When Alex came back from France, he invited me over for dinner. At first I thought to decline his invitation. But he was so polite on the phone that make me rethink my initial decision. I tried to think that that was the only reason; the fact that was unbelievably handsome had to stay out of my mind. I was very nervous about the date. I wasn’t even sure if it was a date. But going from a non date period into dating a wealthy, handsome man it was quite the change.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNwLLRcbRS

The security guard at the gate let me in without making me stop; I guess he had orders to let in an old-ready-to-die WV beetle.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCHmf93gX6
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFDBWNiasH
I parked near the front door. As soon as I got out of the car; the doors flew open. An old man, dressed in tux, greeted me, and guided me to Alex’s office. He kind of reminded me of Batman’s butler.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fJpRGpY7J
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubsoMGpraD
He knocked on the large door and we both went in when we heard Alex call a “Come in.”471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uwDcwlVwl
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywA5OtaVOS
“Good afternoon”, he was smiling, walking half away the room towards me “Thank you, Morris,” he said to the old man.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WVizBlNIV
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr1bz3hL2j
“Good afternoon,” I grinned, my thoughts still on batman. I walked up to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv1LMaRxMl
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyZSTpJoqc
“You have a weird smile on your face,” he smiled; arching his eyebrow, also smiling.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO7zg1HWxZ
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fLHzVqO0H
“This,” I waved towards the doors that Morris just closed “Reminded me of Batman.”471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkIujW8Ti9
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iQdCqBUKu
“Damn,” he frowned “I came with the Porsche the other day to keep my cover,” he winced and he both laugh.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPLzmmoz8i
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA3CxGSQSx
“So, how was France Mr. Wane?” I smirked.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O326B7645
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzWmaWMfAI
“Okay,” he chuckled “It was a business trip, so..” he said and turned towards me “Let’s go to the dining room,” and I followed him out the door.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9C2P9bHNx
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabc6saM5Oa
“How was your party?” he asked as we walked down the stairs.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpIhGqtRQU
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVX31Hvxvz
“Very good; the usual, we danced, we drank and got drunk,” I laughed as we entered a big room.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIDjncGU7T
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLRxx2RNij
It matched the mansion of course; everything was old and valuable. In the middle of the room was an unbelievable long table, but we sat near each other; He on the head of the table and me on his left. Soft jazz music was feeling the room.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpiYrbgker
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dIuyvbOG5
“Are you happy with the results?” he asked out of the blue while we were eating the very well cooked and tasteful lunch. I looked at him, his brown eyes looking straight into mine.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK7zuMJqNQ
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR2gBaUIV9
“It’s the best architecture university. I wanted to get away but the school is very good,” I confessed.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96DGcX3nhK
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHjeJrQe8R
“Are you happy?” he repeated. I guess I haven’t answered his actual question.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCF5Bq04dN
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u5HRFu0id
“Sort of. I’ll meet new people on campus so, that’s a nice change.”471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2VYpeqHwy
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0kO1BC6wL
“If you decide for something different, I can talk to College Deans to get you in without application,” he said simply. I was astonished he would do that for me.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23BYsAIIzh
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFZdvmbcsm
“I’ll keep that in mind Bruce,” I grinned as two waiters served us the desert. He chuckled again; a beautiful smile forming on his lips.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP5sQMbpP4
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmnFZP0qGq
Silence fell between us as the song changed; Ella Fitzgerald’s voice echoed through the room.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9X7uI9Dli
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU3x5jiiVs
“I love this song,” I whispered; closing my eyes for a moment.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31kRmUOs2K
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAUgfEO1Sz
“Dance with me,” he said a bit louder than me. I turned my eyes towards me to see if he was serious. He smiled and got up; stretching his right hand towards me.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgeilWqZAm
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi5LBsuyrt
I smiled back and took his hand. He put one hand on my waist while with the other put mine around his neck and then rest his own my waist too.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAyBrEdK1o
I felt so blissful. I also felt shy so I looked over his shoulder as I felt his eyes on my face.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0kKIaLumY
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l03V9j96O
He turned my face towards his with his index finger. My lips parted as I wanted him to lean down and kiss me. My eyes never left his as he slowly leaned closer to my face. Only inches were between us. I knew that if I let him kiss me, there will be no turning back. My feelings will overpower my mind. But, by being here, I was already doing that; because my mind was telling me to stay away from him.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg280aesAEi
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFqaxNoKbK
“We’ve talked about this,” I whispered taking half a step back.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiTlEE8rwv
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcg3pzkPuR
“No we haven’t,” he said and it was true as I had only said an excuse and nothing more. “You just said you can’t. Is there someone else?”471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pWbDNdUSa
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqKwkti39N
“I wouldn’t be here if there was,” and I walked away from him “I have to go,” I said walking to the table to find my bag “Thank you very much, I had a great time,” I said and walked out the door before he would say something. Ella was still singing in the background.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zkCf6zmij
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayA0JpuObX
I went straight home listening to loud and fast music on my way. I wanted to crawl in my bed and go to sleep. Tomorrow, I would think this over, with a head clean of all the feelings that he rushed into me.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAG60CqV97

