Are you trying to manipulate me?
Sadie’s pov
Why would Paul want to do such a sneaky thing to me? Why does he want to deceive me and sleep with me in the first place? It was so surprising when I refused, and Sam had no choice but to come clean when I refused to tell Sara what he had initially told me. Why does he expect me to tell Sara that I was going after her husband when in our conversation I didn’t mention anything like that? It felt like negotiating a life-or-death deal, and Sam really wanted to help his friend. Then I told Sam,
“If you want me to say such a thing, tell Paul to call me.”
“Paul is currently at an important company presentation.”
“If Paul can’t call me, I don’t think I can do what you’re asking me to do. Why would Paul be so cruel? He’s taken on more than he can handle. If he wants to save his family, then he should be the one to call me, not you,” I ended the call.
I’m grateful I made the right choice. I almost accepted Paul’s advances because I had some feelings for him. But out of nowhere, I chose Justin. Thanks to Sadie and her calls. She doesn’t know what she’s done for me. It was because of her that I chose her dad.
It was two hours later I was in the kitchen preparing lunch when Paul called my phone. I looked at the phone, and sudden anger prevented me from answering the call. It rang and ended, and when it rang again, Justin walked into the kitchen. I didn’t want Justin to know, so I had to answer the call and leave the kitchen. Before I left, I said to Justin after pecking his cheek,
“Please, help me continue the cooking, I have an important call to make.”
My flirtatious behavior blinded Justin, and he took over where I left off. I picked up the call and left the kitchen.
“Hello… hello…” I pretended not to hear what Paul was saying, and when I finally reached my room, I said,
“Paul, what do you want? Your plans have backfired right in front of you.” My tone silenced him, and he didn’t know what to say.
“I never expected this from you. You lied to me about a divorce that was never going to happen. Still, I wanted the best for you and wanted to plead with your wife to reconsider her decision…”
“Please, Sadie, I’ve been foolish,” he interrupted me.
“But I can’t do what Sam told me to do. It will damage my reputation, and Sara will never respect me again. Wait a minute, have you even considered what you’ve asked me to do? To call your wife and tell her that you and I were meant for each other, and that’s why I made the call and that I’m still in love with you? Does that make any sense? It will be as if I’m the one trying to break up your marriage. Paul!” I paused, wanting my words to deeply affect him, and then I continued,
“The best thing for you to do is to openly confess to your wife and tell her that you wanted to sleep with me. That’s when I’ll step in if Sara refuses to forgive you. I promise I’ll even go wherever she is and plead on your behalf. It’s clear, we were friends before she even became your girlfriend.”
“Sadie, it’ll be difficult for me to say that. Please.”
“If it’s difficult, then I can’t help you, I am sorry,” and just then, Justin entered my room and saw that I was still on the call and he stood and watched me.
“Wouldn’t that destroy my marriage?” he asked sadly.
“I said I’ll plead on your behalf. Are you at home?” I asked.
“No. I can’t go home right now, and even the contract for my company that I went for failed because of my poor presentation, causing my company to lose the deal. It’s all my fault. I couldn’t concentrate as I was thinking about what has happened to me and my family.” He fell silent for a few seconds.
“I’m sorry, I can’t do what you said. You should be apologizing to me for trying to use me, Paul.”
“Please, please,” he kept pleading, but for me, it was unrealistic, so I remained silent and waited for him to end the call. When he wasn't willing to end it, I ended it myself, and I don't even know how I reacted when I hung up.
“Who is begging you, and what does he want?” Justin asked.
“Darling, you wouldn’t understand.” I called him a sweet name to divert his attention and walked closer to him, rubbing his chest.
“Who… is that person? I saw that you were angry with him.” He unzipped my gown and made an attempt to make love with me, but then he stopped half way.
“What are you doing? Why did you stop?”
It’s clear that every time he caressed my private area, I would be the one wanting more of him.
“Justin, what’s happening?” I asked again when he wasn’t ready to continue. All I wanted was for him to continue what he had started.
“Who was on the phone with you?”
“Are you trying to manipulate me? What if I didn’t tell you?”
“Then I will leave,” he said, looking at me, but my expression wasn’t friendly, so he quickly retracted his words and said,
“I just want to be part of your life. Whatever happens to you affects me. I want to protect you always and be there for you. I noticed the way you ended that call, and it didn’t sit well with me. Sadie,” he lifted my chin so that I could look into his eyes and added,
“Let me be part of your life. I want to be there for you.” His voice softened, and it struck me so deeply that I couldn’t refuse his request.
“Okay, I’ll tell you,” and I was still naked as I said that. Just as I was about to compose myself to tell him everything, we heard a knock on the door. We were surprised because we didn’t even hear the sound of a car.
“Who could that be?” I wondered, and if it’s Sadie, I needed to quickly put on my gown.
“Let me go and check,” he said, and I quickly replied,
“What if it’s Sadie?”
“What does that mean?” he asked, and then I pointed at his trousers, where his arousal was quite evident.
“Did you see that? How are you going to explain it?” I chuckled, and at the same time, I covered my mouth to stifle my laughter.
“Let me go. You go to your room,” and we heard another knock on the door. Justin left my room and went to his room, while I quickly put on my gown without a bra and went to the living room to open the door.
“Sadie!” Eric sounded so cheerful as I opened the door, and he looked at me from head to toe, smiling. Before I could even hold the door, he came inside, and I had no reason to stop him. He was Justin’s younger brother, and since no one knew about my relationship with Justin, he seemed to have more authority than me. I was still staring at him when he asked,
“Is anyone inside?”
“Yes, Mr. Justin.”
“Hmm…” He hummed, trying to flirt with me by reaching out my hand. I noticed his eyes were on my breasts as my nipples pushed against my gown.
“Let me go and call your brother,” I said, gently moving backward.
“Don’t worry, I came here because of you. Sadie told me you were here. You know, tomorrow is our date.”
“Date?” I snapped.
“You promised me, Sadie. Have you forgotten? So when I talked to Sadie, she said that if that’s the case, after our date tomorrow, I should bring you to her mom’s place. She gave me your number, and I’ve been trying to call, but it wouldn’t go through.”
“Are you sure? You can try again.” I suggested, and he took out his phone and dialed my number. Then It started ringing. I shrugged and said,
“Can we talk on the phone? As you can see, I was busy inside.”
“No, no. I enjoy looking at your beautiful face,” he replied, blocking my way in a polite manner.
“What are you trying to do? Are you stopping me?”
“No, I’m guiding you.”
“No, you’re not guiding me. You’re about to embarrass me. I was about to take a bath when you arrived…”
“Yes, I can see it. You’ve already taken off your underwear. Sadie, I can’t control myself anymore, I need to confess this to you.” He grabbed my right wrist, trying to overpower me from going inside, and I could see the change in his eyes and his restlessness. Was he trying to assault me? That was my first thought.
“Tell me anything, I’ll do it,” he said, feeling his grip on my hand lacking passion, and I could sense his desperation. Just as I was about to free myself from his grasp, he held onto me again, trying to overpower me and pull me closer to his chest, when out of nowhere, I didn’t realize I had raised my voice.
“What’s happening here?” Justin shouted. Eric quickly let go of my hand, and I ran and stood behind Justin.
“It’s not what you think, Justin. We were just playing.” There was silence at first and he added, “Sa
die, am I lying?” Eric asked, forcing a smile.
