Chapter 65: Chapter 60
AN: Haloo people! I tried doing the less word word count in the last chapter but... but it didn't work out... My brain refuses to make it less than the minimum. Ugh. I am gonna try again in this chap because I really think If I could do it, I could upload more chapters faster.
Shoutout to Tio and Timmy for their donations, and also to that wonderful woman who gifted me this Bluetooth keyboard and mouse for my Phone. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. I can work with my FF easily now and without worrying about losing internet, I also get to eat yummy food... Hehe.

SAME BAR
General POV
The previous noisy bar was now quiet, everybody seemingly holding their breath, afraid to bother the Goddess of a woman that was sitting across from the shit of a man. They were gritting their teeth upon seeing the gaze the man was giving her, especially the women, they all knew what kind of dirty and disgusting thought he was having at the moment, and the thought of him tarnishing the woman made them want to strangle the guy to death.
Everybody knew that she was strong, most of them saw how she handled the men who dared be rough with her earlier, the ones who didn't take no for an answer and got physical, the men could've sworn they even heard one guy's balls pop when she kicked one of them who tried to cop a feel of her behind, not that they'd pity him, he deserved it. Some of them even helped the woman out by picking him up and throwing him out to the dumpsters... Hoping that their actions would make a good impression on her.
The women cheered in their hearts when they saw her deal with them, especially the waitresses who always got harassed by them. When they first saw her come in dressed like a man but still exuding the charm and allure of a woman, one would normally think that they'd be envious, but for some reason, instead of being jealous, they were attracted to her, as a woman would for a man, and the feeling was quite novel for them, and scary, they saw it... The most gorgeous woman they will ever see in their lives was flirting with one of the waitresses, and they envied the harlot who managed to get her attention.
The mother-daughter duo was just standing there, staring at the woman who seemed to have come to their rescue, and they were thankful, but since they weren't here earlier when she dealt with the perverts at the bar, they were worried for her because tho she looked confident and strong, she looked frail if compared to the man who was supposed to be the protector and provider of the family.
The man who unbeknownst to him was now the most hated being alive within the walls of the bar, and most of them were already plotting his demise... Was grinning from ear to ear, already convinced that this would be his win, he'd get the money and then he would get the woman in front of him... His body heating up, his sorry excuse of a schlong now up and awake, tho nobody noticed because it was, too pitifully small that even when hard, it did not make much of a change in his pants.
Our protagonist, our dear MC was sensing all of their expressions, body heat, language, and scent... Was internally sighing, she just wanted to forget and get laid, but trouble seems to always find her. She glanced to her left and saw the mother-daughter duo looking at her worriedly and she just smiled at them, reaching out to the younger girl to pat her head and pinch her cheek, she truly was a cute kid, and for some reason, also seemed very familiar, but she just chucked it up to coincidence. There are a lot of people who look alike after all.
Robin gave the girl's cheeks which was now pouting at her cutely a final light pinch and gave the young wife/mother a reassuring smile... And then faced the man again, but now, placing her right arm on the table, giving him a challenging look.

Unknown kid
She was so beautiful, and she looked so confident and strong, everybody's eyes were on her, they all wanted her, even the women, and I didn't think that was even possible. To be looked, and desired like that of a man to woman.
Yes, I'm young, but I have been living from foster home to foster home since I could remember, and not to toot my own horn, but I am a beautiful girl, and I'm proud and happy to be one...I knew at an early age that beautiful people tend to have an easier life than the rest and more opportunities... But it wasn't all good, because it also means that you'll be targeted by unpleasant people, perverts that would even touch children like me...
I was lucky to have been able to escape all the attempts to defile me, I used my wits to escape and trick them, it was always the men, and the women or their wives were always indifferent to me, some even visibly showing envy and disdain towards me, some blamed me, a child, for seducing their husband... And it's stupid, I know for a fact that it's a lie that they kept spouting to delude themselves so that they can convince themselves that they have not married a pedophile... But a tiny part of me wonders if it has some truth in it...
Because I did smile and act cutely and meekly, like the perfect little girl, so I could get picked amongst all the other children in the orphanage, I did everything I learned that they liked to keep me... But somehow it always backfires, or am I just too unlucky or God hated me, I always end up with pervert foster fathers...
This latest foster family, I thought it was perfect, I had high hopes that it would be different this time, because it was the wife who wanted and picked me, and the husband was indifferent towards me... I even felt a bit unwelcomed, like he was just forced into taking me in... I soon discovered that both of them were infertile, and could not have children, but the wife always dreamed of having a family... The husband, not so much, he seemed to have been perfectly happy to be childless... But for me, it was the best situation, because his not liking me in any way at all was the best for me, I can still at least have one parent who'll love me.
This time I focused everything on my new foster mother, my new goal was to be adopted by her... She cared about me and loved me like her own... Even defying, and protecting me against her husband, who started to show his true colors, he started to gamble and drink a lot and was being more violent as time passed...
And now, we're here at a bar where we witnessed and experienced the worst he has been so far, I wanted my new mother to leave him... She was too good for a low life like him, he was the scummiest among all scums, and she will continue to suffer more if she stayed.
A loud cheering from all the people around the bar took me out from my musings, and I again focused my attention on the 2 on the table who faced each other in a battle.
My foster father's face was now contorted in rage and despair, and the Goddess of a woman was silently laughing at his misery, already let go of his hand that was still hanging flat on the table, proving that he lost.
My eyes widened at this scenario, it never occurred to me even once that she would win, her build and his had so much difference that it looked like her arm would snap if the man used too much force...
But soon I panicked when I saw him stand up to lunge at her, I was about to scream in horror, but it got caught back in my throat when I saw her stand up too, grab a tray containing her bet, slam it to the side of his head, the hit was too strong and soon enough, my foster father fainted and fell face first on the table.
After that, everything was a blur, the woman grabbed him by the collar, looked at me and Mom, and signaled for us to follow her while she dragged him along with us, not minding a bit if he hit anything along the way, further injuring him. And to be honest, seeing him like this was exhilarating, like I was suddenly being avenged...
While we were walking outside to only God knows where I looked up at her and tugged her jacket. And when she looked down at me, smiling gently, I had to fight myself from being dazed to say...
"Hi, thank you for saving us... I'm...
NORMA JEANE BAKER"

AN: OK, bar scene over. And a little surprise in the end, also managed to lessen the word count. Booyah!!!! The next chap would be interesting because it would be the POV of someone ya'll kinda hate at the moment. Yep, that's a spoiler, sorry Emmway.. 😂
Thanks again for the support, be it the donations, comments, power stones, and just saving the story to your library, and being decent people, not leaving nasty comments or reviews. I realized now how lucky I am with you guys.
So as mentioned, to remedy and give ya'll another way to donate, I made a Kofi account, but you can still use the PayPal account to send it directly, it's actually better if you do that, but if not, you can just donate through Kofi. But just to remind you, while I need and would actually appreciate it if you do donate since that'll help me with my irl situation, you don't have to. My FF is free to read. Ok? You're not obligated to donate. I already appreciate you just joining my journey with the MC.(links👇)
