Emily fought the tears back as she emptied the bitter clear liquid in her glass down her throat.
“Isn't that too much to be taken in all at once?" A clear voice asked. "Keep your opinion to yourself, Ben!" Emily responded while keeping a straight face , not once turning to face "him". “Ben? Who's that?" The voice asked and its owner proceeded to sit on the chair closest to Emily. “Emily raised her head to look at her new companion and not surprisingly she couldn't focus on the person in front of her, she knew the drink had started taking full effect and she wasn't in the right state of mind to start a conversation with a stranger. “Not interested" she replied. “Not interested in?" The stranger asked again. “Listen here Mr whatever, I'm most certainly not in the mood for small petty talk, so run along and go find someone else to have those talks with cause I promise you I'm not the ONE" Emily said in a clear tone. “Mr whatever" had a slight frown on his face as Emily could gradually observe the stranger in her front, she noticed he was handsome and had a good body build and for some reasons that made her more irritated. “Just don't talk to me" she added and then requested for a glass of water from the bartender. “As you wish, I'm here for a drink and have no intention of bothering you or anyone else" the stranger said and then proceeded to request for a drink and they both sat in silence, waiting for their orders. Emily got her glass of water first and she downed the whole glass, and dropped it aggressively back on the bar table. She then turned to have a proper look at the stranger but he had taken the next two seats far away from her, she wondered if she was a bit too harsh and felt a bit of guilt. She contemplated apologizing for the sudden outburst but felt it was unnecessary for someone she'd probably never cross paths with again. “They are all the same anyway" she thought. She turned to steal a quick glance at him and thought he looked so familiar for a second. “Where's Sandy?" She thought and turned to search for her friend with her eyes and caught her figure at the distant corner. “Typical Sandy" she chuckled as she observed Sandy with a guy standing far off at the corner of the room. Emily decided to go say hi to Sandy's new friend and carefully made her way through the tight crowd to Sandy. “You can't be this close to me in public! Emily's here and I don't want her to get suspicious" Sandy said angrily. “I can't stay away from you, I needed to see you and you don't have to worry about Emily, I've broken up with her" He said and leaned in to kiss her. Sandy felt her heart racing as Ben came closer, she knew she shouldn’t be talking to him, more less kissing him! Emily was just few paces away but at that moment the voice of reason in her head faded away as he placed his hands around her waist, gently drawing her in , their face nearly touching, he kissed her. “What the hell?! Ben!" Emily said out loud and stared unbelievably at them. Sandy gasped and shook in fright "Em's, it's not what you think" she said in a shaking voice. Emily couldn't hear anything at that point, the world around her was shut off and she prayed silently this was all a bad dream.Em’s, it’s not what you think," Sandy said in a quivering voice. Emily stared at her with eyes so cold and empty that Sandy could have sworn they belonged to someone she had never met before; the person before her wasn't Emily anymore-she was a stranger. “I hope you're happy" Emily said and quickly disappeared into the exhilarated crowd. Sandy stood in shock for a moment, visibly stunned. "Hey, get yourself together," Ben's said as he grabbed her arms.Ben's voice trailed off as Sandy stared into space, lost in her thoughts about how it all began. She had met Ben at a friend's birthday dinner, where she had spilled some wine on her white gown. He had offered her his suit jacket, and they instantly connected, engaging in a conversation that flowed effortlessly. She remembered being so tired that she mumbled a thank you and went straight to bed. Ben, hoping to see her again, had left but didn't follow up, thinking it would be strange to show up without her contact information
"Easy there" he said while slowly guiding her up the stairs into her apartment. They got to her apartment and he helped her to get seated and asked "Do you have a first aid kit?". In the bathroom cupboard" she replied. Ben gestured at the direction of the bathroom and she gave a nod of approval. He walked to the bathroom and grabbed a first aid kit from the cupboard and headed back to Sandy. “Is that your usual route to jog?" He asked. "Uhum" Sandy grunted and winced in paid as he applied first aid. “Almost done here, you're lucky I decided to go jogging there today. I usually take the other route by the river" He said. Sandy watched him as he cleaned her cut and placed a bandage. The handsome stranger that she thought she dreamt and was a figment of her imagination was right here with her. “All done" He said with a smile. “Thank you" she replied. They had coffee and decided to have a conversation. “So you seeing anyone currently?" Ben asked. “No I'm single, you?" She r
