Please, please don't!" I begged. "You can have me" "I am yours, just leave my mum alone" tears streamed down my eyes as I pleaded. All the time I feared Jake could hurt me, I never once thought he would try to hurt my parents. "Now you are talking babe" he said moving back to his seat. "I love you" he smiled staring at me for an answer, I sobbed as I responded, "I love you too" before he hung up.As soon as he hung up I dialed my father's number. "Hey sweetheart" my father said picking up the call. "Is mum in the hospital again" I wondered, I had no idea my mother was back in the hospital, when we spoke the day before everything was fine. "yes dear, we didn't want to inform you" my father explained, his voice laced with concern. "but I thought the doctors said the cancer is gone?" I asked."yes, don't worry about it dear" my father said with a low tone, his voice laced with sadness. "Please tell me what is going on" I pleaded, I hated how my parents kept their problems from me,
His eyes traced my body, "Surely, you know, you have to pay for using me" inhaling the air, "You still smell like Vanilla" he smirked, he was so close to me, that I could feel the bulge in his pants. "I can't get you off my mind, Iris" he continued, his anger suddenly turning to lust, I could see it in his eyes, he focused on every inch of me like he wanted to take me in. My mind was lusting too, if I had Iris's mask on I would have pleaded with him to take me, punish me, I would have submitted to the part of me burning for his touch, but I had no courage. "You shouldn't have used me" he growled, stepping back and composing himself."I am not someone to mess with" he continues his voice getting calmer as he moves back to his table. "I expect your resignation letter on my desk before you leave, and I suggest you stay away from my son and New York," he said.My brows furrowed, "what" I exclaimed, I saw this playing differently in my head. "This is me treating your offence lightly,"
My jaw dropped at the sight of Ethan and Irene kissing."Excuse me!" I yelled, feeling a surge of anger rise through me. "I am sorry sir, she barged in" Beatrice apologized standing right behind me"It's okay" Ethan waved at Beatrice to go back to her job. "I am guessing you saw my message?" He said casually, releasing Irene from his grip. "What message," I frowned glaring at them as they stood in a compromising position. "I asked Alfred to deposit in your account, my apology for yesterday" he smiled as he looked at Irene who blushed close to him."I thought she was you," he said placing a peck on her cheek, the sight of him kissing her was sickening as I tried not to throw up. "She is Iris" he introduced her to me, she had a wide grin on her face but I could tell she was clueless. How could he fall for that shit?"Really!" I exclaimed, glaring at her as she nodded."I am the masked girl he was with at the fundraiser, I had no idea he was searching" she said turning to face him,
Three days later. "Good morning," Jake said, sitting beside me."good morning" I yawned struggling to clear my eyes, after Irene's words I decided to take the break Ethan suggested, going to Ashville to spend time with my family.Jake was still there, after seeing how amazing he was with them, I considered giving us a second chance. "Mum is getting out of the hospital today," he pointed out placing a plate of sandwiches by the bedside."Uhum" I nodded staring at the sandwich, I still had trouble trusting him, especially after he had shown me just how crazy he could be. "Aren't we going to take her home?" He asked and I nodded sitting up from the bed and slowly grabbing the plate, I observed the sandwich, before staring at him as I took a bite. "umm, this is great," I said munching down the amazing grilled cheese sandwich, Jake was an excellent cook."Thank you" he blushed, taking the plate from my lap, "Get ready okay" he placed a kiss on my cheek before walking out of the room.
I instantly regretted yelling, "Is everything okay?" My father asked."It's just too much," I said glancing at my father before staring at Jake who had his devilish smile.His smile scared the shit out of me, "What do you want me to stop darling" His voice echoed, the voice he used when he was about to show his crazy side. My heart raced as he asked, "It...it's, just a little too much" I stuttered as my parents watched in quietly. "I think what Emily is saying is, you are doing too much for us son, it's overwhelming" My father explained. "I know you love our daughter dearly but, you two a still just dating, getting her parents a restaurant is much" My mother continued, they both always finished each other's sentences. "This is from my father and not me, Emily knows how much I love her, my love for her has no bounds," He says to them pulling me by the waist."Right baby?" he asked, and I nodded only out of fear. "Yes," I replied trying to put my parents at ease."I was just a lit
Ethan surfed his computer feeling restless, he had finally found Iris yet he didn't feel as satisfied as he expected to.He felt no spark. Instead, he found himself thinking about someone else. “She is your son’s girlfriend,” he reminded himself, as he stared at Emily's table.There was something about her that made his heart flutter, from the moment he set his eyes on her. he wished she was Iris. A Knock on the door interrupted his train of thought, he raised his head to find Irene by the door with a wide grin.“Are we still on for dinner?” she asked.He looked at the time. he had spent the whole day thinking about Emily, “sure” he replied, grabbing his coat and getting to his feet. “Instead of Dinner” Irene said walking towards him.“I was thinking we could go to your place” she suggested closing the gap between them and leaning in for a kiss.“No” Ethan replied bluntly, he was starting to get irritated by Irene. Irene was taken aback by his bluntness her eyes widened in shock. “
I raised my head to find Ethan smiling at me, " What are you doing Emily!" He smirked standing by the door. My heart sank."Ah!" I screamed with eyes wide open, searching for a way to cover myself, I put my hands over my body scanning the room for anything to cover myself up but there were none. "Close your eyes, look away" I yelled at Ethan who was gawking at me, "Sorry" he chuckled turning his face and allowing me the chance to run upstairs. As soon as I got to my room, I slammed the door burying my face in my hands.How embarrassing. I wished the floor could swallow me. I am just going to sit here until he goes back to New York. "Babe" I heard a gentle knock on the door, I moved away from the door, burying myself in piles of clothing. "It's me babe, can I come in" Jake asked, Ethan must have told him what happened. You fool I berated myself. who sits naked in front of a door. I felt like a fool."I am coming in" Jake said, pushing the door open, foolish me forgot to lock the d
What. My heart fluttered. Tongue-tied, I blushed like a fool, "I have this desire to make you extremely happy Emily, not because you and my son are dating, but because you deserve all the happiness you could get".As Ethan declared, my mind was in a state of turmoil, what was he saying? Is this a love confession? "I am having dinner, with some clients at The Ballroom, I think you should get a new dress," He said changing the topic, like he didn't just say the sweetest thing I had ever heard. I nodded not saying another word, I wished I had courage, I would have persisted. I sat quietly smiling to myself, 'Don't get the get the wrong idea, he is just being nice' I warned myself.I bit my lower lip trying to contain my thoughts as we got to "Pink" a boutique in the centre of town. "Here you go," Ethan said, handing me his palladium card as he settled into his seat. I paused staring at the card, I had never seen one up close before. "Get whatever you want" He said pushing the card