I had to stop thinking. Actually, I have to stop thinking about him. I couldn’t though.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxRaE3ycsW
I was lying in my bed, staring at the beige ceiling for an hour now. I was wondering what it would be like to be with him. The taste of his lips and the feel of his touch.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmnGXk9KdY
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViyYtEbMMN
He wasn’t right for me. I want to love and be loved. He didn’t believe in love. I ignored all his calls and messaged; I needed time to think. He wasn’t right for me; I would get hurt. But when love knocks on your door, either you’re gonna let him in or pretend you’re deaf.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLWIXYFoAW
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVFRDJdlJy
Until he breaks down the door.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpauNq4zUl
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynS70gXyeO
For now, I am the one who’s going to have a break down however. I took my car keys and went to my car. I drove to a clearing just outside town, where I like sitting with the twins every now and then. I liked the fresh air there.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUSHN24vY3
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAKJnvEQya
I killed the engine and stayed in the car, enjoying the silence, until it was interrupted by the sound of an approaching car. A fast car, who whoever was behind the wheel, surely didn’t know how to read the speed limits. I looked on my rearview mirror only to see an expensive black car coming towards me. I frowned and turn my eyes forward. I had a feeling who that was. There weren’t a lot of people in this town driving the new-yet-to-be-on-sale Mercedes; especially that careless.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6HQEhsBqG
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXrD9pdQty
Why is he torturing me? I groaned frowning and got out of the car. He parked next to my beetle and got out. He was amazingly handsome today; part of the torture I guess. He was wearing black pants and a black t-shirt. That was a first.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEifA7PF3sz
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4LOE7DdF7
“Took the batmobile out for a ride?” I asked, leaning back against my car; the sarcasm clear on my voice.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYg8bgPY1C
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7eV42jiC8
“You’re avoiding me,” he accused me. He had an arrogant look in his eyes “Why?” he demanded putting his hands in his pockets.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXthHIkL48
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nDOc1kQss
“No I’m not,” I lied “I'm just busy,” I tried to sound indifferent. He let out a laugh.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYieAqIwg0
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi4UrLxFpT
“I was raised in lies and excuses love and you, believe me, you’re not capable of lying to me,” he smiled at me. I looked at him for a moment; I couldn’t identify the look in his eyes. It’s the first time I’ve seen him like this; he was intimidating.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1KV6JhDSO
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4kxsLsxfo
After the second attempt to kiss me, I was avoiding his calls and messages, knowing that he would want an explanation that I wasn’t ready to give. But by the look of him right now, he wasn’t the kind of man that would tolerate avoidance.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW7QtjDS4a
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh39YyW7wY
“I'm not avoiding you,” I sighed defeated.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqT0pkXVMB
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS7vxfen8I
“What is it then?”471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMoUGCtgmx
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbJXOZZt3q
“I'm avoiding what I feel about you, I guess,” I whispered not looking at him. Admitting that I had some kind of feelings towards him was already too much.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjgE6VeEC9
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDGtSQU02Q
He came closer, putting a finger on my chin to turn my face.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdnLDoM4ua
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRQew7gL7p
“Erica, I thought it was clear from the beginning,” he said and when I didn’t say anything he decided to be more clear “I like you.”471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a7MPiNN8p
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r9HmUgcH5
“I know, but we’re so different Alex,” I could feel my cheeks going red.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLcYXEI6aa
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0BIChQpEu
“Only time will judge that,” he said, moving even closer now. I could smell his cologne; my head was thinking clearly.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh75mmXYALD
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVphC0I9LFl
“You don’t give time to your relationships,” I whispered while he waited “I need time to give someone what I have to give,” I explained.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSHk6tUrWi
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFueRkR8lVJ
“Things will flow their way,” he replied quietly. I bit my lip fidgeting.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgvpgvSPJy
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMudmctoDsP
He put his hand against my cheek and as soon as our eyes met his lips crushed mine. My lips parted as I was trying to catch my breath and I felt his tongue brushing my bottom lip. I let out a sigh and open my lips to let his tongue meet mine. I could see why all those women were crazy about him. He put one hand on my waist pushing me closer to his body; my hands against the sides of his neck.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqshK9CnMO
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKaBDlpsqA
After a long and amazing moment, we broke the kiss. Now what? I liked the fact that he didn’t promised anything; he didn’t promised that we will have time nor that this would work.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX183oNtIGy
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MrJZgIZWe
“I have a favor to ask,” I said and he waited “Don’t tell anybody about what happened,”471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3dv2TDYiF
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SQpDmLdWR
“I'm not going to ask why, but I’ll respect your wish. Not that anyone have a say to what I do.”471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99ykogU1Xt
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aKWWguFP0
“Yeah, that makes one of us,” I sighed. I was thinking about my friends. Actually I don’t think they were going to be difficult about this. The only person’s opinion I was afraid was Damien's. He was clear that he thought Alex wasn’t for me; he was the one putting all those thoughts inside my head to begin with.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFInlsJJz1

