Ella stopped in her tracks. Her leg was still in the air when she turned and looked at the handsome figure in the doorway. He had a bottle of wine and roses.Ella felt her cheeks get hot."I just came to apologize for my behaviour." Jason said , holding out the roses to her.Ella blushed and took the roses, smelling it's sweet scent."You look good in a business suit." Jason flattered her and she just couldn't stop smiling." Wana get some glasses?" Jason asked her and she picked up the phone and made a call." I was actually going to have dinner now in the dining hall. Would you like to join me after we have a glass of wine?" Ella asked." I would love to. I'm also starving. I just got off duty and I just had to see you. Did you get my roses from the morning?" Jason smiled."Yes. Thank you." Ella didn't want to think about this mornings drama. She just couldn't imagine, Jason to be a man of such evil doings."Ella." Annie called but didn't complete her sentence. She looked like she w
He pulled off her shirt and kissed her neck as she moaned in his ear."Can I?" He asked and Annie moaned loudly.He buried his face in her breasts as his hands slid down her shorts and lace panties.His fingers found her swollen bud and he started to move his fingers in a circular motion.Annie could not help herself and spread her legs wider, inviting him in.He bit her nipples hard and she moaned in pleasure.She rubbed her hands on his back and started to erupt with an orgasm that made her whole body jerk.He placed his thumb inside her while he continued to rub her vigorously as she rode his thumb.He grabbed her hair with his free hand and pulled her up for a kiss.She began to unbutton his shirt and rub her hands on his hairy chest.She was in an ecstacy moment and did not want it to end.He took of his pants and she wrapped her legs around him as he entered her.A moan escaped his lips as he began to thrust into her.She arched her body up, meeting each thrust.After a while, h
Ella recognised the woman that had stepped forward."Miss Woods. Thank you for writing my story. When the crowd started to read the story, I could not help but stop cleaning the windows and listen. You have made my story so beautiful. So inspirational. For so long we sat in darkness, fearing the light of society but you changed that." The woman spoke. " You have changed our lives forever. You have offered us jobs. You are a good person , Miss Woods."Ella remembered that was her former self."I am so sorry guys, there is a misprint. That is my sister, Summer Ray. That is her work." Ella corrected them."It says Ella Woods." Helen said loudly. " Ella , you are too modest. I am sure your sister wouldn't mind if you stole her thunder." "My sister is dead." Ella snapped." Summer Ray is dead. She is the writer."The room fell silent.The little old lady stepped forward and touched Ella's chest. " Summer Ray lives in here."A tear slid down Ella's cheek.Summer was still inside her but she
She used other woman to get Ella out of her head but relationships never lasted because they weren't Ella!"Are you f***ing kidding me?" Ella asked.A cynical smile tugged at the corners of Annie's lips."Annie. Is this a joke? Are you swinging into woman? If you are, I am not. I like boys. I have a boyfriend." Ella said proudly.Annie stared at her silently for a while. She was trying to divert Ella's attention for a while so that she could get her to calm down." Ella. You are so special. I really like you." Annie smirked. Her eyes were full of laughter that just wanted to erupt out of her."Annie. Quit the games. You are making this nonsense up." Ella barked."Oh. But I'm not. I like girls. Girls with red hair. Short petite girls. Pretty girls. Tall girls. Just girls. And you are a girl!" Annie winked."So you are telling me that you fancy me." Ella questioned."Yes." Annie nodded."In a love love kind of way or a lusting kind of way." Ella took a seat. She was feeling a little li
Five minutes later Annie pulled herself off Ella." Explain this Ella? Did you feel some connection? Did you feel love? Did you feel lust? What is it that you have felt for me?"Ella stared at Annie. Her eyes were as wide as saucers. She had no explained for the way she behaved. She wished she could blame the whiskey but it had probably worm off. There wasn't much in the bottle."I . Er. I. I." Ella stammered. She didn't know how to answer. She had never had such an encounter before. She liked it. She had never been touched in such a way. She had always saved her desires for marriage. She was a good girl, she never experimented, even on her own."I guess that solves your dilemma, Ella." Annie laughed. " How can you tell me that you love Jason when your body reacts to my touch. Does it mean that you love me?" "Annie. I don't know what you want to hear and I can't explain what just happened." Ella finally blurted out." This is so confusing.""Exactly Ella, how can you be so sure that yo
"What's her problem?" Jason asked. He was so confused at the deadly look that she had given him."Oh nothing. Maybe just a mood swing. You know how older people can be." Ella joked." Anyway are you all set for next week? Your big day. With the mayor.""Yes I am. I can't believe I was given such an opportunity." Jason chimed."You deserve it. You are a good cop." Ella praised him."I am a better man , since I am with you." Jason kissed her lips.Ella parted her lips but Jason did not take the hint. He broke away from her." Let's have some lunch. I am starving."Ella smiled weakly. She wanted to feel the way she did when Annie had kissed her. She wanted to know what she felt was true. That Jason Duke was the one that the moon goddess had blessed her with.Ella nodded. Jason took her hand in his and led her to the dining hall.Ella had actually thought that they would be going out for lunch but her hoped were destroyed instantly.Annie watched from the foyer. "Cheap skate." She said un
