CHAPTER 59
The following days go by in a blurb. I am preparing hard for Jason and I’s trip to Bora Bora next weekend. We leave in a week. I can’t wait for next week’s weekend to get here. I am so happy I am going to Bora Bora next week. It’s like a dream come true.
I get cut off from my daydreaming when I hear Vivienne calling my name. I can’t believe I got lost dreaming about the beautiful things we will get to do in Bora Bora.
“Sorry, did you say something?” I ask Vivienne.
“Yes, I did. I asked you if you are free to go to lunch together.”
“Why are you asking?”
“I want to talk to you. I thought it would be nice over lunch.”
“What would you like to talk about? I hope it’s not about my Uncle because as I said last time. I am not helping you ask him for forgiveness.”
“I remember what you said. I want to speak to you about something else.”
“Oh, I usually eat lunch with Jason, but I am sure he won’t mind if I don’t join him today. What time would you like us to go?”
“1 p. m. is fine with me. How about you?”
“Good with me too.”
“See you later,” She says, walking to her office
“Bye,” I say before she enters her office.
I wonder what she wants to talk about. I assumed it would be about Uncle Jack, but she said no. I wonder what else she could want to talk about.
By 1. p. m Vivienne and I leave the office and walk to the nearest restaurant to have lunch. Vivienne waits till we order our food before she speaks up.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I know it’s late to be doing this, but it’s better now than never.”
“To be doing what?”
“I am sorry, Eleanor for everything I did to you. I let my jealousy for Jason push me to do horrible things to you. I am sorry I hurt you,” Vivienne says, and I look at her face to see if she is being sincere or not. Unbelievably she seems sincere. I can’t believe she just apologized to me. I never thought I would see this day coming. It feels so surreal right now. I don’t even know what to say.
“Please say something, Eleanor,” Vivienne says,
“Wow, I can’t believe you just apologized to me.”
“I know,” Vivienne says, chuckling to reduce the tension around us. “Do you accept my apology?”
“Are you apologizing because you want me to allow you to date, my uncle?”
“No”
“Why are you suddenly apologizing then.”
“Someone made me realize that just because you change your ways around someone does not make everything better. Sometimes the word ‘sorry’ also needs to be heard for the person you hurt to understand you are sorry for what you did in the past.”
“Wow, you keep surprising me today with your words Vivienne.”
“Is that a good thing or a bad thing?” She says, chuckling and smiling
“A good thing,” I say, smiling
“So………..”
“Oh, I forgave you a long time ago, Vivienne. I just never forgot what you did to me, but after today, I plan to forget those bad memories.”
“Thank you so much, Eleanor.”
“You’re welcome, and if you don’t mind me asking. Who gave you those words of wisdom?”
“Jason”
“Jason,” I say, surprised
“Yes, Jason. He met me on the way to his office one day and said those words to me.”
“I am surprised he told you to apologize to me.”
“I was surprised too, but I am happy he did. Maybe now we can become friends,” She says, smiling.
“I guess we can,” I say, smiling back.
Jason and I are on our way to his grandfather’s ranch. We haven’t been on a date in a while. Jason felt it would be nice to spend the day horse riding and picnicking by the small lake close to Mr. Crawford’s ranch. I actually didn’t think we would go on our date today like we planned last week since we are leaving for Bora Bora in a week. Jason believes it’s not a crime to start the enjoyment a weekend before our trip.
I step out of the car once Jason parks it beside Evan’s car. I didn’t know he was coming.
“Did you know he was coming?” I ask Jason as I shut the car door
“No, I didn’t,” Jason says, removing our picnic basket from the backseat. Jessica arranged everything in the basket. I wanted to do it, but Jason said he wanted her to do it based on his instructions. He wants to use it as a means to prove to me he knows me well. I find it adorable that he wants to do that.
“Do you have everything with you?” I ask as Jason walks over to me
“Yes, I do. Let’s go,” He says, leading the way to the stables.
