Emily felt a bit drunk so she relaxed her head, she was surprised that it took her only two glasses of wine to make her drunk. "it's seems my alcohol tolerance is still so low," Emily sighed.
The car was quite, it did not seem like there were three people inside. "Address, Mr Wilfred," Eric asked as soon as the car started moving.. "Florish garden," Wilfred replied. Eric nodded his head. He felt that it was too much of a coincidence that he lived five minutes away from paradise estate.
Eric turned to look at Emily, he felt that she was too attractive, he could not understand why he felt drawn to her. He was not a man that believes in fate but he started to feel that he was Fated to be with Emily.
Since Emily had her eyes closed, Eric brought out his small iPad and check on his mails. Seeing that nothing out of line was going on, Wilfred felt relieved. He also made up his mind ro confess his feeling as soon as possible before she was snatched away.
The drive continued quietly apart from the hone from passing cars there was no other noise.
"We are here," The driver stopped the car at the front of Florish garden. "Thank you very much Mr Brown," Wilfred turned to Eric. Eric just nodded his head without saying a word.
"Call me when you get home, Emily," Wilfred said. But he was looking at Eric as though he was saying I would keep an eye on you.
"Okay," Emily opened her eyes. She had taken a small nap but as soon as the car came to a stop, she had opened her eyes.
Wilfred came down feeling satisfied.
They continued the drive to paradise estate, "thank you for today," Emily said when the car stopped at the front of her house.
"You are welcome," Eric smiled, Emily heart missed a beat when she saw that smile, she felt her throat dried and the urge to kiss him.
"No," She tried to push the thought out of her mind.
At that time Eric noticed her gaze, he knew that she was a bit drunk and doing anything with her would be taken advantage of the situation but he also wanted to kiss her.
"Blame it on the alcohol," Eric said and moved closer to her. "Miss White," He called in a low voice.
Seeing his face get closer to her, Emily lost all rationality, she covered the remaining space and their lips meet.
Eric did nor care if she was acting on alcohol, he pulled her closer and deepen the kiss. He had imagined what it would be like to kiss her but this moment felt like a dream.
The driver seated at the front seat was dumbfounded after all he was waiting for her to get down from the car so he could turn around. He was no longer sure, if he should get down from the car, or watch the two of them.
In the end he decides to drop the partition, fortunately there was one in the car. Meanwhile the two people were lost in each other at that time. Emily was not ignorant of what she was doing but she had made up her mind to blame it on the fact that she was drunk.
When the two finally let go of each other, they where out of breath, Eric took the chance to hug her. He wanted to ask her why she always seemed to avoid him but he felt the moment was too beautiful, he did not dare to ruin it.
"I will see you tomorrow," Eric whisper and peg her forehead. He did not dare to kiss her lips as he was scared of losing control.
Emily nodded and left the car, Eric watched her walk inside the house and felt a bit empty.
He was surprised that she had not risisted him even a little. "Could it be that she likes me!" Eric wonders.
The driver seeing that Emily had gone into her house reviced the car to Eric's house. "Sir we are here," The driver said seeing that Eric was not coming down even after he opened the door.
Eric returned to his senses and came down. He took his phone and made a call. "How do you know if a woman likes you," He asked the minute Brandy picked up the call.. Eric was never a man that cared about the feelings of a woman. Moreover, the woman he had been with all this years were always the one who throw themselves at him. This was the first time he was taking the initiative.
"I think the nexworke is bad," Brandy said. He felt that there was something wrong with his ears. Not to long ago he asked about movies and now he wanted to know, how to know a woman likes him.
"I can hear you fine, quit playing around and answer my question," Eric said. He did not realize that his question was a bit strange.
"If you ask her you would know right," Brandy joked around. He did not believe that there was a woman who would not like Eric.
"You are right," Eric nodded his head. Anyway what he needed to do was ask.
"So how is the lucky woman?" Brandy asked. He really wanted to know which woman was making his old buddy consider her feelings.
"It quite late you should go to bed," Eric said and ended the call.
Brandy felt like beating someone up, Eric did not think of the fact that it was late when he called him, after disturbing his sleep he suddenly realized.
"I would not pick you call next time," He swore. Unfortunately his threat could not be heard by Eric. The man got to his room and decided to take a quick bath. The scene from the car kept playing on his heads. He unconsciously touch his lips.
He did not even realize that he was behaving like a teenager. All he wanted was to kiss her again.
Meanwhile, Emily took a deep breath when she got into the house and realized that Jude was not waiting for her. She felt that with one look he would realize what happened in the car.
Ahh! What was I thinking, Emily bite her lips.
She knew she should not have kissed him, he was the son of the enemy but she could not bring herself to hate her decision.
She liked the feel of his lips on hers and if she had a chance she would not mind doing it again.
"This is bad," Emily touched her heart, she did not know why it's chose Eric. Soon she got to her room and decided to shower. That night she had such a good sleep.
"No nightmare," Emily was surprised when she woke up the next morning. Her head hurts a bit because of the alcohol but she was surprised that she did not dream of the night her family was destroyed.
*knock Knock
"come in," Emily sat up as she opened the drawer beside her bed to get a pill to help with her headache.
"Good morning," Jude walked in, he was not in the house when she returned the pervious night, so he came to see her first thing in the morning.
"Morning uncle Rob, you seem to be in a good spirit," Emily said.
"maybe it because I slept well," Jude looked away feeling a bit guilty from hiding something from her. "How was the party?" He changed the topic as soon as possible.
"Great," Emily said, she looked at her toe feeling guilty about the kiss. She remembered Jude warning her not to fall for Eric.
"Aright, wash up and come down for breakfast," Jude was hiding something and so he wanted to flee from the room as soon as possible.
Emily also felt a bit guilty so she did not try to stop him. "I was druck, it's nothing," Emily tried to convince herself.
Ring Ring
Emily phone started ringing, Emily looked on the lamp stand and picked up her phone. "Wilfred" looking at the caller ID, Emily felt guilty again. She had forgotten to call Wilfred when she arrived yesterday.
"Hello," She picked up the call knowing that he would have been worried sick for her.
"Good morning," Wilfred said. He was indeed worried about Emily. He had called her over five times last night but she did not take the call.
Wilfred then decided to wait till the following morning, he knew that Emily would sleep a bit deeply when she was drunk. He did not believe that Eric would do anything to Emily when she was drunk.
"Sorry, I forgot to call you when I arrived. I was a bit drunk and tried," Emily said.
"It's fine, as long as you are okay," Wilfred said. The line became quite. He wanted to invite her out.
"if there is nothing else, I will hang up," Emily said and before Emily ended the call before Wilfred could answer.
"Why am I behaving like a theif?" Emily sighed.
