Daddy’s Hot Sauce

Emily whimpered and felt the pain on her neck, a scent of menthol was surrounding her nose and she slowly opened her eyes and saw the surroundings in a different view. Her eyes widened after she saw a shooting star up in the sky, she closed her eyes and put both of her hands together and whispered her wishes.

Then, a smile appeared on her face and saw Mr. Winston was sleeping with his earphone.

“You are really handsome but a devil,” then she giggled.

After a while she decided to get out of the car to call her friend; Mike. She looked back at Anders who was peacefully sleeping in the car, so she took this chance to call Mike.

“Goodness! Answer it please, Mike,”

Her brows were furrowed and was waiting for Mike to answer the phone and finally after a couple of attempts, Mike answered the phone.

“Finally! Mike, what happened to you?” she curiously asked and continued, “Will you turn on your video? I want to see those wounds, I want to know exactly what happened,”

Emily was continuously throwing him questions and when Mike decided to open his camera, she covered her mouth and could not believe what she was seeing right now.

“Oh my God! Who did that?!” she exclaimed and even got nearer to her phone.

“I don’t know but, fortunately, I did not get serious injuries, so I am still on medications, how about you?”

Emily heave out a sighed and answered his question, “Nothing serious but simple tasks that I had to finish, you know I need to obey him,”

Emily lied to him, the truth about it was, and she has no idea on what job she should be doing in the next few days. Her face turned out to be serious and lightly shook her head.

“What’s wrong? Did he do something on you?! Tell me, Emily, I can-”

Emily quickly cut him off and said, “Nothing, he was just professional towards me, so I don’t see any problem on that,”

Emily plastered a smile and just let Mike see the not so real Emily at this moment.

“Wait, I know that place Emily, and why are you there? Are you on a date again?”

Emily laughed about what he said so, she walked a few steps and said,Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Never! After what happened, I mean no way. I want to enjoy being single” she quickly shook her head and sarcastically said it to him.

Mike laughed and that made Emily roll her eyes. All the pain was still fresh and in fact she was not ready to give herself to anyone else.

“Mike, mom and dad would be here next week and I want you to take care of them and I’ll be busier in the next few days,” she reminded him about her parents’ arrival and wished that he could take care of them.

“No, problem with that, Ems, so how about a movie date this weekend?”

Emily was not able to answer his question as someone grabbed her phone and threw it into the abyss. Then, she widened her eyes and saw what Anders did to her phone.

“What have you done?!” she exclaimed while staring at the abyss.

Anders shrugged his shoulders and said, “Nothing,”

“Nothing?” she quickly shook her head and clenched her fist.

“In case you forgot Miss Emily, it was stated in the contract that you are not allowed to entertain other guys except me,” he formally said and put both of his hands on his pockets.

Emily fanned herself with her hands and looked at him.

“Mike is my friend! My friend! We are not in a relationship or whatever you might think of it!” she emphatically said with her hand gestured in front of Anders.

“I’m done with this, if you keep pushing this, you will surely regret it in the future, Emily, so if I were you I’ll practice to obey my order,” then he stepped toward Emily and leaned closer to her.

“I hate people who disobey me,” he whispered while staring into her eyes.

“You always throw in my face about this bullshit contract!” she shouted on him, “The contract was only made for you and not even a fair rule to me,”

Her lips were pressed together as if she was trying to stop herself from being violent to him. She was pissed off as he has no right of throwing off her phone into the abyss.

“You should have read the contract, Miss Emily, then mocked those words onto my face after you read and understood about it.”

Emily crossed both of her arms and heard him speak once again.

“Let go! I have lots of things to do tomorrow,” then he turned his back and walked straight to his car.

Emily was left on the place and was looking at the abyss. She was still hoping that she could recover her phone, so she threw a couple of rocks just to see how far it went until it reached the ground.

“Shit!” she whispered while staring at the abyss and could not even hear the land of the stone.

She walked back and forth trying to think of other ways to get her phone but after a couple of minutes, she was now torn between going to Anders or staying there and asking someone to help her to get her phone back.

But her attention was caught by the loud horn of his car. It was a loud and a long horn that was being a distraction on her, so she walked toward her car and had no other choice but to obey him and went inside. She quickly crossed her arm after buckling the seatbelt.

Anders on the other hand started the engine and moved the steering wheel and left the place.

No words were making them both break the wall of silence. Emily was staring at the window while Anders was focused on the road with his brows furrowed.
