247 Hovering On The Edge!

~Quezon City~

Catherine was wondering why John forgot to call her last night before sleeping and then this morning she has not received a single text from him. She was wondering why?

Last night, she had been thinking well about her decision to marry John early than wait for six months. She has been weighing the pros and cons of her decision. In spite of knowing that he was meeting other women behind her back, she still loves him very much. He heart failed to nurture the growing hate she felt for him, it just died a natural death, her treacherous heart even continues loving and beating for him every day. It's no use going against the beating of her heart, she will be the one suffering the most because she had everything to lose in the end.

This morning she'd already arrived at a final decision, she will finally marry John next week as early as possible! She already signed the renewed Marriage License Application, the next thing to do is to submit it to the Judge's office so that their civil wedding can be scheduled anytime next week.

She will go to the Jade Tower this afternoon to surprise him and tell him her final decision! No hesitation and no doubts, she wanted to be Mrs. Roxas for real, ASAP!

She entered the bathroom and took a shower, while inside the shower she felt like vomiting.

She finished her bath without further mishap.

After changing into to dry clothes, she switched on the electric stove and heated the frying pan, then add oil. She will cook creamy scrambled egg today for her breakfast, then she will put the scrambled egg in her sliced bread.

After a few minutes of cooking, she's done. She immediately spreads the egg into the sliced bread and sank her teeth into it, a few minutes later she feels like she wanted to vomit again, she runs into the sink and vomited all the food she had eaten this morning.

Then she went into the toilet to pee, lately, she noticed that she frequently visited the toilet to pee. Is she sick? Then sometimes she feels dizziness.

What's happening to her body? If this goes on she would go to a clinic one of these days and have a general check-up.

For now, she needs to perform her job downstairs because she will be going to Makati City later to surprise John. She smiled to herself, he would be very happy to know that she was now willing to marry him as early as possible!

She will sleep tonight in his flat beside him in his bed. She already missed his masculine scent, she missed cuddling with him.

She went inside her room and cleaned herself and change into a pink blouse and brown slacks. She exited her room and was heading downstairs, on the way down she felt a sudden wave of dizziness assaulting her senses, she sat down on one of the stairs and rested for a while.

A few moments later, she was beginning to feel better. She resumed her duties to the stores.

John reported to work and summoned Romeo to his office immediately.

"Bro, what's up with your date with Ella last night?" asked Romeo grinning.

John throws his buddy a dark look. "Ella didn't go home last night, she swims all night long in my swimming pool and sleep in the guest room," said John.

Romeo's eyes were about to pop out from its socket. "What the fuck?! So, nothing happens with the two of you, bro? I'm thoroughly impressed with your strong self-control, knowing that both of you were single," he commented, joking in a malicious manner, this Ella woman was surely the bomb thing! said Romeo to himself.

John would like very much to smack hard Romeo's head. "That woman is a manipulative bitch!" he said between gritted teeth.

"OMG!" Romeo was about to smile further amused with the whole situation but he stops now when he saw the anger in his buddy's face.

"I want you to go inside my flat right now and drag that woman outside! Come with me!" said John in an angry voice.

Oh God! John is angry now! Romeo knows he fucked up this time. He followed his buddy into the elevator, and a few minutes later, they went inside John's flat.

"That vile woman was in the swimming pool right now swimming like a fucking mermaid without a tail! Get her out of my house!" ordered John.

"Okay, I will. Please calm down bro!" said Romeo. He hurriedly walked towards the pool area and entered the room. He saw Ella swimming in the pool wearing a sexy swimsuit, he was literally drooling because she possesses a sexy gorgeous body, much sexier than his wife's body. OMG! The temperature of his body suddenly rises high like a live wire!

The sexy woman turned her head and saw Romeo.

"Yo! Romeo!" said Ella cheerfully, waving at him and smiling.

He walked towards the pool, trying hard not to ogle at her yummy body.

"Ella dearest, can you please go home now? The owner John is very angry, he will fire me from my job if you won't leave his house at this very moment," Romeo pleaded.

Ella pouted in a petulant manner. "No. I won't go home, not yet. I already told John I will go home at 6:00 PM later, my chauffeur will fetch me at 6:00 tonight, so I might as well keep swimming while waiting for his arrival. What's the rush?"

She rolled her eyes like a high and mighty diva at Romeo.

Romeo groaned and sighed. This woman indeed gives John an enormous headache!

"Don't force me to go home, Romeo, I will go home only when I feel like it, if you force me I will get angry and I will sue you and John with sexual harassment!" her voiced was threatening.

Romeo froze...his eyes widen. OMG! Fuck! he groaned in exasperation. This is getting out of hand already.

"So, dear...you will go home at 6:00 PM, promised?" he asked her in a gentle voice.

She nodded her head. "I will...promised!" she answered.

Romeo feels relieved. "Okay, enjoy swimming Ella, see you later."

He walked back towards the door and exited the room. John was waiting for Romeo in the living room.

"I'm sorry bro, she refused to go home, I can't force her. But she promised me that she will go home at 6:00 PM, so for the meantime, we will just tolerate her presence for a while," said Romeo.

John sighed.

"No problem, as long she will go home at 6:00 tonight, 'coz if she refused again, you will have to find a way how to drag her out from my residence," said John.

"Okay, I will find a way how to solve this problem," Romeo said.

They walked back to the door and back to their respective offices.

...

In the swimming pool area...

Ella continues frolicking in the pool, a cunning smile tugging at her lips.
