The Enemy

Never Again

Elise

Days has passed since Jacob and I talked, my mother is in charge of the wedding. The house is full of people, wedding planners, designers, chefs. I wonder why they are making a big deal with this marriage, is not like is real. I took one of the book to go to the garden. I was hoping to see Jacob, I know he read the newspaper there most of the afternoon. After, one hour waiting, he never came.

"Honey come here" my mother called me from the door, she was standing there with one of the wedding planner.

"Go, to Jacob room and bring me the box I left in his bed"

I didn't even asked what was in the box, I was hoping to find him there so this was perfect for me. I wanted to thanks him for what he was doing, but he was always working or god know where. I went to his room and forgot to knock, the first thing I saw is him with another woman lying on the bed. This time it was another woman more beautiful than the last one, another beautiful woman I thought. She was playing with his chest, while he was looking at the roof. He looked at me surprised.

"Get out" I looked at the woman in his bed, she got out of the bed scared that I was there, getting dressed as quickly as possible. He didn't even move and my face was getting red of anger.

"Are you out of your mind" I asked

"Why, is not like this is real"

"That is not the point, the house is full of people, I told you to be more careful with your woman. You can't even hold your pants, you are disgusting"

"Why are you so angry, I will respect our deal but we are not marry yet"

"You i***t" I took one of the pillow from

his bed I threw it in his face, I was angry with him, I knew everything was a lie, but I was hoping for a little respect. I took the box that was on the chair next to the nightstand and left the room. He didn't even took the time to stopped me, I wanted to stop this wedding once for all but how I would do that, it was not an option.

It has been two days since I saw him for the last time. He hasn't been home lately, I was glad I didn't have to see his face, but at the same time wondering where he was. It was night already, today was our engagement party. I was wearing a tight gray gown, showing one of my leg, make the dress very sexy on me. My mother gave me one of her expensive pearls necklace. My hair was at the side, looking more like a woman than a teenager like most of the time I used to dress. I took my time in getting to the dance hall. It was only 10 minutes from the house, the driver took me there. As soon as I arrived I was the center of attention. I was used to this kind of people, I took one step showing half of my leg, I made sure that was my first move. I wanted everybody to looking at me but more him. Suddenly I felt a hand touching my waist, it was Jacob, in a black suit, with a gray matching tie.

Jacob

It was freezing outside, but my father had me waiting for Elise, what a waste of time. I was having fun with my friends, almost forgot it was my engagement party. I started hearing everyone talking, when I look to see who they were talking about, it was her looking more beautiful than ever. Everything in her was perfect her body, her eyes, her hair, I almost felt lucky knowing she was my future wife. I went to her, and make a statement she was mine. I have a reputation to keep after all. I went inside holding her hand.

"You look beautiful" I said looking at her red lips, I wanted to kiss those lips.

"Thank you, you look well too"' She smile and I remembered how innocent she was.

My father nodded for us to come and made the announcement.

"My friends, today we are here to celebrate my son and stepdaughter engagement. This is a happy moment for my family. Son I'm so proud of you! I wish you nothing but the best.

He said looking at me, almost felt good hearing those fake words.

We spent most of the night presenting our friends. I was exhausted already and seeing her looking so beautiful was making me crazy. I did what I do best, find another woman to enjoy my time. It wasn't that hard to find one, after few minutes talking with the short black hair girl who was looking at me since I came to the party, I said to her really close.

"Come outside, I will be waiting for you" She didn't even blink, of course she was surprised but agree. I went outside alone and she went after me. While waiting for the valet guys to bring me my car, I hear a voice behind me.

"Well honey, I didn't know we were leaving already" Elise said from behind, what a timing she have. The unknown girl next to me disappeared without me even noticing.

"Hmm, well yes are you coming" I had to improvise

She went to the car and I followed her. The drive was quite. She knew what was happening, but didn't say anything. I drove her home, planning to go back and find the other woman. Before leaving, she look at me angry with a disappointing face.

"Go have fun now with your friends"

What was that, I looked at her getting close to her, almost touching her lips.

"Are you jealous" I asked, her respiration was getting heavier.

"I'm not, I would like a little respect, my friends were there too you know"

Her words made sense, I didn't think about that, but I wasn't ready to apologize. She took her hand to put a distance between us and got out of the car. I was looking at her leaving so beautiful I wanted to go after her. I couldn't do it I just can't be with that woman. I drove away and came back after a few hours of driving thinking about her, something about her made me crazy.

