A Twisted Tale

Chapter 1

He sat there tied into a chair, wearing a black suite no tie and one loose button. He's shoes had spots of blood, not too much though but just enough to scare the living daylight out of him, and his head was lowered to the ground unconscious. The room was dark, except where he was sat a light hung above him. slowly I started seeing him gaining some consciousness again for like the third time. "You were supposed to mine you know?" I said darkly, he's head was still hanging and this really irritated me. Why is he not looking at? Am I that ugly? "Look at me honey." I demanded darkly, he didn't look up. Why? "I said, look at me honey" I demanded once again, he slowly tilted his head revealing all the scratches on his face which I painted on with my long sharp nails. It's no my best artwork but I will definitely fix it. "What do you want from me lady?" He pleaded, this made me smirk and I burst out laughing hysterically, wasn't it obvious? "Honey, isn't it obvious yet to you why you're tied up in my garage?" I asked amusement filling my voice and a wide smile placed on my face. I walked up to him and sat on his lap running my hands through his black-blonde dyed afro hair. He looked at me with disgust, but not for too long then turned to face the other way. After a few minutes of just sitting there and playing with his hair, I got up and walked to the other side of the room switching on a dim lamp that revealed a display shelf. I grabbed my cigarette and started smoking, it's been a while since I had one of this. I watched him intently with a serious expression on my face, he just watched me looking all vulnerable. "You wanna know why you are here right?" As if he found hope from what I said, he nodded his head slowly almost a smile peaking on his face. I smirked at him and walked up to him slowly walking around him in circles with my cigarette in hand and my other hand holding his shoulder. I stopped behind him and encircled my arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, "because you... You... You cheated on me." I whispered dryly, his eyes opened up widely in shock "what do you mean I cheated on you?" He asked with hatred laced in his voice, I just giggled and walked to stand infront of him and punched his nose. I was angry, no I was mad! How could he act as if he doesn't know what I'm talking about I punched him again this time on his left cheek, he spit out blood and some of it landed on my black dress. A rage of anger rose inside of me, I grabbed his necked and squeezed it until his eyes seemed as if they were about to pop out. I don't wanna kill him, no I don't but I do want to hurt him so bad he'll forget his name. I started blowing punches at him in no particular pattern and he kept granting and crying out loud for help. "Don't play dumb! I saw you with that girl, you are always with her! I see you with her by the park, that small cafe down the road from your house! You're with her at school, in your car, in hospital, at events and in your house!" I screeched and slowly stopped punching him. He looked at me confused, as if what I just said was a combination of rotten tomatoes and expired milk. "Lady, that girl you're talking about is my girlfriend, I'm dating her. We have been dating for like a year and three months. I think you've got the wrong guy Miss." He said politely, I looked at straight in the eye, and dug my fingers into his shoulder making him scream. "Look at me you idiot!" He carried on screaming, and I stopped pulling away my fingers from his shoulder. "Now listen here honey, that girl you call your girlfriend will be dead soon. How dare you tell me she's your girlfriend where as you're mine, you have been mine from the day you born okay? Now be a good boyfriend and admit you cheated on me." I told him holding his head to face me, "Miss, you got the wrong guy." He pleaded with me, "how about you let me go, and I won't say a word about this. I'll even help you catch your guy, just please let me go. It's my girlfriends birthday in two weeks and we had plans, so please let me go. I won't mention this to...."
