Paul & Moi

Chapter 11

I wake up this morning in Paul's bed. I slept in one of his t-shirts that contain the smell of his perfume that I appreciate so much. I turn around to kiss him when I realize that he is no longer in bed. He left his phone in the room. I get up and go down to the living room when I smell a burning smell. I rush into the kitchen and see Paul cooking.

"Oh...why did you get up so early?" He asks me?

"It's 11 o'clock!"

"I wanted to surprise you and bring your breakfast to bed but you ruined everything"

He approaches me and leaves his eggs on the fire. He grabs me by the waist and kisses me.

He puts me on the kitchen counter and kisses me in the neck. I try to taunt him by trying to withdraw but he manages to stop me. I can't resist him even if I wanted to. He has this control over me that makes me always want more of him. I open my eyes and see smoke coming out of the stove.

"PAUL!" I screamed

He turns around quickly.

"Shit!"

He rushes to the fire and turns off the plate. He grabs the stove and looks at it.

"Bravo Nina! In addition to spoiling my surprise, you burned my eggs! You can be proud of yourself"

I burst out laughing.

"I'm sorry, do you think you can forgive me?"

"I don't really know...I have a pinch in my heart for this chicken who hurt her ass to lay these eggs...but...you're pretty pretty so I think I can make a concession for this time"

I walk towards him and kiss him.

"What do you want to do today?" Paul asks me.

"I had thought of going to the mall. I have to buy a new dress for a dinner with my parents and important people."

"What dinner?" He asks me?

"My parents are organizing an important dinner next week for I don't know what."

"I'm with you"

"I'm going to change, I'll come back," I told him

I go upstairs and go back to his room. I grab my clothes from the day before and change. I see Paul's phone lighting up on the bedside table. I go to the phone and I see that he has received 9 messages. Without thinking, I unlock his phone. He never let me use his phone. Its wallpaper is an all-black, empty, a little depressing background. I roll out the bar.

He received 2 messages from Tim, 1 message from Mr., 4 messages from Jake and 2 messages from a certain Amanda.

The messages that intrigue me the most are those of Mr. and Amanda. I may be a little too jealous or paranoid...

"I'm bothering you? "

I startle as I hear his voice and drop his phone on the floor.

"I'm sorry but it kept ringing and I wanted to mute the sound," I lied.

"Did you read my messages?" He asks me threateningly.

"No"

He does not seem convinced of my answer. He picks up his phone and puts it in his jeans pocket.

"Come on, let's go"

He takes me by the wrist and pulls me hard. I remove my hand abruptly but it doesn't turn around.

I get into his car, doubtful.

The journey is quite long and quiet. I think back to the cold reaction he had towards me in the room.
