Daddy’s Hot Sauce

Hours had passed and Emily could not help herself but to let her back rest on the bed in her room. The small chandelier with crystals on it made her close her eyes and fell asleep. Her phone kept vibrating as she set it to be in vibrate mode so no one could interrupt her.

Messages kept on coming on her phone as her friends were trying to reach out to her like Jane and Mike who never gave up on reaching out to her. But, at the moment Emily was just a sleepy head in her room being at peace and comfortable ’cause’ she lit up a candle to make her senses be relaxed at the moment.

After a few minutes, a knock on the door made Emily wake up in a sudden way. Her eyes were still lame and her mind was still not in reality.

“What?”

“The door?”

But her body melted on the bed and closed her eyes but someone kept on banging the door and calling her name.

“Goodness! Let me sleep!” she exclaimed and put the pillow on her head to cover her ears.

“God damn it, open the door!”

Emily furrowed her brows when she heard a husky voice of a man outside her room. She uncovered her head and listened to the voice once again and this time she was right.

“Mr. Winston?”

She quickly opened the door and saw Anders that was going to hit the door. Annoyance and anger were mixed onto his face, and Emily was wondering about his presence.

“What are you doing here? And how did you know my house?” she furrowed her brows and stared at him.

They both stared at each other but not for long and Anders moved quickly to her closet and threw some of her clothes on the bed.

Emily could not believe what he was doing right now, so she went to him and stopped him from raiding her closet.

“Stop! Please, I am sorry for falling asleep and forgetting the whole thing tonight, but can you just be patient and wait for me downstairs?”

“You should have told me that! George kept on calling you and told me that you did not answer your phone so-” Anders made some hand gestures on her and did not continue the last part of his sentence and just left her in her room.

Emily felt confused by the way he acted in front of her, and the fact that he was about to say something but kept it for himself made her more suspicious.

“I know the deal, I will never forget about it, why the hell he needs to be here and raid my room like I was a criminal or something, goodness!”

Emily kept on mumbling words while she was putting all her stuff inside her luggage. Then, she passed through the mirror and noticed how bad she looked and felt embarrassed as Anders saw it a while ago.

“This is so mortifying! No one saw me like this.” then she let out a heavy sigh and continued, “Ugly bitch!”

She was not as bitter just like other girls who look down on themselves whenever someone told them that they were ugly or anything, for her she never mind about those negative thoughts about her and since she was an only child in the family, her parents never failed to guide her all throughout her journey and the result of it was pretty obvious on some of her achievements. Although the kitchen was never made for her and she was guilty of that, she admitted to herself that being ugly was not as bad as others thought.

Then, she lightly shook her head and continued packing her things inside her luggage.

A heavy sigh came out from her throat as she was finally done packing some of her important things.

Then, a knock on the door can be heard once again, “Aren’t you done yet?”

“I’m done but I need to uhm- fix myself first!” she shouted and felt relief as the footsteps went away downstairs, so she grabbed her robe and went inside the bathroom.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Meanwhile, Anders just went downstairs and saw his assistant was there smiling toward him. He lightly shook his head and sat on the couch with George.

“You look disappointed, Mr. Winston?” said George and stared at him.

He let out a sigh and said, “Could you believe this? Women will just pack their things but it will take them more than an hour to do it.” he expressed himself as it was his first time to be in the situation.

George simply giggled and that caught the attention of Anders so he cleared his throat the moment that he saw Anders was glaring at him.

“What?” said Anders

George quickly shook his head and said, “I was just wondering why you at like this, I mean it is normal for women to take almost a day just to get themselves ready, so be patient, Anders,”

“You know I hate waiting, and besides this is insane to wait for more than an hour?! Ridiculous,” he mumbled and crossed both of his arms.

George was staring at him and was in disbelief to witness about Anders, especially at this point herein the mighty and authoritative man was now being in an opposite direction.

Then, a phone rang that caught their attention. Anders looked at his phone and was surprised that it was not his phone that was making such noise, so George quickly excused himself and went out of the house to answer the call.

Anders was left alone in the living room with his brows furrowed and crossing his legs together and his eyes were just pinned on the stairs.

Then after a while he heard screams from upstairs and that made Ander alert and ran upstairs and went inside Emily’s room.

“Emily!”

From there he saw Emily was standing at the couch and kept screaming and saw her pointing out something on the ground. His eyes narrowed and saw a lizard on the ground.

“Anders! Li-lizard!” Emily screamed and held the towel tightly that was covering her petite body.

Anders quickly grabbed a couple of tissues and grabbed the lizard then threw it in the bin. He looked at Emily who was seriously scared with the creature, then he walked toward her to help her ease her fears.

“Hey, Emily, it’s gone so calm down and you have to be ready.” he said and lent his hand to Emily.

Emily tapped her forehead and was about to reach his hand when he suddenly lose her balance.

Anders was attentive enough to catch her in his arms and they both fell on the ground.

Emily was on top and heard the drumming sound of her heart while staring at his eyes. While Anders was letting his back rested on the floor and his one hand was wrapped around her waist. Their eyes met and in just one swift move Ander kissed her again on the lips. Emily could not even help herself but to be taken away by the sensation tingling in her body.
