Chapter 5

The hours between their last conversation and the next time Ellen arrived at The Clark Hotel went just as she had been expecting them – a real break up. Although it was true that she and Natasha hadn’t really been in a relationship, Ellen had been preparing herself for a break up almost since she met Natasha. The other woman was so spectacular that there was no way she wasn’t going to break up Ellen’s heart. So after the terrifying conversation they had, Ellen went home, expecting to cry until she fell asleep. Instead, she found Natasha’s sweet and smiling face increasingly distracting – she had actually offered a kiss and Ellen denied it. The thought was so strange. After finally falling asleep, Ellen had a restless morning, Natasha appeared in her dreams constantly, and now she wasn’t sure if it was product of her wild emotions or if it that was something the supernatural woman was genuinely able to do.

She continued to experience her heart break in usual young woman fashion.

Turns out that the frightened woman who had almost caught Natasha the night prior talked to Mr. Clark about the brave security guard who ran after the mysterious individual that had attacked her. She enjoyed the praise, but Ellen was nervous about explaining to her boss what had happened after that incident. To her surprise, Mr. Clark didn’t want to know anything. He thanked her for her dedication, told her to keep an eye out that night and let her go without anything else left to add. It wasn’t until a few minutes after leaving his office that Ellen remembered… he’s literally Natasha’s father.

The realization hit her like a truck. It was so confusing. Would it be good or bad that she was in love with her boss’s daughter? Wait, she wasn’t in love, Ellen tried to convince herself. She was so frustrated with her own mind for being so agitated that night. It made her
