THE BAD BOY'S OBSESSION - CHAPTER 11&12
❃You can’t leave me, Fina!❃
“I did it. Got a problem with that?” The owner of the voice said again, approaching them.
Franco’s brows furrows in a frown on seeing the person that talked.
“You?”
“Yes, me” The person replied confidently on getting to them.
“And why would you, the last time I checked you f-__-k men of your kind” Franco said a bit rudely.
“Well then, maybe she’s an exception” Billy shrugs, confusing the Franco more.
“Billy, why are you here by this time?” Posefina cuts in now, facing Billy.
“I was in the neighborhood, I got worried about you so I decided to stop by. I saw Franco when he was tottering inside the house, i called after him but seems he was too deaf to hear. I followed him and listened to your conversation so far…does that answer your question?” Billy asked.
“Did you really give her the hickeys Billy?” Franco asked again, his burning gaze on him.
“Listen Franco, wherever she got the hickeys from is none of your business. She’s a grown up woman who can manage her life so quit the unnecessary annoying questions. Does she question you when you f-__-k ladies around?” Billy folds him arms, giving him a questioning look.
“Franco, you look wasted. How about we talk tomorrow, you should go to bed for now” Posefina said softly to him.
“Wh@??ver” He sounded annoyed as he began tottering away from them.
He almost fell but Posefina held his arm before he could.
“Let go of me!” He releases himself from her grip roughly, staggering away from there. Posefina watches him leave with a sigh.
“Are you okay girl?” Billy asked behind her and she rubs her forehead in exasperation.
*. *. *
“So I guess, he gave you that, Franco’s younger brother?” Billy asked Posefina after they settled in her room. She kept mute with her head lowered, Billy took that as a yes.
“Why didn’t you resist him?”
“I did! I tried to Billy, I really wanted to but_”
“But what?” Billy interrupted her.
“But you couldn’t? Posefina you couldn’t?? Do you know what that means? Do you really want him that badly for you to just allow him have his way with you everytime!”
“You don’t understand. You think i want this also? I also so much want him off my neck! I wish he could just stop also! I didn’t ask for any of this too but strangely everytime he touches me I feel… I feel so weak and it’s so f-__-king annoying! I don’t want him to but when he keeps doing it, I just find myself… succumbing. Like I’m foolishly hypnotized by him”She mutters frustrated.
“If I’m to get your point straight Posefina, you…lust after him?”
“No i_”
“Don’t give me trash! You can’t resist his touch. You enjoyed it even though you tried not to. You wanted it also you’re f-__-king lusting after him!” Billy cuts in sternly.
“I…” She sighs out.
“You’re crazy Posefina! You’re in love with Franco aren’t you?”
“Yes I am” She replied solemnly.
“So, you love one brother and lust after the other? Can you hear yourself??”
“I’m a crazy ?îtçh…I know. I’m crazy…” She mutters, her eyes gathering tears.
Billy watch her for a while then sighs.
“You have to stop this Fina, before it gets more out of hand. Tell Franco” Billy adviced.
“What?” She snaps her head to him.
“Come clean to him. You see how crazy he was earlier when he saw those hickeys on in your neck, he might have feelings for you too, I’m suspecting that…”
“No he…I can’t tell him. He’ll get angry and_”
“You should have expected that when you slept with his younger brother. You don’t expect him to be happy with that. And also, do you want to continue having some immoral relationship with his brother while living and smiling with him everyday??” Billy raised a brow.
“What if…what if h@??s me? No… he’ll surely h@?? me Billy, I don’t think I’ll be able to handle that…I don’t want to lose Franco…” She shook her head, with the tears freely falling now.
“If you don’t really wanna lose him then you have to tell him and also, ends things with that boy. Once and for all… don’t stall it any longer Fina.” Billy says firmly.
She kept her head down, still crying slowly.
Billy pulled her into his arms.
“You’ve got to do this Posefina, before things get out of hand. Stop it now before it all boomerang on you, okay?” He says, while Posefina just sniffs in his embrace.
Billy sighs out.
