DESTINED TO LOVE
EPISODE 18
Emma’s POV.
I groaned when I heard someone banging on the door. I don’t want to get up. I want to sleep.There came another bang.
“WHAT..!” I yelled
“Emma. Get up… Your boss is here…” I heard Kate voice.
What my boss? Edan? Why would he be here? I’m probably dreaming.
“Emma…! Get up. He’s waiting in the living room!” She yelled back.
I don’t care if he’s waiting in the living room. I’m not getting up, I want to sleep. He can go back. For God sake it’s Sunday. That means my rest time.
“Emma..!” She yelled again still banging my door. I had enough. How dare he disturbed my sleep…
“I’m not coming… Tell him to leave.” I yelled back and went back to my peaceful sleep.
I haven’t slept for half an hour when someone knocked at the door. Now I had enough… Can’t she understood a simple thing…a d–n thing that I want to sleep. I was fuming with anger. There came another knock and I had enough, I get off my bed and went to the door. I pulled open my door.
“Can’t you just understand one d–n thing… Tell that jerk to just buzz of-” I was cut off by the person standing in front of me. I looked at him wide eyes.
“Well…Good Morning. I’m surprised Miss James you look amazing.” Edan said with a chuckle.
My face got red, my cheeks warm up… I was in my shorts and a loose shirt. My hair tied in a low pony which was a mess right now. I tried to shut the door but he stopped it.
“What the hell!” I yelled and he chuckled which made me more furious.
He pushed the door opened and entered my room.
“What are you planning to do? Go away.” I yelled at him pushing him to get out of my room.
“You look cute when you’re pissed.” He stroked my cheek gently.
“Now get ready… We’re going.”
“But where?” I asked him.
Seriously to where he’s going to take me now?
“Just get ready,” he ordered and left my room.
Such a Mr. Do as I say… Well, I don’t give a d–n. Should I? No… I will not. Not until he tells me where he’s taking me. I am stubborn after all.
I went to my bed and laid there refusing to get up.
After about 20 minutes the door knocked again and I pretended to be asleep. Yeah… I was a little embarrassed by my appearance but I don’t really give a d–n about it. It was his fault after all… I just don’t care what people think about it. I’m just Miss Carefree…
The door pushed open and the next thing was I’m flying in the air. I shrieked to see Edan carrying me on his shoulder.
“Put me down…” I yelled while hitting him on the back.
“Put me down, you idiot,” I yelled again this time hitting him harder but he wasn’t affected at all.
What he’s made of???
“Oh my God..!” Kate said surprised looking at me on Edan’s shoulder.
“Help me, Kate.” I pleaded to her. She rushed towards me to help me but Edan stopped her.
“I am taking my sweet lazy PA. So don’t worry, she is in good hands.” He said to Kate with a stern look. “And she’s going to be late tonight.” With that, he left my apartment and carried me to his car.
He put me gently on the seat and fasten the seatbelt, there was no use of my protest. I really hate him.
He went to his side and started the car. I was so pissed off right now that I didn’t even say a single word. I don’t know where he’s taking me. The car stopped in front of his penthouse.
“Why are we here?” I couldn’t keep it this time. I have to ask him why he had brought me here.
“Look who’s out of her shell?” He grinned.
I glared at him.
“It wasn’t in my plan but as you were being stubborn so I had to use my plan B.” he left the car and I did the same.
“Plan B? What plan B?” I said following him.
We went in the private elevator that leads us to his penthouse. As the door opened an older woman of 45 was standing there. Her hair colored red, she had brown skin and green eyes.
“Hello. Rose…This is Miss Emma.” Edan introduced me to her. She looked at me and smiled.
“Well, hello dear,” she said in a motherly tone.
I replied her with a hello still confused what is the hell going on here? Will someone enlight me?
“Well… Rose I wasn’t planning to do this but she’s all yours for now.” With that, Edan went to his small office after giving a peck on my cheek. “Don’t be too long,” he said.
“What is going on?” I asked Rose. She took my hand and led me towards Edan’s room. I went straight to the washroom because that jerk handsome idiot didn’t give me the time back in my place. I did my business and brush my teeth with the spare toothbrush placed there. I washed my face and still yawning, stepped out. Rose held my arm and made me sit on a chair in front of a dressing table and started brushing my hair.
“What’s going on? And what are you doing to my hair?” I said as she started to curl my hair.
“Mr. Wilton called me and told me to come here as fast as possible. He told me that he wants me to do a little styling and makeup for someone…I’m an expert in these kinds of things.” She said proudly.
Why did Edan ask her for this? And why is he doing this?
“Excuse me, Rose. For how long you have been working for him…and how many girls y-you had been styled?” I asked the question feeling a little jealous. Did he do this for every girl he brought here?
“I have been working for his family for past 20 years…and relax my dear…you are the only girl whom he cares about…he must really be in love with you.” she smiled while giving light curls to my hair.
Love? Does he love me? No. That’s not true. It just…can’t be true. Who would fall in love with me? Me? I’m not that worthy and I’m not that lucky to have someone like him… He deserves better. Although I have started to like him but I won’t tell him that… I still hope that he will find someone better… like that girl, but who was she?
