Obsession:The Sequel [Jacob Latimore]

12.]Blood On The Dance Floor

::Jacob::

Today was a new day. A day of happiness. My happiness and my life. My life coming together with the girl I am ever so deeply in love with right beside me. I could do nothing else but smile for another chance at life and at a life with her. Serenity was still everything I ever wished for in a woman and in a person in general. Her kind-hearted tendencies truly keep me grounded when it comes to my inner demons. The inner demons have been in my ear lately talking to me about what I should do. They say to get revenge on the man who laid hands on your precious beauty. They say to kill him and let him die slowly so that he can feel pain and suffering. I don't listen to them in all hopes to keep moving in my new life without hurting another living being. With Serenity around I can do just that. Although she has her demons, being that most of them are insecurities, I don't dwell on them too much. I want to tend to her insecurities and make her feel secure. She needs to know that she's worth someone loving her and that's me. It has always been me. She needs to know she's worth being treated with tenderness, which is what I do for her. I think of her delicacy, as if she's like the most fragile flower. One touch and she's damaged. I never want to damage her again for as long as we both shall live. She will soon find that out too as I continue to be a decent man to her. She deserved everything special, everything that she desired. I want to give her the best life that she can live. I want to see a smile on her face every day, because it's one of the most important things to do. Her happiness is my gold, little does she know.

Stopping my thoughts for the moment being, I walked into my new job. Up front was the boss Mr. Gibson and a woman next to him. Goosebumps started to become evident upon my arms as she stared me down with a twinkle in her eye. I kept my eyes looking at the boss until I was standing right in front of him.

"Jacob, nice to see you this early. I'd like to introduce you to my sister, Joy Gibson. She'll be doing your drug test today." He explained.

"You didn't tell me our new hire was so dashingly handsome big brother." Joy suddenly said breaking the pause.

"Ugh, already Joy c'mon just do your job and leave him alone." Mr. Gibson said.

"I will be doing my job." She snapped back.

He soon walked away leaving us alone. Joy stood at about 5'7, whereas she was some inches taller than Serenity. Her hair was cut into a short bob, the color being a sandy brown and her skin tone was of a light cream to almost honey tone. Her eyes were a light shade of brown and she still looked at me the same with that twinkle in her eye. I ignored the matter as she began talking. I could never imagine myself looking at another woman with the way I love Serenity. Even if I did misbehave under jealous matters, it didn't matter what woman was around me, Serenity is the strongest beauty I've ever came across. Don't get me wrong, women are beautiful, but to me my woman is my the jewel that's shines brighter than anyone. No matter the amount of effort women put in to throw themselves at me, I'll never give in.

"Excuse me, are you even listening?" A squeaky voice rung in my ears.

"Excuse me?" I snapped back with a tone so demanding.

"Don't get smart with me, I'm the one that asked the question. Here, just take the test." Joy said handing me a cup.

I yanked it from her hold nearly breaking the cup once it was in my hands. I squeezed it and walked away, handling what I needed to. Before leaving the bathroom I stood in the mirror just starting at myself. I couldn't believe Serenity was leaning on me now more than anything. It made me so happy, no one could take it away from me. I was starting to gain the feeling of protecting what's mine and what belongs to me. I didn't need anyone in my way. Not anyone from the old job and especially not anyone from this new job. I don't feel the need to tolerate flirting, or ignorance. All I wanted was peace but if the acts of such people tempted me to do unthinkable things, like I once had done then I'd do it again without hesitation simply because I want my life to stay on track. Setting people straight or simply taking care of the matters of annoyance, is something that I was good at. Although I've been doing well, I hope something or someone let's these everyday people know, that I am not to be bothered.
