Can I Have This Dance? 23: Vacation I
Wanda was frowning the whole time as she folded clothes into her suitcase. When Elliot came to her last night to tell her they were going on a vacation to Miami she had asked if he was crazy and if she looked like someone who would go on a vacation with him. "I'm not going." She had said and she was strong on her answer until he told her it was his parents that organized it and that they all had to be there. When she heard that, she didn't say anything to him, she just simply walked away and went to her room where she threw her fists in the air and whined because she knew she had lost, there was no staying back from it. She looked at the calendar and sighed, from tomorrow till Sunday she had to pretend to be a happy fiancee, she grumbled and zipped her small travel bag. Why did his parents have to include her? Wanda headed to the living room but paused by the stairs when she heard Elliot on the phone."I'm sorry we won't see each other this weekend" He said. "I'll make it up to you

Wanda was woken up by a knock on the door, she looked to the sofa and saw Elliot was still sleeping. Last night, she didn't even argue, she took the bed like offered and he took the sofa. Yawning and rubbing her eyes, Wanda went to the door and opened it waking Elliot up, at the door was Maya who looked like she had been awake for hours. "Good morning I'm sorry to wake you." Maya said. "It's okay, is there a problem?""We'll be going to the beach later today." She replied. "Mom wanted me to tell you and Elliot." "Oh okay." She replied, using her hand to cover her mouth as she yawned for a second time. "Thanks Maya." She shut the door. "What did she want?" Elliot asked, his voice thick with sleep, it made Wanda feel a certain kind of way."We're going to the beach.""Like now?" Elliot asked still lying down."No, she said later today." He covered himself properly and closed his eyes to continue his sleep. Wanda saw him fold his legs to fit into the sofa, he looked uncomfortable, th

Miami was fun while it lasted, and Wanda was back to her reality, back home in Elliot's house where she would have to ignore a man she loved for her heart's sake. A man she loved but a man she won't receive love from because his heart was with another. The incident at the beach scared her, but having him run to her and hold her and ask if she was okay made her feel safe. She liked the thought of having him there, she dreamt of being the only woman he thought of but she knew it was only a dream, a dream that won't come true. Wanda's reality hurt and she wouldn't wish her situation on her enemy because it was painful. Unrequited love hurt. She hated herself for loving Elliot, she wanted to hate him too but she couldn't, it proved to be difficult for her but she wouldn't let him get the best of her, she wouldn't let her feelings take control of her mind, she would finish strong, take her money and leave, never to see or hear about Elliot Cyrus."So how was Miami?" Cherry asked her. "Did y

Peter Cyrus sat in a poorly lit room and crossed his legs, he bent forward and glared at the young man kneeling in front of him, bag over his head the man was mumbling. Peter motioned for the men with him to take the bag off his captive's head so he could get a good look at his face and they did, and Peter came face to face with Mike."What the hell do you think you're doing?" Mike yelled still kneeling, he tried to move but his hands were bound behind him. "So you're the mad man who's been following my son and daughter-in-law." Mike froze and looked up at the man seated, then realization hit him, Peter Cyrus had gotten him. On the spot, his heart began to race in fear, he knew he was in deep trouble."I will ask you questions and all you have to do is tell me the truth and then everything will be fine." Peter said. Mike nodded intensely, "I will I promise.""Who hired you?" Mike pursed his lips, he contemplated saying the truth and saving his ass or keeping his client's identity a

Toby raised a brow as he looked at the screen, he could see Elliot standing just outside his door and he looked bad, he ruffled his hair and opened the door slightly. Elliot stood at the entrance and looked at his best friend with sad eyes, he felt cold and confused, he tried to smile but he couldn't. Toby noticed his demeanour and tilted his head to one side before speaking. "What happened?" "Can I come in please?" He replied, his voice breathy. Toby opened the door fully and stepped aside, he motioned for Elliot to enter."Thank you." He walked in and Toby closed the door. Toby didn't say anything and just walked to his coffee machine, knowing Elliot, he would drink coffee all the time even when he wasn't feeling good, both physically and emotionally so before talking he would give him some coffee to calm down but today Elliot didn't want coffee. He looked to the kitchen and saw Toby making coffee, he shook his head and said "Not coffee, alcohol. Give me something strong Toby."