Elise

Another day in this fake life I thought looking at the sun shining more than ever. It was a beautiful day, but for some reason I was sad. I went inside the house to have breakfast with my mother and to my surprise he was there too, reading the newspaper paper just like his father. I sat next to him, seeing my mother pointing where to sit. I was feeling uncomfortable, when he put the newspaper down.

"Good morning Elise"

"Good morning" I responded, not even looking at him.

"Elise, I will be busy today, I was thinking that it was best for you and Jacob to go to the winery and try some of the wines for the weeding" That took me by surprised but Jacob answered was more than a shock for me.

"Sure, we would go together"

Everyone seems to agree leaving my opinion for last. So why to even bother say no. I got my purse while he waited for me outside after having breakfast.

This time he was in a Jeep a black Mercedes. He was looking stunning in jeans and white sweater. He was a tall man, everything on him looks good. The winery was a gift from my father in my 12 birthday, one year before his dead. It's been in our family for generations, normally the male of the family is the next in charge, but my mother never wanted more kids.

"Wait, let me asked Evelio something" I told Jacob and went where Evelio was with some papers checking one of the winery storages. I told him to bring the wine to my favorite place. I took Jacob hand and went there. The view was beautiful like I remembered. It was a small garden my father made for me on the top of the winery, inside was a table and all my favorite flowers. It was beautiful because you could see all the winery land. I took a deep breath looking at the view.

"Is more beautiful than I remembered"

Jacob stood next to me without saying anything for a moment our eyes were looking at each other. When he was going to speak, someone came.

"Hello, Miss. Elise, here is your wine"

"Thank you Evelio, we will do it ourselves"

I nodded before he left leaving a variety of bottles in a basquet on the table. We both sit silently while he opened one of the bottle. After, three bottles we finally broke the ice.

"So which one you like more" he asked

"I don't know yet" I answered

He opened another bottle, and definitely this was the one.

"You know my father told me one day, you will know which one is the best as soon the favor is in your mouth" I told him savoring my mouth while giving him the cup for more.

"Yes this one indeed is one of the best, good choice" he replied getting more relax.

We had a good time talking about our childhood and how our father were. We both had a great childhood. He was smiling, it was my first time seeing that side of him. After we finished the bottle it was dark already.

"We better leave is late" he told me giving me one of his hand.Trying to get up was hard, I was feeling dizzy. He looked at me laughing.

"Let me help you" I nodded while he gave me his hand to walk. When we got home he walked me to the cottage.

"Wait" I told him when I saw him leaving.

Unfortunately, I couldn't finished my sentence without falling out. To my luck he was there again to save me. Putting us really close together.

"Thank you, for today I needed that" I told him looking at his big dark eyes. He stood there silently and came closer and closer until our lips were touching each others. He didn't move, just stood there, like waiting for my permission which I gave, kissing him back. I knew this was wrong but I wanted to kiss him tonight while I was drunk. He took me inside the cabin, kissing me desperately. I was there with my body stuck in the door and his mouth traveling my body, my neck, my belly, slowly this time, he was taking his time exploring me. He pulled my skirt up, kissing every inch of my legs. Then, he came back up, it was driving me crazy the waiting not knowing what he was going to do next, my skin getting tense, my body wanting more. He gave me a kissed inside my tights I moan of pleasure. He kissed my panties, I felt I was getting wet. This man was driving me crazy, my body was aching for more. I moan again of pleasure. Suddenly, he stopped and left without saying anything. My body still trembling. I didn't move from the door, I just needed some air first. I couldn't understand why he left.

Jacob

Today, I sat silently in the dining room. She was there avoiding my eyes. I could see her face getting red. We were alone, my father had a meeting early and Lazy was doing last minute wedding arrangement. I was reading my news paper, but observing her from time to time. Dammed why I didn't control myself yesterday. I took a zip of coffee and got her by her hand to one of my room. I wanted to talked to her about yesterday but didn't want the maid to hear anything. For the look in her face she was scared, but followed me without arguments. I took her inside and sit her on the bed, she stayed seated quietly.

"Look what happened yesterday was a mistake, we had to much wine" I was giving excuse, of course it wasn't the wine.

"Okay, I agree with you, is not going to happened again" She replied giving me her hand, like we were closing a deal. It took me by surprised, I will not deny it, it aggravated me a little. She was the one who kissed me, and now acting like it wasn't a big deal, her nerves.
