A plain grey silky dress, which made her look trim and neat.
Ethan consciously became aware of her long beautiful legs, as she stepped towards him.
She placed the cups on a round table, then she poured out the whiskey into the two glass cups and handed one to him.
"So tell me about your family, you have never mentioned anything about them to me before," Ethan said, trying to start up a conversation, to ease the thoughts he was thinking in his head.
He needed something that could divert his attention from her almost exposed skin and slender beautiful legs.
On the other side, Agnes's face turned sad after hearing his question. Ethan looked at her face and noticed the sudden change.
"You do not have to tell me, if it brings back bad memories to you," he said to her in a soft tone, after he had noticed the sad look on her face.
Agnes smiled at him, then she slightly opened her mouth and said, "I was abandon at the orphanage when I was a baby," she answered. Ethan stood up and walked to where she was, he sat down beside her and put a hand on her shoulder."I'm so sorry," he said to her, feeling a sudden kinship and patting her back.
"There is no need to say that to me, besides I am doing very well without them." She replied boldly to him."What about your own family?" She added.Ethan wanted to leave her question unanswered but he knew it would be unfair, since she also shared her past experience with him."My mom is dead, you don't have to feel pity for me because I am very glad she died. The only family I have left is my dad," he said with an angry expression clearly written all over his face."Did you just say you are glad about your mom's death?" She asked in awe, shauning the angry look on his face."I do not want to talk about her any further," he replied to her, sipping his drink."What about your relatives, I mean your uncle, aunt, cousins, nephews.." she left her other words to trail away. "Don't you have any?""My mother was an only child of her parents, so I do not have any relatives from her side while my dad has a younger brother, whom I detest so much and he has a son who is almost the same age as I am," he explained."Wow, it would be a pleasure to meet your family one day," she said smiling to him.What she said angered Ethan but he didn't make his anger obvious to her, "you will definitely meet my dad but as for the others, it is a no," Ethan stated to her in a clear tone, his voice Rose in anger."Why?" Agnes, the curious cat asked, staring at him with confused set of eyes."Because I hate them as much as I hate my mom. This discussion is making me feel sick, I guess it is time to take my leave," he said to her and stood up to leave in a fit of rage.Agnes was mixed with different feelings at that point but one thing she knew was that she couldn't let him leave like that, she could not let him drive in such an angry condition."Please do not leave, I'm sorry if I angered you with my unnecessary and stupid questions." She pleaded with him, holding his hands in order to stop him from leaving.When Ethan heard her plea, he realized he had over reacted. He turned to her and raised her chin up, so that they could look at each other face to face."Forgive me Agnes, I did not mean to pass out my anger and frustration on you." He apologetically said to her.
This little action he took triggered something between the both of them, a feeling of longing and desire. The both of them stared at each other with strong desire. At that moment they both wanted each other passionately. "Agnes?" He called out her name, his voice hoarse and unsteady. He could not understand why he wanted her so badly, more bad than he had ever wanted a woman.At the mention of her name, Whitney's blood hammered in her throat."Ethan I think it is time for you to go, it is getting late" she said but the look in her eyes told a different thing altogether. She looked at him with an urgent, naked, desire.Those look in her eyes, Ethan could clearly see through them. Now he was very sure that he was not the only person that had this sexual feeling, she also felt the same way too and this made him feel victorious. His plans could easily have effect on her, if she already had this kinds of feelings for him.
"Are you sure you want me to go?" He asked her, making it sound more like a joke even though his words were serious. Agnes's face was as expressionless as ever. Inwardly she was battling the voice in her head that was telling her to stop him from going.Ethan noticed the blank look on her face."Hey, I was just joking," he spoke to her in a flat tone. He held her close to him and whispered, "I value you so much and I would never take advantage of you, always remember this."She looked up to his face and smiled, "I know. It is already late, you have to get going now." She told him, wanting to be released from his touch, which was setting her on fire."Alright I will leave but on one condition." He playfully said to her."What condition?" She asked him, attentively giving him all of her attention."The condition is that tomorrow you will have to come along with me for a very long drive, after which we will have a picnic," Ethan said to her in a heartene
"If this relationship is formed, I will be sure that I won't lose and you won't either," he said to her, with his knees still on the floor. Agnes looked at him and a tear rolled down her eyes. She quickly ran out from there. Ethan watched her flee from him and it made him very angry. He quickly stood up and hit the wall with his fist in frustration."Why did she always love to display dramatic scenes?" He asked himself in anger, his teeth clenching hard against each other.He stormed to the direction Agnes took in anger, when he took some steps he found her sitting on a block, with her head bent and he heard her crying too.Ethan could not understand why he felt his heart ache on seeing her crying but he shoved the thought aside. He slowly walked up to her and knelt down by her side."I am very sorry Whitney, I did not mean to make you cry. You also don't need to worry about giving me a reply, if you don't reciprocate my feelings, do n
