Elena Unleashed

Butterflies

"Is there no one else that can go in your place, son? Maybe Bradly, he is your managing director. Why can't he step in? I know he just got back from Japan last week," Dad suggests.

He does have a point. Maybe Bradley can step in for me. But then what will the board think, if I don't go and handle this myself?

"Son, I think you should try to see where this thing with this girl Elena goes. For once let your heart lead you not your head," Dad begs.

"I...I...I just don't know Dad, I barely know this woman. Maybe I am just upset that she said no. I don't know if what I am feeling is real or just some kind of infatuation? I can't let myself ruin my career with our company for a woman I hardly know."

"Son, how will you know if you don't try. What if she is your "One", you don't want to let her go because you're scared of what you're feeling. It was love at first sight when I met your mom, I knew she was it for me. There was no other once I met her, all other women paled in comparison and all I could think about was your mom. I pursued her and convinced her of it, until she agreed to marry me. I knew she felt a connection with me, but she was scared of her feelings too. Don't let your fear deter you."

"I think I need to sleep on it, but I will take what you said into consideration dad. But for now, I think I am going to try to get some sleep, I have to be in the office by 9:00am. Goodnight Dad

"Goodnight son. Oh, wait How about an early lunch tomorrow in case you do decide to go? I can meet you at the office around 11:00 AM?"

"Sure, Dad sounds great, see ya tomorrow." I say as I yawn.

"See you tomorrow son," dad says happily.

I leave my half empty rocks glass on my desk and head to bed, all the while thinking of Elena, and wondering if she is thinking of me. Maybe I should text her? As I got to my room, I looked at my phone and decided to text her. Keep it simple I tell myself. I have typed up and deleted I don't know how many messages.

To Ms. Santos:

Goodnight Elena

I just settled on goodnight. I have no idea on what else to say that won't make me sound like a big fucking Pussy. So now I am laying here waiting for a response. Fuck I am acting like a teenager with a crush. I shake my head and then I start getting a little dizzy from all the liquor I consumed. I dozed off with the cell phone in my hand.

Elenas POV

Both Dawn and I fell asleep binge-watching Love Island after watching the scarry movie my bestie picked out. Burnt Offerings scared the shit out of me, I know I will be sleeping with lights on throughout the house for a while. When I woke up to go to the restroom, I shut the TV off and put a blanket over Dawn and headed to my room. When I got out of the restroom and made sure I kept the light on. I grabbed my phone to make sure my alarm was set for tomorrow morning. When I noticed I got a text message from Jaxon. I couldn't help but smile and get the butterflies going in my belly. When I opened up his text it said "Good Night". I smiled and sent a text back.

To: Jaxon:

Goodnight Bossman, see you tomorrow.

I giggled like a schoolgirl texting her first crush. I want to be mad at him, but I'm not, I'm more confused than anything else. I changed his name on my cell to Jaxon, I really wanted to put his number under One Eyed Beastie but I talked myself out of that one.

I fell asleep thinking of Jaxon and kinda wishing I was sleeping in his arms again. It scares me that I can have these feelings for him in such a short period of time. Shit, it took over a year of Luke courting me for me to finally give in and have sex with him. But with Jaxon, a couple of days of knowing him and I am throwing my pussy at him like a ninja star...I have some serious issues geez, I really need to figure my Shit out.
