My Obsession

My Obsession

Aiden begins to wake up from his haze with a heavy head. He can hardly remember what happened that got him here. The only thing he remembers is that he was with his tutor, Ms. Nora. He’s sitting on a bed in a basement with his hands cuffed. The chain of the cuffs is stuck between a pipe and a wall that he is unable to break at the moment. He can see a small window above him, and he can see that’s it’s nighttime, which implies to him that he’s been knocked out for a while.

As soon as he considers calling out for help, he hears the basement door opening and someone coming down the stairs. It’s Ms. Nora who is carrying a bowl of chocolate ice cream with her. Aiden is relieved to see her until he starts to realize immediately that she’s the one who brought him here. She’s always had this cold and attractive look to her that would sometimes scare him.

Ms. Nora sits on the bed close to Aiden and says, “I’m glad you’re awake. I could only play with you while you were unconscious for so long. I was tempted to slap you awake but thought it would be a bad way to start our relationship. You’re probably confused about all this. The truth is that from the first time I met you, I fell in love. No one could catch my attention the way you do and now, I want to make you mine. Your parents think that I took you out on a little three-day trip, so we have a lot of time to spend together.”

Aiden can only stare in fear at Ms. Nora’s cold smile in silence as he can hardly find the words to say anything.

“I got you your favorite ice cream to ease things up a bit, but I added an extra flavor to it that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. I licked all of it. Of course, with all my saliva that you’ll be taking, I expect an equal amount from you in return after you eat.”

Shocked by what is happening to him, Aiden tries to break free from his restraints as Ms. Nora begins to feed him the ice cream with a spoon.

“Come on now, this’ll be easier if you let it happen. I know by the way that you always look at me that you’ve had a crush on me. Now’s your opportunity to claim me and I claim you.”

Ms. Nora pushes the spoonful of ice cream in Aiden’s mouth as moves his head away from it.

“Make this easy for me. Please?”

Giving in to the pressure, Aiden slowly begins to eat the ice cream only to recoil in disgust at the thought of eating ice cream that she already licked.

“If that’s how it’s going to be, then you better open wide.”

Ms. Nora puts some ice cream in her mouth and tries to feed Aiden mouth to mouth. He tries to kick her away, but she lays down on him and grips his head to prevent him from resisting. With her mouth to his, she forces his mouth open with hers as she puts ice cream in his. Aiden can only resist so much as ice cream makes its way into his mouth. He’s unable to spit it out or resist because of how forceful Ms. Nora is. This happens several times until an alarm downstairs lets Ms. Nora know that the doorbell has rung. She spits out whatever ice cream she had in her mouth onto the mouth of Aiden.

“Enjoy that while I’m gone. Please, try not to resist anymore. I don’t want to hurt you.”

Aiden waits until Ms. Nora is out of the basement to find a way out. He tries to break the pipe behind him with force to no result. When he looks further up, he sees that there’s a little space between the pipe that’s cut off. Aiden stands up and puts the chain of his cuffs through the space and frees himself from the restraint. Looking around the room for an exit that won’t make him cross paths with Ms. Nora, he tries to go for the small windows only to find that they’re bolted shut and won’t open.

Before he can figure out a way to break the window, Aiden hears Ms. Nora coming back down. He scrambles for a place to hide and manages to fit in a dark place beneath the stairs. Watching as she comes down with a package, Aiden tries to hold his breath and hide as deep behind the stairs as he can. Ms. Nora quietly looks around the room after putting the package down. She then forcefully throws over the chairs and tables in the room where he could’ve possibly have hidden under. After not finding anything, she moves to get a box cutter to open the package.

While she’s preoccupied, Aiden quietly gets out from beneath the stairs and walks up the stairs and out of the basement then slowly shuts the door behind him. He continues his way to the front door until a crack in the floor scares him. Turning around, he sees Ms. Nora behind him with a collar that looks like it’s meant for a dog.

“You didn’t think you could escape, did you? I knew you were underneath the steps.”

Not wanting to wait for Ms. Nora to catch him, Aiden runs out of the house and into the dark streets with Ms. Nora running after him. He wants to scream out for help, but the sickness in his stomach from ingesting the ice cream is preventing him. Aiden continues to try to get any noise out from his mouth while running for the nearest house with its lights on, which is a block away. Even though he runs as fast as he can, Ms. Nora catches up to him and puts a piece of duct tape over his mouth then carries him back to her house as he kicks and tries to get out of her grips.

