I jumped up and run towards the door when the doorbell rang. I had to leave as soon as possible. I was suffocating.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlS2vLd7i4
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJSdb2I6ki
“Hey,” I breathed as soon my eyes met his tall figure. His presence somehow eased my insides. Damien frowned as he walked passed me. He studied me for a while before speaking.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmGezwgnQj
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzsWZ6YugB
“Why are you really leaving?” he asked and put a cigarette between his lips. I took my eyes away from him and walked to the fridge to get the food containers, my mother instructed on taking with me. He followed me with his eyes.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHM2Gd7enA
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBF3GLTPIT
“I talked to Cleo,” I replied; my voice low but steady. I heard him breathe out the smoke. “Why you never told me she wasn’t talking to you?” I asked and put the food containers on the kitchen counter as I turned to look at him; the hurt visible in my features and voice.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9yezBDLvL
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uhZXtwHN0
“It wasn’t necessary,” he replied.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNv9Wd6eB0
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEFJbh0wyC
“I was anxious because I didn’t know what she thought about us. Well it’s obvious she made up her mind as soon as I told her!” I exclaimed.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLGEYcpGbC
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMLssldRT4
“First of all,” he said and took the cigarette between his index finger and his thumb to remove it from his lips “Calm down,” he looked at me.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GpcoX4a29
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGLU5gtK14
“She’s your sister!” I threw my hands in the air “I’m her best friend,” I said; my voice turning down “I can’t do that,” I winced.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChxIMPIBls
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHGHHaZXkM
“What’s that supposed to mean?” he frowned.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QAimoSFs0
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWzhj1e4xs
“Nothing,” I lied “I’ll stay with James for a while,” I mumbled “I need to calm down, obviously.”539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqnmPm8JzS
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmQmav691W
“Your semester finals are in ten days,” he frowned.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKkdim4Uc8
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tdQM4ctAp
“I know,” I said. I didn’t want to say that I’ll be back by then. I didn’t know what was going to happen. I hated leaving him behind. I took the food containers from the counter and walked out the garage and left them on the passenger’s seat.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaIpd2CMhM
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrHER5KSOb
“Can I still call you?” he asked. I turned towards him. He looked anxious as he stood in the doorway, gazing at me with those amazing grey eyes. I couldn’t help but smile a little.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUU6lfJqoz
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cawndLWwP
“Of course,” I told him and walked up to him. I put my arms around his neck and pulled him to my level for a small kiss. A smile appeared on his lips too.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNSuIXBll3
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9OfIBS6cl
“Are you sure, your bug will take you up there?” he smiled. I narrowed my eyes took a step back.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nZZAZarpV
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HYD463tUo
“Leave my bug alone, Simmons,” I shook my finger into his face. He chuckled and grabbed my finger. “Ouch!” I exclaimed as he twisted it.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cMpdTWkKu
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMNFpa16Ye
“Just a reminder,” he smirked; my favorite dimple appeared on his left cheek. I stood on my toes and put my arms around his neck again. He leaned down and touched his lips to mine, parting them and stroking my tongue with his. “Call me as soon as you get there please,” he said when he released me.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuefj4M4ft
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1POXgCp9zu
“Okay,” I nodded and locked the door to my garage. I wasn’t planning on letting him know about what Cleo and I actually talked about.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGp5aGkkMh

