Obsession: Obsession Part 19

"Welcome home darling." Crystal who never showed much emotion kissed Miranda on her cheek in a loving way.

"Hey guys..." That's it Miranda? Jesus you sound like you've lived off the street your whole life.

"Oh my! Is that who I think it is?" Leon's screech was heard as he made his way down the stairs.

"Hey girlfriend! Ooooh I love the urban look," he hugged her and spun her around.

"Leon, oh my G.o.d how are you?"

"I'm f.u.c.king fantastic baby, more to the point how are you?" He was pointing at her body up and down, "love that look, it says f.u.c.k the world." Miranda laughed.

"Language Leon" Crystal was grinning Miranda felt a little embarra.s.sed by the attention she was getting, she wore colorful leggings with black ankle boots, a white flowing singlet with a picture of a hand flipping the bird.

"Yes cla.s.sy," came Crystal's famous sarcasm.

"Mr. deAngelo dinner will be served in an hour." Maria informed them.

"Thank you Maria."

Alec watched the house come to life as soon as Miranda entered. She belonged there with him and that's all there is to it. He noticed Miranda was trying really hard to not allow her anxiety to take over. Having her feel so welcome eased a little of the tension.

The moment Toni came to greet him she did a double take as soon as she noticed Miranda. "Hey... Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

"Oh... Um, I thought I'd surprise you..." Alec watched as Toni embraced Miranda, Miranda was extremely awkward.

It seemed that Toni seemed a little maybe irritated by Miranda being here, it must be getting obvious to her that Alec's interest was a little more than friendly toward Miranda... Oh well the sooner she knew the sooner he could get on with what he wanted to do. She was clearly p.i.s.sed at the attention Miranda was getting. Staying so close to Alec like he would escape her. Alec had to tread lightly, Toni hadn't said much to Miranda. Miranda did not push, her guilt was obvious.

"Well come on Hun let's go to your room and organize a whole new wardrobe for you." Leon was always so excitable.

"Thanks Leon but I won't be staying for long." Miranda was avoiding Alec, afraid she had pushed too far.

"Oh you have a room?" came Toni's displeased voice.

"Miranda this is getting tiresome, go to your room and do as you're told." Alec voice left no room for argument.

"I've got clothes already..."

"Miranda!" Alec had enough, he stared her till she looked down and huffed her way up the stairs. A little like a brat but still adorable. Toni didn't seem to like that at all.

"Wow such a fuss for Mira." Toni wasn't happy. Alec took her hand and led her to the family room. Carlos went back to work and Crystal went to finish off in Alec's office.

"Come here," he dragged her on his lap. "You're p.i.s.sed?"

"We've only been home for a few days, you couldn't wait to see Mira! I love her to bits but I mean she's more at home here than I am and I'm your wife. Is there something I should know?"

"Toni..." He thought perhaps he should just tell her now, just do it... Say it and see what happens.

"Did you f.u.c.k her?" He drew in a deep breathe, here goes nothing.

"Yes Toni I f.u.c.ked her." With that Toni stared at him in disbelief. She began crying. "Baby..." He cuddled her to sooth her. "Shhhh" Yet her tears stirred nothing in Alec.

Was strange that only Miranda's tears made his l.u.s.t reach new heights. "Listen, it goes beyond just a f.u.c.k, I did not f.u.c.k her to hurt you, there is a history between her and I, I never said anything because, well I wanted you to marry me, I made sure she did not say anything to you also, she did not want to break your heart." He said as he lifted her chin.

Finally after she settled Toni looked at Alec with a heart wrenching look. This wasn't going well at all.

"Tell me... Tell me this history, how dumb am I? I had a feeling that there was more at play... I had a feeling, I knew it, tell me Alec did you f.u.c.k her while engaged to me? After we got married?" He ran a hand over his mouth.

"Yes. I am done lying to you, Toni sit down." He said to her when she moved of him. "I have been with Miranda for a while now, she left me the time you and her met. I found her, but that was after I fell in love with you, she had no idea." He lied about the after I fell in love with you bit.

"So what, you fell in love with me and f.u.c.k her? Why marry me? Do you know how humiliating this is? My best friend lied to me, betrayed me and f.u.c.ked my husband... I have been nothing but nice to her, I loved her like my sister and she f.u.c.ked you?" He could feel the hurt in her voice.

"It is a little more complicated than that."

"Oh what she felt guilty afterwards, did you, or did you happen to forget you are married? How many times did you f.u.c.k her after you met me?" He might as well come clean.

"Three or four times..." She nodded. "Toni, it is not like that, the thing is..."

"Does she know you are telling me this? Tell me does she know that you are coming clean, did she want you to tell me?" He honestly had no idea.

"No, she does not know, I am telling you this because I don't want to lie to you..." She gave him a sad bitter smile.

"So what now? Do we divorce?" He shook his head. This could work out in his favor, having her here and accepting of his relations.h.i.+p with Miranda might be just what the doctor ordered.