“Here done.” She said while finishing my hair. I really loved my hair. They pretty look like natural curls.
“Now time for makeup.” She said picking some foundation bottle from her bag.
“No… Please, I don’t do makeup. Just put on some liner and a mascara.” I said stopping her.
“Only that?” She asked confused.
“Yes…” I replied politely. She nodded and took out an eyeliner and mascara.
“You are so different from other girls, no doubt Edan loves you.” She said applying eyeliner and mascara.
“I like simplicity… I think it has its own beauty in it.” I replied smiling.
“Indeed… My dear.” She replied applying red lipstick on my lips.
It’s the first time I had worn lipstick… I mostly like lip gloss.
“They are done… You look beautiful… absolutely gorgeous. Now here is your dress.” She handed me a red dress, it was beautiful with a red belt at the waist.
I changed into it and looked at the mirror. The dress hugging my body but it was so comfortable. With it was red heels and a small shoulder bag. I looked at the mirror and I looked like some hot model yet so decent… The person staring back at me was not me. It was someone better than me. These curls and the little makeup really changed my appearance.
“You look smoking hot and cute.” Rose hugged me.
“Hey…is my girl ready? I’m dying on waiting here.” Edan said knocking the door.
My girl? I rolled my eyes at that. An idea came into my mind and I grinned at it. I told it to Rose and she agreed in helping me.
“Hey, Rose? Is Emma ready?” He knocked again and this time a little harder.
======
Edan’s POV
I don’t know what was taking her this long, she should be ready by now. I couldn’t wait more as my patience was getting the best of me. Its enough already!
I knocked again and this time harder.
“Hey, Rose… Open the door.” I banged on the door.
The door opened and finally, I would be able to see Emma. I went in and looked around the room but there was no sign of her. Where is she?
“Where is she?” I asked Rose glaring at her. I was so worried right now. Where could she be possibly gone?
“Aah… Sir. She…”
“She… What?” I yelled at her.
D–n! Edan calm down.
“She is so darn stubborn Sir. She won’t listen to me. I tried to do her makeup but she refuses and–” She stopped while talking.
“And… WHAT? Tell me.”
Did Emma run away? Did she go back to her house? But how could that be possible I was sitting in the living room and I didn’t saw her leaving the penthouse. So where could she be gone?
“Sir… She refused to dress up and went to your bed… She said that she just wants to sleep, nothing more than that. And she also said that you are a jerk for bringing her here.” She said smiling at her words and a small smile threatened to escape on my lips but I resisted it.
“You can go now,” I ordered her and she nodded. After that, she left the room. My anger seems to fade away as a smile played on my lips.
So sweet Emma! Where are you?
I looked towards my bed and there was someone behind the blankets which I’m sure is Emma. I went towards the bed.
“Emma wake up…” I said in a playful tone while going closer to the bed.
“I know you’re stubborn but I also get what I want so I’m not gonna give up… And if your not gonna get up then I’m gonna punish you…” I smirked thinking about the ways of punishing her. But she didn’t move a bit, so I get closer and pulled away from the blanket from the bed. My smile faded. This was not Emma, where was she? I saw the pillows arranged on my bed.
S–t!
I heard the door being locked and turned my attention to the sound. It was my bedroom’s door. Someone was laughing on the other side, I went to it and tried to open it but it was locked.
“What the hell…?” I cursed at the stupid door. Someone had locked me inside my own room.
D–n it… And where’s Emma? S–t…!
“Open the f—–g door…!” I yelled banging on the door. That person is so going to regret this. I clenched my fists.
“First be nice… Mr. Wilton. You should really control yourself.” I heard a chuckle from the other side and my anger faded away as it had evaporated out of me by hearing that voice. My furious expression was replaced by a surprised one and a wide grin spread on my lips.
“And what if I don’t wanna be nice?” I smirked.
“Well, then you aren’t getting out…” I heard her chuckle and I could tell it wasn’t a fake one.
“My dear sweet sweet Emma. Let me out. Or else…. you’re gonna be in a deep trouble.” I hold in my laugh and trying my best to act seriously.
“Well, Mr. Wilton… I’m ready for that… But how are you gonna do that? You are locked in my little game and now you’re not getting out.” She said playfully and started laughing. I had never heard her laugh before, she must be enjoying this but I’m not going to get defeated.
“Well… I guess you’re right I’m locked up indeed. You won…” I said trying my best to find another key around the room. I am sure I have seen one key around here somewhere. I looked through my wardrobe and drawers.
“I win? Seriously? I thought you were… well whatever.” She said with disbelief.
“Well… Now open up.” I said calmly still looking around for the key.
“Nope.” She said popping the ‘p’ sound.
Aah… Bingo..! Found it…
I took the key from my drawer and now I need a solid plan for getting out of here.
“Edan? You still there?Are you okay?” Emma said with a tone filled with care. Does she care for me? But why?
“Edan?” She said knocking on the door.
And then I got a plan… I didn’t reply and stay quiet.
“Edan?Edan?” She kept on calling my name.
“Edan just say something…” She shouted from the other side.
