My Best Friend’s Father Wants me Chapter 198
Enora:Mr. Wright pulled me tightly to him and smiled warmly."Last I checked, me and you make a pretty good team. Want to do it again?"My body shivered in delight. Was that even up for debate? Of course, I wanted to dance with him again."We shall only be allowed three couples to dance together. And I shall draw at random from the box."My spirits slightly fell. I couldn't tell how many people had put their names in the box, but it was very likely that Mr Wright and I wouldn't be picked for the dance.The host put his hand into the box and swirled it around for a bit. My breath got caught in my throat as I watched eagerly and prayed that our names would be called. It felt like a one-in-a-million chance, but still, I hoped for the best."The first couple to be dancing will be–"He pulled out the paper and squinted his eyes."–Mr. and Mrs. Vermont."An elegant couple moved through the crowd and got up on the stage. Despite their masks, I could tell they were lovely and rich.Mrs Vermo

Enora:The lively tango music filled the air and Mrs. Vermont was quick on her feet. Her jewelled heels peeked from underneath her dress as she stepped quick and her husband dipped her low, following her movements.She was one with the beat, following the music as her husband dipped her low and pulled her close in a sensual dance that made it look like they were making teasing love in public.The crowd wooed and clapped and I turned away in embarrassment and felt my face burn.“Looking away, are we, kitten?” Mr. Wright teased, grabbing my chin and making me look at him. “Does that dancing bother you that much?”“N-No,” I scoffed, nervously, still unable to look at the dancing couple. The way Mr. Vermont pulled her in close, his lips teasing her neck, his hand sliding up her thigh, it just felt… I mean… they should get a room.The lively sensual dancing continued with eccentric moves and spins that made my head spin.I took a deep breath and watched them and at an interval, Mrs. Vermon

Nathan:I felt her body tense up and I smirked. Even when she didn’t mean to, my kitten was competitive and it was one of the many things I loved about her.“The winner of this competition is…. going to be announced at the end of the party.”“What?!”All eyes turned to Mrs. Vermont and she cleared her throat and hid her unruly outburst with a smile. I looked down at my feisty little kitten and she was giving her a nasty stare. I couldn’t help but laugh. She was such a character when he wanted to be.“Thank you so much for participating. You may join the others.”We all went down to join the rest of the audience. Mrs. Vermont was trying to keep her act together but her eye was twitching in rage.I heard a light giggle and saw my kitten with her hand over her mouth, smiling and fighting to keep in her next fit of laughter.“Funny?”She looked up at me and her face became serious.“I’m… I’m sorry. I just…”I raised an eyebrow at her and she pouted and exhaled in defeat.“Fine,” she sighe

Enora:My face burned red and I felt my breath nearly escape my lungs. I pulled myself away from Mr Wright’s grasp and fumbled with my dress, trying my best not to catch the eye of the couple that stood in front of us: dumbfounded and their jaws loose.“Uhmmm… e-excuse us.”I grabbed Mr. Wright’s arm and we hurried out of the elevator. I wish I could atomize and disappear. This was so embarrassing.“Why are you smiling?” I asked with slight annoyance, looking up at Mr. Wright’s beaming face and his bright brown eyes.He stopped and in one swift movement, he grabbed me and pinned me to the wall. My heart was racing. My face was still red, but the thrill of getting caught again made this even more exhilarating.“We can’t do this here,” I whispered harshly. “You are going to get us caught.”“And what is the matter with that?” he asked slyly, taking me in with burning desire, pressing harder to me and inching closer and closer to my lips. “Do you not want to be seen with me?”“I…”The wor

Enora:We got to the main banquet hall just in time. There was a lovely murmur everywhere. Not too far away, a couple was talking happily and smiling with the host. There were some paper slips on the stage, and the couple were chatting excitedly amongst themselves.“...can’t believe that they won the competition…”“...heard they paid the host and his firm.”“You’re wrong. They have good ties with the host. That was why they won.”My heart was racing in my chest. Did they call out the results already? Did we win?My eyes searched the hall for sparkly, snobby Mrs. Vermont, and I finally found her standing happily next to her husband, chatting casually with another couple. From the looks of it, she wasn’t overly posh and was doing her usual flaunting of her diamonds.If I wasn’t mistaken, another game was played, and the couple that were chatting excitedly with the host had probably won. I exhaled and felt my tension ebb away for a moment. I guess there was still a chance that I could bu

