Darkest Desire (18+)

A DINNER

I have been sitting in my painting room for the past 3 days working on my art piece trying to get everything right.
But god flowers can be boring.
It's a hot summers day and I am sweating like crazy. The outside is what I need to calm myself.

I walk outside quickly putting my hair in a messy bun my fringe pieces falling out. I lay down on the grass the sun shining on my olive legs giving them a slight colour.
My baby blue dress lifting slightly when the wind comes.
I sit eating fruits letting the juices fall down my face as the watermelon enters my mouth I can't help but moan at its flavours

"Hi Lela what you doing" I young voice says as I see mateo lifting himself on the Fence so he can see me I stand up as I walk over to the fence so he can see me the fence being slightly taller than him.
"I am eating fruit what are you doing" I say eating my watermelon
"Well I was playing with mommy but she has to work now will you play with me" he says with puppy eyes looking at me. I see Samantha in the kitchen working on her computer not seeing me.
"We can play ball" he says running to Spider-Man ball
"Um sure okay" I say sitting my fruit on the table as we hit the ball back and to the fence like volleyball

"Mateo what are you doing" Samantha says lightness yet dominance towards her son
"Me and Lela are playing since you left again" he says looking at his mother with anger
Left again?
Samantha looks to me sadness in her face when he son says the words as he storms off down the garden.
"I am sorry about him it's hard moving and I am so busy" she says sighing she looks tired yet so well done up in black work pants and a white blouse and black Heels.
"I understand you are doing amazing he is a lovely child" I say a light smile on her face
"Here" I say giving her the ball back
"Would you like to come over and properly play with him? That's if your not busy" she says not taking the ball from me
"Sure" I say smiling back at her
Looks like she needs the help.

I have been playing with mateo for just over an hour.
Hide and seek,tag,football everything he is such a lovely kid it's nice to have a friend.
Even if he is 5
Samantha has been checking up on me getting us water and treats.
She is in her office and hasn't left only to check on us.
Where is he? Where is Lorenzo?
I sigh not needing to be thinking about him but I can't help it. It's something about him.

"Would you like to stay for dinner dear" her soft voice coming from the kitchen
"Oh please stay Lela" mateo says pulling on my leg
"Sure if that's okay" I say taking mateo hand now walking up to Samantha who is preparing dinner
"Yes of course it's lovely having you here it's nice having a new face" she says adding different spices looking so natural in her business clothes cooking away.
So effortless

"Mateo help me set the table" his dark voice coming up I jump slightly at his words turning around to see him entering the kitchen
"Oh hello Lela" he says shocked at me being here
"Been out all day have we" Samantha says her eyes darting at him
"I have been working" he says taking the place mats and putting them out as his son now helps.
I stand there awkwardly watching them
"Is it work" Samantha says passing him wine as he now snatches it from her
"Yes photography is my job it may not be like yours I am sorry Samantha" he says now leaving the room
"Mateo come wash your hands" he says while leaving and walking upstairs anger in his voice.
So they have some marriage problems

Samantha sighs slightly before smiling at me trying to not make it a situation but I know it is I help us placing the plates down as we all sit down mateo next to me Lorenzo opposite me and Samantha next to him.
I notice how Samantha pours herself a large glass of wine and drinks it nearly all up in one.
"Would you like Some Lela" she says going to pour some into my glass I nod back as she pours me a drink I look up at Lorenzo as he watches me watch the wine fill up
"That's enough Samantha she is only young" he says she wife now placing the bottle down.
"Don't be boring just because we are old" she says laughing
"We are not old" her husband says taking some salad
"Well I don't feel it" he says looking up at me my thighs going tight
"So Lela what do you do" Samantha says as we all eat the food
"Well I was meant to go to college but I wanted to take a year out have time to me in a way" I say smiling up at her
"Oh gosh Lorenzo always wanted to do that didn't you" she says taking another sip of her wine he looks at his wife smiling and nodding at her
"So you are 19" he says bluntly at me I nod back at me with a smile

Dinner goes on again with general conversation Samantha tells me about her work of being a journalist the main reason they moved her she was offered a really good job here she is basically her own boss now.
She has high status's
Samantha goes up to take mateo to bed and I give him a kiss on the cheek before taking the dishes and washing them to help them.
"You don't have to do that" Lorenzo says walking into the kitchen from saying goodnight to his son
"It's okay it's the least I can do" I say scrubbing the plates he walks over to the fridge before getting himself a beer and drying the dishes next to me and putting them away no conversation between us.
There is a tension

Shortly after Samantha comes back and I thank her for the dinner before getting ready to leave.
"Thank you again for having me" I say walking towards the door.
"Don't be silly you are lovely and Mateo loves you he has a soft spot for you" she says
"So do I" I say smiling back her now getting the door
"Goodnight Lela" his voice walking past the door as he walks to the living room not looking at me I smile at Samantha
"Goodnight" I say to her before walking back home
The Goodnight was meant for him....
