With or without you

Chapt 14

Some days passed without news from Bono. But I knew I had to be patient, he needed to find the courage to break up with her. What was her name again? Ali? I imagined myself if I was in her place. Being in a relationship with the same man for 11 years, she was probably dreaming of a wedding and a big family with him. I felt guilty, I must admit. But well, if he didn't love her anymore, we couldn't force him. Still, if I was her, it'd break my heart to be left by the man that I love. Even more when that men was Bono.
Two weeks later I found a letter on the bench near my house. I opened it and my heart skipped a beat when I recognized his singular handwriting; "Esther, my love, I finally found the courage to tell her the truth. Now we can be together, just you and I. Meet me in my hotel tonight at 8". I wanted to scream of joy, we could be together for real now..
8PM, I checked my outfit in the mirror before leaving. I had bought a dress some days ago, a black one with lace on the back. I put my coat and left my house. It was a cold night, the wind was finding its way under my dress and I could see goosebumps appearing on my arms. I walked faster and sighed of relief when the heat of the Hotel's entrance met my body, it made me think of a warm hug. I was walking to his room when I suddenly bumped into something. I lifted my head and my eyes met Edge's face. "Hey!" he smiled "sorry for that!". I laughed and fixed my dress; "I'm coming to see Bono, do I look good?". He looked at me for some seconds, then put a strand of my hair behind my ear "Now you look perfect!". I think I might have blushed in that moment, I can't remember really well. I thanked him, walked to Bono's room and knocked. He opened quickly and hugged me tight. I took a deep breath of his perfume and closed my eyes. "it's good to see you, B" he let me in and closed the door. Next second my back was pressed against the wall and his lips were kissing my neck. I felt his hand finding its way under my dress, like the wind did sooner that night. "Don't you just want to lay in bed and cuddle?" he looked at me weirdly and answered "But I haven't seen you in such a looong time, I want you love..". I closed my eyes and let him do. I remember he undressed both of us really fast, and then he slided in me. I can't remember that night very well, but I remember it was the first time I felt uncomfortable in his arms.
