I jumped up and run towards the door when the doorbell rang. I had to leave as soon as possible. I was suffocating.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE6rzD0uom
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUoeWxC5H5
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONDYqA73H1
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIDwOjEpEw
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQjG1DXXgc
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWGhO9NUqk
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITX3I7HOdk
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWmiwwxwxe
“It wasn’t necessary,” he replied.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BUbCJHjbm
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4PVW41jAd
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9zTMjYCkx
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2yseDlAOq
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTvAu8X2Ud
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3x4CSJbQt
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdxbn7FAU5
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmcPSL01iM
“What’s that supposed to mean?” he frowned.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dTIqqhIMx
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNqevCBAtH
“Nothing,” I lied “I’ll stay with James for a while,” I mumbled “I need to calm down, obviously.”529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvOqkqroOG
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSChMySpgHj
“Your semester finals are in ten days,” he frowned.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrRtxTMbd6
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzaXuH2TCB
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCD2MAZWWE
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡato0EHGrta
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrexib1xny
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsBLJSpDMI
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4dPoIQ0rX
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbFFPhJKfR
“Are you sure, your bug will take you up there?” he smiled. I narrowed my eyes took a step back.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39KR3MQF1i
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgtJ64vfRp
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVL3qMZsb6
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdFQFYJYPb
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYLLHWM7JD
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOxVPQioWc
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHis9qi3agp

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIVNM4GgUi
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmVr8i1GBM
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTSOIagWm8
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz8Bjoy3Jo
“When are you coming home?” Damien asked while we were on the phone.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8KaQmqBbv
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAtiIHwPvG
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynA0Fttqrp
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumakkQ8qNh
“I’ll try and talk to her,” he said.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpLy5GcxBd
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAh0dMLjlw
“Please, don’t argue because of me,” I pleaded.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PFEkrqzl2
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt9kKTmfw0
“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!”529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuPx0S2EN1
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOGnbXIUUv
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7FxqiaSE2
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7taHMWXte
“That sounded like a goodbye, Erica,” he said and I could hear his frown.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlFFAE7NAR
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8hA9SlHla
“It’s not a goodbye you dramatic fool,” I replied.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCtVQw78kD
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc4DfUc2OV
“If I’m being dramatic, then what are you?” he mocked.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4Emu5vvC9
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4lKB7jVLB
“Overdramatic?” I tried to make a joke.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU2OCFGvru
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7lnKuPv7T
“I’m coming over tomorrow, to see you,” he said; completely changing the subject.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR65EuG874
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOTOuf8gAt
“You don’t have to drive all the way up here,” I frowned. Even if I miss your pretty face so much!529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9A72acshf
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT7d8EAeAf
“If you don’t want me to come, just tell me,” he breathed. He really was being overdramatic.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cl4QhTqth
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUIHmOviKd
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9LeWShq5P
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5qZhqqQqA
“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.”529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC0ljuxtgw
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOBojDqrxB
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVSkrUyRfs
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jHWb7rnzZ
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?529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTYbTaSk7d
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyCvICvoe1
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?529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimBSL7Dctg
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd1G8M7AMe

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvfi3e1mjj
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3Gm9dyXmo
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pWSJ3bNRp
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHZCYdfsRk
“Missed me?” I grinned after I fastened my seatbelt and turned towards him. I looked at him, trying to take in his form.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvGuIFXeYW
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNA8QbXFt5
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa32t4LrWfa
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zYPuc2T1J
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGZKs5QQeO
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0H8iCbGeB
“Don’t I get a kiss?”529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjBRiFocxH
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPuB4cH6j3
“You didn’t miss me,” I raised my eyebrows pretending not to care. I pulled away and took a step away from him.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhoalpo8YW
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg09UKf1Yz
“Come here,” he smirked and gripped my wrist; pulling me back.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2M9YbS0OH
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcAqNNsNht
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu8jwXgD4h
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlAyrm18iO
“I’ll shave if you come back,” he offered; the small dimple visible on his left cheek.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GMZGdibGz
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PHSlcHNuP
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI3wJ9qf89

