Chapter Eighteen
Lula Lopez
My skin shivered as a pinching cold engulfed my body. It was nowhere near winter, but I already felt like I was in the Arctic Circle. The pores on my skin seemed to be infested by bytes of ice heading straight for my heart.
My eyes were unable to absorb light, causing the darkness around me to only grow. My limps had grown numb with no sensation. I was tied to the ground and my hands and feet were bound by what felt like ropes. From the feel of it, my eyes had been tied up that even my tears could not escape. Javier’s face was the only thing I could see, the way he looked at me before he walked out that door. The hurt in his eyes when I spewed those hurtful degrading words. My mom was right, I am unloveable. No wonder Carlos chose Celia over me.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved Celia, but she was nothing but a big ass and a pretty face, there was nothing in between. There wasn’t much to pass off as active brain cells in her head, yet Carlos chose her over me. My mom repeatedly told me that I always find a way to ruin a good thing, just like she did with my dad. She said it is a curse that followed women of our family for generations. I hated her for those words, but it was hitting me little by little how I have yet again lost something. But this time, it was something worth staying for; Javier was the first man to recognize my value even without me having to do much. Now, I may never get the chance to apologize for my wrongs and make it up to him.
My line of thought was interrupted when the clanking sound of rusting metals scratching against each other came from somewhere far in front of me. I could see nothing, but I knew a presence had entered. Heavy footsteps menacingly drew nearer, yet I could not see them because my eyes were covered. The footsteps came to a stop right in front of me. I stayed silent, wondering whose they were and what they intend to do. Slowly, my heartbeat elevated, and my breathing hitched a few times as I anticipated this person.
“Ah!!” I shrieked when my body became doused with freezing water. “What the fuck!” I shivered some more as the buds of water made their into my body, worsening my state.
A hand placed itself under my chin and lifted my face. I still could not see anyone, but I could smell the liquor. I heard the continuous grunting sounds being released from their nostrils and the back of their throats for some reason. Not even a bear could sound this way. A hand caressed my cheeks and forced my mouth open.
The grunt became louder and a husky voice followed: “Fuck! Your mouth looks like it can work magic on a man’s dick”. He acknowledged.
Eww
I tried to remove my face from his grip but he tightened it, and the next thing I felt was a heavy slap on the left side of my face, throwing my head backward and unfortunately, hitting the wall behind me. From there, it went blank again.
I cried out again when someone doused me with cold water. “You gotta stop doing that! It’s freezing out here!” I yelled at whoever did this nonsense.
“Really?” The person laughed.
Wait, I recognized that voice… “Rosa?” I asked in disbelief.
A series of maniacal chuckles ensued, sending chills down my spine. This girl is a fucking psycho! Javier was right about her. I should have listened when he warned me.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Please Rosa, let me go.” I pleaded amidst the shivering of my skin and lips.
She snapped her finger and someone else pulled off the blindfold, I could recognize those filthy hands anytime. They must belong to the man from earlier… disgusting pig!
My eyes took time to adjust to the bright light. “Rosa… what did I do to deserve this, I never did anything to hurt you.”
She yanked my hair and I yelped. “You were just at the wrong place at the wrong time, Javier should have never fallen in love with you!”
“But-But you said you have moved on.”
She pulled away her hand, as her shoulders shook with laughter. “You are so fucking innocent, didn’t you Mama and Papa tell you not to believe everything a stranger tells you?”
I sighed. “Please, Rosa, Javier is gone. You saw how mad at me he was, he ain’t coming back.”
She knelt beside me. “Nah Nah, Uh-uh, you don’t know Javier like I do. He rarely leaves. I know this because he and I were together for six years. He always found his way back to me even after a big fight. I know he will come for you.”
I digested her words. “What then? What do you want me for?”
“You’ll see. But for now, be a good little girl and my henchman may let you taste his meat.” She giggled sarcastically and disappeared into the exit, and I focused on the sunlight entering through the window.
Out of curiosity, I looked up to see the man standing there. He was just as I imagined: unkempt beards that had grown down to his chest, long untidy hair, giantlike height, body inching towards the fat side-and eyes stoned as fuck.
He looked down at me with a hint of excitement in his hazel eyes. Then out of nowhere, he unbuckled his belt and unzipped his pants. He dug his hand into the space between his unfastened zip and pulled out an enormous anaconda of a dick. Now, I see why Rosa used the word ‘meat’
I moved my head backward. “What is wrong with you?!”
He gripped my hair and forced me to look at his endowment. “If you don’t suck my dick, I’ll kill you!”
