I jumped up and run towards the door when the doorbell rang. I had to leave as soon as possible. I was suffocating.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap4AvDoNKI
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNYPbCiiVn
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvyxmzRnld
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtSNUMXP2H
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno9o1P5Pp8
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpOHaJGJq0
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecU8H7QsIy
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkZO2L8VWF
“It wasn’t necessary,” he replied.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqkkzH4IL5
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTKm8ao6sC
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhzX0nG2KX
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5G4i3YHf9
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZK5NbANZ1
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OSZ5u49dt
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kT8vjRxYa
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8xuN8vJ1b
“What’s that supposed to mean?” he frowned.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNsNbyhwb5
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv06bUTvM1
“Nothing,” I lied “I’ll stay with James for a while,” I mumbled “I need to calm down, obviously.”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW0g79zU5V
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3aO5X6bEE
“Your semester finals are in ten days,” he frowned.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8kUwXUt7g
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvJFbZILLv
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmgLfSm7PY
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LC7ZDGZgb
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5zRBXWix3
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEb8JP379j
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbGRg2ZAms
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKltpHqIb2
“Are you sure, your bug will take you up there?” he smiled. I narrowed my eyes took a step back.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAiyLkJoaw
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkYlwbPQzn
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELqT7yDGB6
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqg12WTY2N
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY3kWsjx4M
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5V0QE9LAo
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxigHLxXUj

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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5OI0hxZBr
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoOd2Jsyhs
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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Yfso2h82
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnbjqjlH2U
“When are you coming home?” Damien asked while we were on the phone.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5imKYW4kR
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JRPREXCBt
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF7JTAc30l
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFznrDUAsv
“I’ll try and talk to her,” he said.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIwnI5bMxp
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm33tB4BnO1
“Please, don’t argue because of me,” I pleaded.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EgRVbMkDp
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFIrBc7bqy
“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!”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm7aM83upi
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFofJ7PTlTV
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyBR5MqDu4
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnWq8PVO85
“That sounded like a goodbye, Erica,” he said and I could hear his frown.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8ZYMdkUzo
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJl7u2AsOb
“It’s not a goodbye you dramatic fool,” I replied.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qUuntUgSo
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceFi6nDMpJ
“If I’m being dramatic, then what are you?” he mocked.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6pkyBkK4P
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsI3U4CxyT
“Overdramatic?” I tried to make a joke.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP8y4buHqf
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mCW8IRlRy
“I’m coming over tomorrow, to see you,” he said; completely changing the subject.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfaD0v4Ooa
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUlpJhY8A6
“You don’t have to drive all the way up here,” I frowned. Even if I miss your pretty face so much!530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIEpNpQSAc
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHycbfv1Mgz
“If you don’t want me to come, just tell me,” he breathed. He really was being overdramatic.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDEu7NV19E
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFP8n7YANC
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBAFAMrlJ1
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4HEk1FFhp
“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.”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOp64VS0sl
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PgA1c57D5
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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33oLPAblW0
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWyTjb1BNs
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?530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aXb0rUT9i
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kEika1rJw
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?530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF8JyYphS7
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5KmiaUNCo

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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCv2jpmq42
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXIIo6tdEB
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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SII34v9pW
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCMdTH7WyW
“Missed me?” I grinned after I fastened my seatbelt and turned towards him. I looked at him, trying to take in his form.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQcWYVci6K
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPt8t2AOXv
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDcfF68h1v
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwb9XKCWlh
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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhkUBxhpJ6
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvOcQZXHV1
“Don’t I get a kiss?”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ87zpoTUD
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTYGv4JIOX
“You didn’t miss me,” I raised my eyebrows pretending not to care. I pulled away and took a step away from him.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfH4vOXSIc
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuwSXWhiCg
“Come here,” he smirked and gripped my wrist; pulling me back.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7KFHCSsEh
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4VTFyYWvK
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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Prujw9T6f
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzGXoDVIPy
“I’ll shave if you come back,” he offered; the small dimple visible on his left cheek.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTPYmOEzBn
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpj3018Gv8
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ4mQrxSB6

