Enora

It was Saturday and I lay in bed and looked up at the ceiling. I was up later than I usually would be.

As silent as I was, my mind was working overtime. The events of yesterday still haunted me and whenever they took centre stage in my mind's eye, my heart skipped a beat.

I was also supposed to move to my condo today. Emily and Anthony were supposed to help me but now, I was considering changing plans. I wasn't sure I could face Anthony after what almost happened.

Urghh!

I knew he liked me. He told me clearly and somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew he was going to try to kiss me and even with everything spelled out for me in black and white, I still chickened out.

Something just clicked for me in that moment. I had had a great time with him but when he came to kiss me, something felt odd.

He felt strange and those butterflies flew away. It was like they were never there to begin with.

My phone was stuffed in my bag and on silent mode. He had probably sent me dozens of texts

    Nathan:"Come back and sit, Enora."I had been watching her the entire time, at breakfast. I didn't need to look at her to know that she was squirming like a little caterpillar.She turned to look at me, her eyes moist, itching to burst out into tears.I took a deep breath. I didn't see why she was looking like that.She sat down slowly on the chair that faced me. Her fingers knitted into each other, restless and unable to find a position to confirm to while they were on her lap."What is on your mind? You've been jumpy all day."She was silent. Her face was lowered as she stared at the floor, at the feet and her nervously curled toes."I... I... I'm sorry."I closed my laptop and put it aside, giving her my undivided attention even though she evaded my gaze."What are you sorry for, Enora?"Her mouth opened and then shut almost immediately as no words came out. Her fingers knitted themselves even faster and her toes curled even more."I am waiting," I added calmly, easing into my sea

    EnoraI hurried up to my room, slammed the door behind me and threw myself onto my bed. Tears streamed down my face and my heart felt like it was shattering.What did Mr. Wright just say to me? What was he even talking about? I didn’t… I didn’t want to be just his employee.What was I even saying?I buried my face deeper into the pillow and cried even harder. Who was I to suddenly want to change a decision I had already chosen to make? I was the one that told him that I wanted space and now that he had given it to me, I was now whining and complaining about it.Fuck! I didn’t even have a reason to cry about this. This was all my fault, all my decision. I wanted this and I didn’t dare have the right to feel bad.I was the one who was complaining about Bridget knowing and how I wanted more. I said that he wasn’t going to be able to give me more. I was the one that said that he didn’t love me and now that he was cutting me loose, I was actually being a bitch about it.I took a deep brea

    Enora“Anthony! Emily!”They came up the stairs and greeted me with a big smile. Emily was in a good mood today. She was jumpy every day but today was a little different. I guess she and Luke had a great time last night.“Oh my goodness! Good evening Sir. It is a pleasure to meet you.”Mr. Wright offered Emily his hand she shook it eagerly. My heart was racing. He smiled politely but I knew he wasn’t looking at her. His eyes were slightly above her head was were locked in a gaze with Anthony, who stared back unafraid.Yeah, I couldn’t take this anymore. Things were getting too dicey for comfort.“Okay, let’s get this packing started,” I blurted out, breaking the eye contact between Mr. Wright and Anthony before the room spontaneously combusted. “We still have to meet Bridget to get the rest of my things from there.”Emily hurried into my room and squealed.“Oh my god! You have Harry Potter!”I smiled nervously, grabbed Anthony and pulled him away from Mr. Wright. Well, I knew one thin

    Enora:I continued to cough and Bridget rushed to my side patting my back and getting on her knees.“Enora, are you all right? What is going on? Why are you coughing?”I lifted my head and I was in all of my own acting skills. I have no idea how I was able to get tears to come out of my eyes.I had Elliot where I wanted him to be. All I needed to do was to tell Bridget that her boyfriend was trying to get with me again just like you did those years ago and she would break off with the asshole. I didn't understand what she saw in him anyway and he had proven more than once that he didn't deserve her and I was not going to let her sit back and make the same mistake over again.I'm fine, it's just that...Was I really going to do this? What if I told Bridget about her boyfriend and she didn't believe me just the way she didn't believe me when the incident first occurred? Was I really willing to take that risk?"...Got a face load of dust bunnies and they are making me cough. I must be al

    Enora:I watched Anthony and Emily leave and just as they drove out of the gates, the rain began to fall. Not a soft drizzle but a torrential downpour with blustering winds that blew the plants and hedges strongly to the side.Without wasting time, I dashed inside and closed the door behind me before rain could invade the living room.Fiona was already working to get all the windows closed and I joined her.“Miss Lopez, don't worry yourself. You just got here and you need some rest. How about you get yourself settled in while I make dinner for you? I am sure you must be famished.”I really wanted to help but I knew that arguing with her wasn’t going to get me anywhere. I knew that she was just trying to do her job. And come to think of it, I was really tired.With nothing else to do and I load of things scattered in the living room, I guess my best option was to get it all sorted out as soon as possible. I grabbed the lightest thing and hoisted it up the stairs to my room.Each step f

