Adeline

After a stressful day at work, I arrive home exhausted.

“Uncle Jack, I am home,” I say once I step inside the house. Today should be his day off, if I am not wrong.

“Hello, Eleanor,” A female voice says,

“What are you doing here?” I glare at the woman in front of me.

“Eleanor, you are home, so early,” Uncle Jack says, surprised to see me home.

“I have missed you too,” She says with a fake smile plastered on her face.

I don’t know what Uncle Jack sees in a woman like her. She might be beautiful on the outside, but not on the inside. Adeline is a gorgeous brunette lady with brown eyes and is 5’7 feet tall. She can still be a model at her age with those beautiful legs of hers and with the way she has been able to preserve her beauty.

“I asked you what you are doing in my house,” I ask this time a little louder. I do not hate people, but I dislike this woman a lot because of what she has done to Uncle Jack.

“Eleanor, calm down, I can explain,” Uncle Jack says, putting his hands on my shoulders to calm me down.

“Explain then,” I urge impatiently.

“Adeline does not have a place to stay, so she was hoping she could stay here for a while before she finds a place of her own”

“Why does she not have a place to stay? Has the man she left you for gotten tired of her?”

Adeline is Uncle Jack’s Ex-wife who cheated on him.

“He didn’t get tired of me; he died,” Adeline replies.

“And how is that our problem?”

“He didn’t leave her anything, so she does not have a place to stay,” Uncle Jack, says coming to her defense. I can’t believe this man. This is the same thing that happened while they were dating. I can’t even count the times Adeline broke up with him before they even got married. Uncle Jack is so in love with her that he forgives everything she does.

“Why didn’t he leave you anything? Don’t answer; he must have known what a gold-digging hoe you are; that’s why he did not leave you with anything.”

“Jack, your niece just called me a hoe,” Adeline whines

“Eleanor, I understand you might not like Adeline, but you shouldn’t call her a hoe.”

“Are you kidding me? You are telling me not to call this woman a hoe, someone who has slept with more than half of the rich men in this city?”

“Adeline might have dated a lot of men, but that does not make her a hoe.”

“Uncle Jack, you can’t be serious right now, but that is not even important. What is important is that this woman should leave this house now.”

“Why,” Uncle Jack asks.

“Why, you are asking me, why. Let me remind you then. She cheated on you and left you for another man. That is why,” I say, outraged with the way he is behaving. I can’t believe after everything she did to him, he would let her stay here. She is just pretending to not have a place to stay so she can get back together with Uncle Jack, but I won’t allow it, never.

“I know Adeline and I’s marriage ended badly, but I don’t think it’s a reason to leave her stranded on the streets.”

“It’s none of your business if Adeline can’t find a place to stay or not. Adeline cannot stay in this house.”

“She can”

“She cannot, and if she does, I am leaving,” I threaten

“Eleanor, she does not have a place to stay; you should be more understanding than trying to kick her out.”

“I should be more understanding. How can I be more understanding of a woman who has little respect for you? And do you really think she does not have a place to stay? She is only here because she hasn’t found a new rich man to suck all the money out of him and is desperate for love that she knows you can give her.”

“That is not true, Eleanor, and besides, I never said anything about taking her back.”

“You don’t have to tell me because I know you are still in love with her. One week living together, and you guys will be back together. It will be the same way things were when you guys were dating, and I can’t have that, never. Adeline, get out.”

“That is not going to happen, and Adeline is not leaving.”

“Then I am leaving.”

“Neither are you.”

“Pick one, Uncle Jack; it’s either me or Adeline.”

“She doesn’t have a place to stay, Eleanor.”

“Goodbye, call me when she dumps you for another man,” I say and pick up my purse from the couch and walk out of the house.

I hear Uncle jack calling my name as I walk down the street, but I don’t bother to answer or look back. It’s like he can’t see I have his best interest at heart. I wish he could see that witch Adeline for who she is and get rid of her once and for all.

I knock on Amber’s door and wait for her to answer. I took a taxi to Amber’s place after I left the house.

“Eleanor,” She says, surprised to see me.

“Adeline is back.”

“Oh, Come in,” She says, moving away from the door, so I can enter her house.

This is not the first time I am coming over to Amber’s place because of Adeline, but this time is a little different.

“I am sorry; I didn’t call before I came,”

“It’s fine, you are always welcomed here, and where is your stuff,” She says, walking into the living room with me, following after her.

“I didn’t leave the normal way this time.”

“What do you mean?” She asks, taking a seat on the couch. I tell Amber everything that happened earlier at the house.

Any time Adeline came crawling and begging for my Uncle to take her back. I will always lie to him that I wanted to give them some time alone, so I will always go to Amber’s place until she leaves. He didn’t know it’s because I dislike her and I couldn’t bear to see her face every day. This is the first time I am leaving in such circumstances.

“I know you mean well for your uncle, but I don’t think leaving this way was the best way to handle things.”

“I know it’s not the best way, but I am so tired of him repeating the same mistake. I feel if I don’t go back home until she leaves. He will start thinking twice about who she is and maybe stop taking her back all the time.”

“I hope he does, but at least this time, he just took her in because she claims she is homeless. They are not getting back together, so I think that’s a good thing.”

“It’s only a matter of time before he does, but this time I will make sure it never happens.”

“How?”

“I don’t know how yet, but I am never going to allow Uncle Jack to go through what he went through last time because of her. I know she is going to leave him again.”

“Hopefully, you will find a way because I don’t want to see him get hurt.”

“Me too”

A few days have passed since I started living with Amber. Uncle Jack calls me every day to check up on me. I answer his calls so he won’t worry too much about me.

I am walking to Mr. Jason’s office to hand him some files he asked me to work on. I knock on his door and expect to hear come in, but I don’t hear anything. I don’t remember him leaving the office, so I wonder why he has not asked me to come in. I knock again, but no response. I enter regardless after knocking for the third time.

I walk inside his office, and he is not inside. I wonder where he is because I have been at my desk all day, and I did not see him leave. Maybe he is in the restroom. I place the file on his table, but I knock his pen off his desk while setting the file. I walk over to the curtains by the window, where I saw the pen flying too. I put my head into the curtains and bend down to find his pen. I hope it’s here because if I don’t see it. I can already imagine my whole day becoming horrible. Today is my lucky day because I find it on the floor after raising the curtains. I am lifting my body back up but freeze when I feel something on my waist.

“How many times have I told you to stop teasing me like this?” Mr. Jason says and spanks my ass. Oh, my God, he spanked my ass. “You know I love the office sex, but we have to be careful to avoid Eleanor walking in on us,” He says, grabbing my waist and slams my ass against the bulge forming in his pants. I feel myself becoming hot because of the contact my ass made with his bulge. I can’t believe my body is behaving this way for the second time. Behave yourself body, he is a sexy man, but he is the rudest and most arrogant human being, you know.

“Mr. Jason, it’s Eleanor,” I say, barely audible even to me. I am so shy and embarrassed with the whole situation that I find it suddenly hard to speak aloud.

“Oh, my God,” Mr. Jason says, removing his warm hands away from my waist.

I stand up straight and turn around, but I don’t look at him. This is too embarrassing for both of us to even look at each other. He does not say anything and walks out of his office. I can’t believe Mr. Jason thought my ass was sexy and my stupid body liked it.