"Toni, do you want to divorce me?" She wiped her tears.

"I don't know, I don't know anything any longer. How am I supposed to take her being here, and you doing what you did?"

"Listen think about it, for a little while, don't act on rash decisions. Take it as it comes." Toni shook her head.

"You're asking for a lot there Alejandro...." She said walking away.

Dinner was awkward to say the least. Miranda sat beside Crystal and opposite Alec. Keeping her eyes down for most of the meal because she didn't want to witness the married couple act all lovingly toward each other. Toni seemed to be ignoring her, she had no idea what that was about, it was obvious that she did not want her to be here... And she had every right to feel that way. The guilt was eating her alive. She found it very hard to look at her.

"Um, Carlos would you be able to give me a lift home? I have to go to work early." Alec lifted his eyes. He raised an eyebrow.

"Miranda, I already told you, you stay here, Leon has set you up, you don't need to go home." She frowned not looking at Toni.

"I can't, I need to go home."

"Tough." That was Alec's way of saying shut the f.u.c.k up.

"Its fine Mira, Alec told me everything, no need to act all innocent like, I get it, your f.u.c.king my husband." Miranda felt her world freeze... He told her? Not being able to sit through another second of it...this was way too much After dinner Miranda excused herself and made her way to her room, she cried and cried after closing the door.

Showered and in a black satin nightie Miranda was ready for bed. Her day had been emotionally charged, all she wanted to do was sleep. Hopping into her bed, about to lay down when she heard a knock at the door. "Yeah?"

Toni walked in the room. Miranda was speechless. What the h.e.l.l did she want?

"Cozy set up Mira." Toni walked in and actually sat on her bed. "You enjoy ruining my marriage? f.u.c.king my husband and moving into my house." Miranda didn't know how to respond.

"Toni I don't know what Alec told you..."

"Oh he told me enough, you really had me fooled for a while, but you know what, it all makes sense now, your innocent act, you acting all victim like." Miranda did not want to do this.

"It's not like that, you don't understand, just hear me out." That earned her a bitter laugh.

"You know what I don't understand... I don't understand how my best friend did what she did to me... You and me..." Toni pointed at them both. "We are nothing. Forget we were ever friends... And listen carefully, I am not leaving my husband, you will stay the f.u.c.k away from him, go home." Miranda understood her anger but it was not Miranda's fault, she was angry also, this was not her fault.

"Toni, please leave my room... I can see that you're not going to hear me out. When you are ready to hear the full story you let me know, I owe you that much. But until then I cannot do this... I'm sorry, truly I am, but..."

"Your room? You have nothing here I'm Mrs. deAngelo not you." Okay bring it b.i.t.c.h "If you are Mrs. deAngelo than get your husband to send me home. Shouldn't be too difficult. I'm more than happy to leave, I have my own life away from here, this here is not real. In case you misread the fine print I want out, so unless you can make that happen try keeping your husband on a leas.h.!.+" Miranda didn't f.u.c.king care if Toni looked shocked. It wasn't her choice to be here. So Toni could just suck it up!

Alec watched Toni storm into their room clearly upset, "Something happen?" Alec was seriously not in the mood.

"Yes something happened! Mira happened," she kicked off her shoes and threw them angrily. "I don't think I can handle it. I am dying here Alejandro, I cannot believe you f.u.c.ked her... My best friend... The two people I love most in the world and they did this to me!" He did feel bad for her, but it wasn't Miranda's fault.

"Toni... If it makes it easier for you to accept, I have these strong needs, strong needs that only Miranda seems to be able to fulfill." He could see the shocked look in her face.

"What? What needs? How do you expect me to agree to this? I don't think I can."

"Okay well then you need to leave, if our marriage is not worth your fight, then maybe I did marry the wrong person." If Alec knew how to do anything, he knew how to manipulate any situation to suit his needs. Now Toni who had every right to be p.i.s.sed was second guessing herself.

"I just can't get my head around it."

"I explained to you already Toni, she had no choice in the matter, it was me all me, I f.u.c.ked up her life, for my selfish purpose. She is a victim in this can't you see that?" Alec was quite shocked that Toni would turn on Miranda so quickly, considering they were really close.

"What is it that has you so sure that you can't live without her in our lives?"

"I do things to her, sick things, I can't really explain why or how... It just happens..."

"Do them to me." Alec had to do a double take, was she serious?

"Babe you don't know what you're talking about." Alec was sure she was talking out of desperation. "And you don't know what you're asking for."

"Please show me why you need her so much, do to me what you think you need Mira for. I wanna know." Okay this was not something he wanted to do with Toni, it didn't seem right. When he thought of whipping Miranda his c.o.c.k would shoot right up, but with Toni it seemed a little sick.

"Toni understand this is not some fetish. I can't turn it on or off. It just happens..."

"Promise me the next time you have the urge you will use my body not hers. At least try, for me baby... For us." Moving over to him Toni pressed her lips onto his. Oh f.u.c.k all this talk about whipping he suddenly had a need for Miranda. This is going to get messy.

