Ella:
He pulled me towards him against the door and looking in my eyes asked cheekily, “What do you think I'm doing?”
He starts kissing my shoulder all the way up to my neck, tickling my senses. His hands start grazing around my back and slide all the way down to grab my ass. By now, his lips had reached for mine, kissing fervently as if he was running out of time.
I could smell the onion bagel which he normally has from the Bagels bakery around the corner. I tried to kiss him right back but I just couldn’t seem to. His tongue was trying to push past my lips to explore my mouth further but my jaw just jammed shut refusing to give him access.
His fingers had started toying with the buttons of my blouse. I felt his hard erection jutting at me between my thighs and my skirt was raised all the way up to my waist.
“It’s almost 9 am now, people will start coming to the office. I don’t want to be caught like this Joe” I whispered nervously to him.
He replied, “ Oh c’mon Ella, we haven’t done it even once since we started dating” and continued to kiss me. Breathing heavily he tried to reassure me saying “I know you’re a virgin, I shall be gentle baby, I promise”
Ever since we started dating, we would kiss occasionally outside the office in cafes and places where I knew my step-mum or sisters would never visit. Else they would turn my already miserable life into a living hell.
Joe would always try to make out with me and I would give in a couple of times but I always stopped him when his hands went inside my pants. I wanted Joe to be my charming prince, to marry and rescue me from my extended family, not just have casual sex and walk away from each other.
He carried me over to the back of the room and held me against the rack of files. He frisked his hands over my breasts pressing them like he was kneading the dough for making pasta. I almost started laughing thinking about it.The very next moment his fingers pushed my underwear aside and rubbed me hard repeatedly and I felt “NOTHING”
This was the first time a guy had ever touched me down there. I really loved Joe with all my heart. How could I possibly feel “NOTHING”?
I have never explored myself ever down there because I was always so scared. My friends would talk about how they would experience multiple orgasms in their sexual escapades. I had read in all of those romantic novels that such acts of love make the body feel things they have never experienced before.
Maybe this is how it was supposed to be or perhaps, I was incapable of feeling anything down there. For me, love was more than just sex. There’s chemistry and intuition, and I felt like he was rushing into something that I had treasured for so long.I wanted it to be special, and not lose it like this in some dusty office file room.
The sound of the zipper sliding down from Joe’s trousers brought me back to reality. “Oh my god, what am I going to do?”
Ella:“Stoppp Joe!!! I can’t do this!” I pushed him away with my arms.
Ella:“Nowhere, just went to the washroom for a bit,” lying because I did not want another lecture.
Ella:I pop a kiss to Joe and headover to Trader Joe’s for a grocery trip before going back home. The rest of the team was heading over to a nearby bar for a few drinks. I couldn't go because I did not have a life besides work.
Ella:“No, I am not!” I looked up facing all the three of them, all calm and confident but deep down I was shocked and scared. Why was she asking me this question all of a sudden!?
Ella:I learnt from Helen that the conference was a huge success. Everybody on our team got significant leads to give them the required headstart for December, the last month in this quarter as well as the new year.
Ella:Time seemed to be flying with just under a week left for Christmas. I had started tidying the house up since advent. The curtains and bedsheets were changed with fresh linen, carpets vacuumed till every speck of dirt had vanished. Today after dinner, I would sta
Ella:As the clock struck 12 on Christmas Eve, I made a wish asking God to send me my saviour and bless my parent’s souls. After attending the midnight mass, we come out of the church to be welcomed by tiny little flakes of snow colouring the whole landscape of
Ella:As soon as I get up, I flip my phone out and call Joe, “ Baby how are you doing?”
