Ella's Return
Thessela keeps a close watch on Ella and how her colleague seems distracted for the first hour or so each day before a phone call that seems to change her.
Each day, just after morning coffee break, a call to Ella's mobile phone and a furtive walk back from the rest room. On Thursday Thessela guesses that her colleague has removed her panties again. On Friday Thessela thinks Ella's blouse hangs a little differently over the young woman's breasts and she knows Ella removed her bra too. It has Thessela thinking; the phone calls, Ella's immediate response and the change in her.
But Ella's supervisor notices something more about the young woman she supervises. Each day, after Ella returns from the rest room, the young woman has something different on her left wrist. A watch with a wide leather band, tightly buckled one day, a braided leather loop, snug enough to leave a red imprint of the braid pattern, the next.
These are barely noticeable, quite discrete, and would be missed by a casual observer. But, to Ella, each is a symbol of his control over her.
Thessela curiosity is burning and, at lunch she tries to broach things with Ella. "You saw him again a few nights ago Ella. Didn't you? That man you met before your holiday. The one I heard you calling the other day."
"Why do you ask Thess?"
"There is something so different about you Ella. There was something there after you first met him, before you went on holiday, but now it seems much stronger. You seem so distracted each morning then you get a phone call and everything changes. You sneak off to the restroom and, well, I know you.."
Ella feels warmth rise through her face and she knows that she is blushing.
"Not now Thess. After work. Can we have a drink? I am not sure I can explain or whether I really want to but, just between us?"
"Sure Ella. I just..I am not sure...need to understand something. That's all."
Then Ella's mobile rings. She glances at the number and apologises. "Sorry Thess, I need to get this," as she darts back to the safety of her desk.
"Yes Pp? The weekend? I think.." she hesitates, then "Yes Pp. I will be free."
"Yes Pp. I know that I am not to touch myself. I was too weak last time. I have learned that lesson."
"I do Pp. Yes, it still fits. But why?"
"Sorry Pp. It is not my place to ask why. Saturday."
Ella is puzzled at his final request but that does not affect her decision.
She knew when he called that her decision was already made.
