The Gamer

Chapter 9 - Part Two

In those 4 years of living in Los Angeles I had accumulated a lot of stuff. I had a lot of books and comics, movies and CDs, but fortunately, few clothes. It would have been difficult to move the wardrobe I had in San Francisco, it was a real blessing that I had only gone out of the house a few times and didn't need a lot of clothes and shoes. It took me the whole morning just to empty and sort the entire bookcase into the boxes and the whole afternoon just to get the rest out of the closets. The moving truck would arrive the next day at 9 and was certainly waiting for me a whole night to arrange boxes.

Even today, I waited in vain for an answer from Oz and I waited for him for the event, but he did not show up and I, together with a small group of players who had not yet gone on holiday for Christmas, entered to bring down the god of ice, Christmas-themed dressed. It was I who landed the last blow, so I was able to distance the Destructor a lot.

I only allowed myself a couple of hours, after the event, to sleep and then I went back to putting everything in the boxes. Hard days in San Francisco were waiting for me, but at least now I had a way out and I was glad I had it.

At 9 o'clock, the worker from the moving company came to take the packages and with a happy thought, I locked the door of the apartment in which I had lived all that time and I got ready for a new life. I hadn't toured the city much, I preferred to stay indoors and play, but sooner or later I would go back to doing it.

With my backpack over my shoulder, I headed for the train station to go home. It took more than 8 hours to get back to San Francisco and I could finally get some sleep. I had already booked the flight to New York on January 2nd and booked a hotel near the Sidereal Shadow headquarters for that night. The only thing I missed was to announce it to my parents at the party that was being made for me tomorrow night and it was done. No combined dates from my mother to find a boyfriend and no jobs found by my father. I can decide for myself from now on. I also had to thank Samael when I could, also hoping that sooner or later she would reply to my messages. Since my graduation I have had no news and I missed him a little.

Late in the afternoon, I got off the train and finally breathed the air of San Francisco.

My mother was already waiting for me at the station with the car full of things for me. It was convenient for her to buy me clothes for the parties, but most of the time they didn't really respect my taste. I liked simple things, but she was quite the opposite.

In my room, I stared at the pile of brand-new clothes and, finally, after years of extravagant things, I found a simple black dress. It was also fantastic that I was happy for so little. I had dinner with my parents, who explained the plans for the party and then went back to my princess room to try to take a long sleep. I had told Janny about Samael's miracle, omitting certain details and specifying that I could not talk about what I was doing due to contract issues, and she had been really happy for me. She was a little shocked at what he had done as top player number 1 for me. Usually he was a mister heart of ice with everyone. Instead, with me, it seemed quite another thing. Unfortunately, we had to postpone our vacation, but it was better that way for now.

Late at night I woke up to the vibration of the phone. Oz sent me an audio.

" I hope you have accepted the job. I personally chose the vibrators and I would like to deliver them to you in person " that sexy voice of him was giving me torment.

" Yes, I accepted. I can't wait to try them " I replied, sleepily.

" Other requests for me before going back to sleep? " he asked, softly.

" Tomorrow I have a party in my honor. Could you let me escape if my parents didn't like the new job? I have a tight dress, no horses or motorbikes, it would be appreciated to escape in the car " I answered.

" Ok. Write to me and I'll arrive. I would really like to see your tight dress " he said, laughing.

" I'll send you a photo tomorrow "

" I’m still waiting ".

I closed the chat and went back to sleep.

I was awakened late in the morning by the noise of people arranging the garden for the party.

I got off in my pajamas and went into the kitchen to find something to eat. The catering, fortunately, had not yet occupied that place. My house, during the preparations for the events, became a real hell.

" Good morning darling, there are croissants on the counter if you are hungry " My mother said, seeing me staring inside the fridge.

I took some coffee and milk and ate a brioche filled with cream.

" Will there be many people today? " I asked.

" Some friends with their children. You know most of them " she replied.

" Ah " I exclaimed.

Surely, I should have dealt with a hundred of them.

" Are you still trying to arrange me some meetings? " I asked, annoyed.

