The Company

Chapter 9

Natalia came out of her building looking at her watch which indicated it was 1am; she sighed as she looked up towards the street and saw a black Cadillac arriving at her entrance. The driver stepped out and opened the back door of the car gesturing for Natalia to go in.  As she stepped in the car and started moving, her mind was flooded with thoughts on how to end this dangerous affair. She thought on how to speak to Elena and be on good terms with her so it would not affect her job or the case. A couple of minutes passed and they were entering Elena's property but what caught Natalia's attention three black limousines leaving her estate, she quickly took out a pen and pad and started writing down their license plates so she can verify when she was alone. The car came to a stop in front of Elena's house entrance and soon the driver opened her door.

"This way Miss." the driver said.

Natalia walked up the stairs towards the entrance of the mansion, but when she was about to knock, the door opened and the butler she once saw gestured for her to enter. He started to go up the stairs assuming that Natalia was following but he looked over his shoulder he noticed that Natalia was still at the beginning of the stairs.

"Ms. Chester indicated that she would like for you to wait in one of the guest rooms, so please follow me" Butler said.

"I apologize but can you tell Ms. Chester that I would prefer to wait for her downstairs in her study or living room, some where that is not a guest room" Natalia said.

"As you wish please follow me" he said.

He started to walk down a hall in the first floor and opened a door towards the left and looked like an office, there was a huge wooden desk with three computer screens and towards the other side of the office a huge shelf with business books and a soft black leather sofa. The butler gestured for her to enter and she walked in and sat on the sofa. The butler left the room closing the door. 

About fifteen minutes later the door opened and in came Elena walking in graciously and confidently. She passed by Natalia not even looking at her. Arriving towards the office window and started to look through it and sighed. Natalia took a moment to observe her, she was wearing a wine color silk robe reaching her ankles leaving to her imagination what was underneath and looked at her hair that was up in a messy bun and no makeup she looked breath taking.

"I was told by my butler that you didn't want to wait in one of my guest rooms. Why?" Elena said coldly.

"I don't understand why I would have to wait in a room for you" Natalia said sighing.

"You don't understand? I would think that you would be intelligent enough to figure out that I want to f**k you" Elena said bluntly.

Natalia's head was buzzing with different kinds of thoughts, one: how hot it sounded to hear that she wanted to have s*x with her and too: the nerve of this woman assuming that she would just f**k her and it made her feel dirty like if the way Elena saw her was just a piece of meat, to satisfy her lust. That to Natalia was unacceptable.

"Excuse me.."Natalia said and was cut off by Elena.

"Well that's all we have been doing and that is what I want at this moment. Don't act like you don't crave it either" Elena said glaring at Natalia.

Elena walked towards Natalia as she stepped back and was stopped by Elena's desk. Elena stood in front of Natalia in her personal space and observed Natalia's eyes looking for desire and lust but all she saw was confusion and sadness laced with anger. She leaned in towards Natalia as to kiss her but rapidly grabbed her waist and turned her around and bend Natalia over her desk, spread her legs with Elena's leg and bend over Natalia pinning her hands with her own on the desk and began kissing her right shoulder reaching her neck and started to lick and bite and then suck, then moved slowly licking towards Natalia's earlobe breathed in it. Elena moved her right hand from Natalia's and Elena's left hand pinned both of Natalia's hand again. Elena's free hand started to caress Natalia's abdomen and slowly lowered her hand till reaching the button of Natalia's jeans and opened it and lowered her zipper and then her hand went further down and felt her underwear. She slid her hand in and was happy to feel the Natalia was so wet for her.

"mmmm you are soaking wet for me, I knew you craved my touch" Elena said satisfied.

Natalia moaned as she felt Elena enter her with one finger but stopped her hand and turned around to face Elena leaned in towards her to kiss her as she gave up all hope to stop Elena at this moment, she did crave her and it was evident. But at that exact moment Elena backed away avoiding her kiss and turned her around again to face the desk. Natalia felt hurt, confused and even more used at her denial and backed away from the desk and from Elena's touch.

"What's wrong with you?" Natalia said while walking away from Elena.

"What do you mean, I'm here to f**k and is what I want to do, I don't kiss" Elena said.

"You don't kiss? We have kissed plenty of times" Natalia said frustrated.

"That was a mistake from my part, I don't kiss when engaging in s*x, it shows emotions and feelings. Two things that I don't do." Elena said coldly.

"What? One of the reasons why I'm attracted to you is because of the feelings you show me when you kiss me. You make me feel wanted." Natalia said hurting.

"Well I apologize for that, it was not my intention, and I don't do kissing, feelings or relationships. I just like to have s*x. If you don't like that I suggest you leave, I will have my driver take you back home." Elena said nonchalantly.

