If there was any way anyone could get humiliated enough nst this situation It was to have a broken car, she was drunk, reckless and stupid and perhaps this was life trying to teach her a bitter lesson about all of this, the more she thought about it the more ridiculous or felt for her.
Should she just go back and ask for his assistance?
She thought about it, but yet again she was starting to feel that array of anger and pride again.
“Never!”She mutters to herself and drops her hand frustrated.
She was nervous, terrified, determined to keep some spaces while she fixed her car with her gaze constantly going back to where the door was
If there was one constant thought that had filled her mind all evening it was the possibility of his hands on her, she could feel all of it constantly dancing along her skin as she got out of the car.
She grabbed her bag from the backseat, and checked her phone for service… All jammed.
She swallowed when she heard the door ahead with an unmistakable click. She
was still in shock about this turn of events and didn’t know how to handle it as she looked up-
Christian walking out could see the car perfectly parked outside waiting, he was going to step ast her and leave the Vicinity but on second note he stopped to check up on her , it was obvious she was in distress and was trying to get her car moving.
He stopped a few steps away from where she was.”Are you fine?”
She was wondering to herself why he wouldn’t just leave, she hated the fact that he was snooping around the premises acting as though he cared.
Or perhaps he did and she was too blind to see it.
All drunk Laura alighted from the car again, this time she tried fixing the car that was giving her so much trouble ignoring his question, he was going to leave … He thought trying to engage her was a waste of precious time.
He had taken the first few steps and was about stepping back to his own space, when he stopped right on his track.
It would be crazy for him to leave her standing right there, she was the mother of his children no matter what circumstances lead to that.
“You know I can deal with you not being rude, I am just trying to help.”He muttered.
“And I can deal with you minding your business.”She said without looking him deep in his eyes as she hoped he would leave.
Perhaps she realizes that she was saying too much, blames it on the drink as she shakes her head before letting out a deep sigh.
“What do you even want.?”This time there was a more pitiful edge to her voice.
He stepped closer.”, I just want to help, it has been what I have been trying to do ever since, why not just let me, I am not going to hurt you or anything, it is just me trying to help you in any way possible.”
She sighed.”, I don’t want any trouble with Tonia.”
He looks over her head and behind dramatically.”Well, I can’t find her anywhere…”
Laura bit her lips and at the last moment stepped away, it felt ridiculous that she was letting him do this but he was Christian, she would let him do anything.
It was all futile, so she knew he had to drop her… It had been twenty good minutes of him trying to fix her car and it had ended all bad with the ignition not still coming on.
He wipes his hand with a napkin.”That is it, I feel we need to find another alternative, your car needs proper attention.”
She sighed.”I’d have someone come check on it, for the meantime I’d book a ride.”
It felt quite ridiculous that she was saying that, he looked back at her this time the look on his face was very questionable.
“, Or you can just hop into the car with me, it is safer with me?”Chris suggested.
Safer? It felt like the most inappropriate words to describe what was going to happen, getting into the car with him could mean so many things but definitely not safe.
She could remember that last time she had done this and how it had almost turned out, still it was hard to control any of everything that was happening.
“Fine, but don’t try anything funny.”She finally agrees.
*****
It all started like any other ride, only this time they acted like two strangers finding it a bit awkward to speak to each other, she didn’t know what to say or how it would be best for her to make the situation more understandable but still it felt ridiculous.
It was silent . In fact, the quiet seemed to engulf everything that held breath in the car space during the entire drive. And the worst thing about it was the fact that she was so close to the same man that she should be getting away from.
The events of the day hit the heck of her mind, she was having that feeling of numbness that it left behind as she frequently masked herself questions- why was she feeling this way?
It was questioned that only his masculine scent seemed to penetrate. Instead of the prickling
feeling of panic, his closeness brought just one thought that was driving her insane and that was how it would feel to have his hands on her
It was like her mind was focused on the most
primal aspect of her deepest cravings, it was like she was left traumatized by it.
The feelings were so much that she remained only numb, as the warmth hummed between her legs.
Maybe it was a bad idea anyway, she thought to herself as she couldn’t resist the urge that was filling her up from deep in her soul… Could it be the drink?
As his phone clock ticked, he became aware of how tensed everything was, it was as though Ice clinked in a tumbler glass, around him was a feeling of lust and anxiety that had refused to depart as it m hung in the air.
He shouldn’t have done this, it was the second time all of this was happening and it was starting to seem more or less like a type of Madness.
He knew without doubts that he had to do something and as though he had to do it very fast.
He drives faster, his attention all glued to the road as he drives … in a way, a certain distaste emanated from Laura sitting beside him as it felt like she wasn’t comfortable with all of this herself.
He occupied the chair, leaning back with one elbow and steering the wheel with the other. He was pretty sure about what could be going on through her mind but there wasn’t much he could do to stop it.
He wasn’t sure how long they’d been in this car remaining silent, while she pressed her phone but it felt eternity, he had that feeling that she waa trying so hard not to utter a word-
But something was building, and it wasn’t from him. Truthfully, he enjoyed the atmosphere. It gave him time to reflect on so many things, especially this feeling of temptation.
on the ordinary he could survive on tense, awkward silences alone..
“You can’t have her thinking we planned this so it is best you drop me away from the house .”The words cut the quiet like a knife through the air- It was the first word she was speaking all evening and she said that?
He chuckled, it was easy to understand her comment but to have her feeling all scared?
His gaze found Laura’s through a haze of confusion and anxiety that was drifting into the car creating more unrest.
“You are not scared of Antonia now or are you?”
She let out a sardonic breath, shaking her head.”Cut the shit, Chris. I know you are aware of what I am talking about, I don’t want you lurking around her.”
His jaw ticked. He did not like being told, he locked eyes with her and this time he was feeling more and more intense.
He stops the car abruptly, he shouldn’t be doing this he thought to himself against but he was fat because perhaps they were fighting the same foe.
“Why did you stop, are you crazy?”She looks around.
“Yes, I stopped the car and won’t start it again till you tell me what all this is about… why are you acting this way?”
She couldn’t get herself to think at the moment, but really he shouldn’t be doing this, not when her body felt so heated up.
Not when she was at the verge of doing something crazy!
