I jumped up and run towards the door when the doorbell rang. I had to leave as soon as possible. I was suffocating.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJSL6W1ZlQ
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNX0pdjnku
“Hey,” I breathed as soon my eyes met his tall figure. His presence somehow eased my insides. Damien frowned as he walked passed me. He studied me for a while before speaking.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71OUqzIXEn
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq16GB0WWl
“Why are you really leaving?” he asked and put a cigarette between his lips. I took my eyes away from him and walked to the fridge to get the food containers, my mother instructed on taking with me. He followed me with his eyes.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaYzWZM0RL
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirgAczcm3F
“I talked to Cleo,” I replied; my voice low but steady. I heard him breathe out the smoke. “Why you never told me she wasn’t talking to you?” I asked and put the food containers on the kitchen counter as I turned to look at him; the hurt visible in my features and voice.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0F13xubAM
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA6UDazqfC
“It wasn’t necessary,” he replied.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1uV05pf2O
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJwFMvrRTt
“I was anxious because I didn’t know what she thought about us. Well it’s obvious she made up her mind as soon as I told her!” I exclaimed.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BLBBa94Sj
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsguzCR3gsy
“First of all,” he said and took the cigarette between his index finger and his thumb to remove it from his lips “Calm down,” he looked at me.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfiSyO2PiL
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxmi1cpYtQ
“She’s your sister!” I threw my hands in the air “I’m her best friend,” I said; my voice turning down “I can’t do that,” I winced.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXw3S1MTtY
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjQIYbpuYN
“What’s that supposed to mean?” he frowned.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9iQ2rddez
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAvdCy6qNc
“Nothing,” I lied “I’ll stay with James for a while,” I mumbled “I need to calm down, obviously.”528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXpFggzcTJ
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevPNyNHKEf
“Your semester finals are in ten days,” he frowned.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI1GYKOANH
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOEF6woWor
“I know,” I said. I didn’t want to say that I’ll be back by then. I didn’t know what was going to happen. I hated leaving him behind. I took the food containers from the counter and walked out the garage and left them on the passenger’s seat.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP31aluafUg
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgV46J1zq2
“Can I still call you?” he asked. I turned towards him. He looked anxious as he stood in the doorway, gazing at me with those amazing grey eyes. I couldn’t help but smile a little.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLks2tb6F2W
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsdrFEjqHx
“Of course,” I told him and walked up to him. I put my arms around his neck and pulled him to my level for a small kiss. A smile appeared on his lips too.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMBtDxk6gz
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NP6cmuE5c
“Are you sure, your bug will take you up there?” he smiled. I narrowed my eyes took a step back.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXxVF3Ig0A
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpGzIeH9aS
“Leave my bug alone, Simmons,” I shook my finger into his face. He chuckled and grabbed my finger. “Ouch!” I exclaimed as he twisted it.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGu59hmvsq
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaQHQ54KSW
“Just a reminder,” he smirked; my favorite dimple appeared on his left cheek. I stood on my toes and put my arms around his neck again. He leaned down and touched his lips to mine, parting them and stroking my tongue with his. “Call me as soon as you get there please,” he said when he released me.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB7TrAAGbP
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZI5CVeFBk
“Okay,” I nodded and locked the door to my garage. I wasn’t planning on letting him know about what Cleo and I actually talked about.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rQ1ikM4Nl