Her eyes fell on a name that she thought she wouldn't see again and wondered what the connection was. She now knew that Jason had I'll intentions but Ella was still blind by her infatuation for her prince charming.She needed to have the two at the same place at the same time and for Ella to see this with her own two eyes.Annie took the papers to Jon." Jon. I need your help. I know you know the best tech guys in Salt Rock. I need someone discreet . Someone who could do the job discreetly." Annie explained her plan to Jon who agreed with her.He loved Ella like a daughter and would make sure no harm got to her. He never liked Jason Duke. He always felt something was odd since the day of the incident with Judy.He always felt that Jason had something to do with it. Jon just could not make a connection of events until now.Jon made a quick phone call and within thirty five minutes a short man with glasses met Annie and Jon in the lobby.They had decided not to tell Patrick until they h
Annie called up the two of Patrick's most trusted men and gave them the location.At six o clock Jason Duke arrived at the hotel and waited in the foyer. Ella walked down the stairs graciously in a long evening dress.She held her small bag in her hand and her hair blew in the wind from the open windows.She met Jason and immediately he kissed her hand.He led her to his broken down car and opened the door for her."You sure you don't want to take one of my dad's luxury cars?" Ella asked innocently.Jason's eyes flashed with a hint of anger before he calmed himself down and answered politely," Ella dear, next week I will have one of my own. Let me enjoy this one until then."Ella smiled at his comment and reached out, touching his cheek." I love you."Jason paused for a minute before mumbling that he loved her to.Ella did not take it as an insult. She felt that maybe he just felt uncomfortable at this time. He has so much excitement going on that maybe his main focus was to become th
"Trust you?" Ella choked out. She was a mix between furious and panicked. She was worried about Tyler , scared of Brook and now the person that betrayed her is asking her to trust him."Yes. Ella. I am sorry. I know I can't change the past but I can protect you now." Bobby inched his way closer to her." My sister wouldn't have needed protecting if you just stayed faithful to her. "Ella stepped back.From the corner of her eyes, she watched Brook start to sit up on the ground. " Her heart pounded in her chest and her hands shook.She started to bang the gym door frantically, screaming for Tyler." No one is coming for you Ella. Trust me. I will keep you safe from Brook. " Bobby grabbed her arm tightly.Ella screamed loudly as he began to pull her towards the forest behind the university.A loud bang, the gym doors swung open and a large silver grey beast jumped out. He sprinted across the park and toppled Bobby onto the grass.Those green eyes were unmistakable.Bobby let out a large
Three o clock came and Ella walked to the library. She felt like a disgrace for not being a team player and letting Tyler do all the work. She decided that although she didn't like him, she would just have to stick it out. Maybe she is wrong about him but only time will tell."Ella. You are being weird. I don't know why you don't like Tyler but eventually it will affect your grades." Mary stood behind Ella who was standing outside the library doors and looking in."Mary. It isn't what it seems." Ella said as she struggled to move her feet into the library. It was if her legs were jelly. Her mind was unwilling to go in no matter how much she persuaded herself."Oh no. Not this again. My Luna had been suppressed for so long and now I had to have a trigger." Ella thought to herself."Ella. We don't have all afternoon. If your aren't going to go in atleast step aside. Justin and I have an assignment to do." Mary snapped.Ella drew in a deep breath, calming her nerves. Her legs had now re
"A literary passage is an excerpt from a written text. It can be as long as a chapter, or as short as a sentence. Usually, the length of a literary passage is several paragraphs long. This excerpt can be any genre of literature, from poetry to fiction." Tyler answered the question.Ella thought that he sounded like a web browser."Thank you, Mr Style's. That is the correct answer." Mrs Moore clapped again." I guess we have two A grade students sitting next to each other. I am sure you two will get on like a house on fire."Ella rolled her eyes at that statement. There was no way she was going to be friends or even an acquaintance with him.Tyler smiled and looked at Ella who just stared at him coldly. There was tension in the air between them."Let us now dig deeper into the passage. What is this passage about? Who wrote it? Why do you think he wrote it? Does it have a deeper meaning?" Mrs Moore asked.The only two people who actually answered the questions were Tyler and Ella. "You