Miranda tossed and turned until she was finally able to fall asleep. Dream after dream were taking over, she was in the bas.e.m.e.nt again, freezing cold and wet, blood on her mouth, blood, gunshots, more blood, Ethan's battered body, Miranda cold so cold, s.h.i.+vering... Her screams could be heard through the entire manor. Miranda unaware of her actions was sitting up with her hands over her ears screaming, heart wrenching screams. Her eyes were shut tightly she didn't want to remember she didn't want to know anything!

In a heartbeat Alec raced to her room, Carlos was there seconds after him guns at the ready. Alec threw the door open and scanned the room. He saw her screaming she had yet to realize that they were in her room. As Carlos did a full search of her room, balcony and ensuite, Alec hurried to her. "Hey kid! Hey did somebody hurt you?" Miranda although had stopped screaming when she thought she heard Alec's voice wouldn't look up or remove her hands. Alec gently forced her hands down.

"Nothing boss. Could've been a nightmare."

"Miranda can you hear me baby?" Slowly Miranda nodded, "did somebody hurt you?"

"The bas.e.m.e.nt was so cold, I'm sorry I'm so sorry I would disobey you. Ethan he died... I'm so cold please don't lock me down there please I'm sorry..." Her ramblings tore at Alec's heart. Knowing Carlos was giving him a killer look he focused on Miranda.

"Miranda it's me Alec, you're not in trouble, look at me." opening her eyes and reflecting from the light Miranda looked confused.

"What's going on? Why do you have a gun Carlos?" Not knowing what the f.u.c.k was happening expect that she had two bare chested hunks in her room and one with a gun.

"Miranda you were screaming your heart out. What the f.u.c.k?" Really confused now Miranda started thinking, why would she scream?

"I was screaming? Really?" Alec ran a hand through hair.

"Are you okay now?" Asked Carlos clearly wanting to leave.

"I'm fine, I'm sorry I did that, how dignified am I?" Despite themselves Carlos and Alec laughed, a little out of relief, but mostly because Miranda was Miranda and when she took the Mickey out of herself she was very cute. Carlos left them alone.

"You scared me kid, I thought somebody tried to hurt you."

"No master that's reserved for you..." Miranda you idiot it was moment and your big fat mouth needs a filter. Alec's eyes darkened he looked very serious. "Was a joke, I'm sorry," he looked at her like he was ready to smack her.

"Do you need me to stay for a while?" Okay that was unexpected.

"I'm fine... Seriously I can't remember anything. Kissing him on the cheek she whispered, "you should go back to Toni."

Alec was left dumb, she tore his f.u.c.king heart out and she was still trying to lighten the situation. Feeling really agitated at himself he wanted to punish her for making him feel this guilt. The irony wasn't lost on him. "Who do you belong to?" He saw her look of speculation and uncertainty.

"I belong to you master..." Just like a f.u.c.king robot.

"What am I to you?" Alec could feel his c.o.c.k throb she'd done nothing wrong but his monster was surfacing and it was getting harder to contain the beast.

"You're my master and my G.o.d." Miranda started biting the inside of her cheeks clearly fearing his sudden change in moods.

"Do you love me Miranda?" Miranda started to panic this was not a good sign he was looking for trouble.

"Yes." Knowing in her heart that was the one thing she was sure of.

"Is everything alright here?" Toni said breaking the spell. What the f.u.c.k now this just became awkward.

"Fine just a nightmare I'll be in shortly." Alec was dismissing Toni? Okay this was weird.

"Seems Mira's fine how bout we leave together." Alec stood up. He actually tucked Miranda in. Miranda was sure he was unaware of his actions.

"Do you need anything?" Shaking her head Miranda suddenly had an urge to cry. Why did he be so nice to her only to hurt her? Kissing her on her forehead he left with his wife.

Alec was quiet throughout breakfast. Toni tried to start conversations but he'd only reply one worded answers. Miranda ate her breakfast quickly, she wanted to get out of their way. This couldn't be easy on Toni and she was actually feeling sorry for her. Excusing herself from the table Alec stopped her. "I'll see you in my office." What had she done now? It was always the case, he'd show her he cared she'd pay for it later, here it comes. Walking into his office and sitting down Miranda waited anxiously.

After five minutes Alec followed her in. He took a seat at his desk. "Stand up." He was on f.u.c.king fire after last night. His beast wouldn't ease up he needed his fix. "Turn around," he saw her look of confusion, yet she followed his order. "Do you always walk around like you're looking for a f.u.c.k?"

Miranda stood quietly, anything she answered wouldn't matter, she knew his way, Alec wanted to hurt her. "Answer the f.u.c.king question!" He barked out making Miranda jump from true fright.

"I'll change..." s.h.i.+t there goes that lopsided grin. He stood up and walked toward her.

"That's not an answer," Alec grabbed her by her throat squeezing enough to scare her.
