Chapter 10

POV ALISSON COOPER

I was in a lethargic state, I walked down the street leaning against the wall controlling my breathing. I was angry, frustrated, and nervous. He got what he deserved, and my desire was still to go back and end his life, but I controlled myself, wiped my face, and tightened my bag walking back. I stopped near a market and bought some things for home and food for Lupy, and also containers to put water and his food.

After buying I left the market and started walking along the sidewalks towards the bus stop, before approaching, a car stopped next to me, I subtly squeezed the bags in my hands, looked at the glass, and could not see anyone, scared for a moment I thought I was that bastard, I increased my steps to reach the corner, however, the car stopped abruptly and I saw that man get out of the car. Kevin faced me with a provocative smile on his lips, I sighed relieved that it was him, and not that... Man.

"Alone on the streets?" he lifts his wrist and looks at his watch. "I should be home."

I watched him put his hands inside his pockets, he was standing in front of me, assessing me and watching my movements. I stare into those intense and frightening blue eyes, I can't describe the feeling that now runs through my body, but something tells me to stay away from him.

"Are you following me?"

"No... But what are you doing at this hour walking the streets."

"I had to stop by the market."

At that moment I reproached myself for giving him satisfaction of my life, he is nothing of mine.

"That's none of your business, sir."

I tried to continue my fate but his strong thick hands grabbed my arm and pulled me against his body, the bags slipped out of my hands, and Kevin pressed me into a wall and made me look at him directly. His face was close to mine, my breath gasped, I faced his inviting lips and for a moment I did not kiss him, I controlled the inevitable desire, I watched him moisten his lips, and without realizing it I held my breath, returned to the rational state I try to move away, but he squeezed me even more.

"It's my business, more than you know."

My eyes blinked several times, I was trying to understand the attitude of this man, I did not understand this crazy persistence of wanting to order me. Suddenly Kevin released my arms and turned his back on me, he picked up the bags from the floor and approached the vehicle.

"Come on, I'll give you a ride."

"No need, thanks."

I ended up hugging my body as a cold wind blew across my skin, I sighed and ended up getting into the car, soon he closed the door and we pulled into traffic. As I looked out the window I felt his eyes on me, I remained silent until the end of the journey, after I got out of the car and picked up the bags I faced him one last time, I thanked him for his kindness in bringing me home and went up the stairs and through the door.

"You took your time getting here, did something happen?"

Mrs. Bonnie asked as soon as I turned around, she was sitting on the couch with Lupy on top of a cushion, I smiled at her and walked to the kitchen depositing the shopping bags on the counter.

"What happened Alisson?" she asked me again worried.

I walked over to her, sat down next to her, and lifted Lupy off the pillow before resting his head on her lap.

"I've been fired."

We sat in silence for a few minutes, she was probably absorbing the unexpected information.

"And why is that?"

"Well... My boss tried to touch me."

With those words Lady Bonnie stood up from the couch, she looked at me with wide eyes, and her pulse accelerated, for a moment I thought she was going to have a heart attack.

"I can't believe it, how can you say that so quietly?!" she said in a flustered voice. "What's that worm got on its head?"

"Don't worry about it, I hit him."

"A lot or a little?"

"A lot."

"Then it was little, for that sort of thing it was too little for him to pay for what he tried to do."

Suddenly Ms. Bonnie ran into the room and returned with a baseball bat in her hands, I quickly stood up from the couch startled.

"What did you get that for?"

"Get your bag, we're going to beat that bastard up!"

She lunged for the front door, but I quickly stepped in between so she wouldn't do anything crazy,

"Try to calm down..." I try to hold her. "We can't kill him."

"And why not?"

"We'll be arrested."

"I'll go to jail happy."

"Control yourself, please."

She gives up fighting and drops the bat, she pulls me into a strong, welcoming hug.

"Tomorrow go to the authorities and report him!"

"I will, don't worry."

Ms. Bonnie pulled away and deposited a small smile on her lips, minutes later she made her way to her room and locked herself in. I hear a thin, low meow, I stare at my feet and see Lupy looking at me, he must be hungry. I put him in my arms and went to the kitchen, separated his pot and feed, and put him on the floor watching him devour his food. Meanwhile, I went to my room, went into the bathroom got rid of my clothes, took a quick shower, put on a sweater, and went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat.

Sitting in front of the TV my cell phone rang, I hung up the phone and answered the call.

"Hi, baby."

"Baby it's my dick."

"But you don't have it."

"But I could have..."

"How was work today?"

"Bad, I got fired."

"What?" she asked in disbelief "But why?"

"Your boss still tried to touch me."

"What a son of a bitch!"

"That's right..."

"Tomorrow I'll break his limb!"

"Don't do anything stupid, I'll report him tomorrow."

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"That would be nice."

"Then count me in."

After we talked the call ended and I got up from the couch and went to my room to lie on the bed, about to grab sleep, I heard Lupy meowing next to the bed.

"You go sleep there!" I pointed to the soft carpet.

I covered myself from head to toe listening to him still meowing, I stretched my hand to the floor and picked him up putting him on top of me, and listening to his purr then.

"Don't get used to it!"

Next morning...

I had my breakfast on the table, Mrs. Bonnie had left early to visit a friend. I was waiting for Debbie to go to the police station, I looked at the clock, it was 8 am, I knew I was a little late, but now that I'm unemployed I don't have to worry about getting up early, for now. At that moment someone knocks on the door, I approach and open the wood letting her pass.

"Sorry for the delay, but something happened."

"What happened?"

"Your former boss was found dead in the apartment."

"Wow..." I said surprised. "He didn't even wait for the report."

"Everything indicates that he killed himself."

"I didn't know he was depressed."

"Maybe he killed himself for what he did to you."

"I doubt that very much."

"Whatever, he deserved the end he got."
