I jumped up and run towards the door when the doorbell rang. I had to leave as soon as possible. I was suffocating.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpkXPF562l
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNRxEdNeHQ
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLBmSvSjzB
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt1I0m4iME
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SF0sDnspD
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEpjlwI21Y
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMiLKIRqQi
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwIVkGBDGM
“It wasn’t necessary,” he replied.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyMTlbLc2u
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy60OG8Kzls
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51s3W0f8fI
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKBkSMmiHP
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVmMkX3gg9
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaisQbE18m
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VtZ9Rp0bn
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdADSPcmXo
“What’s that supposed to mean?” he frowned.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61poW3mIfs
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1k9Ab3JYs
“Nothing,” I lied “I’ll stay with James for a while,” I mumbled “I need to calm down, obviously.”523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu76KfEdlp6
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo55IaUfu3W
“Your semester finals are in ten days,” he frowned.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTNrqBcFxQ
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaR5m42crN
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq8p66iYIr
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUbdJJcztx
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8DiAtNE7y
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTrrOl2Fto
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtET3hmE01
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRHNG3CHrG
“Are you sure, your bug will take you up there?” he smiled. I narrowed my eyes took a step back.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe8PN3PmEP
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZycq9CyFNW
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpl8falpF3
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi5lAQnmqa
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1MDCFufHR
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc0RJ6ZKeE
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr15irws9dq

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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCw15CpCg0
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWtDUHrGpw
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBx9Y6CvMq
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaV8sJT7uI
“When are you coming home?” Damien asked while we were on the phone.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQfg7DSAoh
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzrIlJAD45
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaE5SGPcCz
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLCPyTamrJ
“I’ll try and talk to her,” he said.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc49RRwZgy
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9EJHtbaGs
“Please, don’t argue because of me,” I pleaded.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbD8Tyef27
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4eur543ER
“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!”523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q3ry7Iet6
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosXGRfY7ED
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTfniwn9wG
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzNbBPKiCE
“That sounded like a goodbye, Erica,” he said and I could hear his frown.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK9N3QNTSH
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpAxOKXyAo
“It’s not a goodbye you dramatic fool,” I replied.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhgVpST7bq
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQhGhl26uH
“If I’m being dramatic, then what are you?” he mocked.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniB1NcjPRp
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2RSH6N6X9
“Overdramatic?” I tried to make a joke.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ027Ld4lq0q
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWaXKQOIZA
“I’m coming over tomorrow, to see you,” he said; completely changing the subject.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtsnjtb5A4
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAumGx20Xie
“You don’t have to drive all the way up here,” I frowned. Even if I miss your pretty face so much!523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzZ8s05Bzf
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQHUSi3MeG
“If you don’t want me to come, just tell me,” he breathed. He really was being overdramatic.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBjulEyWbY
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69By8aXm7y
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnI5WUYxSJ
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr35EFWCIQ4
“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.”523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GtEbKFBCc
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlijnf9VLt
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmNH3qFe3A
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ggQsKSmLA
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?523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAef0z7G9ZI
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p0tGz2i1k
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?523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZqDogVarC
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6iVnHegr3
I was going insane; overthinking and overanalyzing.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcSjp3t2Ee

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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKpDkXMAPP
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUAbBKaBZ8
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0rdqj6fTQ
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0EoZBciR2
“Missed me?” I grinned after I fastened my seatbelt and turned towards him. I looked at him, trying to take in his form.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTn19HXM1d
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8NvR4tph0
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFEIwmAQIX
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHKBrte6su
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr70mnBiZR
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsZfeVnubH
“Don’t I get a kiss?”523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51LIUH2suB
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDm4L4kEK5
“You didn’t miss me,” I raised my eyebrows pretending not to care. I pulled away and took a step away from him.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9FRGLM4Gy
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjO233c4xb
“Come here,” he smirked and gripped my wrist; pulling me back.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeHVkYwaRf
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fTagPPY3R
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9R93pFgH8
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsgObBfPcS
“I’ll shave if you come back,” he offered; the small dimple visible on his left cheek.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGjVklBcOv
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7tgFLdAQK
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZOch8LAPS

