TRYING NOT TO LOVE YOU

~Twenty-fourth Part~

I wake up in the middle of the night - naked in Marc's embrace. I look at him and caresses his cheek. He's sleeping dead to the world, so I quietly climb over him, wear his T-shirt and quietly leave the room. As far as possible quietly, I go down the stairs to the kitchen. I turn on the light and look at the clock, which shows half four in the morning. "I am so hungry," I say and open the fridge. "Oh, there's nothing," I say and close it back. Then I take bread out of the kitchen cabinet and start eating it just as it is. I pour to myself some more lemonade and then I sit at the table. I eat for about ten minutes, then I take the rest of the bread and a glass. When I turn myself to go, I run to someone. "Shit!" I shout. "What are you doing here at this hour?" Alex laughs. "You scared me," I say and step back. "Sorry," he said and yawned. "Are you hungry too?" I ask him. "No, thirsty," he said and pours a glass of water. "Okay, good night," I say and turn to leave. "Why are you wearing Marc's T-shirt?" he asks. "Uhm, because..." I start, but I don't know how to lie. I am standing in the middle of the kitchen looking at him. I can't remember anything good, so I decide to tell him the truth. "We had sex, okay," I say, then I walk out of the kitchen. "Wait, wait. Did I hear you right?" he rushes after me. "Yes, Alex. We were indulge in passion. We can't hold back anymore."
"But... Jorge..." he begins, when I nod: "Yes, I know. I am cheating on him. But there is no other. I love Marc and... I just can't resist him anymore."
"I don't know what to say..." Alex said and sat on the stair. "There is nothing to say. Come on, let's go back to sleep," I say and step past him. "I don't know if after all you've told me, I can still sleep at all," he said and shook with his head.
"What is bothering you? The fact that I am cheating on Jorge?"
He shake his head.
"Then what?"
"We were indulge in passion," he repeats after me. I laugh: "Oh, Alex."
"Nothing, oh, Alex. Every time when I'll close my eyes, I'll see my older brother banging my cousin."
I roll with my eyes: "Don't exaggerate. This is love. I think it's time for you to find a girlfriend with whom you'll do all this. Good night," I say, then I go back to the room and lie next to Marc.
"Sara, wake up," I hear Marc's voice and feel a sweet and soft kiss on my lips. I smile and open my eyes. He is standing in front of me topless and wearing only jeans. He's perfect. "Good morning," I mutter. "Morning, love. It is time to leave," he said as I yawn. "I don't want to go back," I say sadly. "I know. Me neither. But... we have to face reality. I packed our things. Get dressed and I'll take our things into the car."
He turns around and puts on his T-shirt. "Marc," I say when he turns back to me. "I love you," I smiled. "I love you, too," he replies and returned me smile. Then he leaves the room, and I get up and look out the window. Suddenly something squeezes me in my stomach and I get sick. I quickly run to the bathroom and I threw up everything I ate yesterday (and at night).
"Sara, are you okay?" sister asks me, who just passes the bathroom. "Yeah," I say briefly, then slowly stand up. "I think it would be good if you visit a doctor," she said worriedly. "No, no. I probably ate something bad," I said when I rinse my mouth. "This is happening very often," she insists. "You know I have a sensitive stomach," I insist too. "Girls! We're only waiting for you!" dad called. "Just a minute!" Gloria calls back.
"I'm going to change," I say and walk past her. "Have you already got your period?" she asks when she comes after me in the room. "Can I dress up in peace, please?" I said to her and take clothes, which Marc left me, from the closet. "Fine, we'll talk later," she said, leaving the room. "Period..." I say and take my bag. I look for my period calendar and look on it. Five days. It's five days late. "Ah, there is no reason to worry. They both were cautious," I say and put calendar back to the bag. I quickly put down Marc's T-shirt, then I wear panties and bra.
*Beeep*Beeep*
My phone rings.
I take a quickly look and see that Jorge wrote to me.

Jorge <3
I'm on the plane.
When I get to the apartment, I text you. <33
