WHEN DID IT STARTED.

Chapter 11- The request.

Chapters 11

I got home around fifteen minutes past eight and saw my car parked in front of my gate, I didn't bother to know who it was, because if it wasn't my boss, then no one would do such a thing.

" So how was it," my mom asked as I entered the sitting room.

" Hmm, it's fun, we had a lot of fun" I replied but didn't mention the part that I had to go to the restroom to cry my eyes out, due to my traumatic attack.

" Mom, I'm really tired, I have to go to bed, I don't want to go to work late tomorrow. You know that my boss might even fire me for that, so I don't want to take that risk" I said trying my possible best to stop her from asking me why I look plain. I might be able to deceive Lisa and Henry, but I can't deceive my Mom. She will know before I even start.

" Good night honey!!" my Mom said as she planted a good night kiss on my cheek.

" Good night Mom" I replied.

I went inside my room and sat down on my bed. All the events that happen today started playing on my head. The event of how my boss kisses that lady earlier today, the way they were....... no no no I can't think about it, I scold myself. But Damm!!! I can't believe that he allowed that lady to kiss his pink lip roughly.

I got up from my bed and went straight to the bathroom, I need to take a cool bath.

I didn't have a bathtub, which I will have someday when I start staying in my own dream house.

I on the shower and let the water sock my body. The water is so cold and I just put my hands on my hair, as I remember the fun time I had this night, with Emma, Henry, and Lisa.

I got out of the bathroom and wrap my pink towel on my tiny body. I took another pink towel and wrap it around my head. I put on my pink slippers that are full of fur. I love pink a lot, I don't know why but pink has been my favorite color since childhood.

I lay down on my bed like a start fish and drift into sleep.

......

......

.......

"Remove your hands from me, please I'm begging you, you are hurting me," I said as a strong hand was placed on top of me. The owner of the hand wasn't ready to remove his hands from me, and his fingers were already Piercing me, I am in so much pain. I try to free from the person but to no avail.

"Please let go", I said as tears were rolling non-stop from my eyes. The person's lips attacked my lip without mercy, I can perceive the smell of liquor from the person, I know the person is highly intoxicated, and one thing that didn't escape my mind was that I am having a nightmare again. It felt so real, but my mind kept screaming ' Wake up '.

I knew that if I didn't wake up now, I might pass out, the nightmare is attacking me, it's eating me, and I know that it's now or never.

His lips were still on my mouth, and his tongue has already dive inside my mouth, forcing his way through.

" Nooooooooooooo!!!! " I screamed out, holding my pillow like if I am about to crush it, I didn't know what's happening, but I feel like I am soaked in a pool, my bed is wet from the heat and tears from my body.

"Baby can I come in", my mom asked, while knocking at my door.

I cleared my voice, before replying to her, I don't want her to start blaming herself, for what's happening to me.

"Mom, please don't worry, I am fine," I said.

"Darling are you..... okay, just go back to bed okay, and don't think a lot," my mom said. I know she is holding back because she wanted to talk to me. I know she's feeling hurt hearing me scream, but if she sees me like this, she will be more than hurt.

I got up from my bed and drank a glass of water, before sprinkling some water on my face.

' It's just a nightmare, and you are strong ' I encourage myself before going back to bed.

I got up very early the next day. luckily my alarm clock had to do its job of waking me up. I took my bath, but this time around, it was a hot bath.

I put on a pair of black pency jeans trousers, a black polo that has a white cube drawn at the front, which is meant as a design. I put on my brown cover shoe and sat beside my dressing mirror. I still have black circles around my eyes, due to my useless traumatic attack. I didn't want to add makeup to my face, because I don't fancy makeup, I applied some brown powder on my face and grab my sunglasses, before heading to the sitting room.

"I will be taking my leave now Mom," I said as I grab my car keys from the table, I didn't get a reply from my Mom, which is strange. I raise my head, to look for my mom when I saw her in her working uniform. my Mom was putting on a white plain gown with a white cover shoe. She wore her white hat, and silver ball earrings, which complemented her silver necklace.

She doesn't need to tell me where she is going to, because I knew she is going to work.

"Shall we?" my mom said while smiling as she exposes her elderly white teeth.

"You look so cute Mom, you look like someone that isn't married," I said while stretching my hands for her to take.

"Thanks, honey, so you better expect suitors here every time" my mom replied while a devilish smile plastered on her face.

