Jennie
As the weeks skirted by, a familiar routine quickly developed. I awoke almost midday every day and leisurely watched a few television shows that were starting to become an addiction. Late in the evening I would prepare dinner just in time for Lisa, where we spent most evenings dinning on the balcony overlooking the breath-taking view of the city then end the night wrapped in each other's arms in Lisa's bed where apparently I had fully moved in too.
On the weekend afternoons after her regular morning football game with her friends, we would sometimes stroll through the busy streets with her ever present bodyguards discreetly behind us following our every move. It had been almost three months since I had been living with her and every day I lost piece of my heart to her.
She was nothing as described in the tabloids I had managed to pick up at the reception desk once down at the lobby. She was loving, gentle, caring, confident and extremely hard working. She was cocky and arrogant but it showed how much she believed in herself and her self-worth and that only added to her aura.
Spending so much time with someone like her, I learnt to value myself in the process. She taught me many little things and the most important was that wealth does not distinguish who you are as a person. She valued the little things in life even though she took full advantage of her race cars and cleaning service. She was fiercely protective of her sister and anyone within a mile could have seen that. Every day she spoke to her sister at least twice and a couple times she mentioned she had to visit her parents stopping for lunch during her office days. How can someone so sweet and generous not make you fall in love with them?
As foolish as I was, I knew she would never return my feelings but it comforted me knowing that in the present moment she belonged to me. When I eventually have to go it would ultimately break my already broken heart but I would walk on with the knowledge that I caused this one upon myself. In the future I may not have her but I would forever have her memories and I would hold that close as my greatest treasure.
She offered me a lifetime of happiness in the short time we were together. She gave me companionship and a leaning shoulder when I needed it the most. She became my rock and she taught me how to love again without even knowing it. I had already fallen. I love her. I love her with all my heart. I knew right then, that it was the moment to say goodbye if I ever wanted to save myself.
Whilst I waited on Lisa to return home from her Saturday football game I prepared a light lunch of a ham and cheese cucumber sandwich and some freshly squeeze lemonade I made from the bowl of juicy lemons that has been sitting atop the counter for many days now. Surprisingly enough we were blessed with warm weather after the continuous downpour.
Not long after Lisa made her way into the suite freshly showered and dressed down in a casual salmon coloured t-shirt that outlined her biceps and toned abs and a pair of well-worn denims that emphasised her hard legs and firm derriere.
"See something you like sweetheart?" she teased as she engulfed me into her arms and slowly captured my lips. Her sharp tongue diving into my mouth teasing, tasting and exploring as she easily lifted me up and set me atop the counter wrapping my legs around her torso. I was now eye level with her as her mouth continued teasing me. Her clean scent enveloped my senses. My hands fisted against her neatly pressed t-shirt as my mouth fought back until we pulled away pressing our foreheads against the other in taking much needed air.
"You're beginning to get under my skin Jennie." she said huskily as she tried to even her breathing. My heart cracked a little at her statement. She had already gotten under mine but I knew it was the most I would ever get out of her.
Pasting a smile onto my face I offered her lunch which she ate while telling me about the goal she scored. It was moments like these that I would miss the most. The moments in-between to allow me the fantasy of the life I desperately wished I had.
