Secrets & Lies

Chapter Fifteen

Gia was startled by a knock at the door and immediately moved away from Alexander, her mind immediately believing that it was her parents who had found out what she had done.  Alexander didn't let her move far pulling her tighter towards his chest.

"Hey Alex, er du klar til at tage hjem?" Johan said through the closed door in Danish.

"Ja, giv os et par minutter hvordan lang." Alexander replied.

"Jeg kender ente måske ti eller femten minutter." Johan said in return.

"Ok fint." The Danish conversation came to an end, "Johan is ready to take your friend back. Do you want to stay here with me or go back with her?" He asked.

"Will you be riding along with us?" Gia asked.

"I will if you want to go home, personally I would really like it if you stayed right here with me in bed." He answered honestly.

"I would like that, but it wouldn't be right to let Janice go home on her own." Gia said looking up into his perfect eyes.

"Of course." He said with a shrug.  Alex helped Gia to locate her discarded clothing after he had pulled on his jeans.  Gia was still hiding under the covers so he wouldn't see any part of her naked body.  Alexander handed her his t-shirt first which Gia quickly slipped on while still hiding.  He held out her panties and bra which she took from him after putting on her panties she got up from the bed and grabbed her other clothing and headed into the bathroom.  The pain increased as she moved around and she was surprised that she was able to walk at all.  In her purse Gia removed the overnight kit Diane had made her put together.  In the bag there was a pair of clean panties, and at this moment Gia was very thankful for Diane's forethought because Gia hadn't believed her when she said it would be needed.

When Gia cleaned her vagina she was shocked at the amount of blood and burning pain in that region.  It took her breath away and she just wanted to scream with pain.  Instead Gia sucked it in and tried to blink away the newly formed tears.  Gia put her bra on and Alexander's t-shirt with the black pants.  She brushed out her hair and fixed her makeup.  The borrowed high heel booties where still in the living room so Gia came out of the bathroom in her bare feet.

"Is it okay if I borrow your shirt?"  Gia said shyly.

"Absolutely." He said with a smile, "It looks better on you anyway."

"I'll wash it and get it back to you. "She offered.

"Don't worry about it.  I was wondering if you would be willing to give me your phone number, because I would really like to see you again."  He said. 

Gia was extremely excited that he had asked to see her again, "Yes...absolutely!"

    They came out of the bedroom and walked down the hall to the main room where Janice and Johan were waiting.  They were chatting quietly with each other and drinking coffee.  Gia grabbed her shoes and slipped them on before walking back to Alexander who was holding her coat.  After he helped Gia put it on he grasped her hand and interlaced his long fingers with hers.  It was so comfortable as if they simply belonged that way.  Alexander and Gia walked quietly out to the car both looking down at the sidewalk.  Johan and Janice sat in the front seat this time, while Alexander and Gia took the back seat.  They all sat in relative silence as Johan transported them back toward Janice and Gia's building the only sound coming from Janice when she told Johan where to turn.  As Gia looked out the window she felt Alexander grasp her hand.  She turned to look at him and he gave her a slight smile before lifting her hand to his lips and giving it a soft kiss.  Gia smiled back at him, and scooted over toward him so she could lean against his warm body.  He made her feel safe and relaxed.  The drive home seemed really quick, much faster than Gia wanted it to be.  If only time would stand still she could be next to Alexander forever.  She just wasn't ready to say goodbye.

    Johan parked the car outside of their house and Janice and Johan quickly got out and walked up to the door.  Alexander and Gia stayed in the car for a few minutes kissing before he got out and came around and opened her door.  They walked at a snail's pace up the walkway hands intertwined.  The air was cold and smelled like snow.  Frost covered the grass on either side of the walkway.  They paused outside the door; Janice and Johan were already inside. 

"I'll call you later."  He stated meaning what he said.  Gia nodded, "I want you to know that I really enjoyed our conversation."  Gia looked into his aquamarine eyes and knew he was being serious.  Alex knew he wasn't saying what he really wanted too it was just so hard to express how much he really liked this girl from America.  She had swept into his life and had made him change his thinking about everything he used to believe.  He didn't want to leave her at all but felt that he would seem clingy if he didn't leave her at the door.

"I have too.  I hope we can continue them."  Gia responded honestly.  At that he leaned down and gently kissed her, his hands caressing her cheeks and neck.  The shudder of excitement was still there even though Gia was unsure she would ever see or hear from this tall Nordic God again. She realized at that moment she did not regret what she had done.
