The Enemy

The Day is Coming

Elise

Only three days for the wedding, my mother has made all the arrangements necessary, without giving me a hard time with the preparation. She even went to get my wedding dress, I was not in the mood for anything lately. Jacob and me barely see each other. He has been doing exercises everyday, like torturing me passing by my cottage showing all his muscles. We avoid each others most of the time, I wonder how our life will be after the wedding.

My mother was waiting for me in the garden, it felt so nice to finally have a day with her.

"Hello, mother" I kissed her before sitting by her side.

My mother was indeed a beautiful woman, she is blonde like me, blue eyes like me and mostly so young.

"Elise, everything is okay between you and Jacob? "

"Yes, mother why you ask"

"He hasn't been home lately and you don't come inside or have dinner with us anymore, are you avoiding him?"

"Nothing like that" I swallow while getting a zip of water. I didn't want my mother to know what happened. My face was getting red just with the thought.

"Okay, I'm glad to hear that, the wedding is in three days and I want everything to be perfect"

I smiled back to her, agreeing with everything she had plan for me and our honeymoon. My mind wasn't there anymore. I was hoping to have a mother daughter day, without talking about my fake wedding. I was almost glad the day went by fast.

I got dressed to go to town, nothing fancy, a mini black dress and heels. One of my friend from town was waiting there. We have plan to go dancing. I borrowed one of my mother's car, normally I don't like to drive at night but the driver had the day off. The club I was going is one of the best in town and of course is my stepfather's club. I drove to the main entrance the workers immediately recognized me. My friend was coming a little late, so I have to make time until she arrive. I got one of the main VIP for me alone. I order a platinum passion to drink while waiting. I could see the whole club from the second floor, the VIP next to me was empty, to my surprised normally every VIP here is always full of people.

Jacob

I got to the club late, I was having dinner with some friends and decided to come. Eric called some of his girlfriends and we all came together in the limo. I order the VIP in the second floor to be for us, but my father have someone in one of them already. It doesn't matter as long as they don't bother me. The club was full, normally I don't like this kind of things but Eric insisted. I was glad we were alone upstairs. I order our best champagne, I was talking to one of the girls, when I noticed someone I knew in the other VIP, Elise. What's she doing here and with who she came. I couldn't pay attention to the woman next to me. I sat there silently looking at her. She was waiting for someone, I was getting angry already. Someone came from behind her a guy, getting really close to her, she smiled back like she knows who he was. After that two more people came. A guys and a girl, a double date, it looks like they're having a double date. For some reason my blood was burning now.

"Jacob come here what it's happening, where is your mind" Eric knew me so well, I wasn't having fun right now.

"There is something I need to do Eric" I told him before going over to Elise VIP.

She was laughing nonstop with the unknown guy. I was getting even angrier looking how happy she looked.

"Sweetheart, I've been looking for you" That took her by surprised. She gave me her angry look but I didn't care.

"Jacob" She replied without having time to say something else.

"Oh, you are the famous Jacob, nice to meet you, my name is Richard Wildfield, I'm her best friend husband"

I wasn't expecting that at all, so it seems he is her best friend husband. I clear my throat before presenting myself.

"Nice, to meet you I'm Jacob Johnson"

" I know, I'm happy for Elise, well I have to make a call now, I will let you two alone now" he said before leaving

"What are you doing here Jacob" Elise asked very angry

"I could ask the same question" I answered

"Well it doesn't matter, I'm leaving now"

"Okay, good take me home then, I didn't bring my car" This took her by surprised but I needed to make sure she was okay to drive alone at night. It could be dangerous the way to our house.

"Whatever, I won't wait so lets go now"

I followed her without saying anything else, I took the keys from her hand, I wasn't going to let her drive.

"Why are you avoiding me" She asked looking at me

"I'm not" I replied, even though I was lying, I was avoiding her because she is intoxicating. I can't think when I'm around her and here I am again looking after her.

"Okay, good then come with me let's have a coffee to help with the alcohol" She asked me to go inside her house while I drove her to her cottage. I swallowed before getting out of the car.

She took her heels off her shoes and went to the kitchen while I waited in the sofa for her. I was getting impatient, it seems like five minutes has passed already.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't find any cup"

She smiled at me while giving me the coffee.

Elise

I invited him in because I wanted to make sure we can control ourselves while been together. I was not going to avoid him for two years. I won't lie I was nervous. Every inch of my body wanted him, after that night nothing will be the same.

"The reason I wanted you to come inside, is because we are not a child anymore, I was avoiding you and the same goes for you" I opened myself to him, hoping for him to do the same.

"I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable, that is why I was trying to keep my distance. You are right, is not like we are attracted to one another"

His words were cold, it seems that I was the only one who was thinking about this. He didn't care what happened. This hurt my feelings, he doesn't find my attractive is obvious now.

"Right" I replied without looking at him"

He sat there, finishing his coffee, observing every movement I made. I was glad he left, he was making me nervous, so quiet, so him. I went to bed after he left, I was tired and we only have two days before the wedding. The knocks on the door woke me up.

"I'm coming" I shouted from my bed, who can be here this early. To my surprised it was my mother.

"Elise, we don't have time you forgot about today"

"What did I forgot"

"Your grandparents were coming and Jacob grandparents too, get ready everyone is waiting for breakfast"

God, another fake day I thought, I was planning something else. I got ready really quick, since my mother was waiting there for me. When we got to the dinning room, my grandparents were there smiling at me. Another old couple on the other side of the table, I'm guessing Jacob grandparents. Jacob was there, as well as his father.

"Hello, nice to meet you, I'm sorry I'm late"

Quickly after that, I gave my grandparents a kiss.

"Dear you are even more beautiful, Jacob description was correct, you are indeed a beauty"

I blush after hearing Jacob's grandmother. Did he say I was a beauty, I wonder. I gave them a smile and continue eating. It was nice to have my grandparents here and Jacob's too. They didn't talked much about the wedding instead they talked about our childhood making me blush a few times, as well as Jacob.

After breakfast, I took them to the winery. Jacob was acting so nice, like he was a different person, I'm guessing because his grandparents were there.

"Jacob honey, go with Elise and bring me some of the wine from the collections of Esteban"

My grandfather asked him, and he nodded taking me by the hand. The cellar is underground, it was made by my great grandfather. We went to the cellar, and started looking for the collection. It was knew to me so I had no idea.

"Come here Jacob help me with this" I found one, but it was on the top, and I was too short to be able to get it. He came from behind while I was trying to get it.

"Here" He say

I tried to turn leaving only a small space between us. He was looking at me with depredatory eyes. I didn't know what to do, should I move. He moved one of the hair from my face. Then, he touched my lips with his fingers.

"Jacob, Elise come here quickly" my grandfather called, interrupting the moment. I got out really quick. Leaving him there, I was running from him.
