💥 19 💥

🩸 Enzo 🩸

I walked out of Elle's cabin. My heart was beating fast. The smile she held meant the world to me.

It was a genuine smile. And not to mention she looked so beautiful.

From the look on her face, it felt as if no one really gave her a birthday present like the one me and Liam gifted her.

Honestly, it feels good that she smiled.

But Liam having the same watch as me was really. I don't know but I am sure it was a pure coincidence.

I called up Vitaly.

"Hey I am coming back today remember?"

"Yes my man." I replied as I opened my cabin door and took a seat on my chair.

"I expect you to be at airport by eleven pm."

"IIl be there, don't you worry."

"And did you gift her?"

"Yes, she looked so happy." I said as I smiled.

"Oh so expensive gifts make her happy?"

There was a hint of tease in his voice. It simply meant he didn't mean anything he said.

But still, it bothered me.

"Not really, this is not the only time she has smiled out of pure happiness."

"Oh.. You better think twice before falling in love with someone Enzo. I don't want you to get hurt,"

"Yes Vitaly.. I know. I know."

My smile faded as my mind wandered back to the last relationship I had.

I shake my head. I cannot think about that again and again and ruin my mood.

"And you do know whatever I said about Elle wasn't meant to be taken seriously." He said in a stern voice.

"I know."

"Good then. I need to go now."

"Yeah, Ill be waiting."

With that we ended the call. I started working without having any lunch.

Since Vitaly is arriving here tonight I need to do most of the work. Looks like Ill have to stay here till &pm.

And I don't have Elle to help me out. Since it's her birthday, I won't let her stay back. She should be having fun today.

When I was done with work, it was past 8. I gathered all my stuff and head towards the elevator.

I unlocked my mobile to see several missed calls on my phone from Elle.

She usually, never calls me on my personal phone.

I was kind of worried. I called her back immediately.

"Elle? Everything alright?"

"Oh Enzo~" She whispered and continued speaking.

"Why didn't you picked up my calls? Don't tell me you're still at work."

"Yes I am, I am sorry my phone was on mute."

"Oh.." It was silence but she spoke again.

"Actually I wanted to invite you to a small dinner party. I waited for you to call back but you didn't.."

"Oh- I am very sorry Elle.."

I bit my lip nervously. I was so engrossed in work I didn't expect her to invite me. I mean, she already got Mia and others.

But the fact that she called me, makes me happy.

"It's alright Enzo.. I wish you were here." She mumbled the last part. I was kind of stunned. I didn't knew she cared.

"I am So sorry Elle.. "

"Why are you working this late? Did something happen? You should have just called me for help."

"Are you seriously willing to work overtime on your birthday?" She went silent.

"Yeah, I mean if it's an emergency then I don't mind. that's what I did all these years anyway..." Her voice lowered at the last part.

I frowned. 'All these years'?

"Oh.. well, how can I make it upto you?" "What? No Enzo you don't have to do anything, I understand you were busy, it is fine.. really."

I thought she would be mad at me. It still shocks me that considerate people, besides Vitaly, still exist.

I always thought women are impatient creatures but Elle proved me wrong today.

"But it doesn't feel right." I shrugged as I walked towards my car in the parking lot.

"Oh no, it's okay Enzo, oh- no it's just- wait I'll be there!"

She suddenly spoke in a hurry to someone in the background.

"Enzo I'll talk to you soon."

And she hung up. I am sure I heard Mia in the background.

But anyways I'm still glad I didn't pick up her calls.

I'l be honest, every time I am near her friends, I start feeling left out, no matter how hard Elle tries to make me feel comfortable.

My only problem is Liam.

It simply gets awkward.

I think I should visit Elle before going to pick up Vitaly.

I don't want her to feel upset.

With that, I decided to visit Elle at her house at 10pm. I am sure she would be awake.

I rang the doorbell. I just hope she is awake.

She opened the door carefully, peeking out.

Her eyes slightly widened at my sight and she let me in.

She pulled me by my wrist making me sit on the couch she sat across me with her mobile in her hands.

It seems she was on a video call because I could hear someone speak from the other side.

"Who's there sis?" Said the voice from her mobile.

She gestured me to stay quiet with her finger and I immediately got the message.

What's gonna happen? I'm curious.

*************************************************************

🏵️ Elle 🏵️

I gestured Enzo to stay quiet. If my sister and mother gets to know that I have a man in my house, they'll definitely ask me a lot of questions.

And I'm in no mood to answer their dumb questions.

"Who's there sis?"

"It was the neighbour." I shrugged.

"Elle, just a minute, your dad will be right back" Mom said from the background.

"So, Elle, how's everything?" Asked my 23 year old sister.

"Good."

"What did you do the whole day?" She said with a smirk.

"Uhm I went to work, then had dinner.. and

I'm home."

"You didn't do anything. special?"

"Mm I went out to eat."

"Finally!"

She exclaimed. I frowned.

"Finally you stepped out of your comfort zone, or you are always inside that small apartment of yours, like a sloth!"

She yelled through the speakers making Enzo flinch.

He held back the urge to laugh.

"You don't know me." I said giving her a blank stare.

"I do."

"Aw Elle, happy birthday dear!" Mom said as she took the phone from my sister.

"Thank you!" I said with a small smile. At Least they didn't forget.