I’ve been staying with James for the past five days and been talking to Damien everyday; not at all trying to disguise the discomfort I feel. Max said that Cleo was in her room all day, pretending to study.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx8B5BxORv
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yBCVxgPtR
I was occupying my brother’s living room pretending to do the same thing. The first night I arrived he sat me down and wanted to know why I was playing fugitive. After I explained everything, he said I was right. Kind of. He said that running away wasn’t the right move. I should have stayed there, according to my brother, and fight for the right to be with Damien. James was right and I am a coward! The fact that my confidence had abandoned me was a huge reason for my departure.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWmz8kOJLJ
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8vas7lJt3
“When are you coming home?” Damien asked while we were on the phone.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieI7FxTUgW
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wa1BWPCcI
“I don’t know,” I replied “It’s nice out here,” I lied. Damien scoffed. “Cleo hasn’t even tried to contact me,” I mumbled defeated and he sighed.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLe7DPrdge
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7Qmjl3Tfa
“I’ll try and talk to her,” he said.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6kv9NluCN
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvhHsA3oGX
“Please, don’t argue because of me,” I pleaded.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWvqYK1h7L
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt9VMiZ7qr
“Ladybug, I’m gonna kick your ass!” he exclaimed. I jumped up from the sudden change in his voice. “Either you want us to talk or not!”539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbS2gAOrwA
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswRKsDiwC1
“Yes! Talk! Not fight!” I argued. Damien groaned impatiently. I exhaled and fell back to the couch. “I would appreciate it if you solve this,” I breathed “For now, the only thing I can do is disappear from your life for a while,” I mumbled.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7w7cNSBLX
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfVBb7LDnd
“That sounded like a goodbye, Erica,” he said and I could hear his frown.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lSSRGHhsb
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbICnNEj1a
“It’s not a goodbye you dramatic fool,” I replied.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDiGmvCqsd
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ycKqCIfXG
“If I’m being dramatic, then what are you?” he mocked.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj7iyEMwic
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7PpwXull0
“Overdramatic?” I tried to make a joke.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6BDtKI5C2
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQVcCg7ttu
“I’m coming over tomorrow, to see you,” he said; completely changing the subject.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIfANU8S5T
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRRymSQWdm
“You don’t have to drive all the way up here,” I frowned. Even if I miss your pretty face so much!539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cgxq1brMd
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1n1JaVmEs
“If you don’t want me to come, just tell me,” he breathed. He really was being overdramatic.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14R8GoYFEV
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9Lgw3jhw9
“What’s with you today?” I groaned “I’ll try and go to the supermarket tomorrow because James says that I’ll ruin his couch if I stay on it a bit longer,” I heard him sighing impatiently “So, call me when you’re near, to give you directions,” I said.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlog9FNyHj
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSVGZifUiO
“Okay,” he said and I wish I could see that goofy smile of his face that always made me giggle. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIfwEah2vf
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWyVsoZQgO
We hang up the phone and I left the device on the coffee table. I snuggled up in my blankets and cried myself to sleep like I did for the past five days I was away. It hurt that I couldn’t enjoy being with him. I had a feeling that it would end soon. If only I could relax and enjoy this while it lasted.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEoJYDLj9d
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQKglPGOub
But, it’s already been a month. Maybe this was it. I was scared that when I’d see him I’d talk about what Cleo had said and that it would be the end of us. I knew that he wasn’t a relationship guy right from the start. But why do I get myself into situations like this all the time?539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20wRYhJgdC
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MC7tNBvuw
I wasn’t good enough for him but he wouldn’t stay with me long enough to find out, so I guess that was a good thing? Then why was he always saying that he wouldn’t leave me?539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM1voZQQ5s
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rgsFO4xiT
I was going insane; overthinking and overanalyzing.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxQLGU5Cmr

