Dave, Elena’s father coughed. Deliberately.
But they didn’t bulge. They were locked in each other’s arms.
Dave coughed again.
Then again.
This time, Elena pulled away. Cameroon let her go easily. His hands lingered on her hair. She had washed them as he suggested. And she hadn’t dried them. So they were still wet.
He let her go.
Elena turned to face her dad.
“I’m going out briefly with him.”
Dave didn’t respond. But he had thoughts running through his head. He had lost his daughter, not physically but all her memories were gone. And he was helping her get back into a schedule. And here was this guy, an alleged murderer, wanting to take her away. He was uncomfortable. But he also realized that Elena was an adult. And even though he loved her, he had to always remember that she was responsible for her decisions. She didn’t need his permission to go out. Even if it meant going out with this guy that stood in his living roo
Elena sat by the door of her bedroom. Her back to it. she had her knees curled up and her head buried into them. She cried. She had not seen that reaction coming. Not after they had made such passionate love-making to one another. For minutes she sat and cried. Not loud cries but soft gentle deep tears. She heard Susan come up to the door. Heard her ask “honey. Are you okay/ would you like me to come in? or do you need a minute?” Elena didn’t respond. She pressed her back against the door and when Susan tried to open it, she was met with some sort of resistance so she didn’t bother. For the first time since she traveled back in time, Elena missed her home. The future. She allowed herself to think of her sisters, her mother, and her best friend, Cheryl. Elena opened the door to the memories. A door she had shut. And as she opened up to them, the memories and the emotions they held flooded her head. She couldn’t place it. She was sure he felt the same w
Cameroon sat in his lawyer’s office and listened to everything that was being said. The lawyer was speaking about the next steps to take with his trial. He said something about a meeting with the presiding judge. Cameroon was trying his best to pay attention to his lawyer but it wasn’t working. He kept getting distracted over and over again. His mind wandered. To her. Elena.He was lost in the thoughts of her and soon, he could no longer hear the words been spoken by the lawyer. He was lost.His mind kept going back to those moments, where he had finally buried himself inside of her. It had been mind-blowing.He didn’t understand how he could have such a connection with her. In all his life, he had glided through as a playboy. Never fully committing himself to anyone. Even to his wife. But with Elena, it was different. It felt as if he didn’t even have a say in the matter. She owned him. His body. His soul. His spirit.“Cameroon.” His lawyer spoke.Cameroon di
After lunch, Elena sat with her parents for a while. They were out in the deck and taking in some sun. She had put on a generous amount of sunscreen and so was enjoying the leisure with a bottle of water.She was considering her next steps. How she was going to help Cameroon get out of jail. Because she knew he was innocent. Even though she had been upset earlier when he pushed her away, she was now a bit calmer. Maybe he was holding back. Maybe he was scared or whatever. She didn't know why but it didn’t hurt as much anymore. But still, she missed him. every second away from him was pain. Raw pain. Especially after he had buried himself inside her. she could still feel him, his touch, his smell. She pressed her legs together.And tried to push the thought away. Then her phone started to ring. It rang and rang and rang. But Elena did not pick up. Not because she didn’t want to but because she wasn’t with her phone. She had left her phone in her bedroom.So Cameroon
Elena went back to her room and pulled out her laptop. She had the intention of combing the web. For anything that might set Cameroon free from all charges. She wanted to look for anything that will reveal that Fred was in fact alive. And anything that would prove Emma’s involvement as well. She wasn’t going to give up until she found the answers she so desperately wanted. But where was she going to start from? Where? Her dad knocked on her door. She looked up and saw her dad walk in. She shut her laptop. “dad.” “hi. I came to apologize to you.” “apologize? No, dad. It’s fine” “it isn’t Elena. I should listen more. And I Promised your mother. I told her I was going to help you. So here I am. Offering my services. However, you may need them.” “So you aren’t here of your free will?” she asked sarcastically “come of it, Elena. You know she didn’t pull a gun at me. she didn’t make me come here. I’m h