“Poor you… just how did you get yourself into this mess…”
NEXT MORNING.
Franco groans on waking up, with his head banging madly. He held it as he sat up the bed grudgingly.
Just on the small desk by his bed was a glass of honey tea placed there, he need no soothsayer to tell him who placed it there.
He took the glass cup and gulped down the honey water in a go.
“Arrhh…” He dig his fingers into his hair, running it through it roughly as if it’d take the banging away.
Posefina finished cooking the hangover she had made for Franco’s and was about go calling him when Franco himself came downstairs, ruffling his hair.
He stopped on his motion when he came face to face with Posefina who was heading to the stairs also.
Both stopped, staring at each other for a while.
Franco looks over to her neck, he could remember what happened the other night clearly, he clearly saw love bites on her neck which made him act out.
However, she was in hoodie so he couldn’t see a sight of it anymore.
“I was on my way to you, come on I made some hangover soup” She said to him when he wouldn’t say a word and the air was getting real awkward.
“Come on” She began walking back to the kitchen. Without saying a word, Franco followed her behind like a lost sheep.
He took his seat on the chair and she serves him the soup.
“Stefan?” He asked after a while.
“I think he’s going to sleep in, I knocked on the door but he wouldn’t answered” She replied and he nods.
He took a spoonful of the soup.
“It’s good. Thanks” He mumbles and she gave him a small smile.
“Then I’m gonna be in my room” She says.
“Aren’t you eating?” He asked.
“I’ll fix something later, I’m not hungry for now. Enjoy” She said and began walking away, but he stood holding her hand back. Before she could say a word, he hugged her, his arms engulfing her tightly.
“I’m sorry” He mutters. She says nothing.
“I was being sensitive last night. I shouldn’t have reacted that way to you” He said to her then disengage.
“About the hic_”
“It’s okay. You don’t need to explain…I would be a jerk if I demand an explanation of where you get it. I’m not your Dad or your boyfriend, there’s no reason for you to explain it to me” He cuts her in.
Posefina felt relived but at the same time sad at what he said.
Does that mean he doesn’t care?
It didn’t affect him at all?
“Thanks…” She mutters almost incoherently.
“But is everything okay, you rarely drink?” She asked.
“Of course…” He smiles.
“Just felt like taking some drinks last night. Did Billy stayed long?” He asked back.
“No, he left almost immediately. The soup will get cold, go have it” She said to him.
“Since you haven’t had breakfast, how about we just have it outside?” He suggested
“Then I’ll let Stefan know”
“No. Just the two of us. We were supposed to go on a date today remember?” He says whilst she feign oblivion.
“Right? That was today??” She asked.
“Yeah, so go get ready. I have something important to tell you later” He pushes her lightly to the stairs.
“Ohhh okay…if you say so…” She took in her lower lip, ascending the stairs.
Franco smiles out cutely as he watches her, he tuck his hands in his pockets and keeps staring at her, till she was no more in sight.
Then he went back to the soup, gobble it up before rushing to his room also to get ready.
*
*
*
The two sat in a fancy restaurant, somehow awkward, ever since their orders has been taken few minutes ago, they’ve been in silence, Posefina playing with her fingers and Franco looking around as if he’s looking for something.
Franco’s phone started ringing and he took a look at the caller ID, it was Reena calling.
He ignored it and faces Posefina who’s already looking at him. He offers her a smile.
“Won’t you pick that up?” She asked.
“It’s nothing…” He smiles back.
“Okay then…” She brought her eyes down to her intertwined fingers.
“Actually I have something to say”
“I have something to say” Both announced at the same time. Fina looks back up to him and they both couldn’t help giggling.
“You go first” Franco says.
“No, you do. Mine can wait” She said.
What she has to say is something that might ended up ending their long time friendship since it’s obvious he’ll be very displeased with it.
So it’s better she hears his first, before she ruins the mood with hers.
“Erm Fina…” He brought his hands on the table, gesturing to hers. She reluctantly and shly brought hers also, and he held them on the table, rubbing it slowly and gently.
