves just because Brenda decided to always pay a deaf ear to her rantings and jealousy.

"Enough now Ana. Am not gonna put up with your nasty comments anymore." Brenda replied to her face which caught Ana by surprise but she regained her posture wanting to show Brenda she wasn't intimidated.

Come to think of it, Brenda wasn't going to be working in this department from tomorrow as her new job awaited her. She remembered her meeting with Kevin in Desmond's office. She was still involved in the program but this time she was called for a real work outside her program which meant she was going to get paid. She had a job finally and what made her happy was the fact that she was going to get her father out of jail pretty soon.

"Look at the nerd now. She's finally spread her wings and let her stinger out." Ana mocked but Brenda grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her back making Ana gasp and hiss out in pain. Before Brenda was brought in by Matteo, she learned a few tricks while on the streets and how to stand up and defend herself and an ass like Ana was merely no exception.

"Brenda! Let her go." Emmy stood up from her chair with a shocked face as well as the others.

"Aah! You're hurting me nerd, let go." Ana winced out feeling her fragile arms almost going numb behind her back. "This is the last time you'll ever mess with me again Ana. I don't speak much but that doesn't mean am just stupid because am not." Brenda decided to teach Ana a lesson right now since she wasn't coming here tomorrow and she wasn't going to tell them about her new job either because she believed they didn't deserve to know and share fake happiness with her.

They were bound to know sooner but she didn't care. Today was practically her last day in this department and tomorrow she was off to her new job. She couldn't wait to share the good news with her siblings and Mrs Melrose. But before she left, she wanted to leave an impression on her colleagues about her not being weak in the slightest. After all she slapped a p*****t who tried to have his way with her at a club last night.