I’ve been staying with James for the past five days and been talking to Damien everyday; not at all trying to disguise the discomfort I feel. Max said that Cleo was in her room all day, pretending to study.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvS1XdgzVP
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9bo53ekHf
I was occupying my brother’s living room pretending to do the same thing. The first night I arrived he sat me down and wanted to know why I was playing fugitive. After I explained everything, he said I was right. Kind of. He said that running away wasn’t the right move. I should have stayed there, according to my brother, and fight for the right to be with Damien. James was right and I am a coward! The fact that my confidence had abandoned me was a huge reason for my departure.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXGzlPOUam
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13TYHVt2R1
“When are you coming home?” Damien asked while we were on the phone.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4isBeIwbzv
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneKSrs9lcW
“I don’t know,” I replied “It’s nice out here,” I lied. Damien scoffed. “Cleo hasn’t even tried to contact me,” I mumbled defeated and he sighed.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboJTgLmODT
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aqgBr7JM4
“I’ll try and talk to her,” he said.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1fz8dN2yK
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CWfNHp0DK
“Please, don’t argue because of me,” I pleaded.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrzBqBguEG
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uDk4QAwbm
“Ladybug, I’m gonna kick your ass!” he exclaimed. I jumped up from the sudden change in his voice. “Either you want us to talk or not!”528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX0JZp1JyU
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fef0uuqkE
“Yes! Talk! Not fight!” I argued. Damien groaned impatiently. I exhaled and fell back to the couch. “I would appreciate it if you solve this,” I breathed “For now, the only thing I can do is disappear from your life for a while,” I mumbled.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HJYyyCrBb
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP00J8cKJt
“That sounded like a goodbye, Erica,” he said and I could hear his frown.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13x2uaw2as
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GHVs8ChTW
“It’s not a goodbye you dramatic fool,” I replied.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxELAIlYUq
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLybSMJuGOs
“If I’m being dramatic, then what are you?” he mocked.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmFuVSVnnK
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ytn0iWVnG
“Overdramatic?” I tried to make a joke.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjBTn9Ee3h
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nSsv02zAo
“I’m coming over tomorrow, to see you,” he said; completely changing the subject.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrB9pkWsN5
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpcKY01NBz
“You don’t have to drive all the way up here,” I frowned. Even if I miss your pretty face so much!528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsg9n25GIb
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5MysLWKW4
“If you don’t want me to come, just tell me,” he breathed. He really was being overdramatic.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeMcsc5EC2
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IEmaLMPhb
“What’s with you today?” I groaned “I’ll try and go to the supermarket tomorrow because James says that I’ll ruin his couch if I stay on it a bit longer,” I heard him sighing impatiently “So, call me when you’re near, to give you directions,” I said.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwpDxQN62n
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmQ651D38Y
“Okay,” he said and I wish I could see that goofy smile of his face that always made me giggle. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJq7e3DEsn
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrv7arfOt2
We hang up the phone and I left the device on the coffee table. I snuggled up in my blankets and cried myself to sleep like I did for the past five days I was away. It hurt that I couldn’t enjoy being with him. I had a feeling that it would end soon. If only I could relax and enjoy this while it lasted.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyoD9EndbI
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsWlOAAwPG
But, it’s already been a month. Maybe this was it. I was scared that when I’d see him I’d talk about what Cleo had said and that it would be the end of us. I knew that he wasn’t a relationship guy right from the start. But why do I get myself into situations like this all the time?528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzvWL5CvkN
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOChtPMQnC
I wasn’t good enough for him but he wouldn’t stay with me long enough to find out, so I guess that was a good thing? Then why was he always saying that he wouldn’t leave me?528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HOLF1Mqep
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzWDYMn66b

