Chapter 7

You two are stupid…

Clarissa PoV:

I stood at my windows, looking out. You decide to leave earlie one time, and chaos starts to break out.

I sighed and grabbed my wine glass, before I poured me some more wine. “Maybe I’m not an alcoholic, but this company will turn me into one…” With both things in hand, I sat back down in the conversation pit.

“Computer, turn on the tv.” Instantly, the tv turned on and a random show was playing. I wasn’t really paying attention, because I started to think about all the issues at work again.

At the same time, Leonors started to show up in my Mind. I felt myself blush and tried to concentrate onto the tv.

Why did I send her away? My apartment was huge, and she filled it up with life. Now I was alone in here again, everything seemed cold and sad. I sighed and poured me another glass of wine.

Maybe this was how my life went. I met someone that made me happy and after some time, they just leave and never come back. My head started to hurt, as I laid my feet up on the table.

“Great.” I mumbled. “Maybe I should… No, I can’t do that…” There was a fight inside of me, and I couldn’t see if there would be an end soon.

Tired of all that happened, I decided to go and lay down. “Computer, turn the tv off and close the curtains in my room.” In no time, the tv was off, telling me to stand up.

I stumbled into my room, remembering how I cought her staring at my wall. “You soon will see how I can bee, my sweet Nora…” There was a chuckle, before I kicked my heels off and sat down on my bed.

She truly was an adorable woman. So sweet and innocent… And so submissiv. I had a smirk on my face, as I stripped out of my clothes, only leaving on my underwear, before I laid down.

Slowly, I turned my head to the side. How would it be with her next to me? I shook my head, pulling the blanket over me. I knew her for less then a day if you count the time that we spent together as one. Still, I was imagining scenarios with her.

With a sigh, I closed my eyes, wishing that someone would be here to hold me close. Not soon after, I felt how I drifted off to sleep.

Leonora PoV:

Corinne smiled at me. “Okay, okay. Now, tell us everything…”

I tried to hold back my smile. “It. Was. Awesome!” Bryce started to drive, as I leaned forward to tell them everything that had happened.

“You told her about your father?!” “I know! I know! I shouldn’t have… But the memories and everything. And how she listened to me, her eyes, god you should have seen her.” She chuckled at my red face.

“I can imagine.” I kept describing to them. “85,000 dollars, like, comon! That’s a lot of money.” Corinne agreed and Vryce shook his head, as he parked the car infront of a little cafe.

“She owns one of the biggest companys in the world. That’s nothing for her.” “That’s what she said too.” We all got out of the car and went into tha cafe. Besides a young girl with a laptop and head phones, we were the only people there.

After we had ordered, we all sat down. “And something else happened…” “Tell us, tell us, tell us, tell us.” I started playing with my rings, as the blush came back to my face.

“Did you two kiss?!” My eyes widened, as I looked at her, shaking my head. “No! No. Don’t scream like that.” She apologized, before we got out drinks and a piece of the cheesecake.

“She got a call and stood up. After some minutes, I had to use the bathroom, and because she was still on that call I decided to just look for it myself.” “Oh god, please tell me you didn’t…” Corinne shhh’ed him, looking at me to keep going.

“I walked into some sort of little libary, which I fell in love with directly, after that I stumbled across her bedroom…” “Noooo.” I nodded slowly, feeling my cheeks burn, as I thought back to that moment.

“I saw a second door, which I assumed was the bathroom. And so that I wouldn’t be rude, I didn’t pay attention to anything inside the room.” They all looked at me confused.

“But when I walked back out… Let’s just say I saw something I didn’t expect there.” “Oh comon! You can’t just do that and say nothing to it.” I smiled at them. “I just did, now shh, I’m not done.”

Corinne rolled her eyes, before she started to eat her cheesecake. “My dumbass didn’t notice that she was watching me from the door.” Their eyes widened and Bryce started to burst out with laughter.

“I turned red, when I heard her voice. She walked over to me and just went like ‘having wild scenarios my Dear?’ in the most innocent voice she could do!” By now I was pretty sure Bryce would die from laughing, here in this cafe.

“Then she told me that I sadly had to leave and gave me here phone number.” I fished the little piece of paper out of my blazer and looked at the bunch of numbers, written on it.

They both slowly calmed down again, watching me. “Write her, so she know’s your number.” “But what should I write?” I started to overthink, staring down at the paper.

“Why don’t you just write how much you loved it today? And that you would love to do it again soon.” I lifted my head and pulled out my phone, placing both items on the table.

“Now comon, don’t be a coward. You will regret it if you don’t do it.” “I know, but… Isn’t this a bit earlie?” They both rolled their eyes. “If a woman would text me something like this after a date, I would smile like an idiot.”

I looked at him, slowly shaking my head. “This, this wasn’t a date guys. I just met her, we, we are friends.” “Yeah, because friends talk like that.” Corinne said and chuckled, sipping from her coffee.

“Write her, comon! We can’t stay here forever.” I scratched my neck, looking at the two items infront of me. “Now or I’ll take that damn piece of paper and burn it infront of your eyes.”

We both looked at Corinne. “Okay demon, calm down.” Bryce said, for which she slapped him on the arm. “Stop calling me that.” “Never… But she’s right, you should write her.”

I sighed and picked up my phone, seeing the two smirk at me. “Oh just shut it.” With slight shaking hands, i saved her number and opened the messenger, to write her something.

Hey… I just wanted to say that I really

I shook my head and deleted everything I just wrote.

It’s me, Nora, I just wanted to say

Again I deleted everything I wrote. The two watched me curios, but I didn’t pay them attention. It was just a little message, why was this so hard.

Hey Clarissa, it’s Nora here, I wanted to say that I really enjoied today. With you and all…

Once more, I deleted it, placing my phone on the table. “Why don’t you just write what you think? And I really mean think, not overthink.” Corinne smiled at me softly.

“But what if she thinks I write weird? Or laughs at my message? Or-” “Just write what your heart tells you, okay? She will love it.”

I picked up my phone again and opened the messenger.

Hey, Nora here. I just wanted
to say thank you for today, it was
really a nice evening with you and
I would love to repeat it 🙂

Just tell me when it fits for you.
Looking forward to it.

-sent 3:23 PM

I started at the message. It was simple, just like I would write with my friends. My finger hovered over the ‘sent’ button, as I was reading the message over and over again.

“God woman.” Corinne pushed my hand down and the message got sent. I stared at her in terror. “Why did you do that?!” “Because you would have eventually just deleted it.”

I stared down at the chat. “Why isn’t she reading it?” They both chuckled and Bryce snapped away my phone. “Hey! Hey, give it back!” He shook his head, putting it in his jacket.

“You will just stare at it for the rest of the day. And if I remember right, you told us she had to deal with something. So, your not getting your phone until later.” I looked at Corinne.

“Nope, won’t help ya. I’m on his side.” I rolled my eyes and leaned back. “You two are stupid…”