Cameroon had been calling Elena non-stop. She wasn’t picking up. he was in a rage. Hot rage. Why wasn’t she picking? Was she angry with him? over what he had done? Shit. He had not meant it. To hurt her, no he had not. He would never think of hurting her. But she didn’t know that and he wanted her to know it. He had listened to his brother’s suggestion and decided to tell her everything. He wanted to be with her. but didn’t want to hold her back. now she wasn’t taking or returning his calls. Shit. “she isn’t picking still?” Austin's voice cut through his thoughts.” “Yeah. She isn’t.” “what do you want to do? Go see her?” “No man. I was over there today, twice, and it wasn’t pleasant the second time I dropped her off. Her father precisely told me not to come back there.” “damn man. That’s harsh. I feel for you.” But I need to see her. “Okay, let’s hack a plan. We can go in my car. And you stay in the back
It was midnight. And the lovers were still at the beach. They lay there, no words. Counting the stars with their eyes. Elena’s phone had been ringing the whole time, but she didn’t realize it.Her dad had been calling. The lovers held their hands as they looked to the skies. In those moments, Elena was the happiest she could ever be. She was content. This was why she came back, for this man. And right there, her heart was full. She was happy. He made her happy. He completed her. Dave and Susan hadn't gotten any sleep yet. They were waiting up for their daughter whom they had called several times. They hoped she was safe. By midnight, when she wasn’t picking and still wasn’t back home, Dave put a call through to his friend, the new commissioner of police. “hey, chief” the commissioner picked up at the first ring. “Mr. commissioner. Glad I caught you awake.” “I never sleep these days chief. The city never sleeps. This job is one hell
It was Tuesday. January 15th, 2013. In Sydney, Australia.Elena had not had any sleep the previous night and it was no surprise. She had been on the phone with her lover for most of the night. Her lover was probably going to prison that day. Elena was sure of the fact that he was going to be found guilty. She knew this because she came from the future. She simply had to work on getting him out. Before someone killed him in prison. She would have preferred to have him avoid prison totally though but she didn’t have enough time. And even though Cameroon had assured her, that his lawyers were the best and he could be found not guilty, she already knew how it was going to play out.Except, of course, she did something about it. Her dad, Dave was helping her get some facts. She had watched him for the last two days. He seemed dedicated to it. She had asked him about it but he hadn’t said much. He only told her that he was working with the commissioner to reveal
“sweetheart, come here” those were Cameroon’s words as Elena ran to him. she threw herself into his arms and wept. The tears started gently but in no time, they came pouring out. She had been holding on to them for too long. She didn’t want him gone. Their relationship was just starting. She pulled her head away from his shoulder. She was starting to smear his suit. Cameroon held her in place as she tried to pull away. His heart broke. She was crying and the truth was that he wanted to do the same. To reassure her that he was going to be okay but he wasn’t even sure about that. He didn’t know if he was going to be okay. And even though he just met her, every tear that came out of her eyes tore at his soul. It was indescribable. He finally allowed her to pull away. There were no words. But he had to be brave, and bold. For her. He couldn’t allow her to see how hurt and heartbroken he was. The reporters and paparazzi were swimming at the entrance to the

Dec 1st, 2013.In Sydney, Australia.Elena and Cameroon’s wedding day.It had been a long four months of wedding planning for Elena. Susan was going all out, helping her daughter plan the perfect wedding. The food, guest list, dresses, and all. But Susan wasn’t the only one, her friends too were helping. Every step of the way. All hands on deck. They had only four months to plan the perfect Billionaire wedding. But one thing everyone all agreed on from the start, was the location of the wedding.They were having it on Elena’s yacht.It had to be. It was the perfect location. Within that four months, Elena had gone house shopping with her soon-to-be husband, Cameroon and they had found the perfect home.It was a six-bedroom bi-level home. And Elena fell in love with it.It was the perfect fit. They had found out they were having triplets and so they needed a big home.The house was spread on a wide acre of Land. But some
Elena sat at the back seat of the Bentley. She had texted her friends to let them know she was on her way. And they confirmed that they were already there. waiting.
