The Inevitable Disaster

ChapterThree

After a few days, Janet became stronger and healthier than before. She went to Miss Eugenia's house and thanked her for caring for her daughter. She asked Elsie to pack her items to go home which she obeyed sadly.

She was going to miss Henry, though their house was just the next after Miss Eugenia's.

It was with a heavy heart that Elsie and her mum were about to leave. Henry appeared from upstairs, glaring sadly at his friend. He asked his mum if he could go with them just to help them carry Elsie's items and she agreed.

At Elsie's home, Henry took Elsie's items into her bedroom. Elsie escorted him, leaving Janet, who was already tired in the living room. As Janet rested on one of the chairs in her living room, she dozed off.

On the other hand, Elsie thanked Henry for carrying her items to her room. “It's my pleasure”, Henry said as he went very close to Elsie. He held her tight and hugged her. He didn't want to end the hug this time around so Elsie disengaged herself. Just as Elsie was about to leave her room to the living room, Henry pulled her back and went on his knees. He looked directly into her eyes but she turned away. He pleaded with her to look into his eyes and she did so shyly.

“Dear Elsie, I just wanna ask a favor from you”, Henry said with a strange fear in his voice. Elsie smiled and told him to ask for anything he wished. “Please, don't reject me, Elsie, I admire you. I just want something more than friendship from you. Do you mind if I called you my girlfriend”, Henry finally said. Henry took her hands and she asked him to get up from his knees, which he did obediently.

Elsie finally pounced on him and he carried her like a baby while he kissed her deeply and held her as tight as he could. They lost control until Janet coughed, they quickly departed and marched downstairs to where Janet was seated.

Henry told Janet that he was leaving as he gave Elsie a wink without making her mom see that. 'Say thanks once again to your mom, Janet said as Henry moved to the main door. He turned back, waved them, and finally disappeared. Elsie went to her room with a smile on her face. She sat down alone, smiling and recalling how romantic Henry was. She couldn't believe that he proposed to her, hugged her so tight like never before, fondled her, and even kissed her as deeply as no one had ever done.

As she sat on her bed, already lost in her daydream, Henry called her on her mobile phone and she quickly answered. They chatted for several hours, which she had never done before. She decided to keep her relationship with Henry a secret. She didn't even inform her best friend, Anne.

After a year and some months, Henry told Elsie that his whole family was relocating to New York City. He told her about how big and beautiful their mansion in New York was. He promised her that when he married her, he would stay with her in New York and replace her father to make her happiness complete once again.

A week before he left for New York City, he invited Elsie to a secret hotel, where they ate nice food and got themselves drunk. Henry booked a room where he decided to share the night with Elsie. They decided not to go home drunk so they enjoyed it till the next morning. That night, Elsie and Henry showered together in a jacuzzi. After taking their bath, Henry romanced Elsie and finally threw her into the bed. He fondled her until she couldn't reject his strong desire that night. He pulled down his towel and sprang his condom on her. He finally found his way inside her. She has never had such a moment before so she felt guilty after the practice.

On the morning of the next day, they prepared to leave the hotel to their various houses. When Henry went home, his mother asked him where he's been and he told her that he had gone to his boyfriend's house to say goodbye but unfortunately, he couldn't return yesterday.

Elsie on the other hand told her mother that she went to Anne's home. Janet ordered her to sit down and she did so obediently. She advised her to prepare herself for university and respect her privacy too. Elsie thanked her mom for the advice and hugged her mom. She started preparing herself for school.

One afternoon, Anne went to Elsie's home and informed her that she would be going to the university very soon. Elsie told her that it was the same with her. They became more excited when they realized that they would be going to the same school. 'Are you going to study something that relates to your talent'? Anne asked Elsie. Elsie said no but at the same time, she was so unsure of what she wanted.

Elsie too was very talented in singing and acting but even her parents didn't know because they hardly had time to observe what she loved. That was another reason why she loved Henry so much. She only didn't tell him anything about her talent because he normally said that he wouldn't like to have the same job as his wife. He always said that when they chatted, especially those days when she stayed with them.

Ever since Robin left Elsie and Janet, Janet's financial problems all became over and her life moved more smoothly than it had ever been. She earned salaries from her teaching profession and her freelance work. She provided Elsie with everything she could and ensured that she had all the necessary morals to live on her own.

The time finally came for Elsie to leave home for university. Janet took her daughter to a shopping mall and assisted her in buying all that she needed for school. She gave her all the necessary advice she could give and Elsie promised her mom to take very good care of herself. Janet herself drove Elsie to school and returned home all alone.