" Of course I do, I have your future in my heart. I don't want you to spend your life alone " she replied.

She wasn't all wrong, but I didn't have the slightest desire to take the road that she was putting me in the way. I sighed and refrained from telling her about the trip to New York.

I spent the rest of the morning staring at the workers setting up a large awning in the garden and secretly eating the food that the caterer was preparing. If it weren't for the hundreds of people I was supposed to meet, I would have sat by the pool to eat, not caring about everything that was going on around me. Instead, I had to think about what to tell the guests about my new job and how I got it. I read the various messages on the game chat from the phone and wrote something futile to Janny, as always. In the afternoon, I relaxed in the bathtub and then I painted my nails. I haven't taken care of myself like this in some time. I wore an elegant strapless lace bodysuit and put on a tight little black dress, along with the 10 heel shoes. I put on makeup and styled my hair to look softer and fluffier. I had put on the heartbreaker outfit and had to admit that it suited me divinely. I took a picture in the mirror and sent it to Oz.

He answered me immediately after, with an audio.

" Remember that you belong to me now. Behave well " he said.

He said it in such a sexy way that my underwear gets wet under my lingerie.

" We'll see " I replied, laughing.

" Behave well or I'll come and get you, I'll put you on my lap and spank you hard enough to leave marks " he replied seriously.

I don't know why, but violent s*x has always inspired me. I often watched b**m videos and variations and always promised myself that sooner or later I would try.

" Stop provoking like this or I will really have to find someone who satisfies me tonight " I replied, in the same tone as him.

" So you would like to be spanked by me? " he asked.

" You are making me late to the party on my honor and I will not answer you. Made lots of m**********g thinking about me. I will do it as soon as you have given me the vibrators " I replied.

I sat down on the bed and waited for her answer, while the hustle and bustle of the guests began to be felt.

" You made me hard, I'll come to the photos you sent me. And then I'll c*m into that disobedient mouth of yours when I have you within range " he replied, with a hoarse voice.

He was horny and it made me feel good to provoke him like that.

" I'll have to learn to run then, so I can run away from you "

" You would not be able to. Too late to escape "

" I have to go Oz, good saw " I replied.

" I imagine you already wet for me ... have fun, but remember that your master is me now "

" You only have my soul " I replied, amused.

" Just a little amount of time " he replied, with his sexier voice.

I closed the chat, put the phone in the nightstand drawer and headed for the party. Because of Oz, I was now soaking wet.

My parents had invited more people than I thought. Everyone complimented me on the splendid results and tried to guess my future prospects. There were those who bet that I would follow my father's footsteps, while others ventured strange careers that I would never have thought of. Oddly enough, there were also many girls my age with whom I had conversed about the usual futile things. The hottest topics were boys, fashion shows and how well my dress fit me. One even asked me what diet I was on to keep my figure, I wanted to answer her beer and video games, but I stopped myself in time. There were also many beautiful boys, my mother had selected them well, all different from each other. At least that way I couldn't say that I hadn't found anyone to my taste. What my mother did not know is that she had to select them also for the type of voice, only Oz's had the power to excite me. If I found him liking even in the real world, it would have been my real undoing.

" Are you staying in San Francisco? " asked a boy, blond and with the accent of someone who had lived the last few years in France.

" Not for long. Only for the holidays " I replied, eating a canapé.

The fact of not being able to come made me hungry. Damn Oz!

" We could organize something with the others and go to drink together " he proposed.

" Why not, we could all go and drink together " answered another.

Instead, he fully embodied the Californian style. He was very tanned, too much for my taste.

" Yes, we could do it, when you want " I replied, I already knew that I would have invented an excuse at the last.

I escaped from the group of girls and boys my age and went to the buffet to eat something.

A guy I hadn't seen in years came up to me to chat.

" Hey, you made yourself beautiful " he exclaimed.

We had all been through high school in class together. It was also because of him that I had lost the desire to go out with the boys and lock myself in the house.

" Thanks " I replied, coldly.

" Would you like to go out with me and the boys later? "

" No, thanks. I'm still tired of the last few weeks " I refused.

" Tomorrow? " he asked.

