Daddy’s Hot Sauce

The next day, Emily was surprised at how she went to bed that easily. She caressed her forehead as she remembered lying on the couch while waiting for Anders and was expecting him to make her awake to prepare for something for his food, but she could not even remember anything at all after that.

“Okay, I have to make his breakfast first and when he left, I will do my routine,”

Emily opened the door and smelt the appetizing food that made her stomach growled and made her eyes widened as she was supposed to be the one who would make the breakfast for him.

She ran straight to the kitchen and saw Anders was busy preparing his breakfast.

“You’re late,”

Emily did not utter a word instead she walked beside him and waited for his command.

Anders broke the silent between them and said, “You should not wait for me,”

Emily suddenly remembered about last night on how she waited on him ’till she fell asleep.

“Uh- I was actually watching my favorite tv series and then I fell asleep,” she said and plastered a smile on him while staring at every movement he had while cooking the food.

Ander turned down the fire and served it on the plate. Then, he garnished it with a sauce and some spices to add color and flavor of the food.

“Sit down,” Anders said with an authoritative tone.

Emily sat on the stool at the counter area and was curious about the food. Then, she was surprised as Anders put the spoon on the plate and served it in front of her.

“Taste it,”

Emily was grateful to try it so she did not utter any word and obeyed him, and after chewing the first bite, a smile was now on her face. Happiness on trying a new food made her heart happy all at once.

“This food is really good,”

“I know,” he seriously said and turned.

“I think you should put this in the menu of your restaurant, this will sure a hit to the customers,”

Anders did not answer instead just shrugged his shoulders and finished all the food and was about to get out of the kitchen, when he finally looked at Emily and said,

“Be ready at one in the afternoon,”

“Wait? 1pm? Why?” she continuously asked him but Anders did not mind it anymore.

She looked at him climbing up the stairs without a word from Emily.

Then, Emily finished off the dishes and was wondering where they would go this afternoon. She has totally no idea about it, and then she turned and went to her room to prepare her clothes but when she looked at her clothes, a dress with floral print caught her attention and decided to wear it later.

Anders was now in the living room and waiting for Emily to come out, he was shaking his head while staring at the clock. It was passed one in the afternoon and he did not like it this way. He hates being late.

“I’m sorry for being late, the heater in the bathroom was broken so I tried to fix it but it was totally dead-”

Emily lifted her sight to Anders who was wearing a simple white tee and board shorts in dark hue. She stared at him like he was a famous celebrity in Hollywood, and that made her eyes pinned on his leaned muscles and could not imagine that he had a hot night with him.

She pulled back and walked confidently toward him, “I-I’m sorry for wearing this, I have no other option ’cause I only got a few clothes here,” then a sparingly smile on her face.

She felt mortified while staring at her dress as it was not perfect for the place that they would be gone to.

Anders lightly shook his head while staring at Emily from head to toe, he could not believe that she was wearing that dress that was not appropriate to the place they might go for now. He sighed and grabbed her hand and went to the elevator.

While at the road Anders felt annoyed by the traffic jam that they had been into. Today was Friday and it was obvious that many people were out of their homes just to enjoy the day. Besides, it was also a holiday and people were busy on the street.

“What the fuck is going on?! We’re stuck!” he exclaimed and even gestured his hand at the road.

Emily was surprised by his words and quite frightened by him, “It’s holiday today, people were busy going out and to enjoy the day,”

Emily was trying to make him calm at this moment so she could make it less for him about his temper. It was the first time for her to see him like this. She knew that he was short tempered but reacting to this kind of situation was way too much.

Anders kept on honking his car which was annoying for other riders, so the other driver in front of them got out of his car and went to the car of Anders and Emily.

Then, after almost an hour of waiting, they finally escaped the road and went straight to the main highway.

Anders finally relieved about the situation ’cause with that situation he could not even help himself especially his patience was not as long as anyone. He heaved out a sigh and glimpsed at Emily, who was resting her back and comfortably sleeping.

But his sight went down to her dress that was revealing her breast, Anders swallowed after seeing it so he stopped his car a while at the side of the road and grabbed his scarf and put it on top of her, then he gently adjusted the seat of his car and drove once again.

After a long drive Anders parked his car on the other side of the road and the view was a nice appearance of the hills and trees that was making the surroundings attractive to tourists especially if they want a view like this.

“Emily,” he lightly tapped her shoulders and saw her whimper like a child.

He smiled after seeing it and tapped her gently once again. “We’re here, Emily,”

Then, he stopped as Emily slowly opened her eyes.

“Where are we?” she curiously asked.

“Come out and you’ll find out,” he seriously said and went out of the car.

Emily was not yet on herself she stared for a while and yawned after seeing Ander went out to his car. She roamed her eyes and saw the beautiful scenery that was familiar to her.

“Wait, Is this-” she covered her mouth and could not even utter words as she left the car.

Not from a far, she saw a figure that was familiar to her. her tears were pooling on her and said,

“Mike!”

A smile was now on her face, she could not even think that this would happen, seeing Mike and wondered if he was fine or not.

She hugged her as she missed her friend, for her Mike was not just a friend but a brother to her. The thing that she could always rely on him at any time. Mike was the one who was always at her back, who helped him in times she needed to.

“How are you?” she looked at him closely and made sure that she would check on him and Emily felt relieved as she was seeing him fine and not having injury at all.

