" I know youth, I'm crazy about you , I'm going insane because of you youth, how do you think I felt when I was told you were on your way to Susan's house that night?" She blurts

"Wait a minute! What do you mean? Who told you"?

Dennis remains quiet , I bet she hadn't planned on saying that much,

I take two angry steps close to her, she steps backward, i walk close enough , I use my two hands to grip her shoulders shaking her roughly

I'm so pissed! So angry

" tell me how you knew I was going to Susan's place that night!" I growl

I see panic in her eyes,

"I'm s-s-sory youth, I had my boys track your every move, "

"So?!" I blare wanting to get more out of her, I know there's more ,

"Dennis you had better start talking or I'll slam your head against the wall " I threaten,
No matter what I would never physically hit a woman,

" they told me you had driven to her house after you left nikky and I , but I didn't know you would stay there for long, so I sent someone to follow Susan and have her raped or injured , to scare her away I never knew you would follow her, unfortunately he didn't follow my orders , and he stabbed you, I never planned for that to happen youth , I'm sorry, I had him locked up the moment I knew what he did..."

I'm dumbstruck,
So it had been her plan all along?
How did I not see this coming,
I can't believe Susan's life was in danger because of me,
Because of this crazy bitch
How did she get this bad?
She needs help

Believe me its taking every ounce in me not to rip her apart

"You deserve to rot in jail Dennis! I hate you, let me warn you, if you hurt a single hair on Susan's body, I'll kill you believe me" I shove her aside and storm out of the room. I hear her whimpers and pleadings,

I head for my room , pick up my car keys and head out, I hear mom and Richard asking where I was headed but my mind is to clouded to reply them.

I drive of to Susan's place, I need to tell her everything, she deserves to know the truth, I don't care what her judgement would be,
I need to protect her,

I arrive at her house , parking my car across the street , in long strides I head for her house, I reach her doorstep and I ring the bell impatiently ,

On the second ring , a damsel appears at the door,
She's wearing a black tank top and white short , her perfectly toned legs sparkle ,
Her long brunette hair is poured down across her shoulders
My goodness the sight before me is relishing,
I'm crazy, crazy about this woman before me,

Susan what have you done to me??!

"Uh-h-hi, morning " I stutter

"Hi youth, is something wrong? " she looks confused ,

"I need to tell you something" I muffle hesitantly,

"Uhnm okay, do you wanna come in?" She asks
I nod in agreement and she opens the door wide enough for me to go in, considering my height I bend a little bit to go in,
She close the door behind us

As I take a moment to scan her small apartment, it was so simple and comfortable, a picture of her and her dad hung on the wall , I see another picture of her and Mr jerk and it makes me frown,
He has his hands over her should and they are both laughing happily ,
I'm jealous by the fact that I'm not the one making her smile.

"Uhm I was just about to make coffee, you want some?" She asks

I can feel the
tension between us

"Yeah sure" I reply nervously

"I'm sorry i'm almost out of coffee, but I think i've got latte " She explains,

"Don't stress it, latte is fine" I inform

"Okay then, I'll be back in 2mins" . she informs ,

She's taking more time than she promised, I really need to tell her about dennis,
Just then her doorbell rings ,

"Uhm Susan! " I call out

"Just get it, I made a mess in here, i'll be out soon" she says,

I stand up from the couch to get the door,
I just hope it isn't Mr jerk at the door, trust me I'm gonna slam the door right in his face ,

I open the door to see a woman, probably in her late 40s she looks frail , there's this look of sadness painted all over her , one could tell that she was once a beautiful woman,
There's something uncanny ,
I'm trying to figure it out
Ding! I see a resemblance, so familiar ,
Where could I have see such similarities, I dunno
"Good morning ma'am" I greet, breaking the silence,

"Morning handsome" she replies with a smile that doesn't reach her eyes,
Now that smile does look familiar , I just can't place it,

"Youth! Who's at the door?" Susan asks from the kitchen

"Uhm its a woman" I reply with my voice raised so she could hear me from the kitchen,

"Let her in, I'll be out soon" she informs,
And I roll my eyes
I'll be out soon, that's what she said 20mins ago , only God knows what sort of coffee she's conjuring ,
I mentally smack my self for my stupid thoughts.
I usher the old lady into the sitting room, she takes her sit, and I equally take my sit.
10 more minutes passes by and Susan isn't out of the kitchen yet,
Goodness

"Uh Susan, you still alive in there? " I call out jokingly

I hear her giggle, and it makes me smile , I look at the lady who was sitting across, she was smiling as well, probably at the conversation between Susan and i, one thing for sure she wasn't happy , I wonder what was the story behind her facade.

"Unfortunately Mr Benson , I'm alive and I'll be out soon" susan says breaking out of my though,

"You said that 30mins ago, you're really bad at hospitality" I playfully yell and she laughs,
Too bad I can't see her beautiful laughter since she's glued to the kitchen .

My phone rings and its dennis,
Ignore it,
It rings twice more and I head outside to answer it, leaving the old lady alone.
She's been staring into space , I do wonder how she knows Susan .

Please lovelies, be kind enough to hit the star for me, leave a comment too , lysm💞😭😘