I was bothered by his insistence.

" Not even "

" Don't you want to go out with me? " he asked boldly.

" Why should I? " I asked, annoyed.

" I thought there was something tender between us once "

" No, there isn’t " I replied, coldly.

" It could be now " he said, approaching her hand to caress my arm.

His gross touch disgusted me and I pulled away quickly.

" I feel with someone and I'm not interested in you " actually I felt with someone.

" Ah. I know him? " he asked, curious.

" No, it is not around here " I replied dryly and headed quickly to the other guests.

Jonathan Martin might have been my first crush and I had been quite upset knowing why he wanted to go out with me. I would not have made the same mistake again. I had stopped believing in people and I was holed up in videogames also because of him. Annoyed, I started drinking a few glasses of champagne, waiting for the final toast at which I would announce my work in New York.

I heard more talk about the stock exchange and some scandals that had happened in the city, ate several canapés and still drank a lot. I was almost tipsy when my dad called me for the toast before the cake, but it didn't matter much: I was about to get my bitchy gamer side.

" I would like to make a toast in honor of my daughter and the splendid future that awaits her " said my father, holding his arm on my shoulder.

I toasted and finally began my speech.

" I wanted to make an announcement tonight. One thing I haven't told anyone yet " I said, attracting the attention of the crowd.

I looked at them one by one for a few seconds and then spoke in a firm voice.

" I will move to New York soon for work. An important company has evaluated my resume and offered me to work as their consultant " I said.

They had really evaluated a resume, but that of a gamer. It wasn't a lie, it was just an omission. I was getting good at that by now.

To the applause, I heard my mother ask me which company.

" The Sidereal Shadow " I announced.

It was a video game company for the most part, but in the financial field it was quite famous for its great deals in different fields. As one of the guests told me later, they also had several properties around the United States and were becoming a leader in various fields. I had made a great deal working for them and my parents couldn't obstacle my work as a consultant. This last thing was also an omission, since I would have been a videogames consultant and tester. I had become an evil genius. As soon as I got back to the room, I laughed at it.

I undressed and took my cell phone in my hand. Oz had sent me an audio in which he asked me how I was doing.

" The job announcement went well. For the rest of the usual things, talks between girls and boys who have tried with me. That's all " I answered with an audio.

I took off my make-up and put on my pajamas. Oddly for the time, Oz hadn't been long in answering.

" Tell me about those who have tried with you " he said with an audio.

He sounded annoyed by his voice. Was he jealous? Of what then? We joked, but in the end we never even met.

" Nothing special. Usual idiots. Shouldn't you be sleeping at this time? " I answered with an audio.

" I have a different time zone here. Come on tell me "

" Nothing special. Someone with whom I almost went out a while ago tried with me and I refused him. I had to play the excuse that I felt with someone " I replied, dry.

" It's not an excuse, you feel me " he exclaimed, with an irritated voice.

" How touchy you are tonight. We don't know each other yet. I don't even know what your face is "

" You promised me your soul and it is enough for you to say that you are committed " he replied seriously.

Now I was really starting to worry.

" Are you jealous? " I asked, trying to change the subject.

" No ".

From the answer it was clear that he had lied.

" Before acting like this, we should know each other better, you know ?! " I said grimly.

" We know each other "

" In a game, we know each other in a game. You know what I look like, but I don't know what you are like. Look, I'm tired and I want to go to sleep. Calm down a bit and then we'll talk about it "

" We will meet soon "

" It seems a threat to how you said it "

" Sorry, I'm just a little jealous. You're a beautiful girl, dozens of men will throw themselves at your feet. I can't wait to meet you " he replied, snorting.

" Me too, but you scare me when you do this. We will see you in a place with many people where, for sure, you will not be able to kidnap, rape, beat me or anything else " I replied, laughing.

" You do not know about men, right? " he asked, laughing.

I had managed to calm him down and now he was back to being the usual Oz.

" Who knows? I'm going to sleep now. I am really exhausted. Good night Oz " I said.

" Good night, Ashe " he replied.

Damn, maybe I had gotten myself into bad trouble.
