Obsession Chapter One: Her
He knows what he is doing is wrong, but he can’t help himself. What would she do if she found out?
I knew what I was doing was wrong; it had to be wrong, right?
I mean, stalking her online was one thing, but actually stalking her in real life was totally against the rules and probably a few laws.
Alice had a husband and a child, a son, who was fourteen. Her husband, Darien, was an engineer of some sort at an airport, but she was Alice.
I had been in love with Alice from the moment she stepped into my store. Her long, golden blonde hair barely touched the top of her very shapely ass. The way she smiled at everyone, she was the kindest person I had ever met. She was perfect!
“Shit!” I slinked back behind a wall.
‘Did she see me?’ I thought. My heart was pounding in my chest. If she saw me, she would be wondering why the guy from the bookstore was all the way on the other side of town.
I took a deep breath, then peered out. Nope, she didn’t show any signs that she saw me. She was standing by the fruit stand; she always came here to buy fruit.
Alice was in shape and had a perfect body, but her husband, on the other hand. He looked like the tire man from those commercials.
Alice was on the move again, probably home, not too far from here. She looked my way, but I had already moved to another hiding spot behind the bus stop.
Alice kept moving her hips, swaying from side to side as she walked.
‘God, what I would do to her if I got behind her!’ I thought, staring at her waist and her ass tick-tock as she walked.
I was a few feet behind her, keeping out of sight in the crowd of people as we walked down the street.
Alice had a Bluetooth earbud in her ear, listening to her playlist. I had found a way to get it on my phone; it didn’t take much, especially if she left it on public instead of private.
She was listening to one of her favorite artists. Demi Lovato — Confident. It was one of her favorite songs. I had watched her dance to it when she thought she was alone in her living room.
I had rented an apartment across the street and often peered into their house. Darien wasn’t home at this time, and Alice had two more hours before she had to pick up her son from school.
Alice kept singing and swinging her hips as she got closer to her condo.
I quickly ran across the street, dodging cars, as I didn’t want her to turn around and see me.
Alice was very cautious about her surroundings, especially once she got home. She looked all around before going up the stairs to her house. She looked at all the people passing by as she quickly entered the code into the door.
People were not paying her any attention. How could they not pay attention to the goddess?
She was inside, and I quickly went into my apartment.
“Move!” I pushed people out of my way as I ran up the stairs.
My apartment was empty except for a small mattress where I slept and the chair where I sat with the infrared gear that I had bought online.
I looked through the lens of the telescope and saw Alice in her kitchen, she was making her lunch.
“I want to touch you so bad in the worst ways possible,” I muttered, staring at her through the window.
I looked at the app and saw that she was online. She was probably sending reels to her mom; they loved sending funny animal reels back and forth.
I always checked to see if she was online. One of my hacker friends was close to cracking it so that I could see what she was doing online, who she was calling, and what pictures she was sending to whom. I wanted to know everything about her.
She moved from the kitchen into the living room, where she plummeted down onto the couch to watch her show. She would watch two episodes and then get up to get her son.
“Still there?” Alice asked.
I could hear her through the listening devices I had planted all through the house.
She was talking to her dog, Freddy; he had been hiding under the large couch since her son had brought a large robot toy home.
“You can come out, he isn’t home,” Alice said.
The golden lab came out from his hiding spot and jumped onto her lap. She hugged it as they lay down.
“Good dog,” I smiled.
My phone rang. “Dammit!” I looked at the picture of my wife on the screen.
“Are you still at work?” Pauline asked.
“Yes!” I responded.
Like many people, they thought I worked at the bookstore, but I owned it. Pauline was the only person who knew the truth. I hated that bookstore. It was given to us by her parents.
My true work was in cyber security, which was how I got into Alice’s house. It was how I had managed to fool the landlord of this building that Jake Matthews was a real person who was renting this apartment.
“How long are you going to be out of town?” Pauline asked. “I am tired of this damn store!”
“I don’t know!” I was getting aggravated by her continuing whining.
I had looked over that store for years. It was her parents’ store; she could sell it and make a fortune, but she was the one who wanted to keep it.
“You should really tell her to sell it,” Alice said out of the blue.
My heart stopped as I looked through the telescope. Alice was standing by the window. “You guys argue about it all the time, she could just sell it,” she was staring right at me.
“Leonard?” Pauline was repeating in my ear.
“You should answer her,” Alice grinned. “I don’t like someone getting in between our alone time,” she winked as she looked at me. “Plus I am going to take a shower, and I know you won’t want to miss that.”
Alice disappeared back inside.
“I have to go,” I told Pauline and hung up.
My goddess knew, she knew I was stalking her, and she didn’t mind. I moved the telescope to view the bathroom.
Slowly, Alice started to undress in front of the window. The bathroom was three floors up, and my apartment had the perfect view.
“About time,” Alice said as she looked out the window. “Now, where we?”
Alice dropped her hands from her chest as she looked at me. “Perfect,” I grinned as I stared at her naked body. “Absolutely perfect!”
