Late Love

Chapter Three

ELLA’s POV

“My darling daughter I’m sure your daddy means you no harm , he’s just really in a fix and he hopes for you to be settled and help him settle his problems. Besides, marrying Andrew shouldn’t stop you from achieving whatever dreams you have in mind. Get dressed, your daddy is waiting for us downstairs. I picked you a dress from the closet. The red one with the high slit and the gold heels. Let your hair down, it makes you look really enthralling” my mum said getting up to leave my room.

I’d just taken my shower and per my dad’s request we would be visiting Andrew’s family today. I’d vowed never to cry about this anymore. Just hold it all in, after all I’m strong. I stood in front of my mirror and chanted, “I’m a strong confident woman” five times. I stared at my fat self in the mirror. All my life I’ve been this way, I’ve had people call it curvy and generous but I'd still call it fat. Don’t get me wrong I’m confident in my body but I’d still like to lose a little weight. Anyway, I moved away from the mirror and moved into my closet. The cloth my mum picked would show too much but I started to pull it over my generous behind until I wore it fully. I stepped back toward the mirror and I saw myself in the dress. I applied some oil over my legs to add some shimmer due to the slit. I decided to put my hair up, as my only form of defiance. I picked my heels up on my way out. My dad was pacing to and fro in the foyer and my mum was sitting close to the door. I got down the stairs announcing my presence. My dad didn’t even think to acknowledge me, he just headed for the door. My mum came towards me and rubbed my forearm, “you look nice” she said “you should have let your hair down like I said” I refused to reply, just gave her a subtle smile and we headed for the car.

Mr Cole had apparently sent a car for us, a limo in fact and my dad was already downing a shot of alcohol. My mum and I got in and the car started off. I rested my head backwards, closing my eyes and shutting everyone and everything out till my mum shook me saying we’d arrived. It felt like it took just two minutes. I pulled my heels on and buckled them then got out of the car. Dad led the way heading for the door, and mum and I followed. We were ushered in towards the foyer where we saw the beaming Mr Cole and his expressionless Son, Andrew standing waiting for us. From the moment we entered I could feel Andrew’s eyes staring at me, it made me feel slightly uncomfortable. Dad and Mr Cole shook hands and laughed at something before Mr Cole suggested we move toward the sitting room to sit and discuss properly. Andrew walked behind me as I walked behind both our parents. I could feel his eyes on me and on my derrière it felt really uncomfortable. I slowed down a little for our parents to walk ahead and turned to him.

ANDREW’s POV

“Why do you keep staring at my behind?” She turned to me and asked

I hadn’t been staring at just her behind, I’d been staring at the whole of her. She was a vision. I wanted her. I wanted her in my bed, I am my mother’s son after all. I’m certain it wouldn’t be a recurring thing, my wanting her and the s*x with her but I still wanted it regardless.

I smirked and replied her “that is because it’s a nice behind”

I noticed her clench her fists and the veins in her neck became more obvious. Her neck was beautiful if stared at it a lot as well. It was even more obvious since her hair was held up in a messy bun. I thought of how beautiful it would look with my love bite in it. She seemed like she was about to say something but then reconsidered. She huffed and turned around angrily, walking towards our parents. As she walked the slit of her dress rose up and her long legs shimmered and called to me. I wanted the whole of her. She enthralled me.

ELLA’s POV

It’s a nice behind!!! God he annoyed the hell out of me. I’d heard stories of his playboy antics but I didn’t think he was a terrible and vulgar flirt! And more so when we were so close to both our parents. I didn’t like him. I was certain of that now but I have to fulfill daddy’s wish. I’d marry him and find a way to live with him, maybe I wouldn’t even have to live with him. I took a seat next to my mum and he strolled in casually with his hands in his pockets. I gave him a side eye and he chuckled on seeing it. He took a seat on a solo couch in the room.

Mr Cole started up the discussion with that. “I’d like the children to get married as soon as possible” I noticed my father nod in agreement and I heard Andrew say loudly, “I agree” he was beaming and I was even more pissed off. I chose this moment to chime in, “I do not” every face in the room turned to look at me my father looked furious and my mother looked scared for me, Andrew on the other hand looked amused with a smirk on his face as amused as his father which surprised me because I expected he’d be furious as well. Mr Cole responded to me “ why not dear?” I became shy under all their gazes. I had to say some at this point. Dad's face was getting steaming hot but I have to speak for myself regardless. I'm not sure what would happen after I let my words out but I still had to talk!