    Enora:I survived my first morning in a gigantic house. The bed felt cold and even with the sheets changed, I could still smell him, his cologne, my juices when he spanked me. I loved it and now I was here, thinking about him.A groan escaped my lips as I turned in my large bed. I told him I wanted to be alone and now, I was complaining and wishing he was here. How pathetic could I get?"Miss Lopez, are you awake?"Fiona called from the other side of the door and I sat up. I wondered what time it was."Yes."The door opened and a smile was spread over her kind old face."Good morning. Breakfast is ready and I need to know if there is anything you need me to do?""No. It's still supposed to be your weekend off. You can go home and spend the rest of the day. I'll see you tomorrow."She opened her mouth but closed it immediately after and nodded.She left and I was alone with my thoughts.I grabbed my phone that lay on the bed side table. It was past 8 am. I had never slept in so late, e

    Enora:I stood there, dumbfounded, my jaw slack as I stared at the unwanted visitor that had graced my new condo on a sunday morning. gradualy, my surprise morphed into anger. My hands fell to my side, balled into a fist and trembling slightly. What was he even doing here? Did Bridget know that he was here?Just as I was about to slam t he door shut in his ugly, smug face, he stepped in, pushing past him and letting himself in the living room.“I see you have finally got yourself settled in. Lovely.”“Get out Eliot,” I snapped. “You aren’t supposed to be here.”He turned, smiling at me, his eyes searching my face and my body with a hunger that made my skin crawl in disgust.“Easy, sweetie. I only came because I left my wallet.”My eyes made big sarcastic circles in their sockets. The old ‘I forgot my wallet’ scheme. That was the oldest trick in the book. I can’t believe Bridget would fall for that. What did he do to her?!“Your wallet isn’t here. Eliot,” I said angrily, heaving a sigh

    Enora:My voice was trapped in my throat. This would have been the perfect time for the ground to open up and swalow my but it didn’t.“Mr. Wright, good morning,” Anthony said politely, handing his out for a shake.Mr. Wright glared at the hand and time in the universe came to a halt.“Good morning, Enora, Anthony. May I come in?”Anthony put his hand down and slid it back into my pocket. His arm was still around my waist when I stepped aside and let Mr. Wright in. Alarms were still going off in my brain, every fibre of me was screaming at me to take Anthgony’s hand off but the damage had been done. It was too late now.As Mr. Wright came in, his eyes surveyed the living room while I held my breath. What was he looking for? Did he not like the changes to the place?It took a while but finally, his eyes stelled on the table where is scented candle lay. My heart stopped for a moment as I watched him walk towards it and pick it up.“You didn’t burn it?” he asked, not taking his eyes off

    Enora:I didn’t know what came over me. It was a final desperate attempt to save myself. My face was in pain, my body ached, and my pride was shattered. I never expected this from Anthony. Why? I thought he genuinely liked me and thought I had hurt him by letting him down. But it was all a ploy, a little part of a grand scheme, but unfortunately, he had hit a rock. While he was distracted, mocking Mr. Wright, I found an opening. I moved my legs slowly, freeing them from his grasp and finally letting the blood run through my numb muscles. I only had one shot at this. One shot or I would be raped and I would have to live with that regret for the rest of my life. I really thought that Anthony just wanted to talk, just wanted closure for what I had told him earlier. How wrong I was. I was foolish to have stayed alone with him. And now, I had everyone in trouble. I could only imagine what was wrong with George.With the little energy I had, the kick was explosive, right to his groin. A

    Nathan:I couldn't stop pacing. Wine glass in hand, thoughts flying, my eyes darting to my phone every few minutes.She hadn't called me. Her part was supposed to start at 7pm, and it was almost 10pm. Yet, nothing from her.The wine I sipped did nothing to calm my frayed nerves. No calls, no texts. What was she doing?I slipped into a chair and sighed, my mind going haywire.Fun? Was she having fun without me? Who else could she be smiling with?My grip on my glass tightened. She told me that those bastards weren't coming. Did she lie to me?No. She couldn't have. My kitten didn't lie, and even if she did, I would know.I exhaled and checked my watch. Time was moving slowly, and it drove me up the wall."Fuck it!"I grabbed my phone and sent a text. I wanted to be sure that she was not with those predators. I hated them. Even hate wasn't sufficient.The reply was instant. And I heaved a sigh of relief. She wasn't with them. I could rest a little better.I walked over to my desk and go

    Enora:“What the hell is going on?” I demanded, standing up from the sofa and staring at Anthony with hate and suspicion.He stood up as well and walked towards me, smiling wickedly as he took me in with lust and disdain.“You had to have known that this was coming, Enora,” he said darkly, chuckling dryly and looking to the door as if he expected someone to come in.“You know, there's just something about you in the office that just doesn't seem to sit well with me.”I backed away, trying my best to increase the distance between the both of us. “Stay away from me!” I yelled, but Anthony’s laughter just continued to become more sinister. Where the hell was George? He should have realized that something was amiss by now.“If you're thinking about your buff gardener, just know that he was incapacitated a few minutes ago. He won't be coming to your aid, Enora.”My heart skipped a beat. What was happening? How the hell did I end up this deep in trouble? Who was he? Was he even the real An