Damien wanted to go out for dinner instead of just staying in, so we had arrange to pick me up and maybe later come back to James apartment. It was so nice seeing him after six days. It was the longest time we’ve been apart since we got together. Even before that, I would see him every two days. Thankfully my mood was good, unlike all the previous days, because I was excited to see him.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM3GZuswra
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6HuwH1lmf
I was waiting for him outside James building and first saw him when I got in the car. I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek as I rushed in the car because he couldn’t park his M6 on the sidewalk.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHI9J905dA
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFL3BAuhz8
“Missed me?” I grinned after I fastened my seatbelt and turned towards him. I looked at him, trying to take in his form.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdApCNehajz
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEJ8Dxo6A8
“No, I was just passing by,” he mocked but kept a straight face. I scoffed and turned forward again. I changed the radio station and sat back on my seat. We pretended to ignore each other, though I could see his smirk as he drove.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb22dgzwT6k
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9mHeDY4I2
Once he parked the car in the restaurant parking lot, I got out and waited to meet him behind the car. He walked up to me, a smirk on his lips. The small dimple on his left cheek made me narrow my eyes instead of giggling. He put his hands on my waist and pulled me close.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl6Xc6Udar
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yB98dZ7i5
“Don’t I get a kiss?”539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQirnrMvI5
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u21aMLAD9
“You didn’t miss me,” I raised my eyebrows pretending not to care. I pulled away and took a step away from him.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyORNDPhoo8
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdngGgPL5MV
“Come here,” he smirked and gripped my wrist; pulling me back.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNrQpd3eZv
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OS5JvNu9G
He put his palms against my cheeks and pulled me in for a kiss. As soon as our lips met, my hands shot up around his wide shoulders and pulled him closer. I parted my lips and cupped his full top lip before he pushed his tongue into my mouth. A soft moan escaped my lips as he deepened the kiss and pulled me tightly against his body. I breathed through my nose but the oxygen wasn’t enough and I had to pull away from him. I traced his unshaved face and smiled.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztnQ1WTOTj
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi90y7Q73lP
“I’ll shave if you come back,” he offered; the small dimple visible on his left cheek.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEngk9wFbjs
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWguzoKVm9F
“Then I’m not coming back,” I grinned “I like you like this,” I raised my eyebrows and my grin turned into a smirk. “It suits you.” He smiled and kissed me once again.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUlkIzrFO5

Several times during dinner I caught myself being more quiet than usual; silently worrying if this was right or not. I was okay when I first saw him but every minute I spend inside my head was driving me straight into depression. Lately I was feeling closer to Damien and I slowly started opening up to him and then Cleo said all those things to me. It made me doubt everything. I felt scared again.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKIAvHzS1V
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexMmbJ1O7v
«“You’ll get hurt! He’s always between relationships. Never stayed with one girl for too long! I’m not enough for him. He’s not for you! I’ll never be enough,» Her words and mine mixed together in my head pushing me under and under.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ9JSlc3vt
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdGQrpZo1c
“Apparently this was a bad idea,” I heard Damien mumbling from next to me as he sipped his drink. I frowned and turned towards him.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpvZvOIIcj
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVgsgtE9Rp
“No it wasn’t,” I shook my head “I’m just…” I winced and looked at the table; the words abandoning me.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYrw1ldsPL
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EVFkjkQkT
“Yeah,” he breathed sounding disappointed.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFZWIkVMfU
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe24be6G1X
I felt the tears swelling up inside. I bid down my lip to keep the trembling under control. I averted my eyes and exhaled. He put his hand over mine and squished it. I was tensed and feeling uncomfortable. I heard him exhaling before retrieving his hand. I left mine where it was, longing for his touch. But I was too numb to ask for it.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR01517mXM
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5At0dV44wJ
“Ready to take you back?” he asked. His voice sounded lighter like he wanted to show me that it was a random question; that it had nothing to do with the fact I was so quiet. I thought that he might have wanted to go for a drink or at least come up to James place.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQYEUdQkcC
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsagolu1pK4
“Yeah,” I replied.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjtkKMnpBx
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2Y2rJtK6h
James told me that he would stay at one of his friend’s house tonight so if I wanted, I could tell Damien to stay over. I was a little scared to ask because I wasn’t ready for rejection, but I had missed him so much.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG6qQgy7w5
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFfZoiGCdq
“Do you want to come up?” I found the courage to ask, my voice almost a whisper, as he stopped the car in front of James building.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeACpj1cYti
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Vjr4uKoJ
“Can’t park here,” he replied. I scoffed and shook my head. I haven’t heard a lamest excuse.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDGeX8WSn3

“Whatever,” I mumbled and unfastened my seatbelt.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHIjkgxNLW

“He’ll stay with a friend,” I replied “And you could park in his place,” I said and opened the door “But don’t be forced into anything. Goodnight,” I blurt aggravated as I got out of the car and closed the door behind me.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRngLVGNcw
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpeZOP1RjT
I didn’t hear the car engine shutting down or fainting away. Instead I heard the car moving slowly until I saw the black M6 turning into the building’s parking lot. He stopped next me as I walked towards the building door.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4gs3ZXphO
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUHQoPcSBC
“Are you going to point out his space?” Damien asked me from inside the car. I bid my lower lip and got inside the car again.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyABEDA7MNp
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WVgM9wKgg
Once we got inside James apartment, I got out of my coat and asked Damien if he wanted anything to drink.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VxqOJgY6K
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIYgbk388v
“You sleep here I assume?” he smiled as he sat down on the couch.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60DynJKsYN
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsswcEuHmnE
“Yeah, I remove the cushions to have more room,” I smiled back. It was clear he was trying to break the ice. “Do you mind if I change clothes?” I winced.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnotxVlLsx
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVhSkRm4SJ
“Ladybug, I have seen you in your pajamas more times than I have seen you in actual clothes,” Damien chuckled and shook his head. Indeed it was a weird question to ask.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hn6iw9BPe
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AeRIP3iKL
I chuckled too as I walked to the closet behind the apartment door and fished for the t-shirt and pajama bottoms I was wearing at home. I left them on top of the pile of the folded clothes that were inside the closet and removed my jeans and top. Right when I had my pajama pants in my hands, a set of warm hands were around my body; a set of lips against my shoulder.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWS0oNXAVQ
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurQDND71kg
“Hurry to get dressed?” Damien asked with a smirk on his lips.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWpyLyFiJk
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCvl5MXzjV
“You were in a hurry to leave,” I pointed out. He sighed and turned me towards him. He cupped my face and looked at me with his piercing gray eyes before cupping my lips with his own. I moved my lips against his softly before parting them and seek for his tongue. I put my hands under his t-shirt and traced his warm skin.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodrBYzPkl1
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0I4bzp3UK
“I’ve missed you,” I whispered; my voice hoarse as his lips moved to my neck.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ja5U44Zf6
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiEz0Pv241
“Me too,” he replied and nibbled my skin; a soft moan escaped my throat. He squished my butt and led me towards the couch. As my legs hit the furniture I pushed him lightly back.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0oP1hxKTN
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlb5FRfoYg
“Got any condoms with you?” I mumbled against his lips.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRQVy7QCFE

“Yeah,” he nodded and kissed my neck.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRTphFLP8h
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx48UaAEJr
“Wait,” I said and took the sheet that was folded at the end of the couch and put it over the furniture. I didn’t want to have to explain to my brother how his couch got ruined. Damien laughed as he moved himself behind me; now squishing my sides. I turned towards him and kissed him again as he pushed me backwards against the cushions.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb5jkphDFG

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJRsEBLtKk
Only when I was almost asleep those kinds of thoughts would escape the back of my mind. Damien shifted in order to take the pack of cigarettes from the coffee table. He took a cigar from the pack and I felt him as he turned his head away from me to lid on the cigarette.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIwLNqYqo4

“What’s wrong?” I frowned and rested my weight on my elbow to look at him better. Damien frowned. He run his fingers through his messy brown hair and exhaled.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiUajRSK9P

“No,” he shook his head lightly; his dark gray eyes staring back at my brown ones. I sat up and pulled the sheet with me. A piece of fabric was underneath my feet so I couldn’t pull it over my back. I groaned irritated. Damien put the cigarette between his lips and leaned towards me.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBo7cVuNUT

“Tell me more about it,” I told him as I sat against the wall. I stretched out my legs; my thighs pressing his. Damien took his cigarette with his right hand as I was sitting on his left side and rested his, now free, hand on my thighs; stroking my skin.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCwKSKeAeV

“Um,” I mumbled and took a breath “When are you leaving?”539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULgCQTHH7X

“In two weeks,” he sighed and leaned over to the coffee table to put the cigarette stub in the ashtray.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFby2jxvY4j