"Shut up! You're making me crazy, I don't wanna hurt you honey okay. There is no other guy, you are my guy. And unless you want to starve tonight then you better admit that you cheated. I won't do anything to you I promise, I'll untie you and we'll live together and be happy." I reassured, he's pleadings were starting to get on my nerves. "Lady, I've got a girlfriend and I want to propose to her in two weeks. I can't be here with you or live with you. I need you to understand that you and I are not together, I must look like someone who broke your heart but I'm not that person. Even if I wasn't with Lulu, I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with you. You're a pretty lady honestly, and well you deserve a man who'll love you, but that's not me." I looked at him confused, "Who is Lulu? Will this person be a threat in our relationship bunny boo?" Looking like a lunatic, which I'm pretty I am. "Lulu is my girlfriend, Luthando. And there is no relationship between us?" He said irritated, I don't know why he's so cold with me, why doesn't he like me?  I think it's because of that Luthando girl, ohh I'm so getting rid of her.  A plan made its way to head. I smiled at him fiddling with my fingers, I walked up to him slowly staring at him and started untieing the ropes slowly. "You know what, I was thinking. How about we go over to the kitchen get something to eat and well, you'll tell me more about your girlfriend huh?? Then I'll let you go and as you promised you won't say a word about what happened okay?" I negotiated with him he nodded his head and agreed with my plan gladly. " If you try anything stupid while we eat dinner I will make sure you leave my house in a body bag. I've got tons of those just in case." I warned as he walked out the garage into my newly renovated kitchen, it had Black gloss countertops and light grey cabinets others transparent with plain glass. It wasn't a big kitchen, quite small actually and the white tiled floor echoed our footsteps and a set of knifes are placed from biggest to smallest on my countertop, I'd just bought this set online they had unicorn polka-dotted pictures printed on them with a nice sea blue colour coating on it. "what's you name bunny boo?" I asked him politely with a genuine smile on my face, as if we weren't in my garage and me beating the living daylights of him. "David, and yours?" He said calmly just before he noticed my new knife collection and he jumped looking up at me nervously as if indirectly asking me what I'm going to do with these knifes. "Don't worry, I won't use them on you David, unless I have to obviously but don't be scared." I assured him, "you can call me, Lady for now." He just nodded and I gestured him to sit on one of my light grey bar stools, at first he hesitated but ended up getting himself a seat. I walked over to my fridge and opened my freezer to take out a pack of chicken and mushroom pies, I switched on the oven and place the pies inside then started with my salad and mango juice. He sat the staring at me while I prepared our dinner, there is no way that I'm going to let me leave my house, the only way out of here is if he end up in a body bag. While the pies were cooking and the salad and juice was prepared I stood infront of him and looked deep into he's eyes, he's mind was preoccupied and he seemed bored. I slammed the counter and grabbed my new set of unicorn knifes and put them in my drawer, I slipped one out just in case he pulled a stunt. He saw me holding it behind me and looked at me with fear painted all over his face. "While we wait for the pies, why don't you tell about your girlfriend?" I forced a smile on my face and placed the knife over on the stove which was approximately fifteen centimetres away from me then I looked over to him again placing my arms on the counter not far from his body. I raised my eyebrows waiting for him to respond, "Well, I finished my matric last year and on our matric dance our school had decided that they wanted to combine our school matric dance with Luthando's so we met there." He spoke trying to calm down his nerves, a big smile made its way to my face revealing my teeth. I was well aware of how uncomfortable I made him but I enjoyed seeing him internally panic, trying to be a man not showing how scared he is. Hahahaha, it's hilarious I want to see him break I want to get to his breaking point, I want him to feel my pain being imprisoned not being able to control a thing in your life! I want to him feel as if he has no control what so ever in his life, I will control each and every single thing in his life. EVERYTHING.
"Yeah, then what happened at the dance?" I asked intrigued. He let out a breath then continued "well my buddy Karabo was very social so he introduced himself to Lulu's friend Isabella and they clicked immediately, so we ended up talking with Isabella and after a while of talking about nonsense Lulu appeared and I fell in love with her instantly." He's eyes glowed and and a small smile made its way on his face, he looked as if he was head over heels with her and this disgusted me, he's supposed to me mine, he's supposed to be head over heels for me not Luthando. "Continue" I forced out, he fiddled with his fingers looking down at his feet I suppose, I hate it when people don't look at me during a conversation it's disrespectful. I held his hands diverting his gaze to face me, "continue" I said nodding my head.
