Chapter 20 Time To Get Away

Book:Gamble With My Heart Published:2024-5-1

It’s been a week since Skye is back. We have come to quite a comfortable routine. We are three days at her place and then three days at mine and one day just for our own personal time. I must say it is working well for me, I think. At least we have not had one fight yet and we do not want to kill each other, yet. It is like honeymoon bliss. But and there is always that but, is it maybe too much too soon?
But this morning I have received a message from Tajsa. She was in hospital, she had a nervous breakdown. That very night we had that horrible fight, she totally collapsed outside the building in the street. She has been put in some resort kind of a place for twenty one days. I want to tell Skye but I am scared of how she is going to react.
Damon ~”Baby.”
Skye ~”Yes Damie.”
Yes she calls me Damie, I think it is absolutely cute just like me.
Damon ~”I want to tell you something.”
Skye ~”What did you and Max do?”
Damon ~”He tore up your slippers that I gave him to play with.”
Skye ~”Why did you give him my slippers to play with?”
Damon ~”He looked bored. But that is not what I want to tell you.”
Skye ~”Okay Mr Chase, out with it.”
She calls me Mr Chase when she is being very serious or at least when she tries to be. I tell her about Tajsa and she seems like she is taking it well. But she has a very good game face, I know because I always loose at the card games.
Skye ~”What do you want to do?”
Damon ~”I just want to phone her to ask if she is okay and if she needs anything.”
Skye ~”That is fine but don’t be too long, we need to pack.”
We all are going to Brody’s mom’s cabin for the long holiday weekend. She has been looking forward to it for the past few days now and I don’t want to do anything to spoil it especially with bringing up Tajsa.
Damon ~”Okay I will pack first then I will phone.”
Skye ~”Have you ever been at the cabin?”
Damon ~”Only as kids, but as we got older it got too boring for us.”
Skye ~”I hear that Joelle is bringing a friend with.”
Damon ~”Shame, I feel so shit for Mason, the poor guy just can’t land a decent girl.”
Skye ~”Maybe you guys should make a bet again.”
Damon ~”You are a real clown today.”
Skye ~”And you better take that back.”
Damon ~”Or what.”
Skye ~”Call me a clown and you will see.”
Damon ~”You are such a clown.”
She tries to punch me on the arm like she always does but I grab her tight around the waist.
Damon ~”Why don’t you just not rather kiss me?”
Then we are kissing like crazy. Like our lives depend on it. My tongue slip inside her mouth, gentle but demanding, and it’s nothing like I’ve ever experienced, every square inch of my body dissolves into hers. Her fingers grip my hair, pulling me closer. My veins throb and my heart explodes. I have never wanted anyone like this before.
I push her backward into the wall, I feel her, all of her, pressed against me, I feel my cock throb against her thighs, my heart is beating through my sculpted chest, her warm breath is lingering on my skin. I want to breathe her, lick her, eat her, drink her, and taste her. She feels fucking amazing. My hands are everywhere, and it doesn’t matter, I want her just closer and closer to me.
Then the damn doorbell buzzes.
Damon ~”Fuck it is Brody.”
Skye ~”Shit and you have not packed.”
Damon ~”Please will you do it for me? I will go get the front door.”
Skye ~”Only cause you said please.”
I run to get the door before he buzzes for the fifth time. Brody is by far the most impatient person I have met.
Damon ~”Do you not know what patience is?”
Brody ~”Where is the bags, let’s go!”
Joelle ~”Hey Damon.”
Damon ~”Did he drink too much coffee again?”
Joelle ~”He has been up since four, he is driving me insane.”
Fuck talking about insane, I forgot to phone Tajsa. Not that she is insane. She is sick, I don’t even know if what she has got is an illness. But all I know is that she is not feeling well.
Damon ~”Skye is in the room packing my bag. I just need to go make a quick call.”
I go into the study where I will have some more privacy. I don’t know if I should do this? Even though we said all those things to each other, I still consider her as my friend. We have had many big fights before, I mean you don’t just throw away ten years.
I dial her number.
Tajsa ~”Damon, I am so glad you phoned back.”
Damon ~”Hey Tajsa, how are you?”
Tajsa ~”I am feeling a lot better than I did a week ago.”
Damon ~”Is it okay there? Is there anything that you need?”
Tajsa ~”It is nice and peaceful. It gives you a lot of time to think. It made me realise that I need to apologise to you, I did not mean those things I said.”
