Bound To Fall For You

Chapter 2. Unwanted changes.

Elena Davis,

"Are you staying back again? El." Annoyed voice of my office colleague and friend made me jump on my place due to his sudden inversion on my cabin. I peeped out of my laptop to see his irritated face, leaning on the door with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Sorry, Theo. This will be the last." I showed my most convincing eyes to him as I have to complete my remaining work before the weekend as we planned to go for an outing and I am going to take a leave of a day. He narrowed his light brown eyes at me trying his fake attempt to intrigue me but I chucked at his attempt.

"Absolutely, NOT." He rolled his eyes and came forward to shut down my laptop. We joined Accardo Hotels together nearly a few years ago. From the first day, we have been working together. He is the head of the management department and I help him as he is senior to me. I am an assistant manager. He forced the laptop to shut down and started dragging me out of my chair towards the door.

"Ok, ok. I will come. You're never going to listen to me." I always do that. We are very close friends. He smirked at me showcasing his great victory. This boy is always over the top.

" Then, why do you tell me? Who is the boss here?" He faked his authority over me. He even faked Vince, when I poked his stomach with my elbow. we reached the elevator and I pressed the button and we got in.

"Oh, come on. Fourth time a week is too much, there is a lot of time for a deadline ." He reasoned with me.

" I know, aren't we going hiking? I am taking a week leave after that trip to visit dad." I told him the reason for my working extra as I wanted to visit dad, I miss him. He frowned at me in disbelief.

" Are you sure about that? I will come with you." I inquired about that with a concerned look on his face while we were getting out of the elevator. He has been my friend for a long time, he knows about me, most of it at least.

" Yaa, I am sure and I will handle everything. Don't worry." I tried to persuade him to let me go alone and luck was on my court. He nodded in defeat and signed loudly, hearing him I burst into laughter.

" Ok, bye. Teo." I bid him farewell and approached my car in the parking lot. I sat and drove towards my apartment. He is just worried about me, because my dad is a drug addict. Yes, he is. After my mom died due to terminal illness, he broke down and lost his mind. Even though they are my adopted parents, they showered me with all the love available in this world.

Everything was perfect until a few years ago, mom passed out and my life shook from its original place. It was more difficult for dad, as he loved her so much that he became silent for a few months and when he came out from his trance, he already lost his thinking capabilities. Well, he promised me to stop his drug habits. He will definitely try this time, I trust him. So, what if he is a drug addict, he loves me like his own daughter, to a girl who doesn't even know the name of her birth father. For me, he is the most important person in my life. One day, he will definitely understand how important he is for me and stop taking drugs.

I saw the lights of my apartment were on, which means it's time to meet my super cool roomy and my best friend Lucy Branden. Theo introduced me to her nearly three years ago, he and Lucy were classmates in highschool. We got along better than we ever expected and turned besties in no time, then we decided to become roomies. We rented a big apartment in downtown Miami.

I parked my car in my parking lot and went towards the elevator. In no time I reached my apartment and rang the bell. I waited for a few moments to let her open the door but, when she didn't I used my keys to get in. What's wrong with her? Why didn't she open the door, she always does. I placed my keys and bag in front of the entrance table and entered the hall. I inspected it but she wasn't there. God, she is scaring me now. Maybe, she is in her bedroom. I knocked but no response, so I opened the door and the view I saw made me shout at her with the top of my lungs.
