I jumped up and run towards the door when the doorbell rang. I had to leave as soon as possible. I was suffocating.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUVWWFGEDB
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW75AL83Su6
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLQmn5bDsO
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme5kx83n5D
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRv7aT8bxi
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx0A3eIPvo
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYxRKUmSpZ
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT5AZs7PhQ
“It wasn’t necessary,” he replied.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59SweR06pv
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme6KEtO8uy
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF6PTo5yQa
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97ixxMBIH1
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK5Ow7bQ49
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaz94tyTwO
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoMED2MhQ4
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZOuEHuE6N
“What’s that supposed to mean?” he frowned.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiZiuvQIru
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtkQudTkOp
“Nothing,” I lied “I’ll stay with James for a while,” I mumbled “I need to calm down, obviously.”545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnUmShOosS
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgUnuSpNWU
“Your semester finals are in ten days,” he frowned.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGWxiJ65VY
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO17ACNFkz
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxBKFXSeIr
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC4TgtqaHe
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1jGNkIQiC
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0W4e2to1w
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHZXLXVRGu
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgBS4jjill
“Are you sure, your bug will take you up there?” he smiled. I narrowed my eyes took a step back.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzloPWO498H
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdrews5VJ7
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDm1uHr1Ym
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipAaiRjlMK
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEOKto8ABr
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeW2Buheaw
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQuzap1n3l

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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFRu7m96Rk
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1o6eYnaRe
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNcC4irMMo
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnltmc1R9UJ
“When are you coming home?” Damien asked while we were on the phone.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQz9JLEcGq
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4Dx2rwybI
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbKyEwHBoF
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAVFsICB53
“I’ll try and talk to her,” he said.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqpPYN2jAP

“Please, don’t argue because of me,” I pleaded.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhBZsXT09m
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbRHkkiEqv
“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!”545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBW5pYt6Vw
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TPyX67B2W
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yjUb42G1u
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5SwynuEah
“That sounded like a goodbye, Erica,” he said and I could hear his frown.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer5MXfbrGk
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefuhEdRPbY
“It’s not a goodbye you dramatic fool,” I replied.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC8NA8D4YS
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9be16aWylQ
“If I’m being dramatic, then what are you?” he mocked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnubcCenvl
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnm3oyP0mg
“Overdramatic?” I tried to make a joke.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpGnrDOvet
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvubSznlMlu
“I’m coming over tomorrow, to see you,” he said; completely changing the subject.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI0ineKe1K

“You don’t have to drive all the way up here,” I frowned. Even if I miss your pretty face so much!545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJphBOX2bP
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOPHyzjF49
“If you don’t want me to come, just tell me,” he breathed. He really was being overdramatic.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxqL86In5x
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HmF8tFK58
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED8B8oY1Es
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4drublQvg
“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.”545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTlXMHWqen
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmsFXBiU50
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvujwbVKQvB
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoZLnsxDva
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?545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHWWQmSKcQ
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTSgYwaCqv
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?545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW3BQIgwu5
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtuKV3SZRP

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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gLhIStNJ1
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHFyXJdIW0
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o3N1t99WB
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrW2dZxJ88
“Missed me?” I grinned after I fastened my seatbelt and turned towards him. I looked at him, trying to take in his form.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaSGq9lE6m
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZPzuyEXK0
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwhBNBQFWp
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBh787z33w
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR2DQ8O3ra
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwJ4Cd7VQ1
“Don’t I get a kiss?”545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcNFKiDPSn
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHmdEl0WJu
“You didn’t miss me,” I raised my eyebrows pretending not to care. I pulled away and took a step away from him.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCTeIdPHTp
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaMcdDPUYT
“Come here,” he smirked and gripped my wrist; pulling me back.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcifVQxnzj
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUAu9nbq2K
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnoZRNPIp1
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiYZ59nyFi
“I’ll shave if you come back,” he offered; the small dimple visible on his left cheek.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfNHG3M7Nc
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4Z7IHL9Uz
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CkU4RJDil

