Roses and Flame

Chapter 1

His hands were moving across my body when he said "I love you, Anna." He was the only one who shortened my name to Anna, but I never expected to hear those words from him. I must have had a weird expression on my face because he asked "Are you okay?" How could I tell him that this kinda complicates things between us, especially after what he said about dating? "Anna?" he asked again since I didn't answer. "Yeah, sorry, you just surprised me with that, that's all." 

"Well, if it makes you feel better, let's forget about it and have some fun, okay?" His way of having fun meant having sex. I lost my virginity to him. "Okay," I said and then started kissing him passionately while climbing in his lap and never breaking contact with our sealed lips. He grabbed my butt with his hand while my hands went up to his hair, slightly pulling at the roots - I knew he liked that since he moaned into my lips.

"Baby, why don't we lose the clothes? You make me so hard right now." He started undressing me. When I was completely naked he stared at me, his eyes focused mostly on my breasts and making me blush hard...

"Rosanna, are you ready? We can't be late!" my mother's voice woke me up. I didn't realize that after all this time I would still remember these moments so intensely. "And turn off that music!" mom called from downstairs. Then I heard what she was talking about - "Can't help falling in love" by Elvis Presley was playing on the loop on my computer. I quickly closed the browser and turned off my computer. One last glance at the mirror, I looked like a ghost - my white skin was even more white (if that was even possible) and my eyes looked like I haven't been sleeping for months. It's kinda true - I've been having trouble sleeping due to nightmares ever since... No, not today. I was ready as ready can be going to your own father's funeral. Grabbing my purse I quickly left my room cursing myself for still thinking about the boy who broke my heart. I can't keep doing that - it's not healthy nor good for people around me.

"You look like you could use this," said Daniela giving me a cup of coffee. I thanked her and felt so lucky to have her in my life, especially today when I needed to say the last goodbye to my father. I miss him. He was my best friend and thanks to him I fell in love with Elvis Presley's music in the first place. Not again down that rabbit hole...

"Girls, let's go, we can't be late!" said my mother going straight to the front door. Looking back at Daniela, we shared a quick smile and went after my mom. She was right, we can't be late, everyone else will be waiting for us anyways.
