Ella

"I am truly sorry Chuck. I did not mean to call you crazy."

This date was going horribly wrong in all ways.

"What happened to us, Ella? We used to be inseparable. Why now is all this happening?"

I truly wanted to focus on our conversation, but I could not stop looking at Chuck's face cap.

It looked really silly on him and I fought with him all my life to not burst into laughter.

"I don't know Chuck. I feel bad about the way our relationship is headed. We used to be best friends, you know," I said.

"Can it still work out?"

"I don't know," I replied honestly.

I was really uncomfortable on this supposed date night and I wanted out.

"Ermm Chuck, "

"Yeah."

"I have to tell you this, but I am not really interested in our relationship anymore."

"I love you, Ella. I always did."

"But it's not working out. Our relationship is not working out, Chuck."

"Ella, we can make things work."

"Oh really, well I don't think so."

"How can you speak that way? You always act really difficult. It's painful because I thought it was cute at first."

"Chuck! After weeks of trying to get to me, you called me for a date that night, and you did not bother to come prepared."

"What do you mean?"

"Look the way you're dressed, Chuck. Like, this is the best you could do for me?" I asked, almost in tears.

"I'm sorry Ella, I did not know this mattered to you."

"But of course it did, and it's not just about your dressing, Chuck we were best friends. We shouldn't have gotten ourselves into this mess called a relationship."

"Ella!"

"Yes, chuck. I'm done."

I stood up and was about to walk away. Chuck stood up with me.

He tried to stop me from leaving.

"Ella, we're not done here. You can't leave now."

"Stop it, Chuck! Stop you're hurting me."

Chuck was already holding my arms and pulling me to himself.

"Stop it, Chuck!" I pleaded.

He pulled me to himself, trying to kiss me.

"You're mine, Ella and there's nothing you can do about it."

I gave him a dirty slap.

"How dare you?"

"You dare to slap me?" Chuck was really furious and, for the first time in our chaotic relationship, I was truly scared. I have never seen him like this before.

His eyes were shot red in raging fury.

I looked around. We had already called the attention of some others in the bar.

"What's going on here guys?" Asked a random guy. He had walked up to us after watching the drama from afar.

"Nothing man, she's my girl, and we were having a little fight, that's all, but we're fine now."

Chuck said, holding me to himself and smiling sheepishly.

"Is that not right, Ella?"

I was so stunned and could not speak. To my dismay, the random guy had walked away.

After some moments, I and Chuck were seated once again. He poured me some red wine, but I was not interested in having any.

He tried to bring up a conversation, but I was not in the mood.

"Ella, this used to be our favorite bar." He said to me.

"Yes, it was. That was when we used to be best friends, but not anymore. I do not like it here, Chuck."

Chuck gave me a smile. "We'll get past this Ella, together."

I was so irritated at this. "How could he act so chill like nothing is the matter? Like everything was fine?"

Just then my phone rang.

"I'm sorry Chuck, I have to get this call." I quickly dashed out of the bar thanking the lord for this golden opportunity.

"Don't take too long love," he said.

"Of course!" I muttered.

I went outside the bar and tried to get the call, but the line was cut.

I peered into my phone and could see the caller was Jill.

"God bless you, Jill," I muttered to myself.

I placed my phone back into my purse, I peered into the bar to make sure Chuck was not watching me.

Finally, I sneaked away from the premises.


I held my chest and was breathing heavily. I had escaped my weird and semi-abusive supposed boyfriend.

"Hey."

"Ahhhh!!!!" I screamed at the top of my voice. I was scared to my bones.

"I'm so sorry. Are you okay?"

"Yes, thanks," I said, placing my hands on my chest.

"Can I help you?"

"No thanks, I'm fine," I said, pulling away.

I looked clearly at the man speaking to me and I was shocked to my bones.

"Oh f**k. Mr Maxwell!!"

I hadn't realized up till this moment that I was speaking to Mr Maxwell, my boss.

"Miss Ella, are you alright?"

"Oh yes I am Sir, I just didn't expect to see you here."

"Yeah long story." He said. "I met you breathing heavily just now like you escaped a tornado."

"I did escape a tornado sir," I said sharply, still trying to catch my breath.

He held me still with his hands, he tried to steady me. I fell into his arms and rested there for a few moments.

In those moments, I could scent his cologne. It was so thick, musky and so masculine. I immediately softened inside me.

I looked up at him, and he looked down at me too.

"I never noticed Miss, that you have such beautiful brown eyes."

"You never noticed anything, Sir," I said softly. "At least not about me."

He lowered his gaze to mine and for a few moments, we held it there.

Then, slowly, he touched his lips with mine.

Mr Maxwell went a bit further with me. He slid his hands up and down my tight gown.

He could feel my whole figure with his hands, he pressed my body closer to his.

"Why are you dressed so provocatively, Miss?"

"I don't know, maybe I expected to get laid," I said, holding my breath.

"I'm breathless boss, I need to be rescued.

"Rescued from what, my dearest Miss?"

"From my disaster date Sir, I want to be laid this very moment," I whispered into his ears.

"Where can we do this?" He said softly to me.

"We can go to my apartment, it's close by."

"Let's get to my car." He said, yanking me up. By now we were kissing very heavily.

A lot of thoughts ran through my mind. A lot of things were happening so quickly.

"Was this actually happening?" I thought.

"Was this going to happen?"

I led Mr Maxwell to the elevator of my apartment......


We had mind-blowing sex and that was it. That was the beginning of a change in my life.

Maybe for the good, maybe for the better.

Mr Maxwell, CEO of one of the biggest skincare brands in the country, wants me to be his Mrs, just after a ONE-NIGHT STAND.............