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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd7yvVlegZ
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6YEwp8tx4
«“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EMeqbgwSs
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8CQNp17zo
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f0YqnNxf3
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GT1CnzZFB
“No it wasn’t,” I shook my head “I’m just…” I winced and looked at the table; the words abandoning me.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqwSpAnfCo
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4OmoqjrF7
“Yeah,” he breathed sounding disappointed.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GUFMNNFRR
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Aj71W1ZGs
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Jp4iej1z
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXZLvg5Pyd
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7eqdmNTri
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh7f5nEIU8
“Yeah,” I replied.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhIVlUJAQ8
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcQLZYTZCU
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn9Y2SBzB9
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAgn0Pd4n4
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02lMPJ4UCX
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeNc9cpqey
“Can’t park here,” he replied. I scoffed and shook my head. I haven’t heard a lamest excuse.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNP9THDp8L

“Whatever,” I mumbled and unfastened my seatbelt.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzyMtVzNGX

“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUlakD2UC7
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh6QOO6A1r
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97mrK4HM8v
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvTWOxHnX8
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3N75QFTYM
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG2UCmbUb0
Once we got inside James apartment, I got out of my coat and asked Damien if he wanted anything to drink.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlSMq1oQzC
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IJer458hI
“You sleep here I assume?” he smiled as he sat down on the couch.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n7tEAb8Ej
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AIzQHhIIk
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMOFed2PYM
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8QiKioiTD
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO6rQ59fmi
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrojvCWiFD
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnIsrZEchz
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxXqGPpcTh
“Hurry to get dressed?” Damien asked with a smirk on his lips.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwh1nKVMXz
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmTBuPfwRl
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ome25BDFV
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1oLhziGdf
“I’ve missed you,” I whispered; my voice hoarse as his lips moved to my neck.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y7fTIGqgl
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqaAvo13Gt
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL1EYxKGq4
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JSVMNDzWc
“Got any condoms with you?” I mumbled against his lips.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWfNONXAWM

“Yeah,” he nodded and kissed my neck.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YllFQYeY0
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnd8qMvPhy
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSpsSe9WPD

545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc5vLhITL2
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNVpROPNjn

“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1sbjamWAd

“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPS67Wcl8W

“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOQrijK8VV

“Um,” I mumbled and took a breath “When are you leaving?”545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiC7ZGD7IP

“In two weeks,” he sighed and leaned over to the coffee table to put the cigarette stub in the ashtray.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCpqnk2VFQ

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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAIRO0uCQR

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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly0ELdCSqK

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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PQcKtWT7b

“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi7SNpVdWJ
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst7ioeZGLL
“Hi,” I called to Max.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvONAKygzJY
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtYWvZGdqt
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mp7OlTCjA
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f5rr8OLtC
“Wait,” I said and took the phone from his hand.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2HxOMtbH1

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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx86hPezFB

“Stalker!” I mocked and put the phone next to him.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWfaVShR8Q

“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvARRX8Udmo
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE32y2BSbic
“More of what?” I frowned and pulled back.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5Mm1AUV9W
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoyF0FnTYX
“More photographs of you,” he raised his eyebrows.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7rajlkUEN

“You better show me,” I narrowed my eyes as he shifted in front of me to put the cigarette in the ashtray.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnToqFOh54
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtOIunVcn9
“No,” he shook his head. “You won’t let me keep them,” he explained.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2yWrOonK8
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqDE03SoKg
“What the hell? You have nude pictures?” I frowned and grabbed the device again.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdl1gHeMnZ
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi16JgoZZ9X
“Don’t!” he warned.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAt5Vw86Ed

“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB1jpWicoW
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nMLz8V6TF
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyifBUCkHQA

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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8P9FtTkUe

“You haven’t asked me one thing,” he whispered, his heartbeat quickening and he released my hands; his face going serious.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNYFYCcsAA
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodUB6cVtGU
“What?” I asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO763NEoZl
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IO3leZzeg
“Not to go,” he replied. I felt my heart beating like a drum set. I put my hands on either side of his head.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoRaIxcqMu

“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFIWxTObrJ
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7stO2XYUY
“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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Cuhvqlfp8
