Roxanne
I grab the waffle. I wanted that yesterday. I had the craving to eat it yesterday but I can't be ungrateful if he has got this for me. Besides, it looks tempting.
I take a first bite and a moan ripples through me. With the chunks still in my mouth I turn towards him to find his eyes already on me.
Whenever I find his eyes on me, I always get nervous.
"Um, where did you get this from? It's very good." I say.
"My chef made it. If you want he will be happy to make more for you, since I don't eat those things he rarely gets to make it." I nod my head as I take another bite.
"Why don't you come and live with me? In that way you can have these everyday." I look at him with a straight face.
Without giving him an answer I got back to eating.
"God, I am full." I say, to no one in particular.
"Who wouldn't be?" I send a glare to Isaac. With a dramatic flick of my hair, I get on my feet. I eye the mess made by me. Bending, I start collecting the cardboards.
"You don't have…." His voice slows down as he continues. "to do it. Carla will do it."
"Fuck." I straighten up with the cardboards in my hands. I swirl and flinch when I find Isaac just behind me.
"What?" I asked, annoyed. Suddenly his hand very slowly sneaks on my belly. I look up at him being alert.
I freeze when I find his eyes hooded.
"Leave me." I demand. The boxes fall from my hand when he pushes me to him. My body collides with his rugged ones.
Goosebumps erupt all over my body when he whispers. "Just let me hug you for a few seconds."
And at a lightning speed he pulls me immensely close to him as he hugs me. My feet leave the ground as he scoots me up. My head tilted up as his face is thrusted in the curve of my neck.
He takes a deep breath in, making me shudder. After a few minutes he puts me down and pecks my nose.
"You should be careful about the actions you do, love. I might not be able to control myself next time."
What does that mean?
With that he turns and gets back to his work.
I just shrug my shoulders. And look down at the mess made because of him. Groaning in annoyance I crouch down and start picking the cardboards.
The door thuds open and I look up as Carla strolls in. I have seen how she enters his office without knocking. He must have ordered her to do so.
She keeps a suitcase on his table. "Sir, it has arrived." With that she turns to leave. Her eyes fall on me and I give her a smile which she, like usual, doesn't return.
She ambles towards me and crouches down and starts taking cardboards from my hand.
"Oh please, I will do it." I say. It's my mess, I should clean it.
"It's my work, ma'am let me do it." She replies. Her manicured hands looked odd with those cardboards.
Before I could protest she was on her feet and out of the office with cardboards in her hand.
I get back to my reading.
I get startled when a loud sound breaks the silence of the office. I look up and my eyes widen when I see sis barging in. Behind her Carla.
"What the fuck?" Isaac snaps, angry at the disturbance.
Sis falls on her feet. Her whole figure was a mess. I have never seen her like this. The hair which used to be always in place was all over her. Her face, without any makeup, eyes swollen and red.
"Why? Why Isaac?" She cries. Carla leaves silently, while closing the door. "Please Isaac, ma-marry me. Please don't le-leave me."
My heart breaks seeing her pleading like this. For the last few days I never saw her in the house but now seeing her like this makes me feel guilty.
"What the fuck are you doing here, Emily?" My heart drops at the indifference Isaac is showing.
"Why do you think I am here?" She shouts. "You threw me away like I didn't have any value in your life. Was I….was I lacking in sex?..." My eyes widened in bewilderment. "Was I not doing what you asked me to do? I…." She takes a deep breath. "I did everything for you. I made myself look perfect beside you. I watched thousands of videos just to make myself not look like a nuisance when we first had sex. Just to give you utmost pleasure. I mastered everything. You know….." He gets on her feet as she stumbles towards him. She is drunk. She grabs his collar. "I don't like pain. But for you I learned to take pain, since you liked sex that way. I always….."
"STOP IT, EMILY." Isaac shouts interrupting her. I was frozen.
"I will stop, Isaac. Just marry me." She says with desperation as she hugs his figure. In an instant he parts himself from her.
"Fucking stop being a nuisance."
"I love you, damn it." She shouts. "I love you damn fucking much. No one can love you as much as I do, Isaac." She caresses his cheeks. "Roxanne, will never be able to love you, like I do. She desires to be free. She desires freedom. She wants to be successful. Her dreams don't include marriage, love or even you. She will never include you in her dreams."
Isaac's eyes look at my frozen figure. Sis turns and finally her eyes registers me. I can see the surprise in her eyes.
"Wh-what is she doing here, Isaac?" She jerks his shoulder and his eyes snap towards her.
His eyes were saying something.
"I brought her here." He replies. His eyes for a flip second lands on me. Sis stumbles back, her hands fall on her sides.
"Y-you never allowed me to step in your office. You…" she takes a deep breath in. "you hate to be disturbed when you are working. You never allowed me to meet you, when you have work. B-but you allowed her. Why…." A sob breaks through her lips.
Isaac signs heavily, annoyance written all over his face. He takes her in his arms bridal style and trudges towards the left corner.
He pushes some buttons and the wall slides to the side, presenting a room. He takes her in. I just stand frozen by the ordeal.
I never saw my sis this broken. She always carried herself with confidence, perfection and grace. But today, all that was missing.
I am the reason for her being in this state. Maybe if I never slept in her bed that night, she would have been getting herself ready for the engagement, I would have been paying all my attention to my studies.
I grab my bag and phone to leave. I open the door and get out, catching Carla's attention.
"You can't leave, ma'am."
"Why?" I asked. I want to get out of this place. My life really has changed because of Isaac Rodriguez. In the past, I just had to take stress from my studies and other courses which I am doing, but now I have stress from other things as well.
"Sir haven't ordered me to let you leave." I get angry.
"Tell your boss, I hate to take orders." With that I trudge towards the elevator. Getting inside, I click the last floor.
"You can't leave, ma'am." Carla says.
"I am leaving, darling." With that the elevator slid close, but before it could completely close, it opened and my eyes fell on Isaac, whose eyes were emitting anger.
"Where the hell are you going?" I fold my arms as I harden my face.
"To hell." I spat. I slap the close button. Before the elevator could close Isaac grabs my hand and pulls me out.
"Love, your hell is with me, then where are you going?"
At that time, I never knew that what he said was true. In the future he will really become a hell for me. And I would never be able to leave this hell. At least not alone.
