The Choice

14) Aurora

"From where did you get a car?"

I ask as he glances at me sideways from behind his sunglasses,

"I'm Omer Mughrabi, dove."

I nod as my mouth forms an o. I get into the car as he starts it going, "Omer that's not the direction for Nour's house." He nods, "we won't be going there yet."

I furrow my brows, "Okay I'll go with you anywhere, but let's drop off there; I need to change and shower and do my suff."

He nods again, "you'll do all of that." He stops at the traffic light turning red, "but- I say, but he interrupts me as he leans in grabbing my jaw and kissing me. He pulls back getting the car going again as the lights turn green and I stay frozen in my place unable to talk.

He glances at me and smirks then pulls me in his embrace and kisses the top of my head. I sigh and place my hand on his chest taking in his comfort. I gaze at the road as he laces his fingers through my hair combing it with his fingers and I feel my lids drop.

"Dove, wake up." He shakes me awake as I squint at him, "why do I always sleep whenever I'm with you in a car?" He smiles, "because I'm driving with the little girl inside." He says tapping at my heart. "Let's go." He says and exits the car and I reach for the handle opening the door as he pulls it open, I descend and he closes it after me. The guy at the garage comes and Omer gives him the keys and he leaves.

I walk next to him as I jerk forward feeling heat on my ass accompanied by a sound of a slap, I widen my eyes at him, "Why was that? At the middle of the hotel!" he nods, "because you opened the door yourself." I frown and he wraps his arm around my neck as we head inside. He nods for the receptionist who checks him out, I wrap an arm around his waist glaring at her as she looks the other direction. I feel him smile and kiss my temple as we enter the elevator.

I stand inside then he removes the sunglasses and leans his arms around me trapping me in, I laugh nervously, "I'll go back to Nour's I swear." I point my index in his face. "AH!" I yelp as he bites my finger, "What's with you and biting today?!" The elevator pings and we exit it as he says voice playful, "You look ravishing, my love."

He uses the key card and waits for me to enter the room as he gets inside closing the door after us. I twirl narrowing my eyes at the door and at him, "what?" he asks. "What are you going to do with me?" he smirks whispering, "Everything."

He passes me as I stay frozen, he looks me over, "Dove, you'd eat me alive if I thought of doing anything. Come inside, baby." I walk after him inside; I won't lie it's the comfiest room ever with its white sheets and yellow lights.

I place my hands on my hips and tap my floor in a motherly behavior, "Tell me everything, now."

I widen my eyes and he takes off his shirt and mirrors my stance placing his hands on his waist too. "What do you want to know?" he asks and I wave at him, "no, put something on first so, we can talk." He smiles devilishly as he steps closer, "BACK, step back." I say and he stops. "Talk from your spot." I point at him and continue, "How did you know I was at your house?"

"I downloaded a tracker in your phone when you gave it to me, willingly before. Ah Ah Ah"- he stops me with his pointer before talking then goes on, "after you fell, I was worried something else might happen, a precaution to find you. Your no response got me worried because your phone was out of range so, I tracked where it went before it broke. The neighborhood of my house."

I frown, "Nour's house too is in the same neighborhood."

"Mhmm, but I remember you saying you're not at hers. It was the first place that came to my mind. Considering that Joe met you before too. I'll call it luck. I acted impulsively."

I nod taking it all in and my face softens, "You risked yourself and everything to come and see where I am, Omer. You shouldn't have, I was going to tell you everything." He closes the distance, "No words could get this- he motions for his heart- to stop worrying except having you safe and sound in my arms as I see you in front of me."

I wrap my arms around him and we stay for a while before we pull back, I find him smiling, "what are you smiling at, idiot?" His smile widens as he touches my nose with his, "You look ready to pass out. Your lids are already dropping."

I smile and nod, he spins me and takes off my hair tie, "Go have your shower, there are toiletries there and you can get any shirt of mine to wear and you're ready to sleep."

I smile at his thoughtfulness and nod, "Yes, but I have to call Nour before to- "I'll call her. You head inside." He says and I nod as I head for the best shower ever.

I leave the bathroom to find him sitting on the cushion next to the balcony, he closes the blinds then spots me. He sits and gestures for me to sit between his legs and I do, I feel my eyes close as he laces his fingers in my hair braiding it. He finishes and wraps his arms around me as he breathes me in and kisses the side of my face.

He taps my thigh and I stand, I look at the bed then to him, "if you'll take the bed, where will I go?"

He passes by me, "another bed." "Where?" he kisses my cheek, "look around till I come back." And leaves for the bathroom too.

I spend five minutes looking for the bed when I see him exit the shower; his hair now is longer and looks so soft with water dripping from it. "You're still looking for it?" I nod, "I cannot find it, Omer." I whine and I take the towel from his hand, I stretch on my tip-toes to dry his hair off. He chuckles and sits down so I have better access. He keeps his hands next to him as I dry his hair and discard the towel then style it with my fingers, "Do you apply any products?" I ask and he nods, "but not at home, it'll be ruined anyways. It'll dry now."

I frown, "Your hair looks perfectly styled at home." He nods again, "yeah, but with no stuff to hold it. It'll be messy now." I snort, "I wish all messy is like yours." I look him down, he's shirtless and into grey soft pants that yes, shows certain men problems as he says, but I choose not to sneak peaks every time he doesn't look. At all.

I see his knuckles turn white at his sides so I grab them and wrap his hands around my waist. He grips the flesh there and I shy away," what, dove? Am I making you uncomfortable?"

I shake my head, "No, I just..." I trail off, "You just what, baby?" I feel my cheeks heat as I say, "I just gained some weight, especially there." I look away, but gasp when I feel his lips on my right thigh then my left one then he wraps his hands around me gripping my ass from above my panties, I widen my eyes, "Omer!" I slap his shoulder as he urges me to straddle his lap.

"You have the most beautiful body I ever saw. And I'm glad you did; so, I can have something to grip and if you did not, I'll always worship it. Do not ever shy away from me or think negatively about your body. I will be the one to stand in your face." I giggle, "what will you do- I yelp as he leans in biting my left boob nearly taking it in his mouth. I feel heat surge up from embarrassment as his lips spread into a smile, "no bra, dove?"

"I couldn't sleep in it." he nods and kiss when he bit me before then stands up lifting me in his arms as if I weigh nothing. He lowers me and pulls the covers away from the bed, "where is the other one, Omer?" I ask again as he sleeps and pulls me with him on the bed, "Why would you look for a bed when I'm here, also, why chairs when my lap is there?" he murmurs as he positions me on top of him.

I hide my smile as I scoff, "Not comfy and very hard under my body." I feel him nod, "Very hard you have no idea." I snicker and look up at him then peck his lips, "I missed you so much, Omer."

He tightens his arms round me, "I missed you too, my love. Go ahead close your eyes." I do as he says and feel myself drift off.