"What do you mean we have to stop seeing each other?" Tara jumped up in surprise. When Elliot had come over to her place she had assumed he was even going to spend the night but that was not the case, he was coming to draw a line. "I don't want to do this too Tara but I have no choice." He told her. "It's just for some time."She frowned and folded her arms before sitting. "I don't like this Elliot." "Me neither but you know my situation." She wasn't liking what she was hearing and it seemed like her powers weren't working on him. When would she have him all to herself so she could do whatever she wanted and then leave him again? "Is it because of her?" She asked. "Are you falling in love with her?""Of course not Tara." He tried to reassure her. "I'm not.""You didn't have a problem replacing me so." She didn't continue. Elliot grabbed her and kissed her gently. "I love you, Tara. No one else."She smiled and hugged him but in her mind, she was mocking him. He was such a fool. "

Elliot and Wanda were both in the kitchen doing separate things, ever since their falling out, they became invisible to each other. The new action was intentional on Wanda's end and was out of courtesy on Elliot's end. He understood she was trying to get out of his way and get him out of her way and he respected her decision. The two of them would cook separately, clean separately, do dishes separately and so on. The new routine was stuffy and uncomfortable but they both bared with it because soon everything would change. To Wanda, it had always seemed like the time would take forever to come, soon felt like forever but now soon was in less than a week. Soon she would be out of his home and life forever, it was only a matter of days. Wanda was already packing her things little by little, and although she would be homeless for some time she knew she could stay at Cherry's house until she found a new place. Wanda had completed her last piece and she awaited Elliot's father's call. At f

They would finally be free, he wouldn't feel guilty towards her anymore and she wouldn't have to cry because of him.He went down the stairs and saw Wanda in the living room, she was eating her breakfast with her apple juice by her side, she looked at him when she caught sight of him and smiled, for the first time in a long time she smiled genuinely at him."You're ready?"

"How does it feel being out of that house and Elliot what's-his-face out of your life?" Cherry nudged Wanda. It had been two weeks since Wanda moved out of Elliot's home and into Cherry's, and although she was in no hurry to move yet again, she was house hunting. She needed to give Cherry her privacy and needed to do it soon because she couldn't afford to walk into her and her boyfriend making out on the living room sofa again, the sight was enough once but it wasn't the only reason why, she wanted her own space and she felt bad about using up Cherry's things even though she had told her she didn't mind. Her old apartment was still available but she had never really liked it and since she was richer, she wanted to upgrade her living area. "Earth to Wanda" Cherry clapped in her face this time to get her attention. "I'm sorry." She smiled. "It feels great.""And you don't miss him?" She reached for her glass. Wanda shook her head and scoffed. "Why would I?""If you say so." Wanda exc

Wanda's bags were by the front door and she was seated waiting for Cherry to pick her up. As she sat, she looked around Elliot's house and sighed, she was going to miss it, even though her final days in the house were painful and sad, she didn't start like that, there was laughter and happiness and fun and now that she was finally leaving she was going to miss it all. She stood up and looked at the frames on the wall and smiled, she remembered the day they took all the pictures, they ran around the whole day to look like a real couple for his family and their hard work paid off. She touched one of the framed pictures and wiped a small tear from her eyes, it was her favourite, in the picture, Elliot was giving her a back hug and a kiss on the cheek. They looked beautiful and in love, she was jealous of the Wanda in the picture. She moved away and sat down, and she wondered why Elliot hadn't gotten rid of the pictures yet. She thought of taking one with her but she slapped herself back
