Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Best Friend’s Father Wants me: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

Nathan:“Mr. Wright, dinner is ready.”The cool evening breeze blew against my skin. That cool shower was exactly what I needed.My towel was around my neck and I dried my hair. As I did, I stood in front of the mirror and looked at myself. I had really let myself go. I needed to hit the gym again. Those push-ups every morning weren’t enough.“Is Enora already at the table, Maria?"“No, Sir,” she answered from outside the door.“Well, go and get her from her room and get her to come down for dinner.”“Uhmm… that will be a problem, Sir? You see, she dashed out and said that she was going somewhere. She didn’t tell me exactly.It felt like the world had lurched to a halt. Enora had left? How? When? She didn’t even tell me.I took a deep breath. Where the hell did she go? God, that girl was becoming a handful. Fuck!My fingers ran through my wet hair as I tried to think where the hell she could be.She had better not be at Anthony’s place. Damn! The thought of it made my skin prickle and

Enora:“In last place we have…”My fingers were crossed. I had never felt this pressure before, except when I was writing my finals.“...Luke and Emily.”A sigh of relief escaped my lips and I could feel my heart beating normally. I don’t know why I was so anxious. It wasn’t like I was drunk and I was an adult with much more experience. If it was something I was uncomfortable with, I could have easily said ‘no’.Anthony and I were after Luke and Emily, placing us third and just a point higher than Emily and Luke. Bridget and Eliot were second and Gina and Nicky won the game.Soon the room was chanting and everyone circled a flustered Emily and an anxious Luke. What was the dare going to be?Gina gave Nicky a nasty smile and immediately, Nicky disappeared inside and emerged a few minutes later with a small box.“Here you go, Emily. Enjoy. And make sure you put in on.”Emily’s eyes widened and she shook her head slowly as she smiled. My heart was racing. What was in the box? Curiosity w

EnoraIt 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

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: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