“I don’t know how this may sounds to you, you might be probably shocked and speechless…but… trust me it takes me a lot of courage to do this, I’ve thought hard and long about it and I think I’ve prolonged it too much, and it’s eating me up everytime… Fina…” He calls, his voice filled with different emotions, his affectionately eyes stayed glued to hers.
She swallowed nothing, her heartbeat suddenly throbbing hard.
“Fina i_”
“Congratulations ma’am and Sir, happy anniversary” Three waiters suddenly said to them, clapping and popping confinti.
They both divert their attention to them in confusion.
“Anniversary? What anniversary?” Fina asked in surprise but Franco was just as surprised as her.
“I think you’re mistaken but we_”
“Baby?” They heard another familiar voice and looks forward to see Reena, approaching with a cake in her hand.
“Reena?” Both stood up.
“Congratulations to us baby, happy four years anniversary” She leans closer pecking his cheek.
“Reena what’s all this?” He asked unfriendly.
“I called you but you didn’t picked up, but who knows you’re here already. I thought you forgot about how we celebrate our couple anniversary here everytime but guess you didn’t” She drops the cake on the table and stays by his side linking arms with him.
“But I see you brought Posefina along, though it was unnecessary” She smiles. Franco looks over to Fina who had a shocked expression on.
Was this what he wanted to tell her?
That he’s back with Reena officially?
“Fina i_”
“I…I guess I shouldn’t be here. Congrats to you two. I’ll leave first” She grabbed her bag and began leaving, Franco made to follow her but Reena grabbed him back.
“The candles are melting, let’s blow it off” She said to him.
“Let go of me Reena?” He gruffs slowly.
“You wouldn’t leave me here alone with this people would you? They did all this to celebrate us remember?” She whispers back and he looks to the waiters and people smiling at them.
“Now let’s blow the candles together sweetie…”She smiles sweetly.
HOME.
Posefina took a deep breath on getting to Stefan’s door.
She had made up her mind to end everything once and for all.
She’s done dancing to his tune and it’s only right she stops this madness before it gets out of hand.
She’s just done with everything.
Franco toying with her feelings and Stefan fooling around with her as he wants.
It felt like she was just being played by the two brothers.
She felt like a total fool.
After knocking several times, the door finally opens revealing Stefan who held a blank look on as usual.
His eyes pierce into hers for some moments and she looks away strangely unable to keep eye contact with him.
What’s wrong with her suddenly?
He walks away from the door to his desk taking a seat there. She walks in slowly.
“What do you want, Miss Fina?” His bored voice asked her, and she swallowed mustering up her courage.
“Stefan listen cause I’m only going to say this once” She said. He creases his brow.
“For the umpteenth time I apologized for what happened the other night. It shouldn’t have happened at all and I regret it a lot. I would like if you would forget about it now and move on with your life cause I’m certainly doing the same. Stop trying to do any $h|t with me anymore cause I’m not just gonna stand and watch you do that anymore. I would like if you respect your lane now Stefan. You’re my younger brother and you’ll be nothing more than that” She says, with an unwavering gaze.
He frowns and stood, walking to her.
“You can’t just cut me off like this, Fina” He said gruffly.
“Yes I am and I will. I don’t want anything to do with you Stefan. Nothing”
“You don’t possibly think I’ll let you go just because of what you said?”
“You have to cause if you don’t, then I’ll just leave myself. I’ll leave Stefan and you’ll never set your eyes on me again”
“No! You can’t do that to me. You can’t leave me Fina, even if you try to or should, I’ll follow you. I’ll find you. I’ll make sure to get you back. Don’t even try it Fina cause I’ll chase you till the end of the world if I have to”
“What?”
“How do you want me to make you understand Fina, I can’t let you go. I want you close to me always and every f-__-king thing about you drives me insane. You can never leave me, cause I won’t allow that. ”
“No… I’m leaving and that’s final. You can’t stop me Stefan. If you won’t desist from me then there’s no other choice for me. I won’t continue let you do as you pleases with me. Never!” She made to exit the room but he grabbed her back.
“Even if I beg you not to, will you still leave?” He asked softly this time around, his eyes staring deeply into hers.
