Dance of Affliction (GxG)

Uncontrollable Feelings

»»-------¤-------«« Estelle's Pov »»-------¤-------««

I was drowning in shame and humiliation as I reflected on the past few days. I could hardly believe that I had been so careless with my emotions. To get attached so fast.. The sound of my phone ringing made me jump in surprise, sending me tumbling down the couch and onto the floor - my butt hitting the ground with an almighty

'thud!'

Looks like I'm hangin' out on the floor for a while.

I just couldn't be bothered to get up from the ground, so instead I decided to perform some acrobatics and tried to grab my phone blindly from the living room table. I awkwardly waved my arm around in the air, eventually managing to curl a few fingers around it. It was quite a spectacle. I managed to snatch my phone and saw an unknown number.

Maybe if i don't pick up.. they won't call me again..

So i did. unfortunately the phone started ringing again.

Goddammit!

I picked up the phone with a big sigh.

"Hello, this is Estelle."

"Well, hello Sparky."

My heart skipped a beat and I felt my cheeks burning. I could feel my throat close up as the room seemed to close in around me, smothering me with an inexplicable sense of embarrassment.

Oh you've got to be kidding me.. God please smite me right now.

"Why the— How did you get my number!?" I let out a gasp of shock and revulsion, truly taken aback. But then I heard her deep, throaty laugh reverberate from the other side of the line and it sent waves of heat through me. My heart raced with anticipation, i swallowed hard and i felt my cheeks heat up.

"I have my ways, now how about you keep me company for now?" She spoke in a sultry tone through the phone.

"Are you— Hold on a second!" I frowned and sat up straight on the floor. Which i still didn't get up from. "You expect me to keep you company after you've basically mocked me yesterday!?"

"Yes, i do indeed. I'm sure i'm not speaking in a foreign language."

Oh you—!

"You're unbelievable! No, i'm not going to keep you company!" Before i wanted to hang up she suddenly spoke up again, almost.. desperate? I could be imagining things..

"Hold on now Sparky, i'm sure we can get to an agreement here."

"An agreement?"

"How much do you want?"

I blinked blankly into the room.

"I'm sorry what?" I muttered in confusion.

"What's the cost of having your delightful company for the evening? Surely, you can name a price that would be agreeable to both of us."

I chewed my bottom lip and tried my best to remain calm. She really had a talent to aggravate me, now more than ever since i feel so fucking embarrassed about yesterday.

"Nice try, i'm not falling for it."

"Come on now." I could hear her smile through those words.

"When I asked you what this was and tried to tell you how I felt, you laughed and mocked me." I sighed in frustration. "So why would I keep someone company who acts like that? I'm not getting anything out of it either, so there's no incentive for me to stay on the phone with you."
