From me, to you

Chapter III

17th July

Where did I left off ?

Oh right at the I'm going home with you part.

There I was in front of The owner, or should I start calling him by his real name ? Estéban. Es-té-ban. His stare was so intense that it made me feel uncomfortable. It was like he was looking straight into my soul, knowing all my dirty secrets. I felt vulnerable around him. I had to find a way to get away so I could finally go find my friends, who where now MIA. I was about to talk when his phone ringed. He talked for two minutes responding with only yes or no.

"Something came up, I'll have to take a rain check"

While he said that, he had the most natural facial expression. As if we actually had made plans together and he had to cancel. I stayed motionless trying to understand how weird this man was acting. He was as intimidating as he was weird. Besides that, there was something appealing about him not only his looks. There was something else . My mind was off for so long that I did not notice that he had already left.

It was 1 a.m. and I still hadn't really enjoyed my night out because of the two very disrupting men. I had been looking around trying to find my friends and I just couldn't find them. Everyone was dancing with a partner. It made me feel so lonely.  I had gained my seat back at the bar when I noticed him. Confusion was written all over my face. I thought he had left.

He extended his hand to me and asked with the most beautiful smile I ever saw.

" Care to dance"

Hesitant at first but at the end I gave in. Hand in hand we were walking to a free spot on the dancefloor. His hands found their way to my hips and mine to his neck. Moving slowly to the music, I noticed our bodies coming closer together. To a point where there was no escape possible. In some way at that moment we became one. That should have been the first sign.

"What about Something came up ?"

"I couldn't leave knowing I had made such a bad impression."

His hand slowly left my body. My smile dropped, I did not want to let him go, he felt so warm and safe.

"Don't worry we will see each other again, very soon.''

With that he left.

I went back to the bar after he left to order a second drink. My throat was aching.

"There you are, we've been looking for you for hours"

"I've been here the whole time."

Yes I know, lying is bad but I didn't tell them because I know at the time they would have made a big deal out of it. Plus I was not expecting to see him again even if he said that we will. Very soon. At that time I did not want to admit that I was actually attracted by him. I was not only lying to them but also to myself. 

I sat down with Jordyn at the bar talking, waiting for the others to come. My head started spinning. All I wanted at that moment was to go home. No more dancing or drinking just my sweet bed. This is  what happens when I think to much, I get a headache. What was on my mind  you're asking? Or better whom ? Well Estéban! Who else ? He brought my world upside down in seconds. We did not even spent that much time together  but for the first time in what . Never. I felt safe in somebodies arms. I did not know how to feel about him. He left saying we'll see each other again but I did not believe him. He just wanted to get into my pants were the words I kept repeating to myself to stop thinking about him or his strong masculin arms. Those arms that made me feel like nobody could get to me. Like I could conquer the world. He made me feel things I never felt.

I had to forget about him. The same word kept on spinning in my head playboy. I guess to forget about him I had to make up a lie.

Jordyn and I stood up when we got Sedas text saying she was at the entrance waiting on us.

"My head is killing me, can we go home ?"

They all nodded and we took my car back to my appartement.

I was in my bedroom while the girls had stayed downstairs to watch films. They had tried to get me to stay with them but at that point my head was about to explode, so I gently declined and said I'll see them the next day. In my room, I had decided to take a shower. I wanted to wash all of his scent off me. I stepped into the water and scrubbed my body with my vanilla scent soap. I used some shampoo to wash my hair. After a good thirty minutes standing under water, I stepped out. I dried my hair and wrapped myself into a towel. Took my lotion to hydrate my body and braided my hair. I ran downstairs to get a bottle of water and I found the girls asleep on the couch. I covered them up with sheets so they won't get cold. Back in my room, I made my prayers and was about to sleep when I got a notification on my phone.

My mood went from tired to nervous really fast. I knew it could only one person. Elijah. What I could not understand is how he  got my number.

Oh,
I haven't talked about Elijah yet right. Elijah Mattews is my ex-boyfriend. Well actually he was my current boyfriend. We were still thing, or kind of. We had been together for 10 months .
