We reach Beverly hills. I pull over on the motor court and we get out of the car. I hand the keys to the security guard to park the car in the garage. I hold Jen's hand and lead her to the entry door of my house. I enter the passcode and the door pivot opens. We enter and I catch a glance of Jen, her eyes are going through the house.
"You want a drink?" I ask.
"No. I'm good," she answer's.
She's still looking up and down and around the house. She did the same at my parents house too. I know it's bigger than her apartment, so I can understand the fascination and her bewitching. And why wouldn't she, the interior space is above 10,500 sqft, so it's obvious.
"You live alone here?" She furrows her brows.
"Yes," I chuckle and hug her from behind.
"How? I mean, it's huge. I would lose my mind living in such place."
"I'm used to it now," I say. Then I hold her hand and walk to the living room area and we take a seat on the sofa.
I put my arm around her neck and She rests her head on my shoulder and is again lost in her thoughts. I wonder what she's thinking? Wait!..... Jen and Brian were talking earlier. Shit!!! Did Brian tell something to her about me? Does she knows something now? I need to know.
"What were you and Brian talking?" I ask, my mind doesn't stop questing.
She inhales deep, "about you," she says.
"What about me?" Now I'm afraid. I don't want her to know things about me from someone else. I want to tell her myself.
She looks up at me, "about how you spent this past two years."
"So, did he tell you the reason also then?"
"No," she shakes her head. "He said that, it's better that I know it from you rather then him," Jen continues.
"Do you want to know?" I ask.
Honestly, I don't want to tell her even though she has the right to know, I don't want to remember that shit again when I'm happy here with Jen. But if she really wants to know, I'll tell her.
"Only if you want to tell me. I won't ask you," mutters Jen.
What? Can she read my mind? This girl can really see through me.
"I don't know what happened but I can tell that it was bad, and I don't want you to remember it again.........I can't completely erase that incident from your life, but atleast I can try to not let you go back in that state again from which you took yourself out," says Jen. Her voice is low and there's compassion in her eyes.
I caress her jaw and neck and look straight into her eyes,
"You're the one who pulled me out of the dark. You make me happy, it's because of you I could find myself again. This utter contentment, I've only felt with you, and it's always going to be you Jen."
She gazes at me with all the love she has for me. I can make out, how much she loves me by just looking into her eyes, and I give my all to her for as long as we are together.
I want to love her right now, make her mine, each and every bit of her. I bring her lips on mine, and I kiss her like there's no tomorrow for us. She kisses me back which drives me more crazy. I cup the back of her head and kiss her hard. But living room is not the place. I prep to stand up, holding her hands and not leaving her lips, while she's still seated.
"What you're doing?" She's bemused.
"Let's go to bed," I say and stand up straight.
She stands too and I lead her to my bedroom. I open the door of my room and let her walk in first. I amble behind her, locking the door behind me. It's dark, with only natural light of the night. She checks out my room, while I take off my shoes, wallet and phone from the pocket, and watch from my wrist. She turns around and glances at me. She too, then, takes off her heels, but not taking her eyes off me. That shy-and-wild-at-the-same-time expression of her is back and I can't resist that. I stride towards her and jump on her, grabbing her face with both hands and kiss her passionately, like I never had her before. I play my tongue with hers, I love the taste of hers that I can't have enough of it.
