I tossed my phone aside and went into the bathroom to take a soothing bath. My head was hurting fairly acceptably. I stripped off my satin nightgown and relaxed in the water. As I closed my eyes, Kenan's green eyes and our brief kiss were before me. "Fuck him!" I thought, trying to shake off those thoughts.

-Belle! Tell me what happened between you and Kenan!"I suddenly heard Erica's voice rushing through the door, eager for information.I sighed loudly.
-'Nothing happened, Erica. Please don't shout, my head hurts.
She pouted like a little kid and crossed her arms, looking at me reproachfully.
-He kissed me. That was it. - I said quietly and rolled my eyes
-'Oh my god!' was the only thing that came out of Erica's mouth. There, I've overwhelmed her with this information - now she's going to leave me alone for a while.

Erica and I had lunch near the hotel and then she left for the business meeting place. She told me she was very excited as Tarak would be there too. Apparently, she has really fallen for him. I had some free time and decided to spend it at a gallery. I loved art and it was something that was calming and inspiring. I texted Erica to tell her where I was and if she wanted to come over after work.

I was standing in front of a huge Renaissance painting and studying every detail of it carefully. I felt a hand touch my shoulder gently and thought it was Erica. I turned around and saw Kenan.
-'Hello, Belle. - He whispered.
-Kenan? - I was quite surprised to see him here. I didn't expect him to go places like this too.
- What are you doing here?
-I'm looking at the artwork. - He looked me over from head to toe and bit his lip.I brushed and placed a strand of hair behind my ear.
-'Do you know what period this painting is from? - I pointed to the one I was studying before he tackled me to the ground.
-'I want to take you out to dinner. - He said. Ah, that directness again.
-Sorry, but I already have plans. - I lied. I was going to spend the evening alone in the hotel room since Erica texted me that she was going to have dinner with Tarak.
-I'm aware that Erica and Tarak are going out tonight and you've only been here for two days. You hardly know anyone  - except me. - Kenan smiled
-Just because you kissed me once, doesn't mean I'm ready to throw myself into your arms right away. - I answered him sharply. -"What if I kiss you again? Will you accept me taking you out to dinner tonight,
Belle?
-'I ...' I'm again taken aback by his directness.
- Please, let this end here and now. I don't feel ready.
I hear him sigh heavily, as if he can't take any more refusals on my part. I could read in his eyes that he was tense.
-'I'm sorry and thank you for inviting me. - I replied, smiling slightly and stroking his arm.
- Bye, Kenan.
I then made my way to the gallery exit, and he was still standing in the same spot when I turned to see if he was following me. I didn't expect him to follow me, but a small part of me hoped he would.

9 pm

I was alone in the hotel room as Erica and Tarak went out for their date. I put on a gray tank top and gray shorts to be comfortable and turned on Netlix. All I could see in the suggestions were some romantic movies. Eventually I decided to put on some drama that I knew would make me sad. But sometimes it's not so bad to cry.

The movie had just ended, and I had cried a lot

The movie had just ended, and I had cried a lot. I just turned it off and there was a knock on the door. I was surprised, since I didn't order room service, and Erica has her own access card. I slowly opened the door to reveal Kenan's face in front of me. The emotions from the movie were still holding me and I couldn't say anything. He was looking me straight in the eye and seemed to be piercing me with his gaze.

I bit my bottom lip, grabbed his shirt and pulled it towards me, motioning for him to come in. No words were needed. I wanted him. Once he was in and the door closed, I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned up to kiss him passionately. He leaned against the door and wrapped his arms around my hips.