“I know these games of yours… Your fine, I know it. Well now, I’m not going to open it till night…and I’m going home.” With that, I heard the clicking of her heels going down the stairs.
I opened the door and went outside locking it from outside. I went downstairs with light steps. So that she couldn’t hear them. I heard the shuffling of pans in my kitchen and glanced at it to see Emma looking for something in the fridge… She must be hungry for I’m sure she hadn’t taken her breakfast because I didn’t give her the chance for that.
She put a frying pan on the stove and started mixing all the ingredients she had taken out. As she did that she sang a song, she had a really nice voice. She looked so perfect, so stunning in that dress. Her hair getting on her face. She looked in peace, so relax like not a care in the world but I know deep down there is something disturbing her… After making pancakes she put them on two plates. I saw her coming to my direction and I hide in the room beside my room. It’s a small room where I do most of my exercise She went in front of my room.
“Edan? I have brought some breakfast. Are you in there? Of course, you are! Edan! If you want it then say something nice like Pretty Please…” she put the tray on the table outside my room.
Pretty Please? Why would I even say that? Such a naive girl, did she really thought that I will be trapped in her this game?
I smiled at her actions, she doesn’t know at all that I’m not in there.
“If your not gonna reply to me then I’m not going to talk to you ever.” With that, she stood there waiting for my reply. Her temper rises up and her eyes glaring at the door. Why can’t she just open it? She is so darn stubborn.
“F–k you…!” She yelled. I was surprised on hearing those words from her mouth. I never knew that she would say that… I should really stop now.
“I hate u…” She turned towards the stairs as she walked past the gym room I grabbed her arm and pulled her in. She let out a shriek surprised by this action. I held her in my arms and covered her eyes with my hand. Her back on my chest.
“Let me go!” She shouted at me.
“Do you really want that?” I said in a husky tone in her ear, kissing her on the cheek.
“Edan? B-But h-how? You-You were in…” She didn’t understand at all that, how I had escaped from her little game. I smiled inwardly.
“Surprised? I told you I always get what I want.” I said seductively in her ear. Her cheeks became all shades of red and I liked the effect I had on her.
“Well… Miss James. Let me tell you. Two can play this game.” I whispered in her ear. I really love the way that Emma is in my arms. I don’t want to let her go. One day she’s gonna be the death of mine.
I removed my hand from her eyes and she turned her face towards me… She looked breathtaking, sexy. No one had ever affected me this way, she just turns me on. Ignite the fire in me. And I love the way she made me feel, I had never felt like this before.
“How? How y-you… uuh… You are an idiot, I hate you.” Her eyes glaring at me, she pushed me to free herself but I made my grip stronger around him.
“It’s time for your punishment sweetheart.” Her eyes shot up looking at me wide eyes… I told her that I’m gonna punish her and now it’s time for that.
“You won’t dare…”
“Wanna bet?”
“You-”
I cut her sentence and drew her closer not leaving a space between us and my lips crashed on hers like a hungry wolf…
I love this kiss, I’m sure I will never get bored with her… Every day is an adventure with Emma. I had never met someone like her, she’s unique, she’s different, she doesn’t give a d–n about what other people think about her… She’s special and moreover, she’s MINE…
========
Emma’s POV.
Thousands of butterflies started dancing in my stomach as soon as his lips met mine. I want to kiss him with the same emotions, with the same passion but I have to take control of myself… I’m not ready for another relationship and I never will be. Although the fact I like him, still I have to end this before it goes way out of hand. I need to stop this but why Edan is making it difficult for me? Why?
I pulled my face away and escaped from his hug.
“Are you done?” I said putting my hands on my hips. I was still confused how he had managed to escape from that room. I am pretty sure I had locked it.
“No, I’m not…” A smirk plastered on his lips.
“Shut the hell up.”I rolled my eyes leaving the room, I’m still not in the mood to talk to him. Although my mood had lightened up a bit…
Because of that kiss.
But I’m still going to give him the silent treatment.
Why he hadn’t replied to me, I was so worried sick I thought something might have happened to him… I hate him.
No, you don’t…You like him…
Uuh… Shut up.
I went to the kitchen and started eating the pancakes I had made. Because of that jerk yet so handsome and sexy and– wait! what am I saying?
Geez! Let’s start again.
Because of that jerk Edan I hadn’t taken my breakfast.
Now that’s right…
I saw Edan with his plate, he sat right in front of me. A mischievous smile on his face, I stick my eyes to everything except him.
“So aren’t you going to talk?”
I didn’t reply to him, I was definitely going for a silent treatment.
“Well. I should be the one doing that.” he took his last bite and I did the same, I put the plates in the dishwasher.
Now, what to do? I even don’t know why I had been dressed this way?
“Come on,” with that he took my hand and went to his car.
Where were we going now? I wanted to ask but I remained silent.
I ain’t talking to him!
He started the engine and after 30 minutes we were standing in the front of a huge mall and I had only one question inside my head. Why had he brought me here?
This time I couldn’t stop myself from asking.
“Why are we here?”
“Looks like someone is out of its shell.” he mocked and smiled looking at me. I rolled my eyes. He had worn a cap and sunglasses which I don’t know why?
What is he planning to do?
