After making a deal with Jamie during that talk, I find an excuse and get out of Jamie’s office with my phone.
Knowing that the bathroom is now no longer safe brings me to the pantry. I simply give the pantry a check before I make the call, in case there are some bug devices adapted to the cabinets and table.
After making sure it is safe here, I put down the blinds and make a call with my phone.
Just a second after it is connected, the phone is answered.
“Henry!” Jamie’s voice comes in immediately, her voice sounds a little agitated, “You finally call me…”
While before I can sayIt was eight at night when I arrived at the Peyton Mansion to pick Jamie up.She dresses herself in a beautiful white dress, the hemline covers her legs, only revealing her fair heels in the pale mauve kitten heels.She tucks a strand of her hair to the back of her ear. She lowers her head a little and looks at the floor as she smiles.She looks like a pure, shy, demure young lady… Just the type of girl I dreamt to marry.That night, after picking her up with my car, we did not go to any restaurant to have a meal. Instead, I’ve brought her to the North Avenue Beach.The colorful lights of the city draw the Chicago skyline on the purple ca
The next morning, I woke up in my same old bed, in my same old bedroom of my same old penthouse, located in this same old city on this same old planet…Yet something is different.There is another person in my bed, a woman I love, waking from in my cuddle. Naked.She puts up a sweet smile as she gives me her first greetings in this brand new morning, “Good morning, Henry.”With a smile on my face, I put a kiss on her forehead, “Good morning, Jamie.”She closes her eyes and snuggles in my arms, “It is like a dream to wake up beside you...”Gently, I caress
I take out an extra toothbrush from the cabinet for Jamie, after we brush our teeth, we start to kiss again.“Your kiss smells good.” she smiles.I chuckle, “Back at you.”I carry Jamie up and put her onto the bathroom countertop. We put our tongues into each other’s mouths.She grabs my shoulders and pulls me close, she spreads her legs and wraps her legs around my waist.In my ear, she whispers, “I want you inside me, Henry.”As I hear her seduction, my heart thumps hard and fast, my breath accelerates, a
It is the moment Jamie discovers the mole under the tail of my left eyebrow when she jumps down from me and dashes out of my bathroom with a complicated expression on her face.It was the water from the shower that washed off the concealer I applied on my mole.She picks up the towel and wraps her body up as she walks away from the bathroom. When she turns around, she sees me coming out of the bathroom putting up a towel around my waist.“Don’t come here! Stay back!” Jamie screams as she swipes her wet hair to the back. She picks a magazine up from the table next to her and points at me, “I said stay back! Henry Nosrevi!”Nervously, I put up my hands and show her my palms, telling that
After Jamie left, I returned to my penthouse and put on my clothes. I grab my phone, my keys, and dashes out of my penthouse again. I get in my car and head to Minerva, where I thought she would be.As I drive, I keep calling her. I called her several times, yet not once did she pick it up.Her phone keeps directing me to her voicemail box. I want to talk to her personally, yet I can’t do it if she doesn’t answer her phone.I keep calling, and calling, until suddenly, the call can no longer be connected. She has switched off her phone, I can no longer reach her.“This is the voicemail box for the number…”The
Before I knew it, the sky had turned dark.I am at a fountain at the end of the street, I sit on the black marble fountain basin with a bottle of opened beer next to me.I look at the bottle of beer, finding it is still almost full. Bitterly I chuckle at myself.Now I know how bad it is to be a man who is not able to drink. I don’t want to stay in my penthouse, or the bar, or anywhere filled with people I know. I want to be by myself just with a bottle of beer that can allow me to forget things.But I can’t drink in public. I’ll start to undress myself.I am a miserable man, yet I can’t even drink… How much sadder can it be?
I spent the following days waiting for Jamie to return my call.On the other hand, as my boss, Jamie hasn’t yet fired me, so technically, I am still her secretary. Although it was the weekend, I reported to work as usual.Not as Henrietta Chandelier anymore, but as Henry.The big Donald Duck plush I won from the funfair last night, I brought it here and placed it on Jamie’s couch. I wasn’t trying to please her with that, it’s just, I knew she likes Donald Duck, and I want her to be happy, that’s all.Jamie hasn’t been showing up in Minerva, yet I bought her favorite ristretto and grape wine lamb and porcini lasa
“Daniella…” I called her from behind as I caught her red handed, “What are you doing with my phone?” I questioned in a dubious tone.“Henry…” while Daniella puts up a smile on her face as she sees me, “I was just checking your phone, it is bad if the juice destroys it, right?” she then passes the phone to me, “But it’s all fine. I’ve wiped it for you, as clean as new. Here you go.”I remain my eyes on Daniells for a second before I take my phone back. I unlock it and check my phone, nothing abnormal is going on.My phone is fine, it seems like what she said was true, she didn’t touch it, she was just checking if the juice caused damage to it. Moreover, she wasn’t hiding wh
