I felt tongue-tied watching my friend's sister bounce on my boyfriend's joystick, tears streaming down my eyes, as they mocked me.
What did I do to deserve this, a part of me wanted to march in there and pull her off him, but the other part of me just wanted to walk away.Following the other part of me, I turned around, not saying or word or interrupting them, I walked out of the house, my sight foggy from tears as I made my way to Jennifer's house.I banged hard against her door, eager for her to open up, "what!" She yelled opening her door to find me crying in front of it."Emily" her voice softened as soon as she set eyes on me."what is going on" she asked placing her hands on my shoulder, she walked me into her apartment."Did you know" I managed to ask as soon as we got into her private space."is that why you don't like him" I said to her, unable to raise my voice beyond a whisper."What is it Em" she wondered, as my cry slowly got louder, I felt betrayed, and hurt, my heart beating like it was going to fall off my chest."What is it?" she asked again."It hurts so much," I said, holding on to my chest, I had never felt this much pain before, I had never been betrayed like this."Talk to me" she pleaded, the worry in her voice becoming evident. She led me to her couch sitting me down gently on the single sitter, before kneeling beside me and clutching my hands to get a clearer view of my face."I just saw Jake, with Rose" I said, after a minute of crying uncontrollably.My revelation was followed by deafening silence, I could tell it took Jennifer a minute to process the whole thing."What!!" "what were they doing" she asked in utter disbelief, her step-sister Rose always spoke about how lucky Jake was to have me. Teasing him to treat me well. It was clear she was mocking me."They were having sex" I sobbed, Jennifer's hands squeezing mine in anger."That bitch!" She exclaimed, getting to her feet. the surge of anger oozing through her voice.she moved towards her golf bag, picking up her favorite stick, walking straight to the door."What do you think you are doing" I paused watching her gear up to smack the hell out of them."I am going to beat them up," she said with so much seriousness in her voice that I couldn't help but laugh.I imagined her whooping their naked asses off each other."Thank you," I said feeling better."They are not worth it" I realized, wiping my tears."you were right about Jake, he is a horn dog" I agreed.Jennifer nodded, putting her bat down,"he is and you need to get over him," she said moving closer to the couch.I saw her eyes lit, like she had just had a light bulb moment."You know what would get your mind off Jake and my silly sister Rose," Jennifer said, with eyes wide open."What??" I asked."Attend the masked app launch with me and hook up with a total stranger"******I put on the bold wine dress Jennifer let me borrow, I am a little thicker than she is making her dress fit perfectly on my body.I tied my brown hair into the perfect bun, putting on her lacy black mask. "This is a terrible Idea" I thought to myself, staring at the gorgeous woman in the mirror who looked nothing like me.This woman looked bolder, her dress more confident, I never thought I could pull off a slit all the way to my hips or a back cut so low, it stopped before my hips."Is this Emily" Jennifer teased, walking into the room all dressed up in a silver lengthy gown with a silver mask."How many of these do you have" I asked wondering how easily she was popping out masks."Trust me, you don't want to know" she winked."Daddy is sending a driver to pick us up" she said, and on the queue, her phone began to ring, "his here" she said taking my hands.We walked into the hall, it had a relaxing ambience with blue light, everyone in masks and it was filled with loud music and chatter."Let's get you a new man" Jennifer whispered then chuckled, she was enjoying this way too much.She led me to the bar, "I need to get her drunk" she said to a bartender who smiled and nodded."No, I just want Coke with ice" I protested, I loved to play it safe, I hardly ever drank."Listen, Robi," she said, looking at his name tag.The bartender's smile faded as he nodded again."Come on Em, don't be boring" Jennifer said, the word boring reminding me of Jake and what I had just seen."I am not boring" I berated angrily, turning to the bartender "Give me the strongest you got" I said, making up my mind to just have fun.If Jake could do it, so could