"Well when I saw and she saw me, our eyes locked and we just stared at each other as if there's nothing wrong or weird about it. After a few seconds of just staring I cleared my throat and walked up to her to say hi and probably leave this place with a girlfriend. We started talking and she was easy to talk to, close to the end of the night I asked her to the dance floor. They were playing slow songs and everyone was dancing, the lights were a dim purple and blue colour. At first she was sceptical but then eventually she agreed and we were on the dance floor dancing, Patronella our head girl walked up to the stage after the last song and started with her speech. It was a long boring one all about how she enjoyed her high school years with us and how matric was the best and how we made it the best and how she'll miss us all. I knew it was a lie, she practically hated everyone and put on a pretty face for the teachers to think she's an angel but act like a total devil when with us. She was a big bully, I don't know how she became head girl but I heard that her parents bribed the school or threatened the principal something like that. So I got bored of her lies and led Luthando and I outside where the air was a nice cold breeze, it was less stuffy than inside and we chatted about our experience in high school. Later that night before it was time to head home, I'd ask Luthando for her cellphone number and asked her out on a date, she gladly agreed. We ended the night and went out separate ways." He looked so happy talking about the night of his matric dance, "this girl seems to make you happy. So tell me about your first date" he nodded and looked over to the pies in the oven. "Ohh before you do let me get our pies, you must be hungry." I giggled like a little girl, I dished out our pies and salad and poured in some mango juice in my new glasses that have fairies imprinted on them as if it's a logo for some company. I placed David's food infront of him and mine where I stood, I walked over next to him to grab one of my bar stools and sat down. "The food is still hot so be careful there darling." I spoke kindly I gestured for him to proceed with the story. "Well, we went hiking at an adventure park and a picnic when we got to the top of the mountain. After the whole hike thing we went to a park near a shopping complex, we sat by the benches having some ice-cream we bought from down the road. There were little toddlers playing on the swings and slides and well we started talking about our life as children you know. Around four-thirty we parted ways and chatted on WhatsApp later that day. We went on more dates and on our seventh date I asked her to be my girlfriend just so we're both on the same page, at first she looked at me as if I was crazy then she burst out laughing with a hell yeah so that's how we got together. He ate his pie in silence and so did I, it was an awkward silence I kept staring at him and eating his food or drinking his juice until both his and my food was done. Afterwards I ordered him to wash the dishes, "so tell me David where does your girlfriend live?" He was taken by surprise with my question, at first he startled a bit not sure how to answer my question. I cleared my throat showing my impatience. "Uhm, why do you want to know?" He asked very suspicious, "I said, where does your girlfriend live David?" I asked him gritting my teeth. "I uh.. I uh.. don't know Lady" he was annoying me, he knew where that bloody brat lived and he was lying to me. "Don't test me David, where does your girlfriend live?" I asked slowly as I went over to grab my new unicorn polka-dotted knife as I slowly walked over to him while he washed the last of the dishes. I wrapped my arms around his waist from behind with my knife in hand which was visible in his view. He could easily snatch the knife out of my hands but if he did I'll snap his ribs. "Don't dare think about it, you'll regret it." I sang into he's ear as I could see where his eyes were gazing and well I could read his mind. He wasn't going to do anything stupid and I was to make sure of that. "Now tell me, bunny boo. Where does Luthando live?" I asked again danger laced in my voice. He sucked in some air and I squeezed his waist, he let out a moan and I just giggled. He wasn't going to tell me where that bastard lived and it's getting late, and I don't want to kidnap the girl. Ohh who am I kidding, I'm definitely going to kidnap her. But if David won't tell me where she lives, then I'll have to do it the hard way. A grin is painted on my face, "oh David, I love how you want to protect your girlfriend but this not the time to play superhero. It's either we make this easy and you tell me where she lives or you make this difficult and I find my way to her, and trust me