"Hey man how far?" Ethan said and sat down."Not good, I have been waiting here for you for almost an hour. You said you were going to be here by five," Clinton complained, looking at his watch."The time now is thirty minutes passed six Ethan, I do not like this at all." He said, twitching his forehead.Ethan stared at him like he was a nothing, "Why are you making a fuse out of nothing? I do not see any reason why you should be complaining, you do not even have a date.""So you mean I must be on a date before I can complain about sitting down alone and looking around for an hour like a loner, with no one to keep me company?" Clinton inquired, his face looking like the back of a trolley."No, that is not what I meant though," Ethan said to him, holding back his laughter. "I am sorry for wasting your time," he added, even though his apology didn't sound like one. It sounded more like a sarcasm."That is what I wanted to hear from you, even t
Days turned to weeks and weeks to months.x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x xEthan was making a lot of preparations while his friend sent invitations across. The surprise party was going to take place in the great Hall of Calendar. The hall was massive and grand, big in size.Agnes's birthday was around the corner but she seemed less interested in celebrating it. She did not even bother to inform anyone about it, well that was how she had always celebrated her birthday. A day off from work, alone in her house, eating and drinking whatever was available and wishing her self many more birthday celebrations in loneliness and sorrow. Most times she would use that opportunity to go to the orphanage where she had grown up in to share gifts and money among themselves. Then she would cut her cake in their presence and they would all enjoy it. This time around she had already concluded that her birthday wasn't going to be special. One cool thing about Agnes was that e
A knock sounded on Agnes's apartment door. Agnes dismissed whatever she was doing and walked to the door. Obviously she had forgotten that Ethan was coming over. "Who is that?" she asked, not peeping through the hole."It is Ethan," he said staring at his watch. Immediately Agnes became alerted, she peeped through the hole and saw that it was really Ethan. She saw that he was dressed corporately in a black suit and a tie. Agnes tried to remember the occassion of the day. She did not remember any occasion. It was at that moment, that it dawned on her that Ethan was coming to pick her up."Agnes?" Ethan called her, bringing her back from her reverie. "Why are you not opening the door?" He asked on the other side. "Oh sorry," she apologetically spoke out and opened the door immediately. "Hi Ethan," she greeted. "Hi, did I come too early?" he asked, when he noticed she was still in her night wear. "No, not at all. Come inside," she said impatiently. Ethan wal
He brought out a diamond ring. "Agnes it is you or no one else," he declared to her.Whitney was short of words, she stared at him with her mouth agape."Please just say the word yes and you will make me the happiest man ever," he pleaded."Ethan, no Ethan, this is so wrong." She said, taking two steps backwards. "I am so sorry but I do not deserve you, I am nothing compared to your status. You deserve a much better woman," she lectured him in tears."Agnes, you are well aware that I am not concerned about your status. I need you in my life, I want my status to be your own status, your soul be joined together to mine as one, believe me Agnes I would stoop to any level to have you as mine," Ethan let all this words flow out of his mouth."Agnes please marry me," he asked her again.She looked at him for some seconds, then she wiped her and walked back to him and said, "I love you so much and so I agree to marry."Ethan slid the ring to her finger, then he quickly stood up and gave her
"Dad", Ethan's cousin said to his dad. "I suspect that Ethan has an ulterior motive to why he is getting engaged." "Son do not worry, Ethan does not stand a chance against us. Let's play along with him. But keep one thing in mind, we have to get to the bottom of this and I trust you can get to the root of this.""Dad it's gonna be tough but I don't think I have any other option than to get to the bottom of this. Seeing it will be beneficial to me if that Ethan of a thing does not get married." Eric's dad laughed." I am so proud of you my son. I want you to come up with a plan." " I will dad."XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"Clinton", a voice called out from behind.Clinton was about to enter his car before the strange voice called."Clinton", the voice called out again.Clinton turned. " You!" he exclaimed."Are you expecting anyone? Or did you just see a ghost? Come on, my presence should not frighten you," Eric said." Well it doesn't. What are you doing around here?" Clinton asked."I am
"Once the date and auditorium has been changed, they won't be able to wreck my marriage. All you need to do is find me a church and make preparations for a fake invitation card. I will handle the rest."Clinton smiled, "I'm so happy to know that you are really making use of those things in your head."Ethan laughed at Clinton's words.Clinton nodded. "Did you call Agnes?Ethan looked at his friend questionably and spoke up. "Why should I call her?""To postpone the shopping of course.""Yh, that's true. I should call her. She might be waiting for me."Clinton frowned at him, "you are such an asehole."Ethan's eyes widened. "Point of order, I am not an asehole.""Prove it to me," Clinton wheezed.Ethan called Agnes.She answered the call. "Hello Ethan, where are you? Are you still coming?""I'm sorry my love but I am stuck in traffic. You know what? Just go straight home, tomorrow we will go shopping.""Okay," she said with her soft and tiny voice.x x x x x x x x x x x x x"Hello Agnes