I dropped her at her working place, while I went straight to Alex's compound. I didn't bother to horn, because I don't want to end up being...I just can't think of where I would end up, once I pack my car in his compound.

I parked my car outside, and opened the door, it seems like they were already expecting me because the small gate was already opened. His gate is black and beautiful, it is very big, tall and neat. his gate doesn't have a design on it, but who are you kidding, you don't need someone to tell you that the gate worth millions because for me it does.

I walk inside his compound, and I saw a young man, cleaning his garden, the young man seems to be my age mate, he is fair, handsome, and tall. He wore a black jacket, black trousers, and white inner-wear.

"Good day sir" I greeted, I didn't mind putting ' SIR ' while greeting him, for who knows, he might be older than me but have a small status.

"Good morning ma" he replied, not staring at me.

I nod my head before walking inside the house.

I entered inside the house but it turns out to be very quiet, it seems like no one is here, due to the absolute decorum. The house is quite big, I haven't walked to every part of the house, the only place I have visited is my boss's bedroom, the visitor's toilet, and the kitchen. I planned on walking around the house when I came to the house yesterday, but Cloe didn't allow me to leave her presence yesterday.

"Hello!!!, is anyone home" I blurted out. I like the way I could hear myself back, because of the way it echoes back. " Hello, Hello, Hello," I said as I suddenly start grinning like a small kid. "Wow, this is so cool, I feel like I'm in a horror movie," I said as I started repeating the word ' Hello '.

" Hello, is anyone ....." I couldn't finish my statement, because I felt someone's hands covering my mouth.

" Anna, please keep quiet, this isn't a horror movie, please jeez!!! where do you come from? " Alex said, while he pressed me to his body.

I nod my head and push him far away from me. " What are you doing??" I asked him because of how close he pushes me to his body.

" Nothing, I didn't do anything, and why do you think that I am doing something," Alex asked, while a frown was plastered on his face, there were already three long lines on his forehead.

" I'm sorry, it's just that you were so close to me, and it just doesn't feel right " I replied while looking down.

" Hmm!! so you think I am going to do something with you, like...." Before he could complete his words I quickly cut him off. " No sir, I didn't think of anything like that " I replied with a fearful voice.

" You should have at least allow me to complete my statement, Anna because I need your help right now," Alex said.

" What type of help are you talking about, " I asked. Just by the tone he used in saying that he needs my help, I suddenly felt like running from here. This is the first time my boss was so close to me, and now he's talking to me calmly. Even though he's not being cold, I can still feel my body freezing from his touch and words.

" I want you to act like..... 'My Girlfriend ' " he stated.

My eyes were all in a display, but still, I couldn't comprehend what I just heard, I pierce my skin first, just to make sure that I am not dreaming or accumulating any kind of * bullshit *. My eyes were wide open and in a display, I shake my head, while telling myself that this is all an illusion.

" Anna, I am serious, I need someone to be my girlfriend " he stated again, but this time his voice was bold and firm.

" Why are you desperate for a girlfriend ", I asked.

" Hmm.... my parents want me to visit them, it's their anniversary, I didn't attend their last anniversary, because I lied to them that my girlfriend is sick, I also didn't want to attend this one, but they insist I do, and they also insist that I bring my girlfriend along ". Alex said in one go, while his eyes were pleading for me to go.

" Sir if you don't mind me asking, why is it that you want me to be your girlfriend, whereas you already have a girlfriend, why don't you ask your girlfriend to follow you? " I asked, looking at him with the eyes that say ' Go and ask your babe to follow you '. Because if mister Alex thinks he is wise to fool me into falling into his trap, then he must be mistaken.

" I don't have a girlfriend, I can't possibly have one girl to satisfy me, or just to make it easier, I haven't find the right girl yet, but don't worry, after today, you can go back to being my cook, and if they ask of you, I will find something else to cover it, " Alex said, not even being bothered by what is coming out of his mouth.

"Please, I don't beg people, but I need a girl like you to be my girlfriend for now, since you are usually free with people, I don't mind taking you like my fake girlfriend, " Alex said while using his own hands to scatter his hair.

I know that before my cold boss asks for something like this from me, then he is Damm serious. There can never be any harm in trying, and besides I need to feel how being a girlfriend feels like, even though it is for a day, I would still be grateful for the experience.

" Hmm, okay I'll be your fake girlfriend, just for today," I said while pooping my cheeks up.