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzrsubOseM
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcic4QyPL3
«“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdOQDpQAHt
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopt3EYVMp7
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1WKc1J7kV
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhh9YgS912
“No it wasn’t,” I shook my head “I’m just…” I winced and looked at the table; the words abandoning me.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtN2ZizVk6
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5m6gVglsF
“Yeah,” he breathed sounding disappointed.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvNy8KDDnC
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwyS4uBEp0
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX34cYpRuL
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu5NLBAiaB
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP50OkmqtAT
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlL2geh3a6
“Yeah,” I replied.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBbr6qjsxM
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUiiPkZUyD
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBjGNUKQBS
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAXUJumZwO
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvmglQkFGS
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsG7OAox2C
“Can’t park here,” he replied. I scoffed and shook my head. I haven’t heard a lamest excuse.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxmwER3lFa

“Whatever,” I mumbled and unfastened my seatbelt.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgOz1W6KvK

“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5h3FmIQqV
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnQXfD0prr
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5cTpwU6kh
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLqmPhNKav
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5O1UUPLJz
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrRREqnby1
Once we got inside James apartment, I got out of my coat and asked Damien if he wanted anything to drink.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGulL8sht0S
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZT0B8jdlw
“You sleep here I assume?” he smiled as he sat down on the couch.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKc9sa7cgG
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPBwgdfrmI
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gQ1VKJyiI
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRiJTWIPS3
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb6rvclFeY
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpGfDM7ZH4
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzgmznuZA8
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtqBX62jQI
“Hurry to get dressed?” Damien asked with a smirk on his lips.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI2qTONFsa
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8Qs9bkG9t
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zkx1KHADH
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1bRDxcAu2
“I’ve missed you,” I whispered; my voice hoarse as his lips moved to my neck.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D6d06j7hg
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD3ZCmqOF3
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvJhOospbu
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyJTgCLNTh
“Got any condoms with you?” I mumbled against his lips.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8eszQWJL7

“Yeah,” he nodded and kissed my neck.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHjsP9bySA
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegWINVFp71
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWaVPGCvIp

529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05lXIvpfco
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNnD3ekNBi

“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi1DNOBmtO

“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j4JuZCZ29

“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeHaVD8vrZ

“ehh,” he said and exhaled the smoke. “The company will give me an apartment, car, alimentation, three trips per year for holidays,” he explained. I bit my lip to keep my frown masked.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC2r61X1fv

“Um,” I mumbled and took a breath “When are you leaving?”529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VFIaMHw6u

“In two weeks,” he sighed and leaned over to the coffee table to put the cigarette stub in the ashtray.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXRhlKiKmg

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomTyLSd0B9

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEbH1hbYjd

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWERsuyNmF

“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyeoY4GlKj
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23DoMNgIHx
“Hi,” I called to Max.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRfKIEuuh9
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalshhHQEg1
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU8sIRqYz8
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc8uicvFlv
“Wait,” I said and took the phone from his hand.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3OFh1pDTs

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNbQXVKvHT

“Stalker!” I mocked and put the phone next to him.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOx7SzSFnT

“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV87RKPd3eU
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0clwLDxnHn
“More of what?” I frowned and pulled back.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS44gQsSDBI
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfikoCSEkW
“More photographs of you,” he raised his eyebrows.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnjB6XZ7m1

“You better show me,” I narrowed my eyes as he shifted in front of me to put the cigarette in the ashtray.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhErtIslzDm

“No,” he shook his head. “You won’t let me keep them,” he explained.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1RipLHDj6
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhs4hybMfU
“What the hell? You have nude pictures?” I frowned and grabbed the device again.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENqGrVq0x0
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhWxwwbZWP
“Don’t!” he warned.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMukPjnRsnj

“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdBVYulLnL
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgXnSuAGun
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkTwJsLvkZ

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzeNasOPhg

“You haven’t asked me one thing,” he whispered, his heartbeat quickening and he released my hands; his face going serious.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD9YNXEAgL
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7GmF4hsiO
“What?” I asked.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC6FTWAqSq
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pCJpXrF7q
“Not to go,” he replied. I felt my heart beating like a drum set. I put my hands on either side of his head.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc0NEvHZC4

“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz166CG4UOh
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72u05F1TG2
“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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD01L8gTAKM
