I jumped up and run towards the door when the doorbell rang. I had to leave as soon as possible. I was suffocating.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhewd4i50sF
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16xwu03w4p
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZjAJTPhIX
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ErtSFtLMK
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6SRLLpZ2l
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0mMQ862hT
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4VELe8rNa
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVxnGqid7E
“It wasn’t necessary,” he replied.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hB1LFXAwB
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZAaCm0qUz
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rBSuGGrkt
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLeMp8lGGp
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQpxfJxSpn
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lggFBsfeU
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudGCXylXYx
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSNEalPIGz
“What’s that supposed to mean?” he frowned.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs4ykkYTK4
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ4lzJiw0f
“Nothing,” I lied “I’ll stay with James for a while,” I mumbled “I need to calm down, obviously.”550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzSvS2PJgi
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy3JJsy17D
“Your semester finals are in ten days,” he frowned.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcjvgrkdUP
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDztLQiApIL
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZXIrMx3Cw
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi1m73vsjI
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCeP6aTQ5F
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIxMEIBS9u
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfu3iC0xG9
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yfB8erSEc
“Are you sure, your bug will take you up there?” he smiled. I narrowed my eyes took a step back.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0urJEHTUb
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPezC044lB
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7So4u80m6
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhsr0wjhm6
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLFZ9waSig
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Is6QrrDcD
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTkJuA4LUk

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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3esP2BQSMS
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKViCcOeCb
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f9GJMR7Df
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXfZ4O46pN
“When are you coming home?” Damien asked while we were on the phone.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCovvHrS0SU
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwR1HPrAlV
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguaqp9UhsN
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi3mASiP6n
“I’ll try and talk to her,” he said.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBehbqtasD
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyoh5smphc
“Please, don’t argue because of me,” I pleaded.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEP1qj4yBH
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqm39BvqQb
“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!”550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWCmYoqJxc
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgllp8cjnFQ
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX3S4mOmgy
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00AzzJHImi
“That sounded like a goodbye, Erica,” he said and I could hear his frown.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXKUSAfbzC
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFaZdaHk05
“It’s not a goodbye you dramatic fool,” I replied.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZFY5gLiMO
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu5RREmis8
“If I’m being dramatic, then what are you?” he mocked.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNzH5AaLxI
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaYeZiNNEa
“Overdramatic?” I tried to make a joke.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIrQ3tBdAw
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8dSCoLL09
“I’m coming over tomorrow, to see you,” he said; completely changing the subject.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGy0gXiNnk
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpWy1IvkWk
“You don’t have to drive all the way up here,” I frowned. Even if I miss your pretty face so much!550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ig7nrDmof
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQOOpf8s24
“If you don’t want me to come, just tell me,” he breathed. He really was being overdramatic.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q538x84HJ
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YAzrE8hiV
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSIsRLhZHO
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6GPlcuhUK
“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.”550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAU0MeNMKH
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O3Zcymc48
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAoXozMFdo
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PmfawthUR
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?550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhsqwhYPUV
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDZpTp3oZx
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?550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H7vq613vm
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcoaOwopa5

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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhj2dcRxYL
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5mJcFVHKj
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBzBO3gvcO
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45Dqi2N7DF
“Missed me?” I grinned after I fastened my seatbelt and turned towards him. I looked at him, trying to take in his form.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8TnrgMZNB
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdQ3Hk0rvE
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCsHfuFwOY
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN7t2Zxgms
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJItFkiVwfq
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOVkPM8dBB
“Don’t I get a kiss?”550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPHgl3VadE
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfNm9ouQYS
“You didn’t miss me,” I raised my eyebrows pretending not to care. I pulled away and took a step away from him.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCcRNmJeOa
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KS0wNIX17
“Come here,” he smirked and gripped my wrist; pulling me back.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc53DS8VSo
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Luy8A8fy
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xqdeuyxva
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdNdVDyHVI
“I’ll shave if you come back,” he offered; the small dimple visible on his left cheek.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz643R8qIU
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5gfR2fRl8
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBgehOyVuK

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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04dVJ5GObl
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfTHbSEgto
«“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvxiZqADeW
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJqO5ZAJ2i
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6Ii3Rsc5A
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTSUxkYdSU
“No it wasn’t,” I shook my head “I’m just…” I winced and looked at the table; the words abandoning me.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yXlHM9mdn
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68PZ4HWLSY
“Yeah,” he breathed sounding disappointed.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiyZKkQH6I
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBzUi6cJxR
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQclA36E7VN
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO3ACiQhAN
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNodxcQWu7c
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPTS4EQLGp
“Yeah,” I replied.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZLyBP7xDu
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohKBkgHI0B
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61VwxaYKWd
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6FxIpZWK0
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrT5M1pEyH
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3e5MV5zho
“Can’t park here,” he replied. I scoffed and shook my head. I haven’t heard a lamest excuse.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHxqt1DQfg

“Whatever,” I mumbled and unfastened my seatbelt.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrDphyt4br

“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2j6mYA29j
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JKYmAHBcx
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sRYFih2Og
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUlm8In4xL
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3zcEpr2Vf
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUbhtNxpXd
Once we got inside James apartment, I got out of my coat and asked Damien if he wanted anything to drink.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCakwguDtQU
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XEbOJ8u8K
“You sleep here I assume?” he smiled as he sat down on the couch.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTXHKjfDxy
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gc6xsYID0
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzmzVhYvPx
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QusxthESW
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4RzRD3Gz2
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLQVZhJfDq
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO9nkfsByX
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwZHmnRGMw
“Hurry to get dressed?” Damien asked with a smirk on his lips.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqOOX1Zaid
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX76QKRUKUL
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVPkHhKyoQ
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxVCWLi8RS
“I’ve missed you,” I whispered; my voice hoarse as his lips moved to my neck.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbu7EI1SCC
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEe7z2aAbA
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbPNKvpf4T
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxsHxFNEbF
“Got any condoms with you?” I mumbled against his lips.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ29JXdKFhL

“Yeah,” he nodded and kissed my neck.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijzHMa0iHC
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKkIwAECj6
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHByyOmYdt

550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zj1iGK6tW
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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxCKyug2sx

“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0SiyV38md

“Oh,” was all I managed to voice. I licked my lips and breathed. What that meant for us? Did he mean that we were breaking up? I gathered my thoughts and took a deep breath.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc27Fd3JNrS

“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dx6Zr5Ui3

“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTLFDA82uK

“Um,” I mumbled and took a breath “When are you leaving?”550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi3wzwqjaD

“In two weeks,” he sighed and leaned over to the coffee table to put the cigarette stub in the ashtray.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU7M8qAc7d

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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjQGQTI3Jo

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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sy5jU7LyL

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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPPIF9Xsaa

“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleMckDSXlo
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQsc7ULJhf
“Hi,” I called to Max.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu0iH8VVVJ
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8QNSJoHzK
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoACzjRxsJK
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg5f0KOCgm
“Wait,” I said and took the phone from his hand.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cdNV7xClb

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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpBbhuDEZt

“Stalker!” I mocked and put the phone next to him.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYADKiyl51

“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdxlvMstdc

“More of what?” I frowned and pulled back.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GoBfiNuzU
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGHANg1mcQ
“More photographs of you,” he raised his eyebrows.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOFTw6qOIE

“You better show me,” I narrowed my eyes as he shifted in front of me to put the cigarette in the ashtray.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdJGf8FZmu
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zQZrBNj9Q
“No,” he shook his head. “You won’t let me keep them,” he explained.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr3vqc4IFQ
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVXFGGxmF2
“What the hell? You have nude pictures?” I frowned and grabbed the device again.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMDAJJdysm
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOYGde6sDn
“Don’t!” he warned.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDZP227sRv
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LNBNgjWTx
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrgLMR01eV
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9mY6pRnFh
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4Zguzb5ll

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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQVxqhmleB

“You haven’t asked me one thing,” he whispered, his heartbeat quickening and he released my hands; his face going serious.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfAlzjj5TK
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwlxidpa5b
“What?” I asked.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkkKyM9ln9
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QrBv4lgIJ
“Not to go,” he replied. I felt my heart beating like a drum set. I put my hands on either side of his head.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7zydcLhPY

“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CxUXZ2WNk
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h7zm8fcOW
“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.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiXUNG7isp