Jason hands over the picnic basket to one of the stable boys to take it to the location where we are having our picnic. We will ride there, so it’s better they take it there before we get there. Jason and I are about to enter the stables but stop once we hear Amber’s scream. I can’t believe I almost walked in on her and Evan having sex again. Also, why are they doing it here? Are they that horny they can’t wait till they get home? I have heard that once you start, it’s hard to stop. I wonder how Jason is staying celibate.
“You know if you want, I can make you scream louder than her,” Jason whispers to me. I can feel the smirk on his lips as his mouth brushes my ears.
“I know,” I say, smiling, turning around to face him. He puts his arms around my waist and pulls me closer to him.
“How about we find out now,” Jason says, leaving wet kisses on my neck.
“Jason,” I moan as his lips do wonders to my neck
“Yes, Eleanor,” He huskily whispers into my ear.
Jason’s hands start to roam around my body. I close my eyes and enjoy the feeling of his hands on my body. I even wish he would go under my dress and touch my skin. It’s like he read my mind because I start to feel his hands going into my dress. His hand is about to reach my waist but suddenly stops. I shoot my eyes open once I hear one of the stable boys speak to Jason.
“Mr. Jason, which side of the lake would you like me to keep the picnic basket,” A voice says from behind Jason.
It’s a good thing Jason’s body is shielding me right now if not. I don’t even want to imagine how embarrassed I would have felt if the stable boy had come in and seen me. I quickly adjust my dress and take a step away from Jason. He smirks at me before he turns around to speak to the stable boy. He knows if the stable boy didn’t show up. He would have made me scream his name the same way his cousin is making Amber scream his. I can’t believe I was condemning them for being too horny, and Jason and I almost started making out outside the stables. At least Amber and Evan waited till they were indoors.
After Jason is done talking to the stable boy, Amber and Evan are also done. They walk out of the stable and even if you didn’t hear them. Amber’s disarranged hair, the hickey on her neck, and her rumpled dress are enough to tell you what happened.
“Hello,” I say, smirking as I watch Amber’s cheeks becomes chrisom red.
“Hi, Eleanor, when did you get here,” Amber says, fixing her hair
“I think about the time you were. “Oh, oh just there, Evan'” I say, mimicking Amber’s voice. If it’s possible for her face to become any redder, I think it just did. It feels so nice to tease her
“I can’t believe I was loud enough for you to hear that.”
“You are loud all the time” I can’t believe she does not know she is loud. I can hear her from her house door before entering the house any time she is having sex with Evan.
“Eleanor, stop teasing Amber. She looks like she is about to burst from embarrassment,” Jason says
“That’s the whole point of teasing,” I say, smiling devilishly
“Eleanor, if you don’t stop teasing my girlfriend. I will tell Jason something about you, you don’t want him to know about,” Evan says, coming to Amber’s rescue.
“You wouldn’t dare,” I say, panicking. I don’t even know what exactly he might want to tell Jason, but they are so many embarrassing things I don’t want Jason to know about me. Evan and I were pretty close back in college.
“Tell me, Evan” Jason sounds eager to find out what I don’t want him to know.
“There……….” Evan gets cut off by one of the stable boys
“Mr. Jason, your horse is ready.”
“Thank you,” Jason says, collecting the rope of his horse from the stable boy. It’s the same one he gave our picnic basket to. He must have asked him to get his horse ready. “You were saying Evan,” Jason says, turning back to face Evan.
“I was just kidding. There is nothing about Eleanor I know that you don’t know already. I even think you know her more than me now,” Evan says, smiling.
“Really, is that true Eleanor,” Jason says, looking at me
“Yes, it is.”
“That’s good to hear,” He says and pecks my lips. I hear Evan and Amber cringing in the background and decide to deepen our kiss. This is small compared to the torture they made us listen to a few minutes ago.
