Can't believe 2015 is like one day away! A quick little update for you all. <3 It's been a busy month but I'll try and update longer chapters! Happy New Year to everyone in advance!
“Breathe Katy.” I didn’t realize I was holding my breath. I slowly exhaled, with my eyes fixed with his.
“Do you want to seduce me?” I asked him.
A twisted smile spread across his face. “Yes, but not right now. I just need to examine you are not hurt.” I turned red. I didn’t know how this would feel. No matter how much I had wanted this, I wasn’t expecting this right now.
“Can we turn off the lights?” I don’t know why but I was suddenly feeling shy. It had been forever since Alex had been this close to me. He nodded sincerely and switched off all of the lights.
Then, he lit up a vanilla scented candle and very slowly, he lifted the rim of the dress over my head. His eyes looked nervous. He inhaled sharply as I stood in front of him in my essentials in the diffused light. He slowly placed both his hands on my shoulders. I closed my eyes, letting the sweet sensation possess me. His hands were warm and almost instantly, an electric shock went mad inside my entire body. I wanted him. I needed him, badly, now. His hands worked their way downwards until he reached my waist. I stepped closer to him.
“Or maybe I should call for a doctor to examine you.” He removed his hands. He spoke with sourness and restraint. He moved back and picked up the white bed sheet and wrapped it around me. He tucked in the ends. No!! There was a smug smile on his face that he wasn’t able to conceal. He was doing this on purpose! Was this his stupid, twisted way of revenge? I was definitely going to get him back for this. He then pulled out his mobile phone and began dialing the hotel reception. All my senses fell back down, defeated. I flopped on the bed, annoyed.
“I have one question. Do you want me because of Angela?” I said her name reluctantly, later that night, wrapped around his arms, in bed. I needed to get this out of the way. The thought had been killing me since forever.
“Oh Jesus! No, Katy. I was confused in the beginning too. It explained everything-why I was drawn towards you the instant I saw you sitting wrapped in a robe outside Stacy’s. Oh what an alluring sight you were! That baby pink robe matched the color of your cheeks so well. Well any man would’ve been on his knees at the sight though. ” A wry smile flashed across his face as he recalled the embarrassing memory. I recalled it too and I could feel myself flushing bright red.
“You’re straying from the topic.” I said, trying to distract him.
“I thought a lot over it. And the truth is we have come a long way since then. I don’t love you for your face. To be honest Katy, Angela and I weren’t really in love. It was a teenage thing. She knew that too. We weren’t that serious. I made up the marriage stuff to rebel against my father. I didn’t understand him back then. I was more depressed that Angela died because of me rather than I lost the love of my life. I don’t care if you look like Angela or Angelina Jolie. I love what’s in here.” He placed a hand on my heart. It started pounding faster and faster. Suddenly, that was all the confirmation I needed. Maybe, beneath the frozen ice, was his heart too, still warm and beating, waiting to be rescued. I just had to break in his walls.
Maybe I could give this a shot………
“Yes.” I said.
“Yes what?” He looked at me, puzzled.
“Yes, I accept your proposal.”
His eyes shone brightly and he lifted me in his arms and kissed me passionately. “Thanks baby. I’ll make it worth your while.” I smiled. I would give anything in the world to see this man happy.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” He looked at me seriously now.
I nodded my head. “I’ve never been any surer.”
“I’m going to leave after……..you know.”
“Let’s not talk about it.” Before he could say anything further, I sealed his lips with a chaste kiss.
The next morning I woke up to a sweet, exotic, exquisite scent; as if Alex had been bottled into a perfume-strong, powerful, intoxicating and consuming. There was a huge bouquet of rare black roses on the bed beside me. I picked one out but one of my fingers got cut by the thorns. Why didn’t the florist take care of that? I read the note on it.
‘Katy, this relationship is like these roses, it comes with its own thorns. When the roses will wither, the thorns will still remain. Know what you’re getting yourself into.’
It’s too late Mr. Parker. I have already jumped off the cliff. There’s no going back now. I thought to myself.
I looked around for Alex but he wasn’t there. I noticed our bags were already packed. I decided to take a quick, hot shower before leaving.
While showering, I heard the door click shut outside. Alex must be back. I wrapped the robe around myself and looked at myself in the mirror. It was like yesterday only I had showered in Stacy’s bathroom. I recalled the bittersweet memories when an idea struck me. I remembered what Alex had mentioned it to me the previous night. Maybe that’ll help bring the old Alex back. The robe was white, but it would do the job. I brought my hair to the front, spreading them around my shoulders. Then bare-foot, I stepped outside.
