EmilyTo say she was having so much fun talking and laughing with Johnson would be an understatement, she was downright thrilled. It wasn’t only him, going out also had that effect on her and she hadn’t realized what she had missed. Emily had so much fun talking and laughing with strange people, people who also smiled and laughed with her.It was a warm fuzzy feeling that left her feeling glad and happy. She and Johnson went into several shops to eat ice cream and snacks. Emily hadn’t realized how beautiful the outside world was. She had always been locked up in the mansion, doing nothing except sleeping and waking. It was a regular chore she was getting tired of.‘’This is so delicious.’’ Emily moaned.The banana flavored ice cream she was having was the best flavor she had ever had. The delicious taste danced around her tongue which left her eager to take more. The only ones she had taken were vanilla flavored and chocolate but this, this banana flavored goodness was all she ever im

AmandaAs soon as I was done in the library, I packed my books into my bag, zipping it close. I sat still for a moment, trying to massage the stress lines on my temple. I couldn't deny the fact that I was stressed and it was due to the fact that I hadn't heard from my parents for over three days now.If everything went as planned, they should have been in Romania by now. They were due to arrive the following day but I hadn't heard from them, not to talk about them returning the following day.I checked my phone or any missed calls, messages or even a beep for the umpteenth time in the last three days but there was nothing from them. This left me beyond worried because I had no idea on what was going on. This wasn't how my parents behaved and I knew that something was definitely going on.I decided to try their lines again, this time, hoping that at least one of them picked up the call. The line went straight to voicemail which was odd because in the times I tried it earlier, it rang a

EmilyAs soon as Charlie stepped in, the silence that filled the whole place was awkward to say the least. It just felt like as soon as he stepped in, he sucked out all of the air that was around the room. He stared at his father and Emily who were currently sitting at the dining table and wondered what they were talking about.He hadn’t seen them this close before but he wasn’t surprised because since they were in-laws, they were bound to have a relationship. Charlie looked between Emily, his wife and his father, wondering what they might be talking about. He badly wanted to know what they’ve been talking about but the last thing he would do was to ask them.Charlie didn't want them, especially Emily to think that what was going on between them affected him. He wanted her to think that he wasn’t bothered about it when in reality, he was crushed.Emily was the only woman who ever intrigued him. She wasn’t like all the other women he had dated and slept with. She knew the value of dati

Emily and CharlieThe next morning came without any fanfare. Its dawn and the whole of Charlie's family mansion was quiet except for the sound of morning animals and servants working to keep the house clean. Cleanliness was something the Charlie's family’s loved. Andrew Charlie's family could sometimes be regarded as a neat freak based on what he loved doing.One could hardly find a scrap of dirt or filth around him which was something that was very rare for a man. He had inculcated that habit in his sons and he was quite glad that they had taken after him. That was all he wanted but still, Andrew wasn’t a happy man. The recent divide between his sons was giving him a headache and a heartache and it was one he didn’t quite know how to deal with but nevertheless, he hoped that everything went back to normal. The workers cleaned the compound with all their might as they tried to make the compound spotless.When Emily woke up, she couldn't find Charlie by her side. This left her sad and

As Charlie rushed out, Emily tried calling him back but she wasn’t sure he even heard her. She had no doubt that it was due to what he had done to her that prompted him to leave the mansion in a hurry. Just before he left, she had seen the look of anguish on his face. It was a look she could never understand because it screamed pain and shame.Now, it was clear to her that Charlie regretted everything he had done to her but still, he didn’t quite know what to do and the best thing he could do was just to leave. He drove straight to the bar, a new found sanctuary he wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon. There were many things he had to drink about but top on the list was the dastardly act he had committed against Emily.He never knew he could do that but the realization that he had actually done that left him shattered. There was nothing anyone could say or do that could justify what he had done. It was evil to say the least and what’s worse, if Emily decided to pursue the case and involve
