I knew I shouldn't do it. There were million reasons not to, but one was above them. The strongest one. Love. I was looking at him and my heartbeat got slower. I was in total peace, standing there and looking at the most special person, this beautif...
"It's so nice to have you here, Victoria," Corin told and she let me in.
"Thank you again. I don't know what would I do without you, seriously. My mom and dad say hi, by the way. And they thank you, too. You're very kind to me,"I turned to her and we hugged.
She was so beautiful. Like that kind of girl that makes your whole confidence drop to zero. She was tall and slim. Seriously, if someone from Victoria's Secret saw her, she would be accepted immediately. She had long black hair, shiny hair and awfully beautiful blue eyes with long eyelashes. With her plump pink lips and small nose she was one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. She seriously looked like a porcelain doll.
"That's okay, you know. We're family. Now, come on in. Make yourself at home," she smiled and helped me with suitcase, "you are home here from now on."
"Are you still sure I'm not gonna interrupt you here?" To be honest, I did not fell good about this. She was entitled to have her own privacy and I was here like third wheel.
"No! Are you kidding me? This duplex is too big for me. Also, my boyfriend stays here from time to time, hope you don't mind. He's a nice guy," she added which made me laugh.
"I have nothing against it, don't worry," I smiled and looked around me, "it's very beautiful in here."
"Right? I know! Those were actually two flats, one on ours, 12th floor and other one on 13th, but the owner bought them both and made it like this. I absolutely fell in love when I saw it for the first time. But I'm still talking, oh! You must be hungry and tired, Victoria. Are you vegan?" she asked.
"Actually no, but I'm okay with vegan food," I smiled, "and if you don't mind, I will eat whatever you have here, I'm starving," I confessed and she laughed.
I stood up from couch and made it to the dining room. It was all connected, kitchen, living room and dining room and I loved it. At my hometown, I lived in the house ,so this was something new to me.
"Here you go, hope you'll like it. You don't have other choice, actually," she laughed and once again, I was in awe, how can someone be this beautiful. That's not fair at all.
"Wow, it's really good, Corin!"I delightfully closed my eyes.
"Thank you, thank you, my dear cousin. I'm not a big cook, so thank you so much!"
I finished eating and stood up.
"Would you tell me where the bathroom is? I'd really love to have a shower," I looked at her.
"Sure. There are two bathrooms. The one down here has only shower, but the other one up has a big bath. I strongly recommend. And also, my room as at the end of the corridor, so, the other one is yours. Go on, relax. We can talk later, I have a free day today and tomorrow's the weekend, I'll take you somewhere with Skeet, do you agree?"
"Who's Skeet?" I didn't get it at first. I was too tired.
"My boyfriend, Victoria," she reminded me.
"Oh, sure. I'm okay. I'm gonna take the bath, then. And Corin?"
"Yes?" she looked away from her phone.
"Once again, thank you," I smiled thankfully.
"Oh, stop it! My pleasure to have my little cousin here. Now, go on, rest a little bit," she rushed me with a smile.
I came into my room. It was very beautiful. Sharp lines, all white, huge bed, one table with drawers, fluffy carpet and one aloe vera, some other two plants which names I don't know, clock on the wall, some pictures... It was pretty and cozy. I went to bathroom to run the water and in that time I unpacked some things. Then I undressed myself and slowly laid into the hot water. I felt how are my muscles getting lazy and relaxed. In the mean time I called my parents to tell them, that I'm okay and I ate, after that I send the group message to my friends that I'm in Vancouver and I missed them. They responded immediately and my eyes started to get very teary.
"Don't cry, Victoria. You'll be good," I repeated to myself.
I washed my hair, treated it with oil mask while I cleaned my skin with micellar water and scrub. Then I dry myself and put body cream on and some herbal cream on my face. I let my wet dark brown hair be and put my short black bathrobe on.
"Corin, I was about to as...," I did not finish, as I stopped in the middle of stairs.
There were two people down there.
Corin ... and her boyfriend.
"Hey, I'm Skeet," he smiled and I died a little bit inside.
He was older. I didn't knew how old he was, but older. He had black semi-curly hair, some strands fell into his forehead. His dark brown, almost black eyes scanned me, but not in somehow unpleasant way, it was pure curiosity. He was really tall and well built. When he smiled I could see the soft wrinkles around his eyes. They told me that he likes to laugh. He had a little beard, a stubble I'd say and nice warm smile. His huge hand squeezed my little one, and God forbid me, I started to imagine what he could do with those hands.
Okay, stop, Victoria.
"I'm Victoria, Corin's cousin," I stuttered.
"I know," he smiled politely, "she told me about you, I finally now have the pleasure to meet you in a person."
Perfect gentleman.
And so so beautiful.
Stop it!
"I ... I leave you two here and I'm gonna get dressed," I said quickly and I ran up to my room, totally embarrassed.
Holy shit.
HOLY.
SHIT.
