Ella:
He pulled me towards him against the door and looking in my eyes asked cheekily, “What do you think I'm doing?”
He starts kissing my shoulder all the way up to my neck, tickling my senses. His hands start grazing around my back and slide all the way down to grab my ass. By now, his lips had reached for mine, kissing fervently as if he was running out of time.
I could smell the onion bagel which he normally has from the Bagels bakery around the corner. I tried to kiss him right back but I just couldn’t seem to. His tongue was trying to push past my lips to explore my mouth further but my jaw just jammed shut refusing to give him access.
His fingers had started toying with the buttons of my blouse. I felt his hard erection jutting at me between my thighs and my skirt was raised all the way up to my waist.
“It’s almost 9 am now, people will start coming to the office. I don’t want to be caught like this Joe” I whispered nervously to him.
He replied, “ Oh c’mon Ella, we haven’t done it even once since we started dating” and continued to kiss me. Breathing heavily he tried to reassure me saying “I know you’re a virgin, I shall be gentle baby, I promise”
Ever since we started dating, we would kiss occasionally outside the office in cafes and places where I knew my step-mum or sisters would never visit. Else they would turn my already miserable life into a living hell.
Joe would always try to make out with me and I would give in a couple of times but I always stopped him when his hands went inside my pants. I wanted Joe to be my charming prince, to marry and rescue me from my extended family, not just have casual sex and walk away from each other.
He carried me over to the back of the room and held me against the rack of files. He frisked his hands over my breasts pressing them like he was kneading the dough for making pasta. I almost started laughing thinking about it.The very next moment his fingers pushed my underwear aside and rubbed me hard repeatedly and I felt “NOTHING”
This was the first time a guy had ever touched me down there. I really loved Joe with all my heart. How could I possibly feel “NOTHING”?
I have never explored myself ever down there because I was always so scared. My friends would talk about how they would experience multiple orgasms in their sexual escapades. I had read in all of those romantic novels that such acts of love make the body feel things they have never experienced before.
Maybe this is how it was supposed to be or perhaps, I was incapable of feeling anything down there. For me, love was more than just sex. There’s chemistry and intuition, and I felt like he was rushing into something that I had treasured for so long.I wanted it to be special, and not lose it like this in some dusty office file room.
The sound of the zipper sliding down from Joe’s trousers brought me back to reality. “Oh my god, what am I going to do?”
Ella:“Stoppp Joe!!! I can’t do this!” I pushed him away with my arms.
Ella:“Nowhere, just went to the washroom for a bit,” lying because I did not want another lecture.
Ella:I pop a kiss to Joe and headover to Trader Joe’s for a grocery trip before going back home. The rest of the team was heading over to a nearby bar for a few drinks. I couldn't go because I did not have a life besides work.
Ella:“No, I am not!” I looked up facing all the three of them, all calm and confident but deep down I was shocked and scared. Why was she asking me this question all of a sudden!?
Ella:I learnt from Helen that the conference was a huge success. Everybody on our team got significant leads to give them the required headstart for December, the last month in this quarter as well as the new year.
Ella:Time seemed to be flying with just under a week left for Christmas. I had started tidying the house up since advent. The curtains and bedsheets were changed with fresh linen, carpets vacuumed till every speck of dirt had vanished. Today after dinner, I would sta
Ella:As the clock struck 12 on Christmas Eve, I made a wish asking God to send me my saviour and bless my parent’s souls. After attending the midnight mass, we come out of the church to be welcomed by tiny little flakes of snow colouring the whole landscape of
Ella:As soon as I get up, I flip my phone out and call Joe, “ Baby how are you doing?”
