Blackmailed For Love

I woke up with a start, my pulse hammering and Iny heart feeling caged and close to bursting, I was covered in sweat and I still tell the phantom lingers of the past.

I swear I could smell his scent, the way his body had felt and how he had made my birthday the most special but also I had managed to hurt him by my stupidity.

lle had been so angry the next day, Ile hadn't talked to me for almost two days, though we had spend time with each other but he had kept his distance and I had realized how much of an idiot I was.

I hadn't considered him, just following what my heart and mind decided to have.

I had apologized to him and because he had alwnys believed me, because he had been too soft where I was concerned he had forgiven me..

I looked at the digital clock on the wall and realized I still have some time before i had to wake up so I went back to sleep hoping that he wouldn't visit me again and yet also wanting him back the way he used to be even if only in dreams, I slept late, And my phone was switched off.

By the time I came out of the shower and woke Anna up, I was sure he would be banging on my door.

But nothing like that happened which only made me more anxious.

I busied myself by helping Anna to brush her teeth and wash her face cven though she was adamant that she knew how to do those things on her own.

But soon she will be older and I would miss all these small things so even as my daughter tried to shrug off my help I did to make my heart feel better.

I made a call to Bianca and thankfully she was already in the apartment building and told me she will be up in ten minutes.

I quickly made a veg sandwich and placed a glass of milk on the kitchen counter for my daughter to have her breakfast, I ate my yoghurt or more like inhaled it in my hurry.

And at last 1 made my way back to my bedroom and switched on my phone, afraid of what I would find.

There were three messages and that were enough to tell me, that the punishment I had been saved from last night would be coming back with a vengeance.

"It's sucking nine o'clock, where are you?"

"Where the fuck are you?"

"I WILL BE WAITING IN THE OFFICE."

And that last message had me shivering in fear.

Puck.

Why? Why did I have to go back to sleep, it's never a good idea.

Damn it! The doorbell rang then announcing, Bianca's arrival but still I checked through the peephole and then opened the door.

"Come on, Anna, Bianca is here."

Anna came running out with a small backpack that I had prepared for her.
