CHAPTER TWO
The resort was called "Hidden Paradise", with locations from different places. Cottages are categorized into two parts, the deluxe with cosier and wider inside and the regular cottages which I have chosen because I couldn't afford expensive rooms..
This place holds memories with my ex-husband, and I chose to come here to forget. I must have been insane to make this move..
I was getting ready for my date with this young man who saved my life from almost drowning the other night. That is to give back the kindness he has done.
I put on my skinny jeans and a fitted blouse then topped it with a jacket to hide some bulges in my tummy. My bulges are proof that I bore three kids and of course, I'm 42, I couldn't be as sexy as 20 years old girl. I still couldn't believe I was dating this man, but I can't reject his invitation, he saved my life the other night.
It was seven in the evening when he knocked at my door... He was wearing a white polo shirt tucked in faded blue jeans... He was looking really young and gorgeous, with his almost tan skin.
He looked astonished upon seeing me. But maybe, it was because I was fresher, unlike the first time we met. We walked slowly at the beach while we're talking. Unlike the other night, tonight the tides were calm and the moon is shining. We made a few strolls while gazing at the calming sea, with few stars that started peeping at us...
We made it at last to his place. Unlike my cottage, his place is much bigger and cosier. Maybe the most expensive room in the resort. His dining table was already set, with a wine and two glasses waiting for us. He assisted me at the dining room and we sat facing each other.
He succeeded to fancy me when he served seafood for dinner. It was so delicious but I tried not to eat too much, or he might think I'm a voracious eater. Although I think I might. After I had my separation I ate a lot lately. We talked about his business and a little about my books. He asked about my kids and finally, I was able to ask about his family... He said he is single, never been married although he was still in a relationship. His partner lives in Canada, although she has been asking him to migrate there with her, he has refused the offer.
Drinking a few glasses of wine made me asked a lot about him, that he kindly answered. The dinner ended but we continued drinking wine while chatting. He turned on the radio with some classic songs. I thought the ambience has become romantic but kept myself reserved. I attempted to say goodnight but when I stood from sitting I got dizzy and I almost fell but he held my shoulder.
" I think you're not an alcoholic person, you easily get drank", he said. With his face almost touching my face. I could feel his warm breath...
" You are right. I never drink, it was only lately to forget." I said trying to avoid his gaze...
" He isn't worth dying for you know," he said. He was talking about my suicidal act the other night.
" I know, but 20 years together isn't just a small thing," I answered trying to set free myself from his hold.
His touch really electrified me, but I was trying to hold myself. He was looking into my eyes and trying to gaze deeper into my soul..This man is making me uneasy.. He let me go at last.
" I have to go it's getting late," I said in relief after he finally moved away.
" I'll take you into your cottage!" He offered... And I couldn't say any knowing I'm too dizzy, if I walk alone I might fall again. I realized I wiggle while walking... He took my hand and the more I became so weak.
But before we could go out his door, he took me in his arms and I stood facing him. Our eyes locked in each other while he embraced me, his eyes were asking for permission and I answered by opening my mouth. He kissed my lips and I felt the release.
The longing after all the pain I've been through. Yes, I need to feel wanted after I've been rejected by the only man in my life.
He kissed me gently at first trying to look for signs of disapproval but I was really out of my mind that moment. He felt my submission so he continued while his one hand caressed my back..
He took me in his bed, and he continued kissing me. I was in the state of rebellion after my annulment. I could see in my mind my ex-husband's face with another woman, if he had done it, then I should find my happiness too.
Nick whispered in my ears if it's okay if he undresses me, I just closed my eyes and nodded... He did all the move although as gently as he could.. And that night, I made the sweetest mistake in my whole life.. I made love to this young man.
I woke up early in the morning in Nick's arms and slowly removed his hands that was still hugging me. He was in deep sleep when I got dressed and went out of his cottage.
Outside I could feel the cold air engulfing my body. The sea so calm and the sun was about to rise any minute. But I ran back inside my room. I packed my things quickly and left the resort as fast as I could so he won't be able to see me again.. I knew in my heart it was a beautiful experience but the stupidest thing I did. Because I made love to a total young stranger.
