4. The Apartment

Olivia and Emilian went back to his apartment. Olivia knew that she had left some clothes all over the place at her apartment and even though she knew Carola had stocked the kitchen with food, she was not sure what the food there actually was or what they could cook with it. 

After being driven by a chofer, since they both were tipsy, they arrived at a tall and beautiful apartment building. When they went inside the elevator, Emilian took out a key card, hovered it over a sensor and pressed the PH button. 

When they arrived at the apartment it was full of boxes everywhere.

"Sorry about the mess" said Emilian, signaling to the boxes.

"Are you coming or going?" replied Liv while looking at the massive amount of boxes everywhere.

"Coming, I just moved here earlier this week but so far I have only been able to unpack my bedroom and the rest is just..." 

"I get it, I just moved here too remember? My place is pretty empty and I just left my suitcases laying around".  She moved through the boxes and started on her way to the the open area where the kitchen and the living room where.

"Woah, you sim race?" She said as she looked back at him and then turned once more to the huge sim race set up in the living room, it was one of the only few things unpacked. 

"Uh... yeah... yes I do sometimes." said Emilian, he had forgotten that was going to be there.

"Can I play?" said Olivia getting closer to the seat.

"I'm not sure I would call it playing but sure, let me set it up for you" he said with a little laugh at the word playing.

"Oh don't worry I got it, I have used one before" said Olivia while she took a seat and turned the unit on.

"Really? You sim race? I am not gonna lie to you, you have been a total wild card but I did not expect sim racing to be one of your abilities" he said smiling and hovering behind the seat watching her setting up her sim car perfectly.

Olivia thought for a moment. She loved Checo but she did not like talking about him to other people, specially people she did not know very well. Her friends all knew him and had met him, but sometimes when strangers would find out she was Checo's sister they would immediately shift. They would become friendlier than normal, nicer, ask for favors, autographs, grand prix tickets. She did not lie about him, she just kept that information close to her chest until she felt like the person she was with wasn't with her just to get something out of her brother. 

"Yes well, I have older brothers who sim race a lot, so they taught me a thing or two." she said, and she was honest about it. 

Max was impressed with her races, even though she was a little bit drunk, she was making some decent laps. Every once in a while he would point at the screen and make signals with his hands "try to not go that wide on the curve, you are turning a little bit late".

After a while Olivia's stomach started growling even louder and they stoped the sim race to go eat something. To Olivia's surprise, Emilian made her a chicken sandwich and also served her a small salad he had stored in the fridge ready to be eaten. It was delicious, they ended up splitting the sandwich over the kitchen counter and talked and laughed about the sim race. 

"Well at least we know you are good at drinking and driving" said Emilian with a smile.

Olivia laughed and when she did Emilian smiled even more, his face lit up.

"Oh never drink and sim drive, this was just a special circumstance" she said

"What special circumstance was that?" said Emilian leaning a little closer.

"Oh you know, I just wanted to seem weirdly cool to the cute guy I met at the club" she said while looking straight into his eyes. She could see him a lot clearer know, his eyes were a beautiful shade of blue, not too bright, not too dark, like the sky during a spring day in Mexico, back home. 

"Well it worked, I never knew sim racing was so attractive, that's for sure." He was looking straight into her dark, almost black eyes too. Then he looked up like he was deep in thought and said  "Although, I also had never had a girl like you using my sim, just men on their 20's or 30's" he said and they both laughed while getting even closer. When they stopped laughing they looked at each other again, smiling. Olivia was sitting on top of the kitchen counter and Emilian was standing next to her, leaning on the counter. 

He started looking at her lips, and she could not break away from those beautiful blue eyes, there was something so intense about them. He straightened up, and got closer to her, their faces were just a couple of inches apart. Her breath started to quicken as he grabbed her face with one hand and slightly caressed her cheek with his thumb. Then his thumb rested on the corner of her lips, she could feel her heart racing. She placed her hands on his chest and could feel his heartbeat beating like crazy against her right hand. She looked up into his eyes and he leaned in and kissed her. 

It was soft, tender, he pulled an inch away for a moment, just trying to make sure she was okay with this. For Olivia, it was like she was hooked, she needed more. The hands she had on his chest grabbed on to his shirt and pulled him back in. His kisses were sweet but became more and more intense with every passing second. His hands grabbed her waist tightly and then slid to her back, which her backless dress exposed. He couldn't stop touching her, and she did not want him to stop. She grabbed on to his neck with her hands and then used one hand to lightly grab his hair. They felt the need to get even closer to each other, she opened her legs so he could fit in between them while she was still seating on the counter, he pulled her in to the border of the table and started kissing her neck. She felt like her skin was on fire every time his lips would touch her,  it was an amazing feeling, she didn't want it to end. 

"Hold on" he whispered, as he grabbed the bottom of her waist and raised her in the air, she locked her arms around his neck and her legs around his torso. He was still kissing her intensely, bumping into a few things on the way but neither of them cared. He took her to his bedroom and laid her down on the border of the bed. She moved back further on the bed  while taking off her shoes and he got on the bed as well on top of her. The kissing started to intensify, she could feel him against her and still had the need to be closer. He slid off the sleeves of the backless dress and uncovered her chest. She pulled his t-shirt from his back took it off. She started unbuttoning his pants, he started unzipping the remaining of her dress. 

"Do you have a condom?" She asked him breathing heavily between kisses.

He froze and his eyes went wide. 

"No... oh God no, I'm so sorry I wasn't expecting this to happen" he replied, still frozen. 

The moment she heard "no" she stoped in her tracks. She looked at him, her eyes also went wide and her mouth opened a little. "Wait are you serious?" Her face turned a little pleading, hoping it was surely a joke.

"I'm so sorry I will go buy some, I am sure I can find an open store" he hurriedly said while getting up as quickly as possible and getting dressed again in a hurry.

She was frozen in place, still breathing heavily. Emilian was intoxicating, she needed more but had just been told she couldn't have more. 

"Alright, don't worry I'll wait" she said trying to come off her state of shock and trying to be reasonable. In a way, him not being prepared for something like this was even better. At least it showed he wasn't some kind of player.

Emilian left as fast as possible and she could hear the running of his footsteps to the elevator.

She put her dress back on because it felt weird being semi naked on his apartment all alone. She laid on the bed and waited for him. The minutes went by and she started feeling so tired, it must been like 7 am. Emilian had been gone for almost an hour. She could see the hint of a sunrise on the window... her eyelids felt so heavy and the bed was so soft... she drifted off.

Thoughts? Too much? Not enough? 

Do you think Olivia should've stayed up?  Why was Emilian gone for so long?
