"I think he takes after me a lot." Hugh laughed. He was telling me about his son. Don't crucify me if I'm not finding the topic interesting because I'm not great with kids.
I barely had a relationship with my younger sisters because of the age difference so I left home earlier and I guess I didn't have time to practice with them. Plus I have never really thought about kids of my own not to mention dating someone who has one.
"Kim?" I looked at him immediately.
"Yes?"
"My apologies if I'm boring you. You don't have kids do you?" I shook my head.
"I do not. I'm sorry I don't relate to your parenting life." He gave me a polite smile and then drank his wine. His smile wasn't like Lorena's. Her beautiful face just lit up everytime she smiled at me. "Um, will you excuse me for a minute. I need to use the restroom." He nodded.
"Don't be too long." I faked a laugh and got up.
Kimberly why do you keep thinking about Lorena? God this is awkward. My eye caught familiar hair by the corner. I stopped in my tracks and looked at the person carefully. Am I hallucinating? I battled in my head whether to check carefully or to just go to the restroom and not embarrass myself in front of a stranger. I decided to go with option 2.
Lorena's POV
"Is she still staring?" I asked Danny.
"No she's gone boss." I let out a breath of relief. "Stalking does not suit boss."
"What do you want me to do? Go to her?"
"Seems like the only normal thing to do when you want to speak to someone."
"And then say what? My problem is I don't know what to say to her." He laughed.
"I'll wait for you in the car. You go talk to her or let me drive you home because I can't let you hurt yourself by watching them laugh and having a good time." He stood up and left.
I sighed and thought about what to say to Kimberly. Does she even still want to see me? She seemed to have been doing fine without me for the past few weeks.
I stood up and walked to the front desk immediately.
" Sky." She looked up from the computer. I took off the huge sunglasses so she could see me.
"Miss Lorena?"
"Yeah. Listen see that man who came in with a beautiful lady wearing a short white dress? About thirty minutes ago?"
"Oh yeah I see that couple." I cleared my throat.
"Yeah whatever send their bill to my account." I walked away from her.
"Ma'am are you sure?" I stopped and turned back to look at her.
"Should I repeat myself?" She swallowed hard and shook her head quickly. "Good" I made my way to where Kimberly seemed to be headed.
Kim's POV
I washed my hands and then looked at myself on the ginormous clean mirror in front of me. I heard the door open and close but I paid no attention to it. It's a hotel after all. Many people walk in and out of this bathroom everyday. I turned around to be met by Lorena looking at me with her arms folded. I gasped and then blinked a few times to make sure I wasn't hallucinating again. Okay she's still here. That means she's real.
"Hi Kimberly."
"What are you doing here?" I asked searching the stalls but luckily all of them were vacant.
"You do realise that we're in my hotel right?" I rolled my eyes. Of course everything new is owned by her and her family if not the Anders.
"I thought you were on vacation." She shrugged and then locked the door. "What are doing? I need to go back to my date."
"I wanna talk to you." She said stepping closer to me.
"If it's about the company I'm on leave." I said to her.
"It's about us." She said softly looking straight into my eyes. She touched my arm softly lighting all of the flames inside of my body.
"Lorena I can't do this with you." I moved away from her, breathing heavily. "I'm on a date."
"I thought you and I had something going on Kimberly. What happened? You don't even want to listen to what I have to say you just keep mentioning that stranger you barely know."
"Well I'm here because I want to know him better." I said.
"I didn't think you'd forget about me so quickly." I scoffed.
"It's not like you left me a choice."
"What do you mean? You gave me the key to your house I thought that was an important move I mean...." I interrupted her while she was talking.
"You left!!" I yelled. "With no phone call, no message or text or even a fucking note!! Nothing. What made it even worse was you left the morning after we had sex. What was I supposed to think? Oh she'll be back she just needs to gain more energy in her precious island for the next round? Is that it?!"
"Kimberly that's why I'm here I wanna explain where I've been." She came closer trying to hold my hand but I didn't let her.
"You have no right to demand for my time. You had my attention and time but you chose to leave and now suddenly you come back and you expect me to be happy?"
"I expect you to at least listen to what I have to say." She begged. "Not a single night went by where I didn't think about you before I went to sleep.." She finally held my hands. "I'm sorry I left without saying anything to you. I wasn't thinking straight and I didn't make contact with you while I was away because I didn't want to risk telling you where I was. I wanted to tell you after my journey." Her eyes told me she was telling me the truth.
"I already know where you were. On vacation so there's no need for you to explain anything." I told her.
"I wasn't actually." I looked at her confused.
"You weren't?" She shook her head no.
"No but can we please talk in a more private place?" She begged.
"It would be rude of me to leave Hugh by himself like that without saying anything." I said.
"I told Danny on my way here to make a plan to get him out of here so I think he's not a problem anymore."
"You did what?" She sighed.
"I didn't like the way he was looking at you and opening doors for you." She pouted.
"I can't believe this." I shook my head in disbelief.
"Come on Kimberly did you like him that much already? You're breaking my heart you know." She smirked causing me to blush.
"You're annoying, you know that?" She chuckled and I finally saw the smile I had been longing for for a while now. Our eyes met for a few seconds and she wasted no time in capturing my lips into hers. My body lighted up again after weeks of not.
Our lips moved in sync, her hands traveling my whole body leaving trails of sparks behind and turning me on even more. I could feel my panties getting soaked.
"Wait." I said to her trying to catch my breath. I looked into her confused eyes and smiled. "Let's get out here."
