Wild Love IX

Amada

If someone would ask me about one night stand before Celeste happened, I'd say I prefer to leave it as a one time thing, nothing else should follow 'cause that's basically the purpose of the said set up. A night of pleasure with someone you barely know, not exchanging real names to maintain the strangeness between each other. So, they don't have anything to hold with you. Though, she's more than a one night stand to begin with.

I didn't expect the party my best friend held will lead me to this; living with the woman I slept with that night. I wanted to deny it at first, I tried to jutified my claim by telling myself that it is convenient for her to stay for awhile in my place since we can't seem to get enough of each other. We're not really living in the same roof but one morning without her due to her business trip with my brother told me otherwise.

Suddenly, she's over the place. She's in every corner of my home even though she's not physically present. One of her scrunchies are on the nightstand together with my phone. Her pink toothbrush beside of my red one in the bathroom. Her clothes in my closet; I freed a few spaces for her. There are now white wines beside my red wines in the cellar because she prefer the white ones on specific occasions. Her smell dominates the entire bed room. Lastly, few of the corners smells citrus which was lavenders before; the former smell is her favorite fragrance which I grew a liking, it reminds me of her.

It feels nice, really. To be reminded that she's indeed sharing a place with me and it's not just a product of my imagination. However, what I don't like the most is that, her traces in the house reminds me that she's thousands of miles away from me. It makes me miss her terribly. An indication that I am becoming attached to her.

It shouldn't be a big deal or anything sort of but except it is!

"When you told me to celebrate with you for the success of our first launch, I didn't expect it would be here in your penthouse."

I invited Mads two days after the launch, there were formal parties held by my mother and couple of invitations from various business men and women in the industry, the reason why we're two days late of my desired way of celebration. I wanted to celebrate in my own way, to savor the success without the pressure of entertaining people I am not even interested with. A simple drinking of my favorite wine with my trusted persons is enough.

Sadly, one of my favorite persons are not here to celebrate with me. Celeste's in a business trip in Italy with my brother, their flight was the day after the launch which I was glad of. That explains why Mads is the only lass sitting on my couch in my living room. A movie playing no one pays attention to.

"You know I don't do grand parties on my own, Mads. I prefer the silence and safety of my home."

"I'm well aware. I just thought you would not want it here."

I frown as I swirl the wine through the glass.  She takes the wine bottle and pour her glass the red liquid. It's our second glass.

"Why would I not want it here?" I asked before taking a sip.

She hummed and leaned on the couch, facing my direction, "One," she raise one finger, emphasizing the word, "you've been missing a certain gal, so bad that you become so distracted even in work, and two, you spend less time in here because apparently everything in here reminds you of her. Seriously, how down bad are you, Fortalejo?"

I sighed and put down my glass on the center table, not minding to defend myself, it's the truth anyway.

"And since we're on this topic, I want to ask you a question I've been badly want to ask ever since the fitting sched." I nod my head in response, encouraging her to go on.
