Anna looked at the calendar, sighed in frustration and flung it across the room. She sighed, her house was freezing, she couldn’t afford to use the heating, and she was living solely on toast as she has no other food and no money to buy shopping. She was flat broke, and her rent was a week overdue and already in arrears. She knew the Dave the landlord would be calling today, as yet she didn’t know what she was going to tell him and how the hell she was going to talk her way out of being evicted.
She shivered in the draughty, damp living room, and closed her eyes. She had lost her job two months ago and had barely left the house since then, she had no one to help her out of this mess, and she felt too down to even help herself. She felt a twinge of sadness as she thought of how she had let herself go a little, her long auburn hair which she took so much pride in curling everyday, sat straight down her back, and her green eyes had lost the lustful sparkle they had once possessed.
She lost track of the time as she drifted away, but sometime later she was startled by a loud knock on the door. Anna’s stomach lurched; it was the landlord here to collect the money she owed him. Dave was a friend of a friend, a few years older than she was, tall and stocky with an olive complexion. They had got on pretty well for the first few months but since she had fallen behind on her rent she sensed the friendship had gone and that he was getting increasingly pissed off with her excuses.
She sighed as she unlocked the door and opened it; Dave was standing outside looking a little impatient. ‘Hi Dave’ she smiled weakly, Dave crossed his arms and nodded a hello ‘Anna you know this isn’t a social call don’t you’. She made him coffee, black, she couldn’t even afford milk these days. Dave sighed ‘Anna we cant carry on like this, I bought this house as an investment and you can't even manage to pay me’, he set his mug down, ‘I’m afraid in going to look for new tenants, I’m giving you a weeks notice’.
Anna knew this was coming, but the shock still hit her pretty hard, she pleaded with Dave ‘just give me a few more weeks, get back on my feet, you know, get a job, please don’t do this’. Dave tried to fight the sympathy he was beginning to feel, he was loosing money but he couldn’t help the fact that he liked Anna a lot, he found her so sexy, and often found wicked thoughts of her running through his head at night. He had tried to get close to her once, just after she has moved in, but she has made it clear that she wasn’t interested and never would be, he just wasn’t her type. He looked back at Anna who was wiping tears from her eyes, and as he did so, a thought crossed his mind, he pondered upon it for a few moments before speaking again. ‘Anna I’m sorry I have no choice, I have to evict you unless…we think about payment in other ways’.
Anna froze, unable to speak for a second ‘but we’ve been here before you know I’m not…..’. He stood up and moved to the front door tuning away to lock it, and turning back with a dark look in his eyes that she had never seen before, he looked up at her, a sinister grin spreading slowly across his face ‘babe do you really want me to kick you out?’ he said softly. ‘N-n-n-no I don’t’ Anna stuttered, she swallowed hard, her head spinning, she felt sick and dizzy. He moved back to the sofa, his face close to hers ‘well then’ he whispered hoarsely ‘this will do for the short term’ he grinned.
She winced as Dave roughly grabbed the back of her neck and yanked her over to him, kissing her had, so hard that it hurt and she could taste blood from her lips. She hated this already but knew she had no options and so closed her eyes and tried to block out what was happening to her, wishing it was over but knowing it had just begun, she fought back tears as she felt him tugging her top over her head hurriedly. He saw the tears as he threw the shirt aside, but did not think of stopping. A sudden rush of power flowed though him as he realised that he was totally in control of the situation and that she would do whatever he wanted. The thought of this made him more aroused that he was already, and the bulge in his jeans became more apparent.