Damien wanted to go out for dinner instead of just staying in, so we had arrange to pick me up and maybe later come back to James apartment. It was so nice seeing him after six days. It was the longest time we’ve been apart since we got together. Even before that, I would see him every two days. Thankfully my mood was good, unlike all the previous days, because I was excited to see him.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVJ89UggLC
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjGPbgWWPD
I was waiting for him outside James building and first saw him when I got in the car. I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek as I rushed in the car because he couldn’t park his M6 on the sidewalk.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV8rPaBlZq
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Oe5hyTLqe
“Missed me?” I grinned after I fastened my seatbelt and turned towards him. I looked at him, trying to take in his form.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO8QJ3ELq1
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS6HlSHGAe
“No, I was just passing by,” he mocked but kept a straight face. I scoffed and turned forward again. I changed the radio station and sat back on my seat. We pretended to ignore each other, though I could see his smirk as he drove.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWbundRhPx
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdmpgpyfMl
Once he parked the car in the restaurant parking lot, I got out and waited to meet him behind the car. He walked up to me, a smirk on his lips. The small dimple on his left cheek made me narrow my eyes instead of giggling. He put his hands on my waist and pulled me close.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76lFL7vgzJ
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jOoSoI4CF
“Don’t I get a kiss?”528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HrMG5HpVF
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8TZk610Vo
“You didn’t miss me,” I raised my eyebrows pretending not to care. I pulled away and took a step away from him.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9pIm8T8YC
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsXluISyza
“Come here,” he smirked and gripped my wrist; pulling me back.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z3PNnXLZ3
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8RK8HUDu9
He put his palms against my cheeks and pulled me in for a kiss. As soon as our lips met, my hands shot up around his wide shoulders and pulled him closer. I parted my lips and cupped his full top lip before he pushed his tongue into my mouth. A soft moan escaped my lips as he deepened the kiss and pulled me tightly against his body. I breathed through my nose but the oxygen wasn’t enough and I had to pull away from him. I traced his unshaved face and smiled.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oEhK62iUo
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSBqf8243O
“I’ll shave if you come back,” he offered; the small dimple visible on his left cheek.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR19v8t4Lg
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4376eihMrS
“Then I’m not coming back,” I grinned “I like you like this,” I raised my eyebrows and my grin turned into a smirk. “It suits you.” He smiled and kissed me once again.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP8gh4u1FU

Several times during dinner I caught myself being more quiet than usual; silently worrying if this was right or not. I was okay when I first saw him but every minute I spend inside my head was driving me straight into depression. Lately I was feeling closer to Damien and I slowly started opening up to him and then Cleo said all those things to me. It made me doubt everything. I felt scared again.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLYtEz2nl1
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0blZxDHSgs
«“You’ll get hurt! He’s always between relationships. Never stayed with one girl for too long! I’m not enough for him. He’s not for you! I’ll never be enough,» Her words and mine mixed together in my head pushing me under and under.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADvkpjYvjV
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfam8jSf0Va
“Apparently this was a bad idea,” I heard Damien mumbling from next to me as he sipped his drink. I frowned and turned towards him.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb0FgkpIEC
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0vqXG5Xbt
“No it wasn’t,” I shook my head “I’m just…” I winced and looked at the table; the words abandoning me.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgKks1smeV
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAF2GSpiw8
“Yeah,” he breathed sounding disappointed.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiV5MHKiGA
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP2OsVTk2Y
I felt the tears swelling up inside. I bid down my lip to keep the trembling under control. I averted my eyes and exhaled. He put his hand over mine and squished it. I was tensed and feeling uncomfortable. I heard him exhaling before retrieving his hand. I left mine where it was, longing for his touch. But I was too numb to ask for it.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw1viDkteK
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQavuvmOJC
“Ready to take you back?” he asked. His voice sounded lighter like he wanted to show me that it was a random question; that it had nothing to do with the fact I was so quiet. I thought that he might have wanted to go for a drink or at least come up to James place.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQwpOlX1lJ
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmPcerHiLj
“Yeah,” I replied.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycTEsMcvgS
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6GFJQN6cs
James told me that he would stay at one of his friend’s house tonight so if I wanted, I could tell Damien to stay over. I was a little scared to ask because I wasn’t ready for rejection, but I had missed him so much.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfqRVmIqdd
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaJbYNqtwg
“Do you want to come up?” I found the courage to ask, my voice almost a whisper, as he stopped the car in front of James building.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqAMZsv3qQ
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLzSTibwj3
“Can’t park here,” he replied. I scoffed and shook my head. I haven’t heard a lamest excuse.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVej5y5c6lB

“Whatever,” I mumbled and unfastened my seatbelt.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLQpieY0Zf

