This is part Two of a 2-part story within the story. The events of these two days are kinda rough for our characters, and probably won't be to everyone's taste. There is domestic violence and outright violence and characters in dire jeopardy. I'll be sure to summarize the major plot points there, so you're not lost if you skip these two.
Drama on the North Shore
Part 2: Downfall
**Bella**
Bella stormed through the house as she left her father's office. She looked like a crazy person, naked, semen running down her chest and inner thighs (mixed with a bit of blood between her legs), hair ripped from its careful arrangement into a wild tangle, eye makeup running, and lipstick smeared. She was crying, although she didn't notice, and she was walking with a slight limp.
One of the staff (Bella couldn't remember her name), carrying a bundle of towels out toward the pool saw her, eyes opening wide in horror.
"Miss Bella! What happened? Did someone hurt you?" the woman said a shocked voice, rushing toward her.
"What? No...I'm fine...I think..." The look of sympathy and concern on the woman (
Marcela...of course she's been here since I was a little girl, God I've been terrible to her!
) caused all her emotions to come crashing down. She collapsed her to the stone floor and started bawling uncontrollably.
Marcela dropped the towels and shucked off her service coat. She was wearing a sweat-drenched tank underneath, a rail-thin, tall woman with tan skin and dark hair pulled back into a tight bun with pins through it. She wrapped the coat around Bella.
"Esta bien carina...Let's get you to your room." She said, stroking Bella's hair and then lifting her to her feet. Bella wrapped her arms around the woman, letting her face rest against the woman's damp chest and sobbed. She could feel the woman's small breasts in her face, cushioning her as she sobbed into the woman.
Marcela started shuffling Bella to the stairs, leaving the pile of towels on the floor.
She'll get in trouble for leaving a mess behind. Come on Bella, pull yourself together!
"It's ok Marcela. Thank you so much!" She let go of the hug and pulled back, a couple more sobs coming out. "I can get myself there...I don't want to get you in trouble."
Marcela gave Bella a funny look, then shifted to a pretty smile, "You sure? I'll check on you later, ok?"
Bella nodded, turned, and ran up the stairs to her room. She went inside and slammed the door behind her. Inside the bedroom, she collapsed on the bed and fell back into deep wracking sobs. Within minutes, she was asleep, the emotional strain was just too much for her.
Sometime later, she awoke to someone on her bed. In the dark she couldn't see who it was, but she felt a callused hand brushing the hair gently from her face. Bella jumped, but a soothing voice said, "Shhh...it's ok just me."
Marcela was sitting on the bed near her. Bella could hear a sloshing of water, then she felt a warm rag on her face. "Let me clean you up a bit, ok? If you need to talk, I'll listen, if not, just rest. Close your eyes, I need a little light."
Marcela switched on Bella's bedside lam. The light was low and soft, but Bella could see the woman's face haloed in the light of the lamp, a gentle maternal smile. The warm, almost hot cloth had a floral scent to it. Marcela dabbed at her face gently wiping off the crusted makeup, snot, tears, and semen that caked Bella's face.
"You're so pretty, you don't need this much makeup..." she muttered, wiping around the eyes, nose and mouth. Bella closed her eyes and enjoyed the woman's attentions. Each time the cloth went back in the bucket it came back warm and sweet smelling again, lulling her into a relaxed state.
"Thank you, Marcela, I'm sorry I was such a bitch to you." Bella said.
The woman laughed, "Which time?" then, a moment later realized what she'd said, "Oh I'm so sorry Miss!"
Whether it was the relaxing touch, or the kindness, Bella felt nothing from the comment but sadness. "Oh Marcela! Really, I'm so sorry, I've been an awful, spoiled brat...I guess I got what I deserved tonight."
"Nonsense sweetie, whatever happened, nobody deserves that...I...spoke to your father after I saw you. I asked if I should report something. He...told me I should keep quiet, that nothing bad happened to you...is that true?" Marcela asked, gently finishing up on Bella's face.
Bella didn't say anything, she was on the edge of crying again. She laid there in silence for a few minutes as Marcela finished up on her face. "If it was...
violacion...
we should not clean this up until you go to police..." Marcela said, a question in her voice as she rinsed the rag in the warm water.
"No..." Bella said, in a tiny voice, "Whatever it was...I didn't say no. I was just stupid..." she sniffed, tears back again.
Marcela nodded and kissed Bella on the forehead. "You rest, ok, I'll finish cleaning you up."
Bella nodded, looking at the woman's beautiful face. She'd never noticed how pretty the woman was, just another face in the house for the last decade or so. Now this woman was here, off the clock, taking care of her. Where was her father? Her Mother was off on another vacation, probably with that man she thought nobody knew about...Bella felt a surge of gratefulness that she knew she didn't deserve.
She said nothing and just let Marcela go to work. The woman slid back the covers of the bed, exposing her upper body. The warm rag slid gently across her chest and between her breasts, wiping up the dried semen. Bella's skin broke out in goosebumps as the woman's gentle pressure moved over her breasts, wiping around and over the nipples. "It's ok?" Marcela asked?
"Mmm...yes, thank you." Bella said in a soft voice. The rag was rinsed again, and returned to her chest, removing the last vestiges of her father's smelly resin from her chest. Bella's nipples were hard after the warm water and then cold air sent a shock through her body.
Why does this feel so good?
