Chapter 7 - Overwhelming Feelings

I froze. My thoughts were all over the place. What should we do? And where are we standing right now in our relationships? Will the whole Europe know that we fucked in this toilet?

- Take your clothes and go into a cabin, fast! - said Damiano, putting on his clothes and grabbing shoes.

I ran through the nearest door and locked it. Then I carefully adjusted my dress, but one thing went missing - my underwear. And I don't remember at all where did it fall. What if it was hanging on the ceiling and the first thing a person entering would see are my panties.

I exited the cabin and heard voiced behind the wall. Damiano was nowhere to be seen, but the window was open. He escaped using the fucking window, jumping from the 2nd floor. No goodbye, no thank you, no see you soon.

Finally, the restroom was opened by a man with a toolbox. Behind him I could see Victoria and Gjon who were looking worried. Once they saw me, they instantly hugged me.

- What happened? - asked Gjon. - We were looking for you for 30 minutes.

- Sorry guys, I went to the toilet and the lock broke. I didn't take me phone and the music was so loud that even if I were screaming, no one would hear me. So I decided to wait. You know, people out there are drinking and this is the only restroom in the club, so someone would definitely come.

- Gosh, you scared us. No one noticed when you left the dance floor. I called at our hotel's reception and they said that you weren't in your room. - said Victoria through tears. - Do not go anywhere without telling someone where are you going, especially when you are in a foreign country.

- Ok guys, I am so sorry for my sudden disappearance. I promise, I won't do it again, you right.

- By the way, have you seen Damiano? I am not so worried about him, this guy does what he wants to do. He is either already sleeping in a hotel or strolling through Rotterdam's streets.

- Um, no, - I lied. - I haven't seen him on the dance floor either, so maybe he had left earlier.

- Strange, but ok, he is not responding to my texts, so I am becoming a little bit perplexed. - replied Victoria.

- You know what, - I suddenly said, - I think I am gonna return back to the hotel now, so I can check on him if you want.

- Oh, that would be great. Here, I have a spare card key from his room as we often hang out late in the night together. Text me if he is there.

The elevator stopped at the 13th floor and produced a loud "ding" sound. I stepped out of it and looked around. If his room was located right above mine, I should turn to the left.

I am not going to tolerate his shit this time. I need answers for his behaviour during the last 2 days. When I entered the room, it was quiet. Too quiet for someone to be there.

- Hey, is anybody here? - I shouted silently.

No answer. Where is he?

Then I saw a small ray of light coming from the bathroom. I tiptoed and looked through the cracked door. Damiano was lying in the water, his eyes closed. He looked very peaceful and ... tired? I noticed traces of tears on his cheeks. What is going on?

- Hey, - I said quietly.

He half-opened his eyes and nodded. He didn't move, he didn't say a word. I hesitated for a moment, then undressed and got into the bath on the opposite side.

The water was still hot which means that he wasn't sitting here for a long time. I took a glance at his face once again and turned my back to him, adjusting my body between his legs. Damiano carefully put his hand around my waist, hugging me. His head finally landed on mine and I heard a silent sigh.

- I am scared, - he said gently, - and I am lost.

- I am scared too, - I replied.

And just like that our conversation ended. Damiano was holding me tight and caressed my hair. The last thing I remember - he kissed me on the forehead and then came the darkness.