I."That's my girl" Jennifer praised smiling at me, I rolled my eyes at her, sipping the drink the bartender served.I turned to find Jennifer gawking at someone, tracing her eyes to find a handsome man in a blue suit, in his hand was a mask with a holding stick, his face showing half of the time."You have a crush?" I asked, as her face curved into a blush."Do you know who that is?" she asks and I shake my head. I had no idea, I wasn't sure I was seeing the person clearly my sight felt woozy, my stomach was not for alcohol, and the little sip I took was already getting me tipsy."That is Jake's father" she said, I looked at her in disbelief staring back at the man she was gawking at, he looked nothing like anybody's father.He had the best figure and the finest smile, "yummy daddy" I said, the tipsy was talking and not me.I felt Jennifer grab my hand tightly, "I just had the best idea" she says, looking at me with bright eyes."You know the best way to get over Jake," she said, tipsy me looking at her and nodding."Get under his father"Note: Written in 3rd person for a wider perspective. Emily laughed hysterically, thinking Jennifer was joking "You are joking right" she said laughing harder, she assumed there was no way Jennifer could mean what she had just said. Jennifer shook her head with a straight face, she wasn't joking, "I am not Emily" she replied with a serious voice, staring at Jake's father. "You are!!" Emily exclaimed picking up the grape from her drink, pulling it out of the pick with her teeth."I would rather get with a random stranger" she said buying the idea of hooking up with a random stranger now that the option was that or Jake's father."But isn't he so dreamy" Jennifer gawked unable to take her eyes off him, she had always had a crush on him, but knew it was impossible since he was her father's best friend. "He is" Emily replied not sparing him a second glance. "well if you don't, Rose would" Jenifer chuckles."Rose" Emily jumped at the name, she wondered why she felt more hatred for Rose
Emily's point of view I woke up to find myself naked in a strange bed, with merely flashes of my night with Ethan. "Did I sleep with Jake's father?" I wondered, sitting up. "I need to get out of here" I thought looking around the room for my clothes, my heart beating and my body trembling, I was so drunk last night I didn't think it through.I picked up my undies putting them on and looked around for my dress. My dress was nowhere to be found and the only thing I could find was a robe. "O! Emily" I sighed, putting on the robe before navigating my way out of the room. "Good morning," Ethan said, sitting at the dining counter, I was so drunk I didn't even notice that we walked into a big apartment. "Good...morning" I stuttered feeling nervous, I watched him get to his feet moving towards me, and placing a gentle kiss on my cheek. "I made breakfast," he said, pointing to a plate he must have set up for me. "Where are my clothes, I really need to go" I held tightly to the robe as
"O!! Shit, what am I going to do" I said to Jennifer who just laughed at me. "I really don't know Em, why not just come clean" she gave the most ridiculous suggestion. "Are you insane, do you know how crazy it sounds?"o!! Mr. Marcel sorry about the other day I was just upset with your son" I imagined. "Listen, I need to get out of here, before...""Good morning" a too-familiar voice interrupted, Ethan walked into the office hallway with a grey suit and a wide grin. His suit, highlighting his perfectly toned muscle and beautiful brown hair, one thing was for sure, Ethan was hotter than Jake. "I am Ethan Marcel, the new boss," Ethan said warmly, his eyes surveying the room, as I tried to cover my face with my hands. Luckily for me, the place was packed, everyone on the floor converged to meet the new boss. "I need to get out of here" I whispered to Jennifer. A smirk appeared at the side of her face, and she intentionally ignored me. "please Jen" I pleaded, pulling her to the bac