It’s been a week since Alex and I kissed. It’s been a week since we were together and still haven’t told Max or Cleo. I'm scared that when this ends, I’ll just be another one of his conquests; another woman on his list. I another girl on his list.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m62AKaeW0
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvdt6xjY1z
I know that he had relationships with gorgeous, rich and famous women and I can’t really see what he sees in me. I tried to focus on the positive parts of this; having a man like that being interested in you, builds up your confidence.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhwsvpHqa4
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtaIr7AlPZ
He's away on a business trip for the past three days and I have to admit I felt a bit anxious during that time. The fact that he called me whenever he could, helped decrease that feeling. In the mid time, Jamie had come back home and helped things; I wasn't feeling so alone when he was around the house. However, I couldn't share this with him. I had to talk to Cleo. I’ve had enough of this secrecy; so I dialed her number.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjtyISgGfL
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXibjOaYsYY
“Can you come over?”471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPhN6aLF4B

“Sure. Is something wrong?” she asked and I could hear the frustration in her voice.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jcu5VfsUZ
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi78RjIQGYP
“Er, wrong, right…I have no idea!” I winced.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNq3oerC32
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnKGDHvxgR
“I have no idea what are you talking about but I’ll be there in ten minutes,” she said and hang up.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNDpYhM0FA

She was over at my place in fifteen minutes. We got ice tea and sat in my room, on the comfy couch facing my bed. I put my glass on the table between the couch and my bed before sitting down. How do I get this out? I took the glass in my hands again.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv22pwtYzo
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcdBw9TnXI
“You’re freaking me out,” she said staring at me fidgeting.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ4fbLOEWr

“I'm with Alex, since last week,” I said quickly.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrGKteBGJz
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JbUAJc8eM
“Huh?” her jaw dropped “As in Alexander White?” her eyes widened when I nodded “You slut!” she smiled.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53k24ertSB

“Why the hell did you hide this from me?” she yelled for a moment “Dude, have you got any idea how many women want in his bed? Not school girls. Famous women! And you kept this for yourself?”471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CbNT87rkm
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGSnVbOg4P
“That’s exactly why I haven’t told anyone.”471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhcRagLCJP

“I'm not anyone,” she sounded hurt now. Damn.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxU4W4X7TR
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCG68QmuIo
“Of course you’re not!” I said quickly hugging her “But I don’t want to be another one of his women,” I mumbled. She didn’t say anything for that. One thing I loved about Cleo is that she knew when to keep quiet. This was a matter she couldn’t promise that it will be ok.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi9xR1phsq
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mGWvtgIr4
“Have you had sex?” she asked grinning after a while.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJutE0ezXZ

“Not yet. Want to go shopping?” I grinned back.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL21Y3AEx56

“Come on,” she said and dragged me off the couch.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YD1lMSIpS

An hour later, I had already bought two tops, that I would like to wear with my waistcoat and now she was dragging me to a lingerie store.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zMIg3zqlh
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtLzWeJOvc
“These two?” she held out an all lace bra and a bazilian underwear.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo2hkD7a85
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq3rKKEvvl
“Hate it,” and she let out a groan.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj2TVMg20p

“Those are nice,” I said.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU009AVUFYI

“Will take those in purple,” she said to the girl that was tailing us for half an hour.471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tfWuRwkwM