Once they’re back home, Ms. Nora repeating smacks Aiden’s butt while biting his neck. Aiden tries even harder to free himself, but the pain is stopping him, so he instead endures it while trying not to cry.

“The truth is that I wanted you to escape, so I would have an excuse to do this to you. You might not like it now, but after some time, you’ll grow to love it.”

Ms. Nora rips off the duct tape from Aiden’s mouth and smiles.

“I love that crying, sad of yours. If I could, I would eat it up. What I like more is your smile. Smile for me, please?”

The pain and sadness Aiden feels make him feel unable to do anything until Ms. Nora smacks him again.

“Smile!”

Her forceful hit makes Aiden push himself to put on a smile.

“That’s better. That smile has always made my days better. It’s worth more to me than the paycheck that your parents give me. I have lots of photos of that smile in my room. Now you know why I always wanted to take a picture of you every time you smiled. I want to see that smile for all eternity.”

Ms. Nora carries Aiden upstairs to her room and puts the collar around Aiden’s neck and ties him to the bedpost.

“You can’t escape now. Just relax and accept my love. Resist and I’ll be forced to hurt you. You're my only infatuation. My purpose, my possession. Live and die with me in my obsession.”

The situation gets worse for Aiden as Ms. Nora tries to kiss him while she squeezes him with her on top of him. Every time he resists, he gets hurt. Aiden keeps trying to resist with whatever strength he has until he passes out. He wakes up later only to find himself wearing a girly dress and makeup.

“It’s about time you woke up. I dressed you up in a way that makes you look even cuter than you already were. Even though it’s nice to play with you while you’re unconscious, I like it even more when you struggle. Tell me, do you think that I’m a lunatic? I go crazy for just a word. For just a touch from you.”

While Ms. Nora goes back to kissing Aiden, he gets the idea to undo the collar around his neck. He manages to take it off and put it around her neck and strangles her with it. When this doesn’t work, he tries to kick and punch her off him.

“Do you think that this bothers me? I love it!”

Ms. Nora only gets more intense with her grip and kissing until Aiden manages to slip out of her grips and runs out of the room and the house.

“You won’t stay away from me for long! I’ll find you again and you’ll be mines forever, my love!”

Finally feeling able to scream, he screams for help while running to the nearest house that’s just turned on its lights. He runs to the house and bangs on the door while continuing to scream. The family that owns the house opens the door and is shocked by the wreck of a boy that they see. Aiden begs them to let him inside and they allow him.

They calm him down then question him on what happened. After he explains his situation, they call the cops to question Ms. Nora; however, when the cops get to her house, they don’t find anyone home. Because of what happened, Aiden periodically visits a priest and psychologist for help. The situation has affected his dreams that feel real to the point where he’s convinced that Ms. Nora comes for him in his room. Because there’s no evidence for this, Aiden is only given medication and more visits to the priest and psychologist.

One day, he receives an anonymous letter in the mail. The letter is signed by Ms. Nora and says, “For my future husband. I enjoy our nights together”. Inside the letter is a wedding ring with Aiden’s and Nora’s name with it. Aiden throws the ring away into his backyard and doesn’t tell anyone about the note. During the next day, he thinks that he could sell the ring for money, but when he goes outside to search for it, he doesn’t find it.

After a while, Aiden begins to lose his fear of Ms. Nora. During a day when Aiden’s parents are at work, he hears the doorbell ring. Thinking that it’s one of the things that he ordered, he runs to the door and opens it only for his hand to be taken and the ring that he threw away put on his finger.

“Now, we’re finally married.”

Aiden looks at the woman in front of him and sees that it’s Ms. Nora. She’s wearing the same clothes that she usually wears when she taught Aiden, but now her belly is bigger, which implies that she’s pregnant. Noticing that Aiden is looking at her belly, she puts his hand on her belly.

“She’s yours. We’re going to be a family.”

Ms. Nora slowly pushes Aiden into his house as he backs up.

“Run away with me and I can make you happy for the rest of our days, my love.”

Aiden quickly takes a small pistol that he put in his pants and shoots Ms. Nora’s leg. She falls down in pain and holds the place where he shot her at. She then holds her hands up to Aiden with tears in her face and fear in her heart as he points his gun at her head.

“D-don’t kill me, p-p-please!”

Aiden smiles and says, “My purpose, my possession. Live and die in my obsession.”

The End