3rd person narrativeEthan looked at Emily and felt a rush of familiarity. Her eyes looked exactly like the masked girl he had met a few days before."Have we met?" he asked, noticing that her eyes widened as she looked at him."You must have met her at work," Jake responded.Ethan nodded in agreement, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. "Iris is single, she just broke up with a cheating boyfriend," he thought to himself, dismissing the idea that Emily could be."Please sit," he said, motioning for Emily to take a seat. She was nervous, afraid that he might recognize her if she spoke."You work at Castle Tech?" Ethan asked, trying to make conversation as he sat down on the chair."Yes, sir," Emily replied, her voice trembling with nervously."What department are you in?" Ethan asked, trying to recall the faces he had seen at the meeting that day. He was sure he hadn't seen hers."S-sales," Emily stammered, just as his phone began to ring."Would you excuse me?" Et
Emily's point of view."Do you accept?" Mr Marcel asked, fixing his gaze and leaning forward. I shook my head nervously, if I had my way, I would love to be as far away from this family as possible, they were both dangerous men who liked to use people. "would you excuse me, sir, I would like to use the bathroom," I said nervously, he nodded and I got off my seat, walking straight to the bathroom. As soon as I got behind the close confinement of the bathroom, I began to dial Jennifer's number, "please pick up" I prayed as the call kept going to voicemail."Hey you have reached Jennifer, I am probably out there having the time of my life, please leave a message" her answering machine kept saying."Hey Jen, it's Em, I need to talk to you it's urgent," I said. I looked at the mirror and my eyes were visibly swollen, I never thought being with Jake could ever be this exhausting if only I listened to Jennifer. 'o! Emily, you are way in over your head with this one' I sighed to myself. I
Emily's point of view. "Now this is an office," I said walking into Jenifer's new office. Her father and Ethan made a deal to make her an executive once he bought the company."I know right, being a Coltman is finally starting to pay off," she smiled. Sitting comfortably on her big office chair. "What about you, have you moved to the boss's office yet?" She teased, she knew the trouble I was having forgetting about my night with Ethan. "Honestly, No." I replied, "Don't you think he is trying to mess with us". I had a feeling Ethan knew I was iris, and he was only asking for my help to mess with me. "Trust me, Ethan is not a man to play around if he thinks you are Iris, you would know," Jennifer was confident."Have you given Irene the cheque yet," I wondered, the only thing that could tie me to being Iris was that cheque."I don't think you should give it to her," I voice out my concern, I was worried Ethan's reason for searching Iris wasn't a good one. If he was anything like his
Please, please don't!" I begged. "You can have me" "I am yours, just leave my mum alone" tears streamed down my eyes as I pleaded. All the time I feared Jake could hurt me, I never once thought he would try to hurt my parents. "Now you are talking babe" he said moving back to his seat. "I love you" he smiled staring at me for an answer, I sobbed as I responded, "I love you too" before he hung up.As soon as he hung up I dialed my father's number. "Hey sweetheart" my father said picking up the call. "Is mum in the hospital again" I wondered, I had no idea my mother was back in the hospital, when we spoke the day before everything was fine. "yes dear, we didn't want to inform you" my father explained, his voice laced with concern. "but I thought the doctors said the cancer is gone?" I asked."yes, don't worry about it dear" my father said with a low tone, his voice laced with sadness. "Please tell me what is going on" I pleaded, I hated how my parents kept their problems from me,
His eyes traced my body, "Surely, you know, you have to pay for using me" inhaling the air, "You still smell like Vanilla" he smirked, he was so close to me, that I could feel the bulge in his pants. "I can't get you off my mind, Iris" he continued, his anger suddenly turning to lust, I could see it in his eyes, he focused on every inch of me like he wanted to take me in. My mind was lusting too, if I had Iris's mask on I would have pleaded with him to take me, punish me, I would have submitted to the part of me burning for his touch, but I had no courage. "You shouldn't have used me" he growled, stepping back and composing himself."I am not someone to mess with" he continues his voice getting calmer as he moves back to his table. "I expect your resignation letter on my desk before you leave, and I suggest you stay away from my son and New York," he said.My brows furrowed, "what" I exclaimed, I saw this playing differently in my head. "This is me treating your offence lightly,"