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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mLFoXD8h1
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGvQnFro6A
«“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkgm3QYkMf
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPOokkRo2w
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JJgEkW3ou
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHLC5evhbu
“No it wasn’t,” I shook my head “I’m just…” I winced and looked at the table; the words abandoning me.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx1Ls1RhEr
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwAXJQfw3c
“Yeah,” he breathed sounding disappointed.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU12Ad08SZq
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTnA8Rv5lH
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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfDbFJclH6
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQwUarBbPw
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WiFUTu3pz
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD5F7Rr5np
“Yeah,” I replied.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu76WVqfcuL
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0rNkVsTSO
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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2rqQldYwX
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBS8xNnZCT
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vv6yEmyqd
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRHhiAXSQS
“Can’t park here,” he replied. I scoffed and shook my head. I haven’t heard a lamest excuse.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPLLSoHsEf

“Whatever,” I mumbled and unfastened my seatbelt.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuomz9OcWTj

“What about your brother?”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o0CnLeWBA

“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBW2UOeTGM
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLKHbPKvqo
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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrfWqxRr2w
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyomXT8VwlK
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw1ovtTP0C
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHhE7KWzO1
Once we got inside James apartment, I got out of my coat and asked Damien if he wanted anything to drink.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN7TfHk7a7
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelXi2KzOue
“You sleep here I assume?” he smiled as he sat down on the couch.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngaa7dSdlm
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyHxdNGVFp
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AZopjQD8h
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5K8w9zVgf
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3hnMwqGdP
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZf8Le4Okh
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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uUo5kviWZ
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75YGz2ZOFR
“Hurry to get dressed?” Damien asked with a smirk on his lips.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGAyqpElhF
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIOoVMfrKG
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBG95ofzYI
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5ugPmKstL
“I’ve missed you,” I whispered; my voice hoarse as his lips moved to my neck.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmLYaJEFEV
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpSrQweXKN
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh0eZr6IbU
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPmbB6oXQs
“Got any condoms with you?” I mumbled against his lips.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4YRt7WVnL

“Yeah,” he nodded and kissed my neck.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64M9LFBuI1
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzc2CY60Gt
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw2eIfDV38

530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTZU3gINN9
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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLF74EJNO6

“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJmoU7aHo1

“Oh,” was all I managed to voice. I licked my lips and breathed. What that meant for us? Did he mean that we were breaking up? I gathered my thoughts and took a deep breath.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡley5jX9YVN

“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwua854nfZ

“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i5L5AtXb1

“Um,” I mumbled and took a breath “When are you leaving?”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWQ2Ch0M06

“In two weeks,” he sighed and leaned over to the coffee table to put the cigarette stub in the ashtray.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLBv7gU2un

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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzxk84I6qn

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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAmjxrSx7s

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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tt6KtvrgZ

“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoJrTqZ28o

“Hi,” I called to Max.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsAPqOQpYL
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErnoB0K3T1
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZje3m23eb
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAnYSxR6mn
“Wait,” I said and took the phone from his hand.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJyqfGlY8f

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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYHETJhRBz

“Stalker!” I mocked and put the phone next to him.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZmpIW2rWU

“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQkZBsN3A4
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRIwNQrBDo
“More of what?” I frowned and pulled back.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem7CfRc52f
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KrGzvJ0Je
“More photographs of you,” he raised his eyebrows.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98MC515Zi2

“You better show me,” I narrowed my eyes as he shifted in front of me to put the cigarette in the ashtray.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOka09P54O9

“No,” he shook his head. “You won’t let me keep them,” he explained.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeC6lPU84K

“What the hell? You have nude pictures?” I frowned and grabbed the device again.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy06FBORpn

“Don’t!” he warned.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S642Yb3XA

“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHUbq0VUgJ

“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolbU4IGFon

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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YtjOve9xV

“You haven’t asked me one thing,” he whispered, his heartbeat quickening and he released my hands; his face going serious.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfc46Qmthg

“What?” I asked.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB912rFvh8
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7j6uF2giU
“Not to go,” he replied. I felt my heart beating like a drum set. I put my hands on either side of his head.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6Q7LDUylJ

“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqix3FTcpN3
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoSR5tNvwv
“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.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6UdqHJy7P