Ella's blood froze in her body when she heard the words that flowed out of Annie's mouth.Annie was apologetic but Ella was now growing angrier by the second. Annie had gone back on her word.She was supposed to make sure that Bobby, Brook and Jason spent their entire five year sentence in prison and rehab.Bobby and Brook were let off on good behaviour while Jason was on parole.Ella's fists clenched as she disconnected the call.She wondered if that was Bobby or just the boy she had met.Monday morning Ella reached her class and took her seat. Everyone was silent and Mrs Moore called someone in from outside of the class."Meet Mr Style's Tyler Styles.He had just transferred in from another college to complete his final year of journalism with us."Everyone greeted in unison and he nodded back at them.Ella knew that this was the boy from Salt Rock and it irritated her."Please have a seat next to Ella." Mrs Moore pointed to Ella.His surname made her stare at him coldly. She wonder
"Ella. Will you be my girlfriend." Scott whispered lovingly in her ear."This can't be." Ella mumbled to herself.Scott stepped away when he heard those words. He didn't stand a chance to be her boyfriend and she made it quite clear. He didn't want to offend her again by being in her presence after asking her such a question. Her answer was quite clear and Scott walked away.James followed Scott while Mary excused herself to go to the ladies.Ella stood frozen in place.It was dark where she had seen that familiar figure. She rubbed her eyes thinking that she was mistaken but those features were unmistakable. She looked at her phone and up again but the familiar face she had seen was now gone.Her throat was dry and her palms were sweaty.She weaved her way through the crowd to get a closer look at where she had seen that person she thought she knew so long ago.As people danced, Ella tried to maneuver her way through the basketball pitch without getting bumped. She had finally made i
*Three years later*Ella had forgotten about her revenge, she reminisced about the homecoming dance at Palm beach high as she touched the large trophy on the shelf in her dorm room. Although the university was a half an hour drive from her home, she opted to stay at the university. She thought that she would get more work done here than she did at home.She only had this to complete before she would do her practicals at the Palm newspaper firm.She now wondered if she ever did want to be a lawyer or was she just living in some fantasy.She felt as if she had sacrificed too much of herself.Although many boys at the university tried to date her, Ella wasn't much of the dating type. Most of them just wanted a quick fling or a long-term relationship that would probably end up in marriage. It was three years and Annie and Ella had drifted apart. Annie took up the full time job of being the management at the hotel and both their lives had become equally busy.Annie had even stopped tortu
Ella faked a smile. That afternoon she went home with a glum look on her face."Why the long face, Ella bear?" Patrick asked. He was concerned by her almost lethargic behaviour."The day I hate the most us tomorrow." Ella said as she dragged her bag behind her."I am guessing that it is the homecoming dance. We host it every year Ella. I think it will be good for you to go. You get a second chance . This time you might just enjoy it." Patrick tried to brighten her spirits and change her mind. "It's like rubbing salt to my wounds." Ella grunted." I know that it was a horrible experience, but it led you to me. Trust me. This won't be like the last dance. There is no Bobby or Brook. And besides you don't even have a boyfriend. Who is going to betray you? James Wallas? Or Scott Moore? But the most interesting question is, which one of those dodos is taking you to homecoming dance?" Patrick teased. His tone was light and full of giggles."Oh my gosh , dad. You never fail to surprise me w
The year was almost over , it was the last week of school and Ella had made a lot of friends since her book was published. She had written short stories afterwards for many other anthology books in different countries. Her had become so busy that she had forgotten about her past until they had announced a homecoming dance on the last day of school.Memories flooded Ella's brain and she stormed off into the rest room. The overwhelming feeling made her nauseas and she opened the tap, splashing handfuls of water, wetting her hair and her blouse.She patted her face fry with a paper towel and exited the restroom feeling slightly better."Are you alright?" Scott and James asked Ella as she took her seat next to them in the cafeteria.Ella smiled weakly. " I'm alright. I'm just not a fan of the homecoming dance."They both looked at eachother and then at Ella, they decided not to ask." Well, if you aren't going, then we aren't going." James sipped his milkshake."Don't be foolish. You can'
"Chapter Five.A surprise visit."Annie was laid to rest. Everyone returned home. Peter returned to his study to drown his sorrows with a bottle of whiskey. Martha took Adrianna to her room. It was 6pm and the house was silent. Suddenly a loud knock on the door startled Mr Russell. He peeped through the looking glass on the door and sees old Mr and Mrs Walters. He quickly opens the door and welcomes them in, escorting them to the large sitting room. They sat on the large grey and red L shaped couch. It was italian style, soft and very comfortable. They looked around while they waited. The room was designed beautifully. Annie had designed it herself, red and grey curtains. Her paintings hung on the wall. Throughout the house were Annie's paintings. All were unique like her, beautiful and elegant. They massive 85 inch flat screen was mounted above their electric fire place. And a small glass coffee table was in front of them, letters lay unopen on it. Old Mrs Walters instructed Russell