"Happy birthday dear!" Said dad as the camera turned towards him.

"Thank you dad!"

"How is my child doing?"

"I am good. You?"

"We are missing you a lot! When will you visit us?"

"Mom, you know I have a job and I can't really."

"Mom it's alright, we are gonna visit her at the end of the year anyway."

Said my sister. My jaw clenched.

I don't want them to come here. I don't want them to interrupt my peace. I am having so fun living this way.

Mom and dad will surely put up restrictions as soon as they Come here.

And my sister is going to enjoy this.

"But Elle, you would've had fun if you came here. I am sure you are bored but you're hiding it from us."

"Not really- er I mean it's not that boring.."

"Is your boss that strict?" I gulped, lancing at Enzo. His shoulder went stiff as he heard that.

"Er L." I paused. My sister spoke up before I could make up an eXcUse.

"Mom! She works in sucha big company, you expect her boss to be easy going? I mean I know how famous he is and all but"

"Go and study dumbo!" Said mom with a frown.

We talked for a bit more, SOon mom and dad left and it was just me and my sister.

"Okay I guess Ill hang up."

"No please!" She said in a desperate tone. Enzo rubbed his eyes. Poor him.

I glanced at him.

"How do you know my boss is famous?"

"Mm Elle gah! You know nothing about him!

Ah he is so handsome and hot! Enzo William right?"

"Yeah."

"You need to check his instagram! You'll end up stalking him!" She exclaimed. I could hear mom yell at her in the background.

I sighed. I just hope Enzo isn't uncomfortable.

"I don't have time to tell you much about him, go search it yourself. You are unaware about everything around you. Bitch."

She spat. It's like she is using me as her stress reliever at the moment. It immediately triggered me. That was unprovoked!

"And you got a boyfriend or something?"

"No!" I answered.

"Elle, I know how good you are at hiding stuff but you can't hide from me! Now turn the camera, Lemme see"

How the hell did she know there's someone in front of me?! I was so annoyed at her behaviour.

But I'm not giving up.

"No one."

I hung up and blocked her phone number so she wouldn't call mne again and again.

"Done?"

"Yeah."

I stood up bringing him a glass of water. He chuckled a little.

"What brings you here Enzo?"

"I am sorry I couldn't attend your dinner party." He said with a guilty tone.

"Oh Enzo I told you it's okay didn't I?"

I smiled sweetly. He shrugged and extended his hands towards me. I looked at him confused.

He gestured me to take his hand. I placed my small hand in his big ones.

"Let's dance."

"But I don't know."

"You don't need to."

And he pulled me towards him, placing one of his hands on my waist, my hands rested on his shoulder.

My heart started racing. God! He is so close!

His touch gives me goosebumps at the same time it's soothing.

He slowly guided me, but there was no music in background. It's okay though.

As long as he's here.

Our bodies leisurely moved at the sound of the slow music.

His hand which was holding mine was now on my waist.

The contact made me shiver slightly. To be honest, I was enjoying this moment and I knew he did too.

"You are so cute."

He spoke silently, with a soft smile. I looked at him a bit stun but I guess I should get used to all this by now.

He then leaned down near me, his hot breathe hitting my ear.

"Happy birthday Elle"

"Thank you.."

I replied and then he pulled away looking at me. That's when I realise we were too close.

I immediately lost focus on my leg movement and ended up stepping on his toe. He slightly whimpered and lost his balance.

And we both fell on the couch with me on top of him.

"Ah- Elle"

Uh-oh. What am I gonna do? I quickly got up and panicked.

"Enzo! Are you okay- oh- where did I hurt you...He slowly stood up. His face slightly twisted in pain.

I placed my hand against his chest.

"H-here?"

Then he bursted laughing.

"Elle you look so funny when panicked!"

"Enzo! You're hurt, stop laughing, it isn't funny!"

I crossed my arms and pout, looking away from him.

And then I was lifted off the ground. Enzo held me the way a groom does to his bride. It made me blush.

I squealed when he suddenly spinned me around.

"I'll fall"

He slowly stopped spinning me, I quickly held on to his shoulder and panted as I felt dizzy.

Motion sickness, you know?

I looked at him and blinked a little.

He stared right into my eyes, leaning a little close.

His grip under my knees and back slightly tightened.

I leaned a bit close but snapped out of it when I felt his hot breathe on my face.

Yes, I love him but I am not sure about my feelings. I still get confused sometimes.

And I'm not so desperate for his attention but I love cherishing small moments we share.

Moreover, he doesn't even like me back.

What's the use of kissing? Also, I'll feel used.

But pushing him away doesn't feel right. I placed my hand on his cheeks as my thumb brushed against his cheekbones.

Then I slowly leaned away but startled when his phone rang.

He carefully placed me down and picked up the call.

"I am sorry, Imn on my way."

He spoke in a hurried way and hung up, he looked kind worried.

And it worried me.

"I need to go. Sleep tight Elle."

He smiled. I walked him towards the door, giving him a a concerned look.

"Enzo, drive safely!"

"Yeah.."

After he wore his shoes he looked at me.

His next move had my mouth hanging in surprise.

He placed a small kiss on my forehead before walking away.

My lips parted in surprise as I slowly closed the door. I can't believe he did that!

Are forehead kisses normal between close friends?
