I killed the engine in the driveway, I turned to Christian, he stretched his hands towards me and his fingers tucked some loose strand of hair behind my ears, he cupped my face and crashed his lips into mine in a kiss that was devouring and ravishing.
It became a habit or maybe just the simple fact that entering into my parents house means we had to keep away from ourselves made us feel that the driveway was the final place we could have each other before we enter into the house and act like we don’t know what each other’s genitals taste like.
He pulled out if the kiss and he just stared at me.
“You’re so beautiful” he said rubbing the pad of his thumb on my bottom lip.
I felt my cheeks heat with a light blush. “Thank you” I told him, he leaned in and kissed me again.
My eyes snapped open when I heard the door open and close, I tapped Christian’s arm but he was neck deep into the kiss and he didn’t want to leave my lips, I pushed him away and turned off the lights.
“What happened?” He asked me his breath was coming out rushed.
My mum just came out of the house, I didn’t need to tell Christian what happened, I just pointed him to the direction of where she was standing… Good god, she could have caught us.
I opened the door and walked down.
“Hey mum” I said tucking my hair at the back of my ear.
“Jenna, whose car is that… Is that one of Christian’s car?” She asked me walking closer to the car.
Christian climbed down.
“Good evening Elisa” ” he said combing his fingers through his hair, I swear I heard my mum gasp. He walked towards us and gave my mum a light hug.
“I knew that the car belonged to you” my mum said laughing and rubbing her hand on his shoulder.
“It’s not mine, it’s Jenna’s” Christian said, my mum instantly turned to me with a shocked expression.
“How.. I know you get paid a lot but didn’t we discuss about savings, how can you buy such an expensive car!” My mum yelled.
“Elisa… Elisa, don’t raise your voice at her” Christian said, I could hear anger in his voice.
“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to but… She needs to learn how to save godammit!”
My mum said walking towards the door. My stepdad stepped out and my mum pointed to my new car.
“Look at Jenna’s car, she bought it” my mum said.
My stepdad looked at the car the looked at me, a funny look crossed his eyes.
“It’s beautiful.. fuck, look at this baby”
Christian chuckled, I tried keeping my eyes away from him but he was a sight to behold and savour, he turned to me and caught me staring at him.
I turned away and placed my gaze on my foot, I felt him beside me instantly, he placed a quick kiss at the side of my head and gave my ass a gentle squeeze.
My mouth fell open in shock. He chuckled and walked away.
“Marcellino!” My mum yelled.
“What?”
“Tell her that she shouldn’t waste her money on things like this, invest Jenna ”
“You’re not my business advisor ” I said under my breath but I was almost certain she heard me
Her shoulders dropped.
“Why is your room empty, you cleared out everything, why?”
“I moved out”
“What?” My mum and stepdad asked at the same time. I turned to Christian, he nodded urging me to tell them.
I never knew that moving out of your parents house could be like this, it was weird… I felt free but freedom was different from what I thought it was, it felt cold.
“I got a house, I moved”
There was silence.
“Let’s go inside” my stepdad said.
I was the first to walk, I walked past my mum and dad and went to stand in he living room.
“Why didn’t you tell us you were moving, where did you get the house, you didn’t even tell us you were looking for a house, is that what we have become Jenna, strangers?” My mum said, I was not willing to let her turn the case into a mountain.
“Mum, I didn’t know if I would get it so I didn’t want to say it and then at the end I would loose the house, I was scared you’d call me a disappointment again”
“They called you a disappointment?” Christian asked.
“No one called her a disappointment ” my stepdad said turning to me, with his eyes fixed on mine he said. “Right Jenna?”
Before I met Christian, i felt that his older brother Marcellino, had eyes that cold tear through someone’s skin, his eyes could talk to you, they could read you but then I met Christian… He had eyes that punctured the soul, in a good way and bad away.
“No, I remember the both of you calling me a disappointment but I’ve forgiven you guys” I said crossing my hand on my shoulder.
“Marcellino, is true?” Christian asked, I turned to him, he was sitting on the arm chair and his demeanor was cold and scary. He was scaring the fuck out of my parent, he scared the fuck out of everybody.
“No, it’s not true I was just
Joking” I said taking a seat at the couch.
I heard my stepdad let out the breath he had been holding, I picked the remote from beside me and I pressed play.
“Something smells nice” I heard Christian say.
“Yeah, the chef came over, he’s cooking dinner” my mum answered.
“Any special occasion?” Christian asked and my mum massaged her forehead.
“Yeah, we were hoping…” My my mum was saying but she was cut off sharply by the doorbell and the hard knock that followed.
“Are you expecting someone?” I asked my parents.
“Yes… Marcel please check the door, it might be our guest” my mum said.
My stepdad stood up, I wanted him walk to the door.
But, he didn’t return with the guest they were expecting.
“Uh, I think we got a problem” he said, wiping the beads of sweat that had already started forging on his forehead.
Immediately my eyes fell on them, I froze.
