Daddy's Plaything

Chapter 8

Alex was sitting at home staring blankly at her computer screen. She was trying all day to think about what she wanted to do for a living. For hours she sat there, thinking about her future and her mind was completely empty. She had no idea what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.

Her doorbell rang snapping her out of her thoughts. She lazily walked to her door and opened it to find Alyssa.

"Damn what's wrong with you? You look horrible," Alyssa said walking inside Alex's house and sitting on the couch.

"Thanks Alyssa. You really know how to make a girl feel special," Alex rolled her eyes.

"What's wrong? Are you bummed because I'm leaving?" Alyssa asked. She had plans to move out and go to cosmetology school. It was the best school in the state but it was a few hours away from Alex.

"No. I mean, yes I'm going to miss you like crazy, but I'm actually jealous of you. At least you know what you want to do with your life," Alex said flopping herself face first on the couch.

"Oh Alex it's ok. You'll figure it out," Alyssa reassured Alex rubbing her back gently.

"Mmphppmn," Alex muffled into the couch.

"Can't hear you peach," Alyssa said putting her hand to her ear.

"I said that's what you think," Alex scowls at her.

"Just think ok? I chose cosmetology because I love making ugly people look beautiful. What do you like to do? Something you could make into a career?"

"Don't you think I've already thought of that? I've been thinking non stop for a week and there's nothing I'm good at or love to do enough to make money off of it. I'm gonna end up either unemployed forever mooching off my mom, or I'm gonna be a prostitute. Not sure which one is worse," Alex flopped her head back into the couch.

"You know I think you'd make a great prostitute. You've got amazing legs. You'd have customers lining up all day!" Alyssa laughed but Alex remaind planted in the couch depressed. "Oh come on Alex I was just joking. What about drawing. You used to draw all the time and you were so great at it. Then out of nowhere you just stopped."

Alex lifted her head. "Hmm that's right. Drawing was always a way to escape everything. Then I found a way better distraction..." Alex stopped herself. Ever since Mr. Anderson came back she hadn't done much but think about him. She totally lost herself obsessing over him. He was her distraction but not anymore.

"What kind of distraction?" Alyssa asked curiously.

"Umm... nothing. Just...chess," Alex stuttered nervously.

Alyssa gave her a death glare but decided to drop the subject.

"Anyway there's a reason why I came over. I have something to tell you. So you know how I've been telling you my parents have been really distant lately? And I know they haven't been having sex because they fight about it almost everynight until recently. I seriously thought they were going to get a divorce," Alyssa said sadly. Alex frowned but deep down was happy yet guilty hoping they would devorce so she could have him.

"But something happened last night. Even though it's completely disgusting, my parents finally had sex!" Alyssa smiled but quickly made a look of disgust thinking about her parents getting it on.

Alex was speechless. A flame inside her grew strong. She felt as if she was burning instead. Jealousy and anger filled her. She felt betrayed.

'How could he? After all that we've done and he just goes back to her like I mean nothing? That bastard! I thought he cared about me. Of course he doesn't! He never did! He only wanted me for a hot piece of ass because his wife wouldn't put out but now she did and what about me? Now I'm nothing? Fuck that!' Alex's mind raced with angry thoughts.

"Hello? Earth to Alex," Alyssa waved her hand to Alex's face bringing her back to reality.

"Oh sorry. I'm happy for you. I'm sorry Alyssa but I have some thinking to do about my future. Can I talk to you later?" Alex asked. She needed to be alone. Mostly to cry but also to think about her next move. She was done. She was getting away no matter what.

"Yeah of course. I'll talk to you later," Alyssa hugged Alex then left.

Alex ran straight to her room, threw herself on the bed, and cried.

'Why do I feel this way? It's not like Mr. Anderson and I are dating. I mean he's married for crying out loud. He had sex with his wife which is how it's supposed to be. So why am I so upset? I'm such an idiot. How could I not see this coming?' Alex thought as tears streamed down her face, her heart hurting.

A ping from her phone brings her out of her thoughts. It's a text from Johnny. He'd been texting her constantly asking her out. She politely declines not feeling any attraction to him. But she's so hurt right now that all she wants to do is be with someone else to distract her from the pain.

She made plans to go out on a double date with Johnny, Alyssa, and Jason.

*************************************

When the night came of their date, Alex dressed up real sexy. She wore a short tight red dress with black heels. She looked like a dime wanting to impress.

Once she was ready she headed over to Alyssa's house. She was nervous to see Mr. Anderson. It had been a while but the fact that she looked hotter than all hell she had the confidence to do anything.

She knocked on the door. And of course Mr. Anderson was the one to answer it. He was in awe of the sight before him. His eyes widened and his mouth was agape looking as if he was going to drool at any moment.

'Holy fuck' Mr. Anderson thought as he saw how amazing Alex looked. She saw him checking her out and how dumbstruck he looked. She absolutely loved it.

'Yes! Exactly the reaction I was hoping for. But you fucked up buddy. You can look but you can't touch' Alex thought smiling.

"Hey Alex. What are you doing here? Alyssa had a date tonight," Mr. Anderson gulped still checking her out. He couldn't take his eyes off of her.

"Oh she didn't tell you? We're going on a double date. You remember Johnny right? They guy you rudely yanked off of me on my birthday. Well he's been chasing after me for months. I figure it's finally time I give him what he wants," Alex says seductively biting her lip.

A fury rose inside Mr. Anderson. But before he could say anything Alyssa came running down the stairs.

"Damn Alex! You look hot! Johnny is a lucky guy!" Alyssa said checking Alex out.

"He sure is," Alex smirked at Mr. Anderson and walked away. As the girls walked down the driveway a car pulls up.

Johnny and Jason both get out to open the door for their ladies. As Alex hops inside the car she looks at an angry Mr. Anderson standing in the doorway. She winks at him and gets in the car. Alex laughed internally as she thought about how angry he looked. Mission accomplished.

They all headed down to the movies. They picked out something scary to watch. That way they could get scared and cuddle up to each other. Then end up making out instead of watching the movie.

They sat down and watched the movie. 15 minutes in and Alyssa had already stuck her tongue down Jasons throat. Alex rolled her eyes. This made things a little awkward for her.

She only went out Johnny to try and get over Mr. Anderson but as she sat there she wanted nothing more than to just go home. She didn't want to hurt Johnny but she didn't want to lead him on either. She didn't have any feelings for him she was just using him but it made her feel worse not better.

Johnny used the old trick of pretending to yawn and wrap his arm around Alex's shoulder. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "You look absolutely stunning Alex."

She looks over at him and smiles. "Thank you Johnny. You're really sweet. But I need to be honest with you. I can't do this. I'm sorry but I'm in love with someone else." As she said those words it struck her.

She loved him.

"I'm sorry Johnny, I have to go," Alex left without another word.