    Enora:Nicki took centre stage and called for a game of charades. Everyone began to pair up in twos. Luke was still with Emily, Jay was with Gina, Eliot opted out of the game and surprisingly, Anthony paired up with me. I was a little uneasy as he sat next to me. We weren’t on speaking terms but at least he wasn’t mad enough to detest me and avoid me like I was the black plague. “Alright, I believe you all know the rules of this game. The first team to guess gets a point. No cheating and no trying to make your teammate win by using any funny hand signs. G, you’re up.”Gina took the stage and pulled a paper from the hate. She looked at it and made a face. I could only imagine what the hell she picked.Soon she raised her hands above her head and began to bend in the funniest way. The crazy guesses commenced.“Line!”“Straight!”“Balloon guy!” She shook her head and lowered her hand. She imitated someone who was drawing and went back to her first action. “You are an artist!

    Enora:There was a heavy silence in the room. All eyes were fixed on Eliot, on one knee, holding out a ring. Bridget was dumb dumbfounded. For a few minutes, she was unable to say anything and I couldn’t blame her. This was a shock to all of us. Eliot had just cheated on her and now he was trying to propose to her. “Bridget, please say something.”Bridget said nothing as was still staring at the ring in disbelief, like it was all part of a dream, that her ex-boyfriend of just a day ago was proposing to her.“Bridget, I…”A resounding slap filled the room and everyone’s hands flew to their mouths and gasps rippled inthe room. I was stunned. Bridget was not a fighter and she wasn’t one to lose her head over things but I could understand her reaction to this.“You cheated on me with some girl named, Vanessa, and now you have the audacity to show up to this party uninvited to prose to me?! How stupid are you? How stupid do you think I am?”Her voice was raised and was shakey. I wanted

    Enora:It was 6:45 pm. The guests were going to be here any moment from now. I was dressed and so was Bridget. It also turned out that her yelling on the phone was beneficial. The bakery was able to deliver just in time. The macrons were perfect, I didn't want to seem greedy but I had had my eyes on them all day since they arrived. I had even tried to snatch one but eagle-eyed Bridget had caught me just before I could pick one off the tray. She had also made a call to Choi’s and they promised to bring some food. Bridget put it all on her tab and I was so grateful to her. This party wouldn’t have been a success without her. By 7:00 pm sharp, the first guests arrived. There was a knock at the door and I opened it to see Gina standing there all dolled up in a beautiful black dress. It had been a while since I saw her but I could tell that she was in good spirits. I took it that she got the memo from Mr. Wright and that she was innocent. I was happy that she was back to her beautiful

    Enora:"Enny, who is at the door?” Bridget called from inside. I was too ashamed to say anything and Anthony came inside behind me. I didn’t need to see his face to know that he was pissed. His smiley and carefree attitude had vanished into thin air and he was icy and distant.“Hey, Tony,” Bridget said with a smile but her smile quickly vanished and she looked at me with shock. Her eyes were everything but there was no way that I could tell her what was going on as well. She was just as involved as she was. “I’ll go and get the ladder from George. You two can decide where to hang the banner.”She left–I really wished she didn’t–I was alone with Anthony. He came to stand in front of me and I forced my head up to look at his heated expression.“What the hell, Enora,” he said roughly, his voice just a few shades away from a yell. I have been trying to reach you for almost three days. You just ghosted me. No calls, texts, voice notes and to make matters worse, you wouldn’t even return a

    Chapter 213Enora:There was a knock at my door and my phone dropped from my hand. I looked at the time, it was still very early in the morning. It had to be Bridget. As I opened the door, she stood there in a very unfashionable top and a pair of dark purple sweatpants.Compared to yesterday, she was in a much better mood and she wore a warm smile on her face.“Hey, I hope you're ready because we're going to be very busy today,” she said excitedly and she entered my house.She was clutching a little bag, her hair was tied in a messy ponytail. It was one of those rare sights, seeing Bridget unfashionable and unkempt in the morning. Even when her hair was a messy sight, she was still so pretty.As she entered my living room, her eyes widened and her jaw dropped.“Are all these for the party?” She asked, heading over to my centre table.“Yeah, I also bought a few things for myself. Turns out I'm running out of shampoo.”She reached for my hair and ruffled it playfully. “Of course, you

    Chapter 212Enora:Saturday came faster than I had expected. I even slept in. Bridget and I had been on the phone for so long, last night that we both fell asleep on each other during the call. I was still trying to roll out of bed when my phone began to ring. I grabbed it sleepily and saw that it was Bridget.“Hey girl,” I said with a yawn as I pressed the green button. “How are you?”“Good,” she replied even though she was just as sleepy as I was. “I’ll be coming over to your place soon. Get out of bed so that we can get this party started.”I chuckled sleepily. “You’re still in bed too. Don't call the kettle black.”“I am certainly not calling any pots or kettles black,” she argued playfully. “Get out of bed sleepy bones. We have a lot to do.”The call ended and I got out of bed. The floors were cold and my toes curled as soon as they touched them. A thought immediately forced me awake and I hurried to the bathroom. As soon as I closed the doors behind me, I pulled down my trou