it's not going to look good at all. For your families safety and your girlfriends safety it's best you tell me." I threatened him, I enjoyed watching people act like idiots when they think they're being the hero saving the world and sacrificing themselves to help they're loved ones. It's hilarious honestly. "I won't hurt her, I promise. I just want to have a little a chat with her, afterwards I promise I'll let you go. I won't hurt her" I reassured him, I knew if I said that he'll just me where she is and boom I can go over and have a little chat with her. "I won't tell you where she lives, but but I can tell you that she works at a hardware store at the Northmead Square." He really thinks that I'm going to go that store find her, have our little chat then release her?! No way, I'll follow her home and well watch her for a couple of days then we will meet and boom. I know, it's crazy but I still want my fun in the process you know. I let go of his waist and head into my living room, its not as big as well with light grey leather sofas and two white armchairs, there's three painting of floors in vases on the wall and one abstract artwork hanged where the television would normally be placed. A grey coffee table is placed in the middle of the room a mini bookshelf placed neatly and a floor vase in the middle I had light grey curtains and a tinted windows pane, I grab a book to read it was called Sleeping beauty-a twisted tale I've read it before once although never finished it. David walked in and made his way into one of my white armchairs. I didn't mind David as he scanned the room intently, obviously having nothing better to do. I took a good look at him, he was very good looking, he wasn't fit or had any muscles, people with muscles scare me but he was relatively skinny not too much though, there was some fat, he had a brown skin and big black eyes that reflected the light that was emitting from the room, he's hair was cut on both sides except the top and he'd dyed it blonde but the original colour of his hair was starting to grow again. It looked disgusting, I had to fix it immediately. "Read a book David, here take this one. It's called Knight in shining armour- survival you'll need it, trust me." I suggested, he took it and started reading, or that's what I thought he was doing. We read for about three hours then I commanded him to place the books back in the shelf. Afterwards I walked down my hallway into the bathroom and so David can get himself cleaned, and ready for bed. After filling the bath tub with water and bringing in a set of pajamas, a towel and a bathroom toiletries that he'll perhaps need I called him in to get ready for bed while I prepared his room. David's room was opposite the bathroom and next to mine, I only had four rooms in my house, two on the left and two on the right, the bedrooms on the left and the bathroom and study on the right. I walked into the room which would be his and changed the sky blue bedsheets into a black and white striped themed one, I took of the blue curtains and replaced them with black ones. Now the room looked darker if it wasn't for the white tiled floor it would be even darker. There wasn't any furniture in this room, only a bed in the middle. I left the room and knocked on the bathroom door, "David dear, you've got five minutes left. It's nearly seven-thirty darling you need to be in bed." I informed him. I made my way to the kitchen and warmed up some milk for my sweetheart David, I remember baking some choc chip cookies so I got a few from the grocery cabinet and a book from my mini bookshelf. My David won't be able to sleep without a little bed time story. I smiled to myself satisfied with everything I prepared for David, then made my way to his room. When I got there he was already getting himself in bed I leaned on the door frame looking at how well behaved he is. "David, look what I got you?" I walked in holding the tray of the items I'd picked up in the kitchen. I layed on the bed next to him and offered him some warm milk and cookies, "now David, this will be your everyday routine okay? Now eat up and finish your milk while I read you a story. It's called Red riding hood I hope you'll be alright with it?" I asked him with a smile on my face, I've never been this happy before in my life, he nodded while chewing on my cookies. I read him the story and once I finished I took the empty glass and placed it in the tray. I tucked him in and gave him a kiss on his forehead then left switching off the light, "Goodnight my David, I'll see you tomorrow"

A/N
Well that's a rap, it's just the beginning of the story and already it's giving me the creeps.
Please do tell me what you think about Lady and David, it would be nice to hear your opinion on my two favourite characters.