Damon ~”Babe, don’t apologise, I understand. It is my fault, I should not have put so much pressure on you.”
Tajsa ~”Still, I was totally out of line.”
Damon ~”Can I ask you a question?”
Tajsa ~”Please, I want to talk it out.”
Damon ~”Why did you lie to me? Why did you call it off before I did?”
Tajsa ~”There is a part of me that knew I could never measure up to Skye. That you will never feel about me that way. But then two weeks without you made me realise that I made a big mistake.”
Damon ~”Oh Tajsa, you should have told me.”
Tajsa ~”What difference would that have made?”
Damon ~”For one, we would have never had that fight.”
Tajsa ~”I just want you to know that I am sorry.”
Damon ~”Send me the details of the place, I will make a plan to come see you.”
Tajsa ~”Thanks Damon.”
Damon ~”Look after yourself, I will phone you tomorrow again.”
I drop the call and put my phone down on the table to wipe the tears that is building up inky eyes. Yes I told Skye I am only going to phone her once but I think that is not a promise I am going to keep not because I am being an asshole but because I care.
Brody comes walking into the study, catching me as I wipe my eyes.
Brody ~”Damn Bro, are you two fighting?”
I tell him about Tajsa.
Brody ~”Fuck man, when are you talking to her again?”
Damon ~”Tomorrow.”
Brody ~”Well send her my love and tell her I am sorry.”
He gives me one of his best man hugs and reassures me that everything is going to be okay. Tajsa is strong, if someone can beat this then it is her.
Damon ~”We better get out there before the girls start to wonder.”
Brody ~”We got to get going, Mason just got here.”
I feel completely drained now. I don’t even want to do this anymore. Skye won’t understand this, she won’t understand why I want to phone her. Maybe she will, I just don’t want to upset her, the last thing I want is for her to leave me again. When did everything become such a mess? It is that damn bet, how I wish that we never made it. If I was meant to meet Skye then we would have met the normal way. And Tajsa would not be broken right now, locked up in some stupid place telling her how to think.
I take the bottle of whiskey on the table and smash it against the wall.
Skye ~”What the fuck is going on in here?”
Brody ~”Skye just give him a minute, he just got off the phone with Tajsa.”
Skye ~”Okay, we busy loading the car now.”
She disappears and so does Brody. I take my phone out my pocket and start typing a text to Tajsa
Damon ~”Babe please get out of there, it is breaking my heart. I am thinking off you. Love. Damon.”
I go back up to my room to change out of my whiskey soaked clothes.
Skye comes walking into the room.
Skye ~”Brody wants to leave.”
Damon ~”Yes I am coming, I just wanted to change.”
Skye ~”Are you okay?”
Damon ~”Yes, please don’t worry, I am fine.”
We head downstairs, I lock everything up and meet the group at the car. My mood has officially gone from happy to completely sour. Yes so damn what, I am worried about Tajsa.
Joelle ~”Guys this is Alexa.”
Alexa ~”Hey everyone.”
Damon ~”Hey Alexa, it is good to have one more friendly face.”
Brody ~”Now what do you say we hit this damn road.”
Mason ~”Yes, here we come bitches.”
Damon ~”You sound like those girls at the club now.”
Brody ~”He has been spending too much time around them.”
Mason ~”Hey I have not been there in a week.”
Damon ~”Well you better off without them.”
Then my phone buzzes.
It is Tajsa.
Tajsa ~”I promise when I am ready then you can come fetch me. Love ya. Tajsa.”
I look at Skye as I put my phone back into my pocket. I can see that her concern is now turning into annoyance. As soon as we get to the cabin then I will speak to her.
Joelle ~”So what do you do at this place?”
Brody ~”Swim, drink, swim, drink and then drink some more.”
Alexa ~”Sounds like my kind of a place.”
Joelle ~”It sounds like a constant hangover.”
Brody ~”Do you know the best way to get rid of a hangover?”
Joelle ~”Just drink again.”
Brody ~”You catch on quick baby.”
Did Brody just say baby? I think he did, in fact he did. Has he finally met the right girl, he so deserves it? I think a part of him wants to be done with his player days especially with his mom being in two minds in handing the company over to him. The last time she told him he must grow up first. Well I think he might have just did.
As for Mason, well the poor man is lost. He really set his heart on Tajsa, but I don’t think that outburst of her even remotely scared him off. He is going to be devastated when he hears about her. As for all these girls that everybody tries to set him up with, the man is just not interested. Can they not see that they wasting their time? As for the new one, Alexa, well I am sorry to say but the girl looks a bit, loose.
