“What of the guy that had her in his room, what is his name?”
“Trevor, sir”
“Can you get me any more information about him?”
“Of course sir”
Then there was silence, I heard Christian’s footsteps coming towards me. I panicked, with the information he already knew, he would be angry at me all over again and I wanted his happiness, just that.
I laid back down, pulled the comforter very clean around me and if it was newly ironed and I turned my back to him and faced the other side.
I heard him stop at the door, I felt his all consuming presence. I knew how to lay as if I was still asleep, nobody would ever suspect I was awake. I knew how to lay dead, I knew how to play unconscious… All these things I had learned on set.
“Jenna, I know you’re awake”
I sighed.
“At least I made an effort” I mumbled after a while and I sat down again.
He was in linen pants and soft green t-shirt. His hair was tousled, as if he just stepped out of the shower but it was dry. On his face there was a stubble and even though he was angry at the news he just heard, his eyes were shimmering with contentedness and happiness.
Probably because we had reconciled.
“Please, don’t be angry at me” I begged.
“Do I really repel you that much that you would want to jump into the sea and drown”
“That is what would have happened” he interjected sharply.
He and Klyee were never slow with their comebacks.
“I knew you were looking for me, I just woke up and I knew it was you. I still had insecurities and anxiety. I went to the window, I knew I would fit through and I just thought I’d be like Jay and be fearless”
I shrugged but none of what I said made him less agitated and troubled.
“I’m sorry, forgive me” I finally said and he stretched out his hand.
I ran to him and hugged him. By the time we pulled out of each other’s embrace, the chocolate was very cold, but I gulped it down anyway because it was very sweet.
I ate the other sweet pastries and I let him watch me.
“Tell me, how did you know I was here?” I asked after I was done.
“Jay’s Instagram. Blue followed him. The picture on the deck was what she saw. She sent it to Kylee” he spoke in bits and if he felt any way about the picture, he showed nothing.
“I’m sorry you saw that”
“No, It’s fine. You were beautiful in it, we were having a fight”
I shook my head, it was still wrong.
I knew this as I watched him try and fail to hide the sadness.
“I had a nightmare are then and I couldn’t sleep, he offered to take me out and stay with him. The sea was black and I could not differentiate it from the sky, but there was moonlight. I wanted it to be you”
“I’m sorry I wasn’t there ”
We were quiet.
“What are the nightmares about ”
“My dad” I said.
“Marcellino?” He asked, suddenly alarmed.
“No, my real dad” I corrected and saw how he visible relaxed but was till trouble. “It’s just a nightmare but he always tries to take my hand and you’re always there with me to save me, but this time, you weren’t ”
He apologized again.
“I found out that Marcelino and I aren’t full brothers ” he said.
“What?” I asked feeling somewhat elated.
“It turns out my mum had her own secrets. My dad’s name was Dante, he was a bartender and he probably died broke ”
I didn’t know why but I bursted out in laughter.
He stood up from his chair and morphed in front of me.
“What is so funny?” He asked looking amused.
“I dunno why… But I just felt relieved that at least someone you knew didn’t have exaggerated amounts of money ” I said and then his smile faded.
I knew I had fucked up.
“I didn’t know him” he whispered.
“I’m sorry ” I said hugging him.
The embrace turned to me soothing him and explaining to him foolish it was of me to make such a joke.
“It’s fine Baby. No, it really is”
He smiled, then the smile widened.
“What?” I asked him.
“Your birthday is coming up” he said.
I didn’t even remember and yet he did, although I never openly told him my birthday.
“It is” I said with a nod.
His hands crawled under my skirt, the one I had been wearing since yesterday afternoon.
Dear god, I needed to take a freaking bath.
“I was thinking” he said as he fiddled with the elastic band of my panties.
“Yeah?” I asked him.
“We should skip the trip to Budapest. I could take you anywhere else, we’ll be alone” he said promisingly. I closed my eyes and drank in the images of the both of us alone somewhere, it was like sweet wine.
It was tempting, I wanted more and more.
“But, my parents would be sad if I cancel now” I said.
He shook his head.
“They would but… You don’t owe them anything” he pulled down my panties untill they reached my knees, I watched the red fabric as if it were an obstacle that needed to get way.
Good god, I was almost now begging him to go faster. My pussy was getting moist, I was getting excited. It’s been days since we were intimate and now that he was making advances, I realized how much I missed it, how much I wanted him now, more than ever.
It was as if the wait had made me value the sex more and now I was already mad for it. I swallowed the saliva clogging at the side of my mouth. I opened my mouth to moan when his fingers brushed past my breast as he took off my bra. That was how sensitive I’ve become.
“Cancel the trip to Budapest, please, I want us to go somewhere else, i want you all to myself”