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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYmAXs63JV
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkpRWfivsS
«“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs8An4uYIN
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj3TFoGCyo
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70BnqBjOtG
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2QtKEBhU6
“No it wasn’t,” I shook my head “I’m just…” I winced and looked at the table; the words abandoning me.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrIvjWs5G7
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceEUcX7u5a
“Yeah,” he breathed sounding disappointed.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNhPYeVAdq
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalug0u5cbv
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblxI1XzAbo
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2LAkpdN8g
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO112f1NGj
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7slGgacLxc
“Yeah,” I replied.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3AmJ0rEQn
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlhZNwY6qp
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj9GISmy4X
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlQVz2ZC2r
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdriRwQaX1
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9R1zt9ZSd
“Can’t park here,” he replied. I scoffed and shook my head. I haven’t heard a lamest excuse.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78PuuZDNj6
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKvFcxTt6m
“Whatever,” I mumbled and unfastened my seatbelt.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtoh8nFxHa

“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE4oe5do58
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWWUObDOL5
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1COvsH1hj
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BaqCGHvan
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviV5vf7slk
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8ra7Ovzx1
Once we got inside James apartment, I got out of my coat and asked Damien if he wanted anything to drink.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjOBRLZAIv
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFjQtb8V9Q
“You sleep here I assume?” he smiled as he sat down on the couch.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3glMzN0ziy
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowNZsGZ52q
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeML2OQfYS
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUPYonxewA
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl7Oculmi9
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73XLr0LZSP
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLceU1MOuG4
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYflEULPkh
“Hurry to get dressed?” Damien asked with a smirk on his lips.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwOtH8Keav
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7MGsEFr2n
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ43yRED4B
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKMOijhiIR
“I’ve missed you,” I whispered; my voice hoarse as his lips moved to my neck.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5M0AYGgnb
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTgcrIonxw
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYViQe2LzP
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXcSkcM1ei
“Got any condoms with you?” I mumbled against his lips.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZh9zs2Pv2

“Yeah,” he nodded and kissed my neck.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyvmXYjIjk
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18EWi5pagn
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv2TmZKFBK

523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWoWWS7VnA
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0shoZFZM0X

“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEBcJY32kI

“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKAbJX9zNC

“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX13YWUT2h7

“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtqrWWJ9aO

“Um,” I mumbled and took a breath “When are you leaving?”523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vuKEeQPOJ

“In two weeks,” he sighed and leaned over to the coffee table to put the cigarette stub in the ashtray.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDbt4lr8gJ

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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndDRzwvqdv

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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR2l8GRYRs

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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywFmnxj5Tk

“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo6EXipdf8
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LH3SYEfeJ
“Hi,” I called to Max.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyioKkSj6i
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o9QCBAgb0
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJD4MHfbiD
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM1d9HorE2
“Wait,” I said and took the phone from his hand.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFZv38W31F

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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HzD4UNzce

“Stalker!” I mocked and put the phone next to him.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC6ZgU7aDo

“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLoBpNX1Qz
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJjzReGw6N
“More of what?” I frowned and pulled back.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5w6EES0RG
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqLWXEMjxQ
“More photographs of you,” he raised his eyebrows.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA0yilKQqb

“You better show me,” I narrowed my eyes as he shifted in front of me to put the cigarette in the ashtray.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQGFzUSNeZ
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuYPvmR3Dx
“No,” he shook his head. “You won’t let me keep them,” he explained.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYdBBX4eN3
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmv1aqwSbT
“What the hell? You have nude pictures?” I frowned and grabbed the device again.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJvlRYCi1i
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aXmgsFLTP
“Don’t!” he warned.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd0bKImjoY

“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOhhj7OiXi
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1StGi9hecK
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZuxDoPdgm

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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfLFTiWfdu

“You haven’t asked me one thing,” he whispered, his heartbeat quickening and he released my hands; his face going serious.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyNOiETWQ7
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr4fw3QR5W
“What?” I asked.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrphr4jnZz
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6LsNyyDAy
“Not to go,” he replied. I felt my heart beating like a drum set. I put my hands on either side of his head.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQXvBuIusu

“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRsGVOriEE
523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9IBmaSPP7
“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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdt4zUYxmH
