I jumped up and run towards the door when the doorbell rang. I had to leave as soon as possible. I was suffocating.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JyirUR6JA
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiFpMuqVKg
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaiZxUkhqf
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOvcDy7LoQ
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjkq4pbHdB
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUhAZ0ePfk
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl0ZYpOPuv
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8bu0HoKVu
“It wasn’t necessary,” he replied.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYaLYB60eW
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE15UazQOkR
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOBr5TVmTa
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡellsquBLcD
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidEugWDbCB
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PM3dl9EJK
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEis9nFWm0
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDYZ4rKXRD
“What’s that supposed to mean?” he frowned.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaA4TN9KiF
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZeMGRTAZq
“Nothing,” I lied “I’ll stay with James for a while,” I mumbled “I need to calm down, obviously.”547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobCDqv5fRm
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjghSglZPf1
“Your semester finals are in ten days,” he frowned.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjU7Va8Hu0
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gT2RZstDd
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TS46YYjHh
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlw692OFsc
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdngz49Nira
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOM8UJwhkn
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyZaF3VHKj
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2QiXm3lxW
“Are you sure, your bug will take you up there?” he smiled. I narrowed my eyes took a step back.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawYFdhW1om
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRLiuX8BJ1
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVKN4D8CNo
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQqQLy3mAb
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrpvhyhz86
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bVW1jUyhI
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDc1uXvVys

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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjRg4EDB6u
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLp7zBRukV
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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLjvOVymAk
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy2dHcjOwm
“When are you coming home?” Damien asked while we were on the phone.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2zURuXWnw
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3o2bllsWT
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1xsnWJkdG
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyNpc6bFQa
“I’ll try and talk to her,” he said.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAV49MBhzG
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEQamRQta0
“Please, don’t argue because of me,” I pleaded.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTVIStYUT3
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs5t6gUyRQ
“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!”547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjgtb43Vgv
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k5QiWwk5o
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUutuuyGeV
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAtDHze5iG
“That sounded like a goodbye, Erica,” he said and I could hear his frown.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49hfh7Zw4T
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9Arq1D0yW
“It’s not a goodbye you dramatic fool,” I replied.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhbEedclJU
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5tgN58vGz
“If I’m being dramatic, then what are you?” he mocked.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqgeZxolXx
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dPQbeuu3U
“Overdramatic?” I tried to make a joke.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8KuvDejl8
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvwIJbORQe
“I’m coming over tomorrow, to see you,” he said; completely changing the subject.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCpeRpf00v
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOdEcChkwh
“You don’t have to drive all the way up here,” I frowned. Even if I miss your pretty face so much!547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMZrmADToO
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ7bvoqIE9
“If you don’t want me to come, just tell me,” he breathed. He really was being overdramatic.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55UfiOLSzM
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRiJ4rV9vg
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE483MRnN1
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlKMe43rXs
“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.”547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zGxo3CCPS
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI0g6gXvDK
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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVUCSbi1m9
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWSb7hxixE
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?547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZvuWdNZT1
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreahLjDccl
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?547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOw9y8uosZ
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDLuOe2xl3

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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHt99jngZi
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORYkHL0tuk
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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff7FIaG9Uh
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNPgxF6ovR
“Missed me?” I grinned after I fastened my seatbelt and turned towards him. I looked at him, trying to take in his form.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpmGw5WFZr
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeouttTtHT
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9BbbELykC
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEBEWc00su
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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgja8JC6NK
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxgzOZAHbO
“Don’t I get a kiss?”547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1UmBqPIKh
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneP7Ndq1eo
“You didn’t miss me,” I raised my eyebrows pretending not to care. I pulled away and took a step away from him.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY5fUgaWvW
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveni4Q1qGr
“Come here,” he smirked and gripped my wrist; pulling me back.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf33ZyjUSK
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQUkkrEJo4
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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uQwTsvA1Q
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd3zDqwwQm
“I’ll shave if you come back,” he offered; the small dimple visible on his left cheek.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWPXaDPK2o
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKjxynWZ3b
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzhax4P8Qt