Then you get me. Confused as fuck for most of my life. I’d like to say that I am maturing but hell some days, some days I am a complete immature asshole. I will admit the last two months I have been like an energiser bunny chasing my own ass. I don’t know what I am trying to do with my life but I am definitely not doing it well. I got Skye and I should focus on her, I want her as my life partner. And Tajsa, I just want us to go back to being friends.
I pull Skye closer, I need to give her an apology.
Damon ~”Baby.”
Skye ~”Yes Damon?”
Ya, she is mad.
Damon ~”I am sorry for being so short with you earlier.”
Skye ~”I don’t like when you talk to me like that. I did nothing wrong.”
Damon ~”I know baby. I was upset and I took it out on you. I should not have done that.”
Skye ~”I understand you worried about Tajsa. But next time if you cross rather just don’t talk to me than being rude.”
Damon ~”I will remember that. Please can I ask you a favour?”
Skye ~”Of course.”
Damon ~”Will you mind if I phone Tajsa more often while she is in there?”
Skye ~”Baby you don’t have to ask me, all I ask is that you won’t hide it away from me.”
Damon ~”I promise I will tell you if I phone her. Baby she is my friend, I do not want to lose that.”
Skye ~”I understand, now let’s enjoy our weekend.”
She is by far the most special person I have ever met. In such a short amount of time she has really crawled underneath my skin. It’s like she not only lives in her own but she lives in mine too. I might say that we spending too much time together but truth to be told, I am restless without her. Hey we are still young and we are still learning. We don’t always act like adults. There is no reason to put yourself in a thirty four year old body when you can be twenty four.
After another hour of my own inner ramblings, we finally stop at the cabin.
I forgot how beautiful it is out here.
Skye ~”Oh my god Damie this is gorgeous.”
Damon ~”Told you that you are going to like it.”
Brody ~”I call dibs on the main bedroom.”
Damon ~”We are taking the one with the shower.”
Mason ~”Guess we left with the one with the small bath or the one with the big bed.”
Alexa ~”I will go for big bed.”
Mason ~”It’s me and the small bath then.”
The girls carry the supplies in while us boys offload and take all the suitcases inside.
Brody ~”Drinks at the pool in five minutes.”
Damon ~”Are you going to be our event planner now?”
Mason ~”Well there is not much that he can event.”
Damon ~”Unless if he brings his stupid board games out.”
Brody ~”Oh believe me, I made Joelle pack them.”
Joelle ~”He even had them down on the checklist.”
Damon ~”Don’t tell me you still make checklists?”
Brody ~”How else do you think I know my ass from my head?”
Damon ~”Baby come let’s go change before I slap him.”
We make our way upstairs to the very far side of the cabin where the room is. Skye looks at me with a smile on her face, she knows exactly why I picked this room and not the very first one with the big bed.
Skye ~”Mr Chase, did you think you were going to get lucky?”
Damon ~”I did not think, I know.”
Skye ~”Oh really now, you think I just give in that easy?”
Damon ~”I bet you I can get you to take your clothes off.”
Skye ~”Nah, it is not happening.”
Damon ~”You have to take it off to get your bikini on.”
Skye ~”You sly thing, now you just making me look stupid.”
Damon ~”You said that not me.”
Skye ~”What do you say we do it in a quick five minutes?”
Damon ~”I am not a five minute man but we can try.”
Skye ~”Then get your damn clothes off.”
I curse as I struggle to get my pants off, the second it drops, I am hard and ready to go, and she is laying on the bed just as ready.
Skye ~”Baby please take me.”
The quiet plea is enough to make me shudder. Holding her up by her ass, I dig my fingers deep into her flesh and drive deep into her. I slam hard, struggling for breath, desperately trying to hold onto my crumbling restraint. There is nothing controlled about this. My chinrests on her shoulder as my hips drive hard, my cock furiously thrusting into her tight pussy, over and over again.
I am fucking her hard, and I hate to say it, but it feels amazing. I plunder her body, and she nearly falls apart. She throws her head back and tremble in orgasm. My heart stops and my body burns. The hot waves of pleasure starts deep in my groin and shoots out in every direction, turning my limbs to jelly and my mind to mush.
I drop down next to her onto the bed and we stare at each other.
Skye ~”Do you think it was five?”
Damon ~”No I think it was ten.”
We get into our swimwear and make our way down to the pool.
This is the perfect start to a great weekend.