As Elena finished that sentenced, Natalia felt used, she also felt an ache in her chest from the treatment she was receiving from Elena. Then her hurtful state changed and her anger arose and looked at Elena straight in the eyes and saw no emotion, just a cold void, emptiness. She felt pity and sadness for her but was replaced with her anger remembering how Elena was treating her.

"Don't bother I'll find my way home without your help" Natalia said.

Natalia started to button up her jeans and started to walk towards the door.

"You must be out your mind to leave on your own, you don't live in this area I know" Elena said smugly.

"It is obvious that you don't give a s**t, so let me be and don't bother looking for more s*x my way I don't want it with someone like you. Never in my life have I ever felt so used like you made me feel and is sad that is all you look for in s*x, you are missing out." Natalia said as she left the office.

Natalia started to walk down the hallways of the mansion and as soon as she reached the door to open, the butler came to her view.

"Miss the driver is waiting outside" the butler said.

"Don't bother just open the gate when I'm near so I can leave here" Natalia said and walked out of the mansion.

Natalia started to walk down the road to leave the estate and her mind was consumed with what just happened. She could not believe how Elena acted towards her and treated her. She felt hurt, confused, used and most of all sad. But out of a bad situation some good came out and is that it was over with Elena. So now she could concentrate on her case. She kept replaying what just happened and one phrase kept in loop in her mind "I don't kiss". What kind of person does not like kissing? What is wrong with her? She reached the gates of the estates and automatically they opened, she walked pass them and started walking in the deserted street and took her phone out and dialed information.

"411 how may I help you?" Operator said.

"Please connect me to a cab company" Natalia said.

"Mass Cab Company how may I help you?" Woman said.

About 10 minutes later a cab showed up in front of Natalia who was sitting on the curb of Elena's estate, she got in and the cab drove off.

Elena was sitting on her desk and her fist slammed her desk. She was furious on how the night turned out. All she wanted was to control and make Natalia hers and none was done. She also felt guilty on how she treated the programmer, she saw Natalia change. The way she viewed her, different even disgusted at one point. Her body language and her eyes that looked at Elena with kindness, tenderness, desire all changed in one minute. A soft knock was heard on the door.

"Come in" Elena said.

"Ms. Chester the young lady didn't leave with the driver she left walking out of the estate." Butler said.

"What? How the hell will she get home?" Elena said furious.

"I don't know" Butler said.

"That will be all Albert" Elena said frustrated.

"Yes Miss." Albert said and left the office.

"She is a stubborn one, arrgghh" Elena said to herself.

Elena smiled to herself realizing that it is one of the qualities that she loves about the programmer.

Natalia gave the address to the cab driver and about twenty five minutes later the driver pulled up to a familiar driveway to her. She paid the cab driver as he left, she just remained outside her childhood house, frozen just staring at it. She looked at the driveway and flashbacks came back of how she just left Michelle the last time she was there. Natalia didn't know why she ended up at her old house, she swore to herself not to come back. Just being here reminded her of all she lost. But after the encounter with Elena she wanted to get away from her, the case, Ramos; Natalia just wanted to be by herself and she knew nobody would know where to find her here. She sighed and took out a key from her wallet that she always had hidden. She entered her house and locked it; she flipped the light on and was shocked there was light. What Natalia didn't notice that at the entrance was an alarm pad blinking.

Natalia walked in her living room and the furniture was covered in sheets and the house was clean, no dirt or dust nothing. She was confused to why everything was taken care off, she had not been in this house in years. She left the living room and entered the kitchen and the same, everything was clean. She opened the cupboard and saw there were canned foods and coffee, she reached for the coffee, and sat down at the kitchen island. She looked at her cell phone and notice it was 4:30am, she decided she wasn't going to get any sleep so she texted Ramos that she was on some personal business and that was not going to work today. She didn't worry on being absent from work, since she has been an exceptional employee. Natalia decided to call Mr. West and excuse herself saying she wasn't feeling well. Mr. West half asleep thanked for calling. Natalia was still curious to why the house was so clean and up to date but decided to ignore her thoughts and started to make coffee. 

After a couple of minutes that passed she was sitting on the island again this time drinking coffee, when suddenly she heard the door open and close and a couple of beeping noises. She got up and headed to the door and was surprised to see a certain Latina cursing at the alarm pad that she didn't notice upon entering.

"Michelle?" Natalia said.

The Latina jumped with a little scream and turned around to face Natalia.

"s**t!! You f*****g scared me" Michelle said, with her hand on her chest.

"What are you doing here?" Natalia said.
