Alodia could see those orbs clearly even with the colored dim lights in the park. She could tell what was on his mind at that very moment. She was not that innocent anyway. Instead of shying away or being uncomfortable, she found it amusing and exciting, even though she could feel her body blush.
Just because it is Harman and not just some other guy. And whether you admit it or not, you really like him, Alodia, her mind commented.
Her laugh was tinkling like a bell. “I just said whatsoever one wishes to do, right? Or are you just going to let me elaborate on that part?”
“Yes, please do elaborate on that part,” he urged her with a soft laugh, too.
It made her skin grow goosebumps, hearing him laugh like that. It just sounded so, so sexy. It seemed to caress her down her lady parts it was crazy.
Their arms rubbed each other accidentally as they continued to stroll around the park. She could feel the friction that trav
“I… was really devastated when my sister died. And I still am. She was all I’ve got. She was even the reason why I’m working abroad… working so hard… And now, I’m all alone… even though I still have an aunt and a cousin who care so much about me. It’s just… different now… you know?” And Alodia’s voice faded away as she looked away from him.“I understand.”She heard him say it with a gentle voice. She looked at him once more. “I wish you really do,” she said with a hidden meaning. She then sighed and drank all the cloudy white liquid that was left in her glass.“What I don’t understand is that you’re still here… when the fact is that your sister’s already gone,” he mused. “Should I thank her in spite of everything that this has put you through?” His dark brown eyes were searching hers.Although she co
Harman would always call Alodia during lunch time. He’d say it was his break time. Therefore, he had a reason to call her. And because she and Giani always eat their lunch early and the child always had her afternoon nap, she had all the time to herself.Giani was tired of playing and watching TV, so she took an earlier afternoon nap that day. Hence, Alodia spent her time cleaning the house, wiping the electronics and windows, and there he was, calling her up again. This time, he called on her cell phone.“So, what’s new with your company?” She wanted to keep their conversation as neutral as possible. It was one of her tactics so that she would know him better and thus would make him court her all the more. After all, men liked to talk about themselves and their passion. They usually wanted to brag about their achievements and whatnot. And she knew how to show her interest so he’d admire her as well on that side of her for being curious of
They had sometimes “informal dates” on some weekends—yes, that was what she called them. It was because they would just meet up at some place like a fast food, coffee shop or just strolled somewhere in downtown area. Sometimes they would just stay in one place like an open restobar or refreshment bar just to watch the doves given something to eat by kids, adults and even elderly people. Sometimes, they would just ride the buses that were routed around downtown and some suburbs in the city or Harman would take her to some tourist spots in Bucharest where she hadn’t visited yet. Because of these, she learned some more about Romania and most especially about the Gypsy man.Each passing day, her feelings for him grew. She was getting more and more attracted to him without doubt and without any relevant and apparent reason if she’d really want to discern it. If she let herself really fall for him, was she safe from getting hurt like her sister? This,
Harman’s Gypsy driver, Pali, was awed when he opened the door for them a little later when they got out of the gate of Alodia’s employers’ residence. Pali had been serving Harman for quite a long time now, he had said.“Would you believe he was a pickpocket before he met me?” Harman informed Alodia in a whisper.“Serios?” She almost couldn’t believe it that her eyes rounded. “Good that he has changed!” she exclaimed softly.“Well, old habits die hard. He once pickpocketed one of my employees. When she learned about it, she wanted him in prison. But I took pity of him. It would be an additional case to his police records. So, I talked to the victim before she could go to the police, gave her some money and then I talked to Pali to not do it again. If he wanted to have a good life ahead of him, then he had to stop what he was doing. And, to top it off, I also told him not to offend any of m
Harman stared at Alodia and smiled with amusement reflected in his eyes. He turned to the woman with a meaningful smile, too. Alodia had to deal with this later if he was going to “reprimand” her for it. For now, she just wanted to get rid of this beautiful black-haired woman from her path.“Alodia, this is Laili, a childhood friend,” he introduced the older woman to her.But neither of them wanted to shake hands. Besides, they didn’t even smile at each other. She already took the hint that this other woman wouldn’t back down, like her. And instead, Laili took Harman’s arm. Nevertheless, she didn’t want to lose this “battle” either. She also took Harman’s other arm and the three of them went to a reserved table. Harman didn’t seem to have any choice of the matter at the moment.The round table was in the middle of the vast room and the rest were scattered around. A buffet table was in one si
“Okay.” Alodia nodded at Harman slowly. She stood up and he took her hand with his. She didn’t expect that but she smiled inwardly. She followed him outside the hotel, where he led her.“H-how about your VIPs?” she inquired as he took his limo keys from his jacket’s inside pocket. She thought concluded Pali could have used another car to send Laili home. After all, Harman was rich and must have a few cars in his possession.It was the only limousine that was parked at the side of the hotel and not at the crowded parking space.“I have already said my excuse to them. They’re just going to enjoy the party before they’ll return to their respective suites in the hotel,” he replied as they went inside the limousine.They faced each other now and they both seemed to get conscious with each other for a few moments. They were quiet for seconds, just staring at each other.“So, what is it tha
Harman continued to caress Alodia’s thigh and hip as he whispered her name over and over again. Oh, how she loved to hear him moan and whisper her name in a unique way she’d never known or heard before. And she was almost not aware she was doing the same thing, in a breathless manner.His kisses trailed down to her chin, jaw, neck and down toward the valley of her breasts. Her body shook with so much anticipation and desire that wanted to give in to him right at this very moment. Her fingers were buried in his silky dark hair and she kissed his earlobe, nibbled it gently. She heard him moan again with pleasure, encouraging her to do more.Harman kissed her on the lips once again and his tongue traced the lines of her lips, tasting her again and again.“Oh, you’re so sweet, Alodia,” he whispered between kisses. Then he gently sucked her lower lip that seemed to drive her crazy.Alodia’s body moved naturally that made him
Alodia slept in Harman’s condominium unit and they made love all through the night. He was happy she confirmed that she was already his girlfriend from that moment on.She didn’t know why she was happier with his reaction than what she felt for him. Yes, he was already her boyfriend. If she wasn’t going to count the past men in her life that she only played a game with, Harman was her very first man, the one that she could call her real boyfriend. And he was hers.But what’s so different about Harman? Am I not just playing a game with him? Her mind was asking when she was already back to her employer’s house. Her logical mind seemed to be back after being fogged when she was with him.It was almost noon because Harman forced her to have breakfast with him and she called her employers to let them know she was okay and to apologize to them. They were such understanding people that her heart would seem to burst when Iustina sa