Sunny Friday afternoon- check.Cameras- check.Shopping bags- check.Five friends- check.Credit card- double-check.All items were checked as the five friends headed out on Friday to prepare for the dinner that was happening the next day. Carrie was the designated driver for the day. She picked everyone from their homes in her range rover.The friends had all screamed over the phone when Elena had told them the good news. She still felt weird that she was telling them before she told Cameroon but it already happened.Now they were all in Carrie’s car, riding to the first stop.Elena’s friends were all quick to jump on board. Just like Vanessa had been. And she noticed that too. They all seemed so eager.“So where’s our first stop?” Nicole asked as she entered the car. She was the last person to join them.“massages first, I already booked us an appointment at t
Elena leaned backward into her toilet seat and peed on the stick. She closed her eyes and waited. Counted even. And it turned out again with the positive sign. She had peed on six different sticks already. This was the seventh stick.And it was also positive.Jeez, she swirled around. She laughed, she cried. Nit painful tears but soft happy tears.She was pregnant. With Cameroon’s child.She was engulfed with a feeling of great pleasure and happiness. She wanted to run out to tell him but she was at her own apartment. Elena picked up the phone to call him and stopped herself. No, this wasn’t something she was going to tell him over the phone. She was going to tell him in person.Without a doubt, Elena knew that Cameroon was going to be excited about the news. Just as she was. Her parents were going to be excited too. And her friends! Oh her friends will be too. She placed her hands over her stomach. Straining to see if she could feel the ba
It had been three months since Elena broke things off with Jake. She hadn’t heard from him the whole time. But her friend, Nina had come to her. Nina had taken her to lunch on a sunny Monday afternoon. The meeting wasn’t planned, especially since the girls had gotten together for their usual weekly hangouts.But Elena hadn’t thought much about it. When she received Nina’s text.She simply nodded and drove to the location Nina had asked them to meet.By the time she arrived, Nina was already there. Under a square umbrella. Nina. Nina stood up and waved immediately she caught sight of Elena.And Elena walked to her table.“this early lunch is on you by the way.” Elena joked as she approached her friend.“hahaha. No Probs, Elena. It is nice to see you.”Elena pulled out a chair and sat in it. “it is nice to see you too, even though I saw you two nights ago.” She
Jake was in his home, alone in his thoughts. He had been binging on some movies the night before.It was a Friday night and he had wanted to talk to her. He had picked up his phone so many times but ended up putting it back down.He wanted her to come to him. He wanted her to choose him.And it was beginning to take forever. That made him sad. So he had sat in front of his TV, blocking everything out, and watched several shows till he fell asleep.He woke up the next morning, on his couch. He checked his phone first, no call had come in for him.Then he made his way to the bathroom. Before reaching the bathroom, his doorbell rang.His heartbeat surged.He guessed who it could be. He wasn’t expecting anyone and hadn’t made any orders.But he flung open the door.And there she was, Elena.He grinned. “come on in.” She accepted the invitation and stepped in. The smell of her perfume surrounded him as she came in. She clutched her bag li
The wine Cameroon had come with had a rich taste. Just like she had expected it to. It was a fourteen-year-old bottle made from one of the best wine yards in France.Elena poured herself another glass. Still silent.Her candle still burning.She started to play with his nipples. And Cameroon Jerked. He swallowed again.“Babe,” he whispered.“yes.”“I want to get to know you.”“This is you knowing me.” She teased.He could see the laughter in her eyes.She got up from the couch, set her glass on her desk, and stood in front of him.He looked up at her.She started to unbutton her shirt. She paused at the first button. And teased him some more with her eyes.Slowly, she opened one button after the other. Till she got to the end and then she slipped off the shirt.Her shirt fell to the ground. And spread.She took her hands to her back and unclasped her br
Friday arrived.It was a date night for Elena and Cameroon. And the perfect night. The night was slightly chilly. And the wind was stronger than usual.Elena had spent most of her day in the office. Preoccupied with work. She had caught up on almost all the backlogs and was the only person still in the office. The last person to leave checked out an hour ago. Even the cleaning service had finished up for the day.But not Elena. She was still working. Elena wasn’t exactly a workaholic, but on this day, she simply wanted to pour out herself till she was empty. She had started out the day with a lot of backlogs.That was one of the reasons.And the other reason? She was distracting herself.From thinking about him. Not him, Cameroon. But him, Jake.She had tried so hard to sleep the previous night. But had ended up staying late till 4.00 am and she was up again at 7.00 am.She couldn’t stop her brai