“He’ll stay with a friend,” I replied “And you could park in his place,” I said and opened the door “But don’t be forced into anything. Goodnight,” I blurt aggravated as I got out of the car and closed the door behind me.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkrj9UeTdS
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF2ZpfLBsc
I didn’t hear the car engine shutting down or fainting away. Instead I heard the car moving slowly until I saw the black M6 turning into the building’s parking lot. He stopped next me as I walked towards the building door.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi0KhkEicH
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1go5NWLBep
“Are you going to point out his space?” Damien asked me from inside the car. I bid my lower lip and got inside the car again.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo6xm3npeD
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgQG7w9VNp
Once we got inside James apartment, I got out of my coat and asked Damien if he wanted anything to drink.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyHgri25SW
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DWZHuFhNh
“You sleep here I assume?” he smiled as he sat down on the couch.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArB6mSZezn
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuqetACKos
“Yeah, I remove the cushions to have more room,” I smiled back. It was clear he was trying to break the ice. “Do you mind if I change clothes?” I winced.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjXE1jibK5
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jYuDZ9360
“Ladybug, I have seen you in your pajamas more times than I have seen you in actual clothes,” Damien chuckled and shook his head. Indeed it was a weird question to ask.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWip9CbReh0
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR9Y9x9jhC
I chuckled too as I walked to the closet behind the apartment door and fished for the t-shirt and pajama bottoms I was wearing at home. I left them on top of the pile of the folded clothes that were inside the closet and removed my jeans and top. Right when I had my pajama pants in my hands, a set of warm hands were around my body; a set of lips against my shoulder.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EYGfLC4qD
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFayZy6wLi
“Hurry to get dressed?” Damien asked with a smirk on his lips.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHxnIQdB4W
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCAm14Ii18
“You were in a hurry to leave,” I pointed out. He sighed and turned me towards him. He cupped my face and looked at me with his piercing gray eyes before cupping my lips with his own. I moved my lips against his softly before parting them and seek for his tongue. I put my hands under his t-shirt and traced his warm skin.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ETU6jj5Ft
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWNXpGb8Dj
“I’ve missed you,” I whispered; my voice hoarse as his lips moved to my neck.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGlqtAz2on
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiV9rxRogg
“Me too,” he replied and nibbled my skin; a soft moan escaped my throat. He squished my butt and led me towards the couch. As my legs hit the furniture I pushed him lightly back.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeLkBH9g4R
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWPL1T3qdJ
“Got any condoms with you?” I mumbled against his lips.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1cZd8xC0Y

“Yeah,” he nodded and kissed my neck.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiKVOBfyYb
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO0UiN8yA2
“Wait,” I said and took the sheet that was folded at the end of the couch and put it over the furniture. I didn’t want to have to explain to my brother how his couch got ruined. Damien laughed as he moved himself behind me; now squishing my sides. I turned towards him and kissed him again as he pushed me backwards against the cushions.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAYKA7QMhs

528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYfKJDqFez
Only when I was almost asleep those kinds of thoughts would escape the back of my mind. Damien shifted in order to take the pack of cigarettes from the coffee table. He took a cigar from the pack and I felt him as he turned his head away from me to lid on the cigarette.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusQrNG9IFg

“What’s wrong?” I frowned and rested my weight on my elbow to look at him better. Damien frowned. He run his fingers through his messy brown hair and exhaled.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLnxq08PMG

“No,” he shook his head lightly; his dark gray eyes staring back at my brown ones. I sat up and pulled the sheet with me. A piece of fabric was underneath my feet so I couldn’t pull it over my back. I groaned irritated. Damien put the cigarette between his lips and leaned towards me.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkVbCJCz6g

“Tell me more about it,” I told him as I sat against the wall. I stretched out my legs; my thighs pressing his. Damien took his cigarette with his right hand as I was sitting on his left side and rested his, now free, hand on my thighs; stroking my skin.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57qI4JN7Ba

“Um,” I mumbled and took a breath “When are you leaving?”528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F6EWYT83H

“In two weeks,” he sighed and leaned over to the coffee table to put the cigarette stub in the ashtray.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbcrOnS1q1

