After Eternity

Chapter 17

I.

Sunday morning the weather was still not helping. It was drizzling but Diana decided to go for a run. She put on black leggings and a pink shirt and she decided to play Aerosmith on her phones that day and took off running down the road even before she had anything to eat.

As Steven Tyler rung in her ears, events of the previous day played in her mind. The kiss they had shared made Diana gasp and she wasn't even tired yet. Then all the sex played in her mind in slow motion. It had been amazing. It had been what she expected and more. Maybe the fact that he was older, more experienced, had something to do with it, but she had never experienced such intense pleasure as that day. They had done it twice, for she stayed a while longer and they talked for a while but succumbed to desire shortly after once more.

While she ran, she started to picture him in her mind. His smile was just to die for. The sound of his voice was incredible. The way he held her close when he kissed her felt beyond right. His kiss was irresistible... Diana stopped running and rested her hands on her knees gasping intensely.

"Damn it..." She cursed. She couldn't concentrate and worse than that, she would have to face him the day after at the office. "God..." She spoke alone remembering that. Would she be able to face him? Of course, she would... she was an adult and so was he. They should be able to deal quite well with the events. Nothing should come between their professionalism. They both wanted it, that was so clear to her. He wanted it as much as she did.

Shaking her fears away, Diana started running again. She really needed to exhaust her body. She ran until she reached the beach and then she walked up until the shore and sat on the sand staring at the sea. She was wetting her leggings, but she didn't care, she would shower first thing when she got back home. She stared at the far horizon just thinking about her life and suddenly Jack popped up in her mind.

"Oh... my God..." She whimpered. "You just had amazing sex with an amazing guy, and you remember him?"

She talked all alone but then she realized Jack had popped up in her mind just to remember how she hadn't been thinking about him lately. Jack had been away from her mind for quite some time and she hadn't realized that. Diana smiled at her acknowledgement. At least something good came out of that thought.

As it started to rain; Diana came back home. When she entered the house, she was quite soaked wet, but she went upstairs straight into the shower. She opened the water to let it warm and then disposed of all her clothes, putting herself under water. Diana let the water fall on her and she remembered that the day before after a shower to warm up from the rain, she had James in her arms.

"Jesus..." She breathed resting with a hand against the wall in front of the shower. "I've had sex with him already, shouldn't this type of thoughts be gone?" She spoke all alone feeling a little frustrated.

She felt that instead of disappearing, she had just awaked something else in her. Diana turned her face to the water and let his wash away her mind with it. After being under water enough time, she closed the water and grabbed the grey towel to dry her body. That's when she heard her phone ringing and ran to it. Pam's name was on the display.

"Hey..." Diana said smiling as she answered the call. "I thought I was going to find you here today."

"No... I came to Danny's. How was it?"

"How was what?" Diana asked her not knowing exactly what she was talking about.

"Yesterday!" There Diana understood and she stayed silent maybe a little longer for Pam spoke again. "Diana, are you still there?"
