1 year later .... (December)
So Steven had transferred to a different store so he could remain a manger and still also be with me. It was okay, his new store was closer to his house. we still spend his days off together. we don't have a new manager yet at our store. they had a thought time finding a replacement. They have new people coming and going like crazy.
Pixie comes to me and ask for my help training the newbie, she says he's kinda cute. we walk over together and he looks up at me and his stare... it sends a shiver done my spine and my arms get hot and I start to freak the fuck out.
I excuse myself and run outside for air.
a panic attack? why?
He wasn't scary. he was a kid. 18 no taller then 5"11 and he might have been muscler but nothing could make up for his walk and stare. his voice wasn't at all high. which made me believe he wasn't very old.
He spoke calmly and a little bit joyfully. he got flirty with the girls. but there was something more off about him and I couldn't tell what.
With my anxiety I watch my surroundings very closely. and I would notice he would watch who I talked to. what I took with me. my likes and dislikes but not ever asking me one thing or even trying to talk to me. he flirted with all the girls but me and tried to get close to any girl that was close to me. he made pixie a target. he became obsessed with her.
but I couldn't do anything. pixie liked everyone and she wouldn't shut down his advances but also wouldn't go after him or in courage him. she was nice to everyone.
so I let it be because Steven was the jealous type. he beat someone up for looking at me. I couldn't let him know a guy was looking at me.
something was wrong with this new kid and I couldn't tell what it is.
I went in every day and every day I noticed he studied me.
and one day he disappears.
I finally feel safe in the work place! and pixie is to.
a few weeks later
the store gets busy and I decided to try and move up to impress Steven. I became a supervisor and we finally get that new manager.
the new manager was nice enough, Andrew was nice enough, young, tall, out going. he was very tan and didn't seem interested in me which was nice. pretty sure he was happy with his girlfriend.
I was hoping Steven was as loyal.
I was overnight stock team manager. when I go in for my first day I find out my assistant is David. I didn't know a David, so that's okay.
David walks in 20 mins late. David was the kid from before. the one that scares me. he gives me a half grin and ignores me for the first few weeks. Good! I don't want his attention. but then a girl on the team comes to me and tells me he's been bothering her. I ask her bothering her how?
well he grabbed me....
I am sooo furious I wanna kill him. she tells me to drop it and I don't wanna drop it, I wanna drop... drop kick him!
....
every day I get madder and madder at him. showing up late and flirting with the girls.
then one day I go in back to check on the punch clock for lunch, he pushes me into a storage area and lifts me up onto a shelf and starts to pull down my underwear.
NO! NO! I start to scream and kick. he puts his hands over my mouth and I start to sob under his hand.
he stops and says, if you don't scream. I'll let you go, I'd like to talk.
I nod my head and he lets go.
I take a deep gasp and catch my breath.
you belong to me Allis.
Ummm this is not 1800's I don't belong to anyone.
no Allis you don't understand you belong to me.
and then the shiver down my spine. I look up at him, it was you that day?
I was checking on you,
I always check on you, in different forms, people, shapes, sizes, colors, sounds.
who the hell are you?
oh my sweet your close.
I am the second most powerful, and evil being in this world. you my sweet are my dove.
stop calling me that! I am not your anything! I am with Steven our old .
..... store manager, yes I know. and who do you think outed you?
you weren't even at the store when this happened!
are you sure about that? you belong to me!
