Crazy Town

Zoe

Eleanor's POV

After watching the news with Oliver, I had to leave as work started just after midday, James had allowed me take the morning off as he had a meeting with a client that I did not need to attend, but he said that we would be working from his home office in the afternoon. 

After leaving Oliver's house, and him telling me to snoop around his house a bit more, I grab a quick lunch from a supermarket before hopping on the bus towards James' house, I eat the sandwich as I stare out of the window, my mind occupied with thoughts of last night. I hope I don't get dragged into the police's investigation, especially not as a suspect. 

I jump off the bus after thanking the driver before walking down the long street that was lined with mansions, it was the upper class area of East-Hollow and it was very obvious. Once I reach his mansion, I type in the code to his gate and step in as it rolls open and closes behind me. I knock loudly on his front door and a after a few minutes he pulls it open.

James' POV

Eleanor and I have been working for a couple hours now, there were some important calls to get through but the workload had begun to ease up slightly. The entire time since Eleanor arrived, there was a nagging thought in the back of my mind that I had forgotten something important, but I kept getting distracted by work to even try to think what it could possibly be.

'Are you hungry?' I ask her, she looks up at me from the sofa opposite my desk, she's so beautiful. Her hair looks soft and smooth, making me want to run my fingers through it. Her skin looks equally as soft and smooth, making me want to hold her close. I can't wait until I make her mine, she is perfect, I have never met a single woman who has been as perfect as she is. She will be mine, it's only a matter of time.

'Um, a little but I had a sandwich before I came' she explains.

'I have some sushi left over from yesterday, I shall bring us some' I tell her, 'stay here' she nods in understanding and turns her attention back to the laptop that's sat on her lap. I leave the room, closing my office door behind me as I head towards the stairs. 

The feeling of forgetting something important returns, but stronger this time. My brows furrow in deep thought. As I reach the bottom of the stairs a gasp, pulls me out of my thoughts, my head snaps up and I am met with pale blue eyes, that's definitely not Eleanor. Suddenly, I realise what the very important thing is that I had forgotten, it's staring straight at me, this is not good. 

'What are you doing here?' I ask, my voice rough and deep, my anger starts to build up, she cannot be here, this is not good at all, how the hell did I forget about her? 

'Um, I'm - um' she stutters, her hand tightening around the cloth in her hand as she tries to avoid my gaze.

'You're not supposed to be here, I can't believe I forgot that you were here' I growl, she flinches slightly. I move swiftly forward, grabbing her by the forearm, her biceps are so skinny that may entire hand wraps around it, my fingers meeting easily. 'I-I'm'. she stutters again.

 'Shut up' I growl at her, tightening my grip on her as she whimpers.

Just as I'm about to drag her away to where she's supposed to be, another voice interrupts us, and that's when I knew I was in trouble. I have to think and act fast, if the girl in my grasp says or does anything stupid, this will be very hard to explain. 

'Zoe?' Eleanor's voice comes from the stairs.

We both look round at her, she is paused in the middle of the staircase, why didn't she just stay in the office? Eleanor smiles as she finishes coming down the stairs and I momentarily forget about my dire situation... she is so beautiful, the longer I stare at her the more I feel my love growing for her, I need her to be mine, I don't think I can wait much longer. 

'Hi Zoe' Eleanor's voice once again pulls me out of my thoughts, automatically my grip tightens on the bicep in my grip. 'I haven't seen you in a long time, how are you?' 

Zoe glances at me under her lashes, my jaw hardens as I send her a glare in warning, 'I-I'm fine thank you, I have been very b-busy' she stutters quietly, not meeting Eleanor's eyes. 

Eleanor glances at me briefly before looking back at Zoe, her eyes go down to the cloth in her hand, her eyebrow twitches questioningly and I quickly jump in before she can say anything, 'Zoe comes round to clean my home, it's too big for me to do by myself' I tell her. 

'Oh, that's very kind' Eleanor smiles at us. 

I nod, 'Yes, she is a really good sister'

Zoe gulps quietly as she looks back at Eleanor, 'Um, I-I really must go'

'You should eat with us, James was just getting sushi' Eleanor smiles kindly at her, my grip tightens impossibly around Zoe's arm and she bites back another whimper. 

'I-I'm really not hungry, besides my m-mum is waiting for me to go home' Zoe shakes her head frantically, almost dropping the cloth in her hand. 

Eleanor pouts slightly, but nods in understanding 'Well, ok, but I hope to see you again soon' 

I release my grip on Zoe before moving towards Eleanor, my hand gently coming to rest on her lower back, my fingers tingling at the feeling of holding her, 'Goodbye Zoe' I glare at her, nudging Eleanor softly towards my kitchen, Eleanor waves at my sister before we both disappear into the kitchen, I close the kitchen door before heading to the fridge, 'take a seat' I urge her as she nods, sitting on a bar stool at the island in the middle of the kitchen. 

I pull out the tray of sushi before hunting through the cupboards for a serving platter, 'Your sister is very shy' Eleanor says, I can feel her eyes burning into the back of my head. 

I bite my lower lip, I hate lying to her, but I cannot tell her the truth yet, she is not ready, 'Zoe is not like other girls, she has been like that ever since she was little, my mother has taken her to several doctors and psychologists'

'Oh, I'm sorry' Eleanor says as I place down the platter in front of her before setting the island table with small plates, chopsticks and soy sauce. 'You don't seem very close with her' she says again, as I take a seat next to her. 

'No, we're not close at all' I say, serving some individual pieces of sushi onto her small plate as she smiles at me, 'We got along as toddlers but as we grew up our personalities had become opposite and now we do not get along, it's not that I hate her, she just angers me' 

'It's not her fault' Eleanor says, before tucking into the sushi. The topic of conversation moves on as we eat, I watch her as she places a dipped piece of sushi into her mouth, a small drop of soy sauce rolling down her pouty bottom lip, her hand comes up to her face, her slender fingers wiping away the soy sauce, how erotic. I cannot wait until she is mine.
