Falling For The Enemy

Chapter 19 (Visitor)

'Oh my fucking GOD! What the hell have you done to me!' Alex shrieked like a little girl after coming face to face with his reflection in the mirror. I was laughing so hard that tears were actually trickling down my face. I had forced him to put on one of my stretchy flowing summer dresses and curled his hair a bit from the tops. After also applying some make-up which consisted of lip-gloss and eye liner with a bit of blush, I also convinced him to wear some of my mothers heels which were too big for me.

'You look so pweety!' I cooed pinching his cheeks and ruflling his hair while he just glowered at me. Slowly he started taking all the jewellery and make-up of. He undid the dress and it dropped to the floor so he was literally standing in his boxers. I gulped and just continued to stare at his god-like body.

'Now it's my turn to have some fun...' he whispered seductively stepping closer while I crept backwards rubbing my sweaty palms on the sides of my jeans.

'Wha...what are you doing?' I stuttered continuing with my effort to keep the distance intact between us, 'Have you forgotten, you have to so whatever I say til tomorrow and I'm telling you to stop!' I reminded him as my back hit the cupboard.

'Oh but that's not what you want, ask yourself...' he said leaning in closer and keeping his voice dangerously closer while caging me in his hefty arms, then leaning in so his ears were at my lips he continued to whisper, 'Do you really want me to stop?' 

I took a deep breath and gulped already knowing the answer to the question. No. I didn't want him to stop, and if he started I don't think I would be able to! I looked up into his olive eyes and he cupped my cheek with one hand, bending in until his lips touched mine. It was a soft kiss as I curled my hands in his hair to make it better but we were stopped by a sharp knock on the door. Alex took a few steps back and furrowed his eyes in confusion.

'Who could that be? No-one knows about this place..' Alex trailed before looking up towards me. As soon as my face came into view his eyes widened in terror and he pinched the bridge of his nose.

'Alex what happened?' I asked placing an arm on his in an attempt of comforting him.

'Nothing, you have to hide Ani please just hide...under the bed please!' he whispered urgently pusshing me towards the king-sized bed.

'What! Why?' I asked, stopping him in his tracks. There was another knock on the door this time more impatient.

'Hey open up who's in there, open up!' a gruffly voice ordered from outside while I peered outside at the door then back at Alex.

'Alex who is that?' I questioned raising an eyebrow.

'I don't have time now I'll explain later now please just get under the bed and trust me! he loud whispered before closing the bedroom door and hurrying to the front leaving me alone in the bedroom. Something at the back of my mind kept telling me to listen to him but my heart wanted to go out and see. After a few moments of contemplation I crawled under the bed as I heard the click of the door opening.

'Hey Stewy! How are you?' Alex greeted enthusiastically but I could just see through his fake facade. 

'Oh now you care!' the gruff voice replied in a sarcastic tone.

'Look I wanted to contact you and I have the money it's just not here...' Alex said softly while clearing his throat. A deep chuckle resounded from the living room rolling up the walls and back down again.

'I don't think so Alex it took me 3 weeks to find you, I'm not letting you off this time!' the man exclaimed his tone drastically changing to an extremely serious one. He seems bipolar I thought to myself.

'Yeah I was busy...look the money will get to you just give me two days!' I heard Alex's pleading voice  trying to reason with insufferable man.

'Like that's going to happen I gave you 1 week and you disappeared for 2 extra maybe even more if I hadn't found you! How do I know you won't do it again? Do you take me for a fool!' he shouted getting angrier by the second.

'No of course not, it won't happen again I give you my word!' Alex explained. The sound of shuffling indicated that they had gotten up from their seats. I hid deeper under the bed to hide from the mans gaze.

'She's in here somewhere isn't she, you know the reward for the girl? $75,000! It will make up for your debt and lateness!' he said, and I could guess the huge smirk he had on his face. I muffled my gasp with my hand and even tried to quieten my breathing but my heartbeat stayed the same. He was in the room now, I could see his feet, moving around the room he looked all around including the cupboards. I held my breath as he slowly bent down to look under the breath, however Alex interuppted just in time, distracting the man from what he was doing.

'What are you talking bout Stew?' Alex inquired his voice rougher and demanding.

'Don't pretend you don't know, you kidnapped his daughter didn't you?' he smirked taking a step towards Alex and getting all up in his face before continuing, 'Now pretty boy tell me where she is, you didn't think the money would be all yours did you?' 

If I was not mistaken I think I even heard a snarl come from Alex as he spoke, 'I don't want her for the money.'

'Oh so is she your personal bitch now? What did you wrap her around your fingers!' he snorted, coming so close to Alex that both their chests were touching. My hand hit the bed making the faintest of sounds, yet it seemed so loud compared to the tension filled room. Alex's eyes darted back up as quickly as they did towards me, but it wasn't quick enough for the man noticed his reaction.

'Under the bed eh? Classic!' he grinned stepping back and coming towards me. I closed my eyes and held my breath afraid of what would happen next. I hoped my prayers would be strong enough to help me get out of this sticky situation.

'No, wait,' Alex's husky voice resounded throughout the room.

'And why would I do that?' he asked Alex with a raised eyebrow before turning back towards the bed, 'You can come out now sweetheart, your little secret is out!' he sung in a sickly sweet voice making me want to barf my insides out. 

I gulped and gradually crept out from under the bed, and stood up straight looking up to see Alex glaring at the man. Turning my attention towards the man, a gasp escaped my lips. He was my fathers closest friend..or used to be, I knew something was wrong with him the minute I was introduced to him. My intuition was proven right by the events today.

'Why, she is quite a girl isn't she, grown quite a lot from the last time I saw her!' he grinned through his lust filled eyes and he gazed ever so slowly up my body. Even though I was fully clothed I suddenly felt very under dressed as I shuffled on the spot avoiding his gaze. He neared me as I stepped back but got stopped by the wall. As he reached out to take my chin in his hand I tried to bend away and waited for the contact but it never happened. When I opened my eyes I saw he had been pulled back by Alex from the collar and let me tell you Alex didn't seem very happy...AT ALL!

His eyes were a livid green and his fists were clenched so tight at his sides that I was afraid he would draw blood out. A vein was popping out on his neck and forehead and his breathing was raspy and heavy as he stiffened his muscles. I had never seen him this angry before and had a really bad feeling about this.  Even though the man tried best not to show it, the fear was obvious in his eyes.

'Analise...get out of here...NOW!' he instructed through clenched teeth not breaking his eye contact with a grinning, yet fear filled Stew.
