~ You should love me ~

FOURTEEN ~ Quiero estar contigo

I need some air. I force myself to eat some fruit, but now I really need some fresh air.
"I have to go," I said to Ger and Roberto.
"Where? Are you okay?" Ger asks worriedly.
"Yeah, I am fine. I just need some air. See you in cabin."
I rush outside to the terrace and breathe.
My head is full and I'm going to explode.
"Ava? Is that you?"
I turn and see Alessandro, so I briefly smile at him.
"Are you feeling okay?"
"Mhm, I just need some fresh air. How are you?"
"Fine, thanks. I am going to the fitness. Would you join me?"
"Nah, I am not into fitness," I smile, "thanks anyway."
"Well, okay. I tried." He smiles widely.
"I heard Gerard will start working in Ferrari. This is a great opportunity. Thank you."
"Yeah, he's a good guy. Why we wouldn't give him a chance."
I nod.
"I'm going to freeze outside. See you in the evening, right?"
"Yeah, see you. Have a good training."
He leaves.
See you in the evening... I am going to freak out. I don't know what is wrong with me today.

The rest of the day I spent in Gerard's company. We went for a short walk, chat, cuddle. For few hours I completely forget about Carlos.

It is New Year's eve.
"You're gorgeous," Ger says when I step out of the bathroom. I am wearing black short dress with glitters.
"Thanks, you look good too," I smile when I step closer and kiss him. He is wearing black jeans, shirt and dark blue pullover.
"Mmm, and you smells nice," he kisses my neck. I hug him. Strong. My heart fastens a little.
"Lets go, they are waiting on us."
We both wear our coats, and then hand in hand walk toward the restaurant. Before we enter I took a deep breathe.
There was already a lot of people. We walk to the corner of the big restaurant and there were already sitting Alessandro, Tom, Felix, Roberto and ... Carlos.
We both greet them. They all hugged us.
"Where is Quinn?" Ger asks, when I look at Carlos. He looks good in blue shirt and jeans and with his messy hair. He looks at me and smiles. I do not smile back, I just grab Gerard's hand and join to the conversation with Tom and Felix.
"Do you want some Akvavit?" Roberto asks.
"What's that?"
"It's Norwegian beverage. It is like gin."
"Oh, I don't like gin. But I'll try it," I smile.
He pours it, we toast and I drink it all in one sip.
"Huuuuh!!!" Oh, god. It is strong!
The boys laughs.
"Come on, sit down. The dinner will start soon," Tom invites us.
"Okay, where can we sit?" Ger asks.
"Wherever you want."
I look at Ger and he picks a chair next to Carlos. "Come here, babe. You can sit next to Chili. You two already know each other and can hang."
"What about you?"
"I'll be opposite you, next to Alessandro."
I look to the chair next to Carlos. He is sitting there quietly. I sigh a little, then walk to him and sit.
"You look perfect," he leans to me whispering.
"Please, don't talk like that." I took a water and pour it on my glass.
"Wont you drink some alcohol?"
"No, thanks. I need to be sober."
"Or?"
"What or?"
"You need to be sober or..."
"Nothing. I like to be sober." I took a sip. I cannot explain how nervous I become.
"Babe, the dinner starts. I am going to get some food," Ger says standing up.
"Wait, I'll go with you."
There is so many dishes and it is hard to decide what to eat. I full my plate with many of different things and return to the table. Carlos is sitting there, tapping on the phone.
"You wont eat?" I ask. He slowly puts down the phone.
"Yeah, I will," he smiles lightly and stands up: "Enjoy."
I start to eat and the others join.
We chat, eat, drink and have really good time.
"Tonight is going to be a great party. I can't wait to the music," Felix said.
"What kind of the music is going to be?" I ask.
"I don't know. Some DJ."

After the dinner I pour myself a glass of red wine. The music starts and a lot of the people walk to the dancefloor.
"Hi guys!" Quinn come to us with some girl.
Other boys exclaim and greets them with joy. I guess he hooked up with her and now bring her here.
"Ger! Can we go dancing?" I say.
"Babe, I'd like to chat with Quinn. Wait five minutes okay?"
"Fine."
"I'd like to go dance," Carlos says, while he taps on the phone again.
"Yeah, with phone right?"
"Why are you so grumpy? I text with Lando."
"I don't care to whom do you text."
"Come here, let us took a photo."
He pulls me closer to him and we took a selfie.
"The grumpy Ava is saying hi," he said and write.
"Hey!!!" I tap his shoulder when he laughs.
"No, text him: Ava is saying hi and now I can't text you anymore because I'm going to dance with her."
"Okay, okay."
I stand up, walk around the table and lean to Ger: "I'm going to dance with Carlos."
Yeah, I am so mind changing.
"Okay, babe. I'll join you later." I give him a quick kiss.

We entered the dancefloor. Few people are already dancing. It is some nice house music on. I lift my hands and let myself to the music. I love dancing and jumping around the dancefloor. After about fifteen minutes of house music, DJ surprises us with a romantic song from Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber - Stuck With U.
"I am soo thirsty," I say, trying to excuse, when he took my hand. "Yeah, me too," he answered, still holding my hand. I am staring at him, he stares at me.
"We can drink later, huh?" he says again, smiling. Of course we can, but... I cannot let myself to you.
"Yeah."
He wraps his hands around my hips, I wrap mine around his neck. Then he pulls me closer, so I can feel his warm body. My thoughts are in two days ago. When we got stuck in the snow storm. When we make love. He holds my hand and turns me so now I am standing backward to him. I look up to see where is Gerard, but I cannot see him. He is probably still sitting there and chatting. Suddenly I feel a warm breath and soft kiss on my neck. Oh... Why is he doing that? I close my eyes and slowly wiggle with my hips.
"Te gusta eso, no?" he whispers.
"Si, me gusta mucho," I reply. He turns me and stares into my eyes, surprised.
"You speak Spanish?"
"A little, yes. Well, I understand a lot."
"Come with me." He grabs my hand and pulls me with him.
"Where are we going?"
"I must kiss you." His voice was harsh.
"I don't think this is wise, Carlos. There is a lot of people."
We walk downstairs to the basement. The hall is so dark.
"No one is here," he leans me to the wall.
"Quiero estar contigo, Ava."
"No puedes."
"Porque?"
I roll my eyes: "I am with Gerard."
"So? You can leave him. I want to be with you. Lets start new year together."
I laugh: "Don't be silly, Carlos."
"I am serious. Let me prove you."
Before I could say anything else, he presses his lips on mine. Ah, I missed him. Our tongues intertwine and suddenly I feel lust. I want him. We're kissing passionately, and when he starts lifting my dress up, someone screams.