Enora:All eyes turned to Mrs. Vermont and her mouth clamped shut immediately. I wanted to laugh but I swallowed it and it came out as a nasty croak that made Mrs. Vermont’s eyes darken.She glared hatefullt at me, grabbed her husbands armand pulled him off the stage. They disappeared into the crowd and everyone followed them as they walked to the exit.“Good riddance,” I muttered and smiled warmly at Mr. Wright, eho plnted another kisson my forehead.“Well, I guess we shall continue our party,” the host announced and the party’s lively vibe came back. A slow waltz was playing in the background and everyone made their way to their tables for dinner.“Would you please come with me,” our host said and the De Bances, Mr. Wright and I followed him.I clutxhed Mr. Wright’s arm excitedly. I was happy rtthat we won but even happier that I shut Mrs. Vermont’s mouth up. She was all prim and proper but completely lost it when she realized that she was in last place. It was a picturesque moment.

Enora:The woman was relentless. Did she not know when to give up?“What are you doing here?”She took a step closer, her arm wrapped around her husband's.“Is that really any way to talk to a friend.”I scoffed and rolled my eyes. Friend? Pft! I’d rather be friends with a starving grizzly bear.Her smile didn’t waver and her eyes darted to Mr. Wright’s arm where he clutched the contract.“It seems that you two owe us a ‘thank you’,” she said softly, “We told you about the contract and now you have it. Congratulations.”My eyes widened slightly. What game were these two playing? Just as I was about to say something else, a guard walked in with our driver beside him. Finally! It was unsettling seeing the way Mrs. Vermont’s eyes would occasionally drift to the contract.Mr. Wright gave it to the driver and sent him on his way. All our eyes followed him until he was out of sight, through the door.“My darling,” Mr. Wright purred, pulling me close, his eyes not leaving the Vermonts. “Let’

Enora:We got back to my place, light laughter still filling the air as well as the delicious smell of the Italian food and lobster.My stomach was groaning so much and I couldn’t blame it. I was starving.Mr. Balor had called us and shared a laugh with us in the phone about what happened to the Vermonts. I was happy that he could find something to smile at.As we got into the living room, I flicked the light switch and the darkness ran away. The house was exactly as I ahd left it. I guess Fiona didn’t come by then.“Alright, let’s get these into a plate and feed that monster in your gut.”I giggled and we made our way to the kitchen. I left him at the dinner table while I went into the kitchen to get the plates.It was so great to be back home. The party was amazing but nothing could ever beat being in the comfort of your own home.As I opened the cupboard, I groaned in slight frustration.“Why did Fiona have to keep the bowls up so high?”I stood on my tiptoes and reached as high as

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! Decaprio

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

Chapter 211Enora:The preparations for the housewarming party began and Bridget was feeling a whole lot better. Her once pale face had brightened up, and she had a splash of colour on her cheeks due to the excitement. Planning parties and events always helped cheer up and I was happy that I gave this to her to do.“This is beautiful,” she commented, looking at the list in her hand and the room around her. “You had managed to prepare to make the workload easier for tomorrow morning.”“I'll hit you up in the morning tomorrow and we can finalize the preparations. I know you said you wanted to cook but I think I'd be more comfortable in bringing in external catering.”I didn't say anything; I wanted her to prepare the party how she saw fit. As much as it was my housewarming party, I knew that because of what had happened with Eliot, she needed this one or anything.“I'll be fine with whatever you decide,” I said with a smile. “Just forward me whatever changes in the plans you have made

Enora:Just as the words left Bridget's mouth, she burst into a fresh round of tears. I looked at her in disbelief, trying my best not to seem unsympathetic. Eliot was an asshole and I wouldn't put it away from him that he could pull something like this.“It's okay, Bridget. There's no need to cry. He wasn't worth your time anyway.”I hoped my words would provide some comfort for her but how wrong I was.Her tears only intensified, and before I knew it, she was taking a new round of tissues, and the pile on my centre table continued to grow.“I'm so embarrassed, Enora. I should have listened to you. I should not have trusted that bastard in the first place,” Bridget lamented, her voice hoarse from all the crying. I patted her softly on the shoulder.“There is no need to beat yourself up about it. Everyone makes mistakes…”“But I shouldn't have made this kind of mistake,” she snapped back, whipping her head around to look at me. Her eyes were terribly puffy and swollen and her mascar