“I’m always fine, Emily,” Mike answered but his sight was gazing at Anders who was staring at him for a moment.

“You should not be here, I told you I can pay you a visit if you want me to,” Mike continued and smiled at Emily.

Emily, out of her consciousness, put her arm on Mike’s arm and walked together through the fields.

“Mike, why are you here? I mean you are my father’s most trusted employees in the company, so, why are you up here?” she curiously asked while they were walking together.

Mike just plastered a smile but felt unease as Anders was just on their tails, he looked at Emily and simply answered her question, “I might get back soon, I just need to rest for now,”

Emily held his hands and stopped for a while, “Mike, whenever you need help or someone is trying to hurt you, please tell it to me.”

She looked straight into his eyes and knew that there was something wrong with him that he was not telling to Emily.

Mike did not say anything, instead he shrugged his shoulders and asked her, “Remember our favorite spot here?”

Emily brightened her eyes and nodded her head twice.

“You mean you have our guitar?” she said in full joy was traced on her face and voice.

“Yes, c’mon,” Mike said and pulled her hand to be on their favorite spot.

Before, they often had time for each other, a time to rant and let out their feelings in the place where they would love to stay, but the most therapeutic for Emily was singing while Mike was good at playing his guitar.

Now, a chance for them to do it together and both of them were like a perfect pair.

Anders was surprised by her voice, he did not expect that she sang beyond a doubt. His eyes were pinned on her and it was the first time for him to see her genuine smile. He clenched his fist as he saw them happily with each other. A rage inside of him was rising up, but he had to control himself, so he turned and walked toward the car.

Hours had passed and Emily enjoyed being with her friend and this would surely be part of her memory until she grew old. She waved her hand to him as she was now going back to her hell life and seeing Anders behind her was making her lose hope and the gloomy feeling was now present to her.

“Please, visit me in the town next time,” she said.

“Of course, you’re the only reason that I stayed in the town,” Mike smiled at Emily and felt relief as he saw her doing great with Mr. Winston. “Please, always take care of yourself, Emily, and if he hurt you, call me,”

Then, he made a gesture like a boxer that made Emily laugh even more.

–

A couple of days had passed and Emily got used to being in Anders house, she was doing the chores and being her bed warmer. Emily felt disgusted with herself as she stared at herself in the mirror.

It was three in the morning and Emily was just done with the laundry. The softness of the sheets were making her calm and sleepy, the scent of her room came from essential oils that she really loved.

“Gorgeous,”

A pair of arms suddenly curled around her waist, she froze and gasped as it was sending an electrocuted sensation to her spine. Emily was not in the mood today said by her own brain but her body was disobeying that thought.

Her neck leaned back and let him sniff her entire neck and shoulders. Emily felt the heat of his breath that was damping her skin.

She turned and saw Anders with his naughty eyes and playful smile.

“An-Anders, why are up at this hour-”

Emily opened her mouth at the same time Anders put his finger on her lips and whispered,

“Do we have a schedule for this?”

Then, he leaned closer to her and pressed my lips to the back of her neck and shoulders and curled his body on hers.

Emily whimpered and felt his lips on her skin, but a voice from behind called her out. She whimpered and felt wet in between her thighs.

“Thank goodness it was just a dream,” she whispered and got up for her routine in the morning.

She went out of the room in simple bun hair with a gold yellow V-neck tee shirt. Emily saw his furrowed brows and she knew that he was annoyed ‘because breakfast was not yet ready at this moment.

“Sorry,”

“You are always up late and I am now late for work,” he said annoyingly while staring at her cooking for breakfast.

“Don’t cut it like that!” he exclaimed and quickly went to her. “Cut it this way,”

Emily froze and could not even mutter words, the heat was rising up in her and could not even take a look at him.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Will you listen to me for once, that’s why you never learn,” Anders whispered and went back to the counter and sipped his coffee.

Emily let out a heavy sigh and still did not say any words that would start a long conversation with him, she knew that he hated to be defeated by others, so she stayed quiet at this moment and let him be the king.

When the food was done, she grabbed a plate and put those eggs, hotdog and bacon. But Anders was gone, he left without saying any words for her.

She felt the rage was rising up in her. A fire that was being hidden for weeks. She clenched her fist as she saw a note on the counter table.

George will pick you up by twelve.

“Why? Another mindful game with him? Gosh! No way!”

Then, she turned the note and saw another message.

Don’t try to disobey me and you’ll know what will happen

She sigh after reading the second message from the back of the note card. Then her sight landed on the wall clock in the kitchen. Her eyes widened after seeing the clock that says ten thirty in the morning.

“Shit! I have to be quick,” she mumbled and ate the food on the plate and quickly went to the sink to wash off all the dishes.

Emily was now in a hurry as she needed to clean the kitchen before heading to the bathroom and take a bath.

After almost an hour of cleaning the kitchen, her eyes landed on the clock and saw the time left for her.

“Thirty minutes? Are you serious? Shit!” she mumbled and went upstairs and headed to her room.

Then, without resting herself she dipped herself into the tub in the bathroom and enjoyed a quick bath for fifteen minutes.

Not for long she heard the elevator ding, and she knew it was George; the great assistant of Mr. Anders Winston. Then, she went downstairs while combing her hair and saw George was staring at her from head to toe.

“Let’s go?” she said and smiled at him.
