I am Incubus mate

Chapter 2

ELLA

-' Hurry up Ella. We're gonna be late'- that was my friend Ugo. Ugo and I met at our university cafe almost 2 years ago. That was my second day and he helped me find my classroom. Since then, we have become best friends. Ugo is a tall and slim man, with a warm smile and voice. He is French but comes from a different part of France.

-' come on Ugo, give me a break we will be just fine'- I said to him and continued with my light make-up.

We were on our way for a few drinks with our Uni friends. Tomorrow I will be travelling back home for my long holidays. I studied in Saint Louis in France and once for a few months I travelled to Poland to see my family. I couldn't wait as this time my older sister decided to come too. I hadn't seen her for a few years, so I was excited. My older sister Kate stayed in Scotland but hardly came home. She lost her husband a few months ago in a car accident. I didn't want to go to the bar, but Ugo was very annoying.

-' I am coming'- I said, and we left my small flat. I had only a few months before I graduated and I had already started looking for a job. I didn't want to come back to my country after 2 years in France. I decided that I want to stay abroad just like my sister. My dream job was at Nichol Enterprises, but I don't think that I got any chances there. As of tonight, Ugo and a few of our friends decided to celebrate Mia's graduation. She has just finished her studies and after 2 weeks she will be back in her country, where she will take care of her father's engineering company.

We walked into a very busy bar. That was a very popular bar and Friday night wasn't probably the best choice to go there if we wanted a quiet place. Everyone had already waited for us. I didn't make any extra effort when I chose my clothes for tonight. I wore a black pencil skirt and a loose gold shirt. I put it together with gold heels and a black jacket. After a few drinks, my friends sent me to the bar to order another round, as it was my turn. On my way, I turned around to my friends and waved to them. At the same time, I felt the strong wall behind me before I turned around someone hissed and the wall moved, but my nose still ended up hitting that wall. I lifted my head and met almost black eyes full of anger.

-' I am very sorry that was my fault'- I almost whispered and hung my head. This man had not said anything, just still looked at me. He was very tall and handsome, far too bossy for my liking. I apologised again and left, moving close to the bar and ordering our drinks.

-' are you OK?'- Ugo asked me as soon as I came back to our table.

-' yeah all fine'- I replied, still looking around. I looked after this stranger. He had something in him that pushed me in his direction. We went back to our party and after some time we decided to call our evening off. Ugo dropped me off and I went upstairs. I changed into my PJ and sent the message back to Ugo to ask him if he was safely back home. After his positive response, I decided to watch some Netflix and go to sleep.

Poland welcomed me with very nice and warm weather. My older brother Adam waited for me and took me home. According to my parents, we used to stay in the city but they decided to move to the countryside. After a couple of hours, Adam parked outside our parent's house. Mum and dad have already waited for us.

-'Ella, honey'- mum said and came close to giving me a hug

-' hi mum'- I managed to say and at the same time, my mum's arms hugged me tightly.

-' I am so happy that you are here'- mum said with teary eyes. I greet my dad and my younger brothers Michael and Paul.

-'Is Kate already here?'- I asked and looked around

-' They will come later'- dad replied with a very strange face. I didn't ask for anything, as we all went into the house.

A few hours later, we all waited outside as we saw a car approaching the house using our private road. This time again, mum and dad went outside. We stood at the top of the stairs. I was very excited and couldn't standstill. First Kate came out of the car and then we noticed the passenger doors opened and a tall handsome man came out.

Kate comes close to mum and dad but this stranger is just behind her. After greetings, she introduces him to our parents and then comes to greet us. She said that this was her friend, but I think that he must be someone more than that, as the way they looked at each other you could tell that they were in love. He was a tall, slim-built man. He had dark brown hair and a kind of amber eyes. He smiled when he shook my hand and I don't know why, but I smiled too. Something in him looked familiar but I couldn't figure out what. Before we walked into the house, Kate and Yann, who was a stranger's name, took out my sister's dogs and they were so beautiful. My sister's dogs weren't pups but we all met them today for the first time we never visited her in Scotland, even though she had lived there for the last 16 years. We didn't like Mark her husband. I think that we shouldn't treat my sister like that, but I also think that she understood, as after some time she even stopped inviting us. After a while, we all went inside for our family dinner.
