13. How to punish a bad girl...
For some crazy reason.., at that disgusting moment., the little girl from the restaurant popped into her head... Both the girl and the song the girl made her listen to...
That's right., the song Rescue said that He would send down an army to find you in the darkest night... It said He would Rescue you... Vanessa thought inwardly as Jason was ripping her clothes apart piece by piece..
For the first time in her life, Vanessa found herself inwardly praying to God for help... Because in this case, it seemed an invisible but omnipotent Being was the only One that could save her... "if you are really there., anywhere, and you listen to everyone's cry, even though you have never looked at me before., please.., please look at me now.. I need your help.. Please if you really exist help me...
She could hear Jason groaning.. He was obviously enjoying the moment and she was the only one in pain.. The only one suffering...
For some reason., one of her hands slipped from Jason's grip...and her eyes suddenly fell on a porcelain vase that laid close to her.. She could swear she did not notice that before... And even if she did, she could not hold anything since, but had miraculously let her hand slip..
With the last fight she had in her., she picked up the Vase and smashed it into his head...
He didn't even scream or cry out in pain.. He just fell atop her..
Oh my gosh.. Oh my gosh did I kill him.. The thought went to her mind for a split second.. But she was too terrified to check if he was dead or unconscious.. Instead she pushes his heavy body off hers., jerked up., her whole body a complete mess..
Not just her body., her mind was all jumbled up.. She straightened up what was left of her clothing., picked up her handbag that now laid at one side of the room, and ran out looking like a mad woman..
She saw the security man on her way out., he was saying something., but Vanessa was too dazed to hear or comprehend what he was saying... All she wanted now was to get out of here as soon as possible.. As she stepped out of the gate a taxi pulled up in front of her.., and she hopped into it not minding her disheveled appearance...
When the driver asked for an address., she felt like she needed someone to hold her tight and tell her she was completely safe., and Mark came to mind., but she could not possibly show up at his office like this.. So she ended up giving her home address..
She would just sit for hours under a warm shower to shake away all the shivering feeling she had...
*******************
Jason woke up moments later after she had long gone.. With a slight concussion..
"F*ck"... He caused out loud as felt the sharp pain in his head... He put one hand over his head.. He could feel a certain moist on his head.. He brought his hand to his face...
He was bleeding.. She had made him bleed.. Damn her... He was going to make her pay for this.. He just had to think of a possible way to make her pay for her insolence....
He picked up a piece of her clothing that he had torn off., takes it to his nose., and inhales deeply.... The feeling he got was more than what any hard drug in the world could give him....
**********************
It was already eight in the evening, and Jenny was closing the shop.. She had prayed as she always did that he would not show up today., and to her utmost joy, he didn't... It was the first time he would miss coming to her shop ever since he started coming there...
Although she felt happy and thankful to God that he didn't show up, she had a bad feeling.., a cold feeling crept up her spine... She felt like this was probably a resting period for him.., or more like the Calm before the storm... But she really hoped that the calm would last forever and the storm would never come... She was worried but for tonight.., even though it was just for tonight, she wanted to get him out of her mind., out of her system..
She was just really happy that he hadn't shown up that day and ruined another one of her evenings...
Or was that just her wishful thinking... For she had not taken note of the car that parked a few feet away from her Cafe.. And in it sat Jason still with a bruised head., but a creepy smile on his face as he watched Jenny walk away into the dark of the night...
Nothing in the world could had stopped him from seeing his Dear Enny off... Not even a bash to the head... He would definitely come watch her leave the Cafe., because he loved her.. He loved them both...
Now, all he had to do was figure out a way to punish one of his Loves who had been a real bad girl.. His lips curled up into a smirk as he thought of different ways to punish her...
**********************
HE DID WHAT??... Jenny's voice echoed round the apartment.. The horror evident in her voice.. She could not believe her ears.. She knew the kid was not normal., but then she really didn't expect him to go that far... 'No wonder he did not come to the Cafe that night'.. She thought to herself..
Vanessa had calmed down from the shock of the day.., but she was not completely over it.. She wore a thick sweater., and a pair of jeans.. And still covered herself up with a duvet. It was like she was trying to cover every visible part of her body... Wearing just her simple nightgown made her feel uncomfortable.. She felt that if she wore something light, her whole body was exposed.., or that someone could just easily rip apart a thin piece of clothing like her nightgown.. So she felt safer in a pair of jeans and long sleeve hooded sweater... That felt safe enough...
"oh Vanessa, are you okay.., are you sure you are fine... You have to quit that job this instant... Jenny said with command in her tone...
" No I can't do that Jenny., besides it is like you said., in a few months, he would be out of the school and I would not have to deal with him no more... She tried to show a sweet smile to the lady in front of her, but failed.. She couldn't bring herself to smile...
"Vanessa are you crazy.., I had no idea the kid was a maniac then.., He tried to RAPE YOU VANESSA.., you can't possibly keep on working there... She yelled.., it was more like a plea.. A plea that said 'please don't put your life at risk like that... But Vanessa was really not ready to leave the school.., at least not yet..
She just got a job.., there was no way she was loosing it even though she hated Jason with all her might and soul., she couldn't afford to go back into the world of the unemployed..
"don't worry Jenny., I don't think he would try anything stupid again.. And it was also my fault for staying back at school so late.. I'll leave the school premises earlier from now... She said trying really hard to convince her friend...
" oh Vanessa., I don't think you have to do this... You can get a job anywhere else.. God will surely provide you with another... She really hoped her friend would reconsider her decision., but she knew Vanessa... They were both alike in many ways.. One of them was when they set there mind to something., it was really hard to change it.. And it was obvious she had made up her mind...
"Okay fine., you have to tell the cops., they have to know this...
" What will I tell them Jenny?.. That the captain of the basketball team who is deviously good looking and could get any girl he wanted with his looks and status in the school, tried to rape me a twenty-six year old lady... Who do you think would believe this kind of story... Nobody.. Jen.. Nobody... I'm all alone in this.. She started sobbing softly..
Jenny just pulled her in a hug.. She knew Vanessa was right.. No one would believe them without proof.. Without evidence that the boy was just a wolf.. No a dog in sheep's clothing. All she could do now was console her friend., and console herself too because truth be told., she was also getting scared.. What if he came after her next.. What if she was his next victim...
Jenny was really scared for herself and her friend., but she kept her worries to herself.. Vanessa was already worked up.. She wouldn't want to add to it...
Suddenly., Jenny felt a sudden surge of fear run through her whole body... "oh my gosh Van., what about Jason., what happened to him... She asked.. And the equally terrified look on the face of Vanessa answered the question..
She had no idea if he was dead or alive.. Vanessa could feel her body shiver all over again in fear...
Beep.. Beep..
It was the sound of a message entering her phone... She picks it up., and what appears to the screen terrifies them both even more...
DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME., I'M PERFECTLY FINE...
The message from an unknown number boldly displayed on her phone's screen...
Both of them suddenly had chills directly at their bones, the text message was just a coincidence... It had to be... There was no way he could know they were talking about him...
No Way., UNLESS... Unless he was watching them...
This thought dawned on both ladies., what they where feeling now was worse than when a person realized that he flopped all his exams...
********
Jason who was glued to the big screen in front of him., enjoyed every moment he was watching... He enjoyed watching them panic in fear.. As they glued to each other like a pair of beans in a pod., not wanting to be separated.. For fear of what might happen if they separated from each other...
He sat in his king sized chair laughing out loud like the Obsessed, Freaky, Perverted Maniac that he was...
"oh they just make me go crazy"....
