I jumped up and run towards the door when the doorbell rang. I had to leave as soon as possible. I was suffocating.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8oZHiLKap
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72EEqhqLWv
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxZWz6tvu3
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1BskG87oy
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjcF9nq2Sj
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuiDPvF871
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqjRUBJ35D
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4WAhjOWSp
“It wasn’t necessary,” he replied.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbmgvKK30H
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfKJW8jgAD
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiB87LHDNH
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi0OC3V0p3
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrq412RUYS
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVue0AM2iW0
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjjbBNmt8F
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzru89XIgaS
“What’s that supposed to mean?” he frowned.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesGD0wgdSn
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7h0NYZ1Qj
“Nothing,” I lied “I’ll stay with James for a while,” I mumbled “I need to calm down, obviously.”454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMCOYWp1xc
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8DkRi4a0P
“Your semester finals are in ten days,” he frowned.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLXi06XVem
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb06frPyLNz
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZj8VauxMR
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTyZx7pNcN
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJGmwfaKRC
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyPZadcYZv
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNA5Ip5K8l
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikZ6YMw9Md
“Are you sure, your bug will take you up there?” he smiled. I narrowed my eyes took a step back.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbcQwk2OkE
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUZWmqYd5R
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0TBm6I6JV
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWd1ut6ypG
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorWS0dMSTQ
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx1ahQxY72
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UcpPYRfWr

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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlfFDu7Pvi
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHTzAuHQ6H
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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v4XnbfWaK
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmnz6IncZP
“When are you coming home?” Damien asked while we were on the phone.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHFB4LTYrn
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj8YJRSiul
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcPzkR1HTI
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvyoxSLfOa
“I’ll try and talk to her,” he said.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdeZTmWQQ5
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN8MFvBMZV
“Please, don’t argue because of me,” I pleaded.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1kfS7R05C
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglvKHwBGXE
“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!”454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaqwU8xXA8
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5YI8eKaSM
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKLNAcz6Eo
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToMMc5HxDd
“That sounded like a goodbye, Erica,” he said and I could hear his frown.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVqfqsmCdT
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3fLAXbasu
“It’s not a goodbye you dramatic fool,” I replied.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBHc3PtVPl
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjBUlPyhxJ
“If I’m being dramatic, then what are you?” he mocked.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vDlJITnuB
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuhgs1iifb
“Overdramatic?” I tried to make a joke.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1bBCPczVA
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0HtgRl7Tz
“I’m coming over tomorrow, to see you,” he said; completely changing the subject.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4SLdKOCj9
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzELSWe2qTB
“You don’t have to drive all the way up here,” I frowned. Even if I miss your pretty face so much!454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAunHuwuUh
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIWTdnVclP
“If you don’t want me to come, just tell me,” he breathed. He really was being overdramatic.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZMIYmylyj
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hwGz5aRyp
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLDCEHrY0m
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY5jQQ2EPg
“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.”454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hPqtRKyZh
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5JHlT8t8D
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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHH8ht2ddt
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlTM02QHbR
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?454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsCFWfqGlg
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojKEp9r2iY
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?454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFtHbUXLV1
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeq3IP21IJ
I was going insane; overthinking and overanalyzing.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJVTd2d1Er

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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrldgTTeZb
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunmvvMP5tB
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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmp9VHlu7c
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0xTR8Nauh
“Missed me?” I grinned after I fastened my seatbelt and turned towards him. I looked at him, trying to take in his form.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo4ZGp1hTs
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLpgjpunxD
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0I69UG5hP
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG2W3vw6pv
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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKkucwSIrK
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMWQ5dgNSG
“Don’t I get a kiss?”454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ904kzJXPbg
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ4MUXROBI
“You didn’t miss me,” I raised my eyebrows pretending not to care. I pulled away and took a step away from him.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SkI5Chk1a
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6T0bvkWku
“Come here,” he smirked and gripped my wrist; pulling me back.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeCc9Ioq4S
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhsRYtTVDg
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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiZckqLXQY
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpYdJYQ4kV
“I’ll shave if you come back,” he offered; the small dimple visible on his left cheek.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcnlAwwWxl
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sYeiDexCN
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilyhYrDKBs

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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokz7YMVfFl
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkS9KOcKWf
«“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FXOqJ3JIE
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAIIKD8XBn
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspq9iytgC0
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaznLBVWFk
“No it wasn’t,” I shook my head “I’m just…” I winced and looked at the table; the words abandoning me.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm8fnr2OeT
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8erJTvYZk
“Yeah,” he breathed sounding disappointed.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXTH4MzGb9
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJdJUMmau7
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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8SLd4nfnd
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYICZncGpNV
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoPofenlda
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQLZDwdA0n
“Yeah,” I replied.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu2qtgKqwN
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkeW8KrMl2
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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeMKz7VOWu
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPqEklnAd2
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8hT6Szz1L
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYCzkdlpaQ
“Can’t park here,” he replied. I scoffed and shook my head. I haven’t heard a lamest excuse.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzXcPjDXvr

“Whatever,” I mumbled and unfastened my seatbelt.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WjtO8dwhM

“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1WI6QvKOs
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdf9xVklmg
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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bIGUukmhx
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zfmtl5SRU
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0rTfqNZnk
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTcZRuW7Jw
Once we got inside James apartment, I got out of my coat and asked Damien if he wanted anything to drink.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2R0C4KWEj
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtJ08oM4a9
“You sleep here I assume?” he smiled as he sat down on the couch.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TihyEhATI
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2PQieFCLg
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYFyZk4aVo
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAZGMinkcc
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XSfejwWc8
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBQfLenNpG
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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LByBU0tu8
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSONBrTZv0q
“Hurry to get dressed?” Damien asked with a smirk on his lips.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSi7kG1zYK
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp8oyTUfhK
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylvkGycGE9
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZykosl1H74
“I’ve missed you,” I whispered; my voice hoarse as his lips moved to my neck.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WPP3iPjY0
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZXozFg7ok
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjnusF4XDq
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnQKK9J8Sb
“Got any condoms with you?” I mumbled against his lips.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa9IUn4T2x

“Yeah,” he nodded and kissed my neck.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzvAbpQwbF
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLMUAssgfN
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmakhCAnI4

454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHOKDmastf
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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIGIgfsQgs
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITpiTf9IDD

“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IIwII0Qkp

“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsAGFx2COw

“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLCBjTSUTP

“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTIx3RP5WB

“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDBqH8dCTQ

“Um,” I mumbled and took a breath “When are you leaving?”454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0URikwdhw

“In two weeks,” he sighed and leaned over to the coffee table to put the cigarette stub in the ashtray.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKDyoDCDgL

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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjz8nW4a3G

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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9rdISJ3ve

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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xQ8o6diAM

“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPITpO6VG9j
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6FXD5H63S
“Hi,” I called to Max.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRvBOfseIT
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y589plAjc
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZgQwH5BrD
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx7dFcnQyH
“Wait,” I said and took the phone from his hand.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1KHsTzmow

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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIUghITRLV

“Stalker!” I mocked and put the phone next to him.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wbWMGj1X2

“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUO9Bm3EJn
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUJGO7Viq5
“More of what?” I frowned and pulled back.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN926byFYT7
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d9hyEaKfP
“More photographs of you,” he raised his eyebrows.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9qLRWZsna

“You better show me,” I narrowed my eyes as he shifted in front of me to put the cigarette in the ashtray.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhOsl1Ht15
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc1qvg0pob
“No,” he shook his head. “You won’t let me keep them,” he explained.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0KrWDiTWs
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCZ5jbcLb0
“What the hell? You have nude pictures?” I frowned and grabbed the device again.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9R3ZW6aVT
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2TxnXHFn6
“Don’t!” he warned.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdodvB0cNdL

“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3I7TzFTGX
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcABuOHFzan
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztUVwmHQvP

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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4WsxgLb8B

“You haven’t asked me one thing,” he whispered, his heartbeat quickening and he released my hands; his face going serious.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz9bwNfExT
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOzudeUq5s
“What?” I asked.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcvTHGaN4r
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC5XAtuxKt
“Not to go,” he replied. I felt my heart beating like a drum set. I put my hands on either side of his head.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rDDkXyi9Q

“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhNb2VZYgO
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJw9KfXsKa
“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.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavN9AzCc9M