Emily pushed through the crowd blindly, her heart beating so loud she could have sworn she heard it above the music blasting from the speakers. She pushed through the crowd, and out the doors into the busy streets.The lights and noise of the streets all seemed like a fever dream, she pinched herself in an effort to know if all this wasn't a dream. She stood for a moment, her mind racing with so many thoughts. And she stepped towards the busy road. It all happened in a split second, her walking towards the cars moving at a high speed, the loud horns from the drivers and a firm grip on her arm pulling her back. Someone pulled her in away from the busy road and she couldn't resist, instead she held onto the stranger and rested her head on his chest, holding in tears that were already filled in her eyes. “Hey, you good?" A strong masculine voice asked. She nodded while still holding on to him, in her head, this was a moment of weakness. She needed someone to comfort her or act
"My name is Jeff, what's yours?" He asked. "Emily, you can call me Em's, thanks for saving me” she replied still not turning to look at him. Don't mention, be careful next time though" he replied and she kept mute. My driver would be here any minute now" he continued. Just then, a Cadillac pulled up and a middle aged well uniformed man came down and said "Good evening, Mr Jeff. Good evening, ma'm " he said to Emily who was staring at the car before her. Emily knew Jeff could be rich if he could afford to own such a luxury car, not like she cared what car he drove but she was surprised. Jeff helped her in and signaled to Walter to pay them no attention,he then helped Emily into the backseat and proceeded to get in himself. “You good?" He asked. She nodded and gave a smile. "Could you share your location ma'm?" Walter asked?". “1235, Crimson street" She replied. Walter nodded and they drove off to her home. In the car, Jeff was resisting the urge to stare at Emily's face and t
Emily couldn't find her key in her purse, she tried to remember where she had placed it to no avail, then she proceeded to check for her spare key under the flower vase at the balcony. “Found it" she said and brought out a bunch of keys and placed one in the key lock. Her door got opened and Jeff followed behind, gently shutting the door after him. “Hey Cotton" Emily bent to give her chubby cat belly rubs, Cotton purred and rubbed her face in Emily's legs. Cotton stared at Jeff for a minute and went close for a pat, which he gladly obliged. “You've a lovely cat" He said. “Thank you" Emily said in a low tone. Jeff wondered if she was upset about what had happened in the car and thought it smart to take his leave now. “Hey, seems you settled in , I would take my leave now" Jeff said and on getting no response from Emily who just stood at the kitchen counter staring at him. Taking that as his cue, he turned to leave. The lights went off immediately and Jeff turned back to see what
Yess" she replied clenching her teeth. He kissed her again, his hands stroking her body in soft waves. Emily moaned, her arms wrapped around him with fingers deep in his back ,then he slowly inserted a finger in her. Emily let out a cry of pleasure much to Jeff's excitement as he worked her spot down there. Ben had never touched her like this, in fact no man had ever touched her like this. Who was this man? Jeff could feel her body quivering to his every touch, he was hard and yearning to be deep in her. A stranger she was but she had his heart and body this night, he inserted another finger, his fingers exploring her deeply and Emily thought she could explode from pleasure, her legs shaking, the jerks in between each movement. “Ben" she groaned in a crackly voice, Jeff couldn't hear her properly at first. Jeff knew even though she had given him consent, he still couldn't see this to the end. One, he had no protection on him. Two, she seemed tipsy, he knew better than to see
He leaned in to kiss her, his hands around her neck. She smiled in her sleep and shut her eyes expecting a kiss. There was a light snore . Who's snoring? The sound distracted her from her peaceful dream and she slowly opened her eyes. Lying naked, head on a strangers chest and her body half rested on his. It took a second for Emily to realize what was going on. She jumped up in fright, startling Jeff, who was already deep in sleep. Jeff was a deep sleeper but surprisingly got up immediately after her sudden reaction. He checked his watch, it was 4:30am. He had thought she would sleep a bit longer since she was exhausted and he had planned to been on his way at about an hour from now. He raised his eyes, while sitting half way and stared at the naked woman in front of him. She didn't seem frightened, just confused trying to recall the events that led to him being in her bed. “Hey, you good?" He asked, visibly worried, he hoped she remembered all that had happened. “Who the hell
Jeff picked up his clothes at her back, his hands slightly touching her soft body. He kept his calm; he couldn't start acting like a man without self control, given they had just a moment and that was over now. He proceeded to put on his clothes while Emily stared at him, unable to take her eyes off the way he moved. His eyes caught hers and she cleared her throat turning to face her dressing mirror. Jeff smiled, he always had that effect on ladies when he has no shirt on. Emily seemed different. Last night she had been a seductress, in control and letting him take the reins only when she wanted. Now, she was this cautious, gorgeous lady who seemed to pay attention to detail. He had to leave now, he hoped to see her again but she wasn't being very friendly and from her body language he knew she wanted this "stranger" out of her home. He checked his watch and sent a message to Walter asking to be picked up immediately. Emily stood still recalling the incident last night. She had