I nodded, looking elsewhere as I started calculating the days. Today was the 7th. My exams were starting on the 17th . So Damien was leaving the 21st, in the middle of my exams. I didn’t like that.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7auXkKIff

I pulled my legs back and settled in his left side. He put his hand on my back again and stroked my skin as I put my right arm around his body and pulled him closer.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcNGSabq2H

His phone vibrated from the table making a lot of noise and causing me to jump up. He leaned away from me and took the device.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIe61CfLu8

“Yeah,” he answered the phone “With Erica,” he said and got my attention “Just tell dad that I’m coming in late tomorrow,” he said and I understood he was talking to Max, since Cleo wasn’t talking to him.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yd90AotFG
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZMq1fTxwP
“Hi,” I called to Max.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRS7wOwHYq
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHm8OlNrgA
“He said hi too,” Damien laughed. “Okay, bye,” he said to Max and disconnected the call. Before Damien put the phone away, I noticed the black and white background picture on his phone and frowned. It looked familiar.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcWG39vKDt
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9Zn1hUqVn
“Wait,” I said and took the phone from his hand.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13ShtNnu96

A girl was sitting on a bed, one leg over the other as she wore her stockings. As I scrutinized the background it looked even more familiar. I could only see one side of her face as her hair were falling down in front of her; barely covering her cleavage. And then it hit me. It was me!I narrowed my eyes and looked at Damien who was grinning.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLEhjtVcBm

“Stalker!” I mocked and put the phone next to him.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIRUiQhaIX

“It’s a great photograph,” he smirked; my favorite dimple appearing on his cheek. I smiled and leaned over him. I put my hand against his chest and touched my lips to his; my tongue entering his mouth. He put his free hand around my waist and pulled me closer. “I have more,” he smirked against my lips.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxt2VwQ826
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYi8TescwD
“More of what?” I frowned and pulled back.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk3M65CdkI
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTzoBG9dpr
“More photographs of you,” he raised his eyebrows.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9gSbQ1XC7

“You better show me,” I narrowed my eyes as he shifted in front of me to put the cigarette in the ashtray.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuL2pyZ4fP
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YQmPYSGp1
“No,” he shook his head. “You won’t let me keep them,” he explained.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw2pHc37aK
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R8m4X8ATb
“What the hell? You have nude pictures?” I frowned and grabbed the device again.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobrnPa8wbO
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o6M6LnqLl
“Don’t!” he warned.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfaCtwDC9V
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGt4ATI9VQ
“Shut up,” I mumbled as I turned my back to him and opened the phone gallery. Damien pulled me backwards and took the phone back. “Hey,” I exclaimed.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaV2VNOlFu
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ032vB5Tsfl
“Shh,” he said and pinned me against the mattress and left the phone on the coffee table next to us. I fought to overpower him but with no success.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj2ILk0Xa7
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xJbtl7Zam
He positioned himself between my legs, keeping my hands pinned down. I wrapped my legs around him and bid my lower lip, grinning. He leaned over me and kissed my neck slowly until he reached my collarbone. He, then, moved his lips upwards and traced my jaw line before he looked into my eyes.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGwQtWbhPj

“You haven’t asked me one thing,” he whispered, his heartbeat quickening and he released my hands; his face going serious.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW262zMzr8
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcktN7GA9a7
“What?” I asked.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BDDVAV4rY
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpRdsCbjuj
“Not to go,” he replied. I felt my heart beating like a drum set. I put my hands on either side of his head.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH89OqZIEQa

“I can’t ask you that,” I shook my head lightly. Before I could explain any further I saw him raising his eyebrows and shaking his head; like he meant to say that he expected that from me. “I can never ask you to let an opportunity like that pass you by, Damien,” I explained. He searched my eyes for a while.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIJ405dL0z
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9rjUiTDJg
“Okay,” he finally nodded and touched his full lips to mine. I hoped that what I said was enough. I didn’t want to complicate things more by saying something more.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gKEldOFQp