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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeb1FFIT8V
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7spnkzziwX
«“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr5mRhTmq2
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ794sOHN9cp
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaViehbo3O
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RLV88mFJZ
“No it wasn’t,” I shook my head “I’m just…” I winced and looked at the table; the words abandoning me.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao4l7IWTMN
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZcxTrSnrl
“Yeah,” he breathed sounding disappointed.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzYZxJAKf1
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjAnfcA0UC
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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiKglJZWac
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAMePm43Ys
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfj5XacooX
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK6G689Dob
“Yeah,” I replied.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa22Cqw2orx
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcRh36eIZu
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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QtRg5iS1Y
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sfLjVbHfX
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpgtTjJbBZ
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hjp6BQQxd
“Can’t park here,” he replied. I scoffed and shook my head. I haven’t heard a lamest excuse.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUeO8CULZo

“Whatever,” I mumbled and unfastened my seatbelt.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUw3g44QhP

“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFWJBy1nk5
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslStnCK66f
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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdmEGDkwQE
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1hEkFzhQL
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhs1Fkxqor
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHKJRmEIsX
Once we got inside James apartment, I got out of my coat and asked Damien if he wanted anything to drink.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHjFxFcFrL
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ueW8MCKPD
“You sleep here I assume?” he smiled as he sat down on the couch.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKWn7R9XyX
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxK0ZCTvEO
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIhsr89V2f
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFZgGhNlKw
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrfRnWxaUB
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gn8Sv91p9
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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYzS1K2oDW
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN79bHTyfM
“Hurry to get dressed?” Damien asked with a smirk on his lips.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEKcwQXyx4
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAfAlsIS9u
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJZShBzMUr
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrtvqWqo9o
“I’ve missed you,” I whispered; my voice hoarse as his lips moved to my neck.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnbNQvZUSq
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZHpGIyM0b
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gmWekEVzu
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg46um4NT3
“Got any condoms with you?” I mumbled against his lips.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesVUGXotdh

“Yeah,” he nodded and kissed my neck.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIiRMTyvDz
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Fu0vdyjB
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJRzGSpRcV

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE752ACGrh
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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiyBQW2Ebx

“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD55En6cXs8

“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcDXXPX9Y8

“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtObmiRcNCr
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVa23eXhAZ

“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3qtOAgG4S

“In two weeks,” he sighed and leaned over to the coffee table to put the cigarette stub in the ashtray.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAH8WVMaZH

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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMVl3a6CRj

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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3CJ751inV

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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4ajhFms2C

“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M1E8cQfwk
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E4c0qFUQu
“Hi,” I called to Max.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3SKUcKsPe
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVyVGeZ0Oc
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylmXGJKtji
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMTOHHvfCs
“Wait,” I said and took the phone from his hand.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP2gebRX1O

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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTlPW01Rwo

“Stalker!” I mocked and put the phone next to him.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUedIvlPne6

“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGn1xv5LGq
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTDGhKgqVB
“More of what?” I frowned and pulled back.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP8uZ61cYe
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPhIr7ErOu
“More photographs of you,” he raised his eyebrows.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l8SxvGoac

“You better show me,” I narrowed my eyes as he shifted in front of me to put the cigarette in the ashtray.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC0jgrH9Cm

“No,” he shook his head. “You won’t let me keep them,” he explained.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLwkWa6ijY
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVGEc28NSY
“What the hell? You have nude pictures?” I frowned and grabbed the device again.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6If40BObk
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHONURi6hf3
“Don’t!” he warned.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkUrYKjURq

“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaw0reKKoZ
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7SS68r5US
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcaVRlfGLV
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYnQo7ltZj
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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6UZMTYrGs

“You haven’t asked me one thing,” he whispered, his heartbeat quickening and he released my hands; his face going serious.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8giSzG1zks
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpNxHkUKEH
“What?” I asked.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5I2YyYceY
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzKOOwvdeV
“Not to go,” he replied. I felt my heart beating like a drum set. I put my hands on either side of his head.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBEjBOsDuL

“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y6RjNINZM
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqpMiAoxVS
“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.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWojDJNE0b