Ella:(Instantly panicking) Oh my god!! He cannot know at any cost...at least right now! Alright calm down, think of something before the officer becomes suspicious!“Hmm Officer, I think you might not be aware of this but I happen to be Mr. Holt’s fiancee, we’re getting married this weekend” I stated, putting on my best smile.“Oh is it? Brilliant news! We from the New York Police Department wish you a very happy married life in advance! Congratulations!” he replied joyfully, extending his hand for a hand-shake.“Thank you so much Officer, we do not need any negative press and wish to put this incident behind us and hence, I have come here to just put an end to all of this. We simply do not wish to get into any legal hassles and
Ella:I woke up to the feeling of someone planting a warm kiss on each eye and then my forehead. Cooing, I dreamily opened my peepers to find James seated beside my bed, looking at me so adoringly, it made me melt.“Good morning Mr. Holt, you’re up early?” I blushed.“Yeah, have a couple of meetings set across the Asian time zones so gotta rush now. Just remembered, you have your spicy bachelorette today, enjoy one of your few last single nights but be good because I’m the bad one here” he threatened, suggestively untying my night-robe.“Stop it or you’ll be late!!” I protested, shyly clutching onto my modesty. He looked deeply into my eyes, kissed my lips for a good few minutes, and let go chuckling, “ I’
Bridget:I quickly rush out of the building not even waiting for momma. The whole pretense of being a happy sister and family during that conversation grossed me out. I should have been living with Mr. Holt in that luxurious condo, being waited upon by concierges, dressed in Dior and diamonds overlooking the NYC skyline...not that (anger slowly seeping inside my every cell again)“Bridget, where are you going? Will you wait for a second?” Momma huffed and puffed, as she finally caught up with me.“You managed to ruin the day for me, I don’t understand why we came to meet her in the first place?”“Because I wanted to know what she was up to? Back home, I could easily keep an eye on her but now!” Momma replied explaining...
Ella:Watching Mary’s fake ass walk in with her equally fake daughter made my heart drop a couple of tons to the ground. Mary wore a pink halterneck top and tight bootleg jeans looking as though she would pick up a customer outside a cheap NY club while Bridget was dressed in a white strappy mini dress. Pushing her botox lips too far apart, she sported a sham smile cooing, “Ella, my dearest daughter, how are you darling?” she asked, hugging and kissing me with absolutely zero affection from my end.“I am fine Mary, why are you here?” I questioned blatantly. It took every ounce of my strength to walk away from the conversation and them.“Well well, do I need a reason to visit my own child? We received your wedding invitation last weekend and today, it just so happens that I was vis
Ella:“Did she mention a name or something Lisa?” I curiously asked her while walking towards the living room. Is this another one of Mr. Holt’s surprises?“Apologies, she claimed to be a certain Mrs.Jonas” Lisa replied. As I entered the room, I saw a very frail-looking 65 something elderly lady dressed in a floral dress with leggings getting up to meet me as I approached her. “Good evening, I’m Joe’s mother” she introduced herself as I stood still, numb, unable to react.Despite dating Joe for over a year, he never introduced me to his family, always acting suspiciously whenever the topic of a family get-together arose. Now I know, he was never really serious about me which is why I never perhaps met his mother.&ldq
Ella:My phone beeped at 7 am and I unlocked it, snoozing the alarm to sleep for a few more minutes. The date displayed on the phone “9th of April...Holy shit!!” Days seemed to be flying at the speed of light. I couldn’t believe I was marrying James, who I was falling deeply in love with every passing day, who cherished me through my brightest highs and loneliest lows.I finally manage to get out of the bed, have a bath, and put on a fresh set of coordinating sweats.By the time I had come down for breakfast, I noticed that Mr. Holt was already done. He got up, fixed his tie, and walked suavely towards me. How is it possible that any man can look so perfect? The grey two-button suit paired with a Burberry white knit fit him like a glove, contemporary yet oh so sexy!
Bridget:My afternoon slumber on the sofa was broken by the sounds of the loud doorbell. I chose not to move because I was so sloshed from all the late-night partying at Mizzoni’s. Mary opened the door, it was the postman, damn his timing! and continued sleeping
Ella:I had only observed in movies how a woman would entice a man while pretending to eat a banana or a strawberry innocently. As though it was a double entendre, a subtle way of enticing him, letting him know what she would like to do to his member, how she would li
Ella:Shaking my head, I frown at him fretting, “You can be so full of yourself James”
