Ethereal Pleasure | Venable vs Winters

Chapter 31 | Goodnight, Goodnight

One month has passed and everything's going well. As a recap, you tried your best to keep it low and private with Lana. You told Wilhemina that you already have a job but you work again at Tyler's cafe and nightclub so she'll be less suspicious when you're busy outside. But the truth is you just go on and have dates with Lana.

The twin has been busy with their business, they are training on how they will run their companies.

You always fetch and accompany Lana to her work. On Fridays, you regularly have dinner with your girlfriend then spend the night with her yet your owner knows that you're on your work at the nightclub.

Whenever you can't spend time with her, you call with her for hours until the two of you fall asleep. There's this one time when Wilhemina almost caught you when she entered your room unannounced, a good thing that you hang up quickly.

Now it's Thursday evening, you're having dinner with Wilhemina as the two of you arrived from work. "How's your day at work, sweetheart?" Her knife cuts through the flesh of the chicken as she asks you.

"It was good, kinda tiring." It's tiring because you've been racing your way home every weekday when you fetch Lana from her work. You bite on your fork that's holding a piece of meat.

After that small talk, there's a silence that you don't want to break since you don't want to communicate for the moment. "So, is it true that you've been going out with someone?"

Her simple question almost chokes you to death, making you pick up a glass of water to chug its volume down. You compose yourself before answering her query. "Of course not, where did you hear that?" Giving a little bit of chuckle to ease yourself.

She did not reply to your question hence ignore it. "With your behavior, it's true. I would like to meet that person." Her hand picks up the glass of white wine then takes a sip as she glares at you, knowing that you're lying.

"It's not true, Miss Venable." You try to sound confident and cool at the same time, yet your feet are turning cold, and your heartbeat rapids as if you're running a marathon.

Wilhemina picks up the napkin on her lap to wipe the side of her purple lips. "Come on, (y/n), I'm not stupid. I know that you've been hiding it from me." She clutches her cane as she rises from her seat. "Arrange a dinner tomorrow, I would like to meet who you're dating."

You didn't dare to argue or convince her that it's not true as the only thing on your mind is how you can invite Lana to have dinner with you and Wilhemina. When you look at your owner, she's already exiting the room.

Sighing to yourself as you lost your appetite. "What the hell did I just get myself into."

Next day. You get ready to pick up Lana from her house, you got out early as you don't want to face your owner. It's only quarter to seven in the morning, you thought that Lana is already awake this time.

You rang the doorbell once you step in front of her front door. After a few seconds of waiting, there's no answer so you push it again yet no answer still. "Maybe she's still sleeping." You pull out your phone from your pocket then call her.

"Hello?" She picks up after a few rings then answers with a sluggish tone. "Am I late?"

You sit on the stairs of her front porch. "Good morning, sunshine. No, I'm just early." Then you tilt your head up to look up to the morning sky. "Do you mind opening the door? I'm outside."

She groans on the other end of the call "Alright I'm coming." Lana ends the call. After a few minutes of waiting, she opens her door. As soon as she sees you, she hugs you right away.