I nodded, looking elsewhere as I started calculating the days. Today was the 7th. My exams were starting on the 17th . So Damien was leaving the 21st, in the middle of my exams. I didn’t like that.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfQe8Uliin

I pulled my legs back and settled in his left side. He put his hand on my back again and stroked my skin as I put my right arm around his body and pulled him closer.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFID3He6LlH

His phone vibrated from the table making a lot of noise and causing me to jump up. He leaned away from me and took the device.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQDgq02JZ5

“Yeah,” he answered the phone “With Erica,” he said and got my attention “Just tell dad that I’m coming in late tomorrow,” he said and I understood he was talking to Max, since Cleo wasn’t talking to him.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYHMAYJWnb
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSDekwLfcF
“Hi,” I called to Max.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOl75mI5DK
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ7tV6IRY4
“He said hi too,” Damien laughed. “Okay, bye,” he said to Max and disconnected the call. Before Damien put the phone away, I noticed the black and white background picture on his phone and frowned. It looked familiar.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5nQX5ChxH
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV59xcgPZn5
“Wait,” I said and took the phone from his hand.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj5b05N7AR

A girl was sitting on a bed, one leg over the other as she wore her stockings. As I scrutinized the background it looked even more familiar. I could only see one side of her face as her hair were falling down in front of her; barely covering her cleavage. And then it hit me. It was me!I narrowed my eyes and looked at Damien who was grinning.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3uof3f2Y3

“Stalker!” I mocked and put the phone next to him.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9vsxHq87d

“It’s a great photograph,” he smirked; my favorite dimple appearing on his cheek. I smiled and leaned over him. I put my hand against his chest and touched my lips to his; my tongue entering his mouth. He put his free hand around my waist and pulled me closer. “I have more,” he smirked against my lips.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9IOT8Bv6Q
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4AuhGa4pX
“More of what?” I frowned and pulled back.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfNKXyh47q
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts5vquynpY
“More photographs of you,” he raised his eyebrows.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVF4W3V0If

“You better show me,” I narrowed my eyes as he shifted in front of me to put the cigarette in the ashtray.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHQtJGkxqK
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLOKRHaId7
“No,” he shook his head. “You won’t let me keep them,” he explained.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZYXGLVpUj
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHD0ZwOuXa
“What the hell? You have nude pictures?” I frowned and grabbed the device again.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVr6IqVSYP
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P86n7TOhA
“Don’t!” he warned.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO5Z1xhxnk

“Shut up,” I mumbled as I turned my back to him and opened the phone gallery. Damien pulled me backwards and took the phone back. “Hey,” I exclaimed.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOrRdDf1bd
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEnwoD0yel
“Shh,” he said and pinned me against the mattress and left the phone on the coffee table next to us. I fought to overpower him but with no success.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMNqIBsyim
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXyqIfyQoZ
He positioned himself between my legs, keeping my hands pinned down. I wrapped my legs around him and bid my lower lip, grinning. He leaned over me and kissed my neck slowly until he reached my collarbone. He, then, moved his lips upwards and traced my jaw line before he looked into my eyes.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuicGlSBKYn

“You haven’t asked me one thing,” he whispered, his heartbeat quickening and he released my hands; his face going serious.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSIwqg5B1H
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnP2WSUcHp
“What?” I asked.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnsxBOSSuH
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDgPjw3x3K
“Not to go,” he replied. I felt my heart beating like a drum set. I put my hands on either side of his head.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvo6T5UVoN

“I can’t ask you that,” I shook my head lightly. Before I could explain any further I saw him raising his eyebrows and shaking his head; like he meant to say that he expected that from me. “I can never ask you to let an opportunity like that pass you by, Damien,” I explained. He searched my eyes for a while.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpgYmOxlIv
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk5sGwQe88
“Okay,” he finally nodded and touched his full lips to mine. I hoped that what I said was enough. I didn’t want to complicate things more by saying something more.528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHBU0yN2jy