“I’m sorry Stefan, but I can’t do this with you. You’re impossible…” She shook her head, he held both her shoulders.
“Then, how about you play a game with me?” He said.
“A game?”
“The loser do what the winner wants without any complain. If you win, I’ll back away from you like you want but if I do, you do what I want. How about that?” He deadpan.
She thought about it for a while, it might actually be the best thing to do since she doesn’t seem like he’ll let her go easily.
“But only if I get to choose the game” She said back.
“Your call” He replied, she smirks mischievously.
“Oh, Stefan, you just dug your own grave. This bet, I’m surely winning” She thought proudly to herself.
“What’s the game?” He asked.
“Let’s go just on a round of chess” She said making him frowns.
Of course she chose that intentionally, knowing fully well he h@??s the game and he’s bad at it.
For her, she’s a pro. She has actually learnt it from her father at such a young age before he passes.
She has played it many times with Franco and she always ended up winning, as for Stefan, he doesn’t play it at all, saying he just h@??s it.
“Chess?” He repeated after her.
“Yes chess. We’re playing the game of chess, try your luck. Remember if you can beat me then… you win” She smirks.
*. *. *
For almost five minutes now they’ve been on the game playing, at first Posefina was full of confidence and was literally grinning when they started the game but now, her confidence is all gone and her face speaks of worries entirely.
She had expected a different outcome from the game. Like Stefan losing few minutes to the game but surprisedly, he countered all her attacks, playing the game smartly with her.
She doesn’t know how things got wrong, she was positive Chess wasn’t his thing but how come he suddenly became so good at it?
Sweats breaks down on her forehead as she gets cornered in the game.
There was no more way out for her.
But she mustn’t lose. She must win at all cost.
She had even tried cheating not once but thrice but still, she got cornered.
“What will you do? I think it’s obvious what the end is already…” He said to her while she slowly raises her gaze to him.
“I thought you h@??d chess” She says.
“I still do”He replied.
“Then why are you suddenly so good at it? You always lost whenever you play with Franco then” She said again.
“I always lost cause I wasn’t interested in playing with him then. He always forced me and I had no choice but to do what he wants then. I’m not suddenly so good, I just didn’t tried my best at it” He replied accurately, she couldn’t help scoffing.
“You scammed me!” She stood up from the bed she was actually sitting.
“I didn’t Fina, you chose the game and even cheated many times, I said nothing about that did I?” He said back.
“Still… it’s unfair. I had no idea you’re so good at it. You deceived me”
“Don’t even try to wiggle yourself out of this. I won which means you’re granting a wish of mine”
“I…” She held unto the sleeves of her clothes tightly.
“This was your plan all along, wasn’t it?”
“Maybe…”
“@$$h0le” She mutters.
“What do you want from me?” She breathes out anticipating for one of the ridiculous requests ever.
Wh@??ver he may want, she knows surely well, it can’t be good.
“It’s simple” He said simply.
“I want you to do a Strip dance. Right here at this moment” He announced getting her eyes widened.
“No f-__-king way!!” She exclaimed hugging herself.
She knew it. His request would surely be something ludicrous.
“I’m ain’t doing that $h|t for you” She grits
“You promised Fina”
“Well I don’t care! I won’t strip myself naked for you Stefan! Never!” She declared hotly.
“Don’t be ridiculously unfair Fina, you won’t like it if I get mad I promise you. Do it or you do it the hard way” He warns, his voice laid with seriousness.
She took a few steps back, her eyeballs dilating in their sockets.
She knew clearly well she can’t escape it also, and fighting with him is useless. It’ll only make things worse.
Once again now, she has landed herself into another trouble.
“Stefan… please. Can you make me do something else…I…I really can’t do that” She shakes her head.
“Then, you’re only left with one option left” He stood up, taking a step to her.
She swallowed nothing, looking up at him expectantly.
“Give me a b|__wj_b” He announced again, her jaw dropped in shock.
“Wh…what?” Her voice asked almost inaudible.
“Do a strip dance, or you give me a b|__wj_b, Fina.”
