Valhalla

Chapter 11

Nayeli's POV

"You what??"

I place my hand over my best friend's mouth, motioning her to lower her voice and she looks at me with a frown, pulling my hand away.

"Nayeli, did you sleep with him?"

I nod as I look at her and she opens her eyes wide before smirking, making her eyebrows twitch.

"How was it?"

"Honestly? Best sex of my life."

She explodes with laughter as she looks at me and I smirk.

"Honestly huh! It was both sweet and rough at the same time...I don't know how to explain it but it's the first time I've ever had sex like that with someone..."

She smiles as she looks at me, drinking her coffee.

"What?..."

"You're going to see him again huh? What about your rule about never seeing the same guy twice?"

I grimace as I look at her. She was right, I never slept with the same boy twice, it kept me from unnecessary attachments.

"It's not the same...Look we'll see! The difference is that now we work together, I can't fall in love with him."

She puts her coffee cup down as she looks at me with a smile

"You know that's how I met Arya...At first it was purely sexual, now look, I can't see my life without her"

I smiled as I looked at her, finding it adorable how she saw her relationship with Arya. At first they only saw each other to sleep together and now there was no Alexia without Arya and no Arya without Alexia. They were adorable and all our close friends were jealous of their relationship.

"I know Alexia but this is going to be different, I work with him and a relationship together would not be a good idea. Whereas just sleeping together that's not dumb."

She looks at me, like I'm crazy, and laughs, shaking her head.

" You are a big girl Nayeli, I just don't want an Alec number two...We all know how you've been through it."

I growl as I roll my eyes and smile widely at her.

"I've changed since then, I'm not the same, don't worry about me babe!"

I take her in my arms covering her with kisses and she laughs

"Stooop you're going to put lipstick all over me!"

We both laugh and I sit down in front of her.

"You don't want my lipstick but your girlfriend's lipstick you say yes! Favoritism!"

She laughs while wiping her face.

"Key word: girlfriend"

I stick my tongue out at her and we both laugh.

After my little meeting with Alexia, I was quickly back home, wanting to spend the rest of the day quietly.

I put my stuff down at the entrance and quickly went to run a bath, lighting some candles around the bathtub.

Once in the bathtub, I grab my phone and start my playlist on my speaker that I had put on my sink and check my emails. I smiled when I saw that I had received the pictures from my first photo shoot and clicked on them, wanting to see the result.

When I saw the pictures, I could hardly recognize myself. They hadn't changed my face or my body, on the contrary, I just couldn't believe that this girl was me.

I knew I was attractive, but I had never seen myself in this way.

I send the pictures directly to the group I had with my friends and they all react the same way, congratulating and complimenting me, which made me happy.

I put my phone down and took a deep breath while resting my head against the bathtub, closing my eyes for a few moments.

Soon enough the images of Asher above me come back into my head. His breath against my skin, his kisses, his caresses, everything comes back into my mind and my smile appears on its own.

It was perfect, at least in the place. To tell the truth, even in everyday life I found him perfect. I understand his success better.

I let myself go and eventually fall asleep, my mind racing pretty quickly.

He yells at me, laughs in my face, stares at me.

I scream, my voice trembling, my face soaked with tears. My throat burns, my head hurts and I just want to hit him, to push him away.

I yell his name, he laughs as he looks at me.

"You'll never be enough."

"It's natural."

"You're pinning me down."

"You're keeping me from getting off."

"Look at yourself in the mirror, maybe then you'll realize."

"It's not attractive"

"What are you trying to do, put your clothes on, you're ridiculous"

I wake up suddenly, my breathing short and my eyes full of tears.

Not again.

I thought I was done with all this.

I sigh as I sit up, pulling the plug out of the tub to empty it and finish washing myself.

Once I'm clean and dressed I sit down on my couch with a sigh, staring at my phone.

I hesitate to call Alexia to talk about it but eventually give up on the idea.

It wasn't worth it.

I drop my head back and sigh again, running my hands over my face.

After all this time he was coming back to haunt me, that was the last thing I needed.

I think this CHAPTER is shorter than usual but it has been sitting on my computer for too long.
