CHAPTER 16 | LAP DANCE

LORENZO'S POV

I woke up with the thoughts of last night on my mind. I mean, I have always heard guys complain of blue balls but it was a strange topic to me because I have never experienced it until now... Before I moved here, sex was a frequent activity for me, infact I could have sex daily and even for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I wanted to but now, I have been here for over a month and I haven't even kissed and it's driving me crazy and couple with all the experiments, I really can't take it anymore.

"Aaaaargh! Today is going to be a long day." I murmured as I left my room and made my way to the living room. Surprisingly, I met Echo already in the living room, floating around.

"Morning handsome." She greeted brightly with a big smile on her face and I couldn't help but wonder what's on her mind.

"Morning menace, what are you up to this time?" I asked curiously as I watched her every move.

"Nothing much, I was just thinking about last night." She pointed out shyly and I gave her a side eye. I can remember everything that happened last night and it was not fun.

"What part? The sexual frustration or the ghostly sexual experiments?" I asked curiously as I plopped on the couch.

"Well, both and I figured... Maybe I can make it up to you." She pointed out while smiling sheepishly.

I don't know what she's planning and I really don't want to be a part of it. "There is absolutely no need for that, I don't want to be a part of another experiment." I said truthfully.

"You can't say no, I have been practicing." She said as she suddenly snapped her fingers and a slow cheesy R&B music started playing.

"Oh, I see you have been practicing, how did you do that?" I asked curiously.

"That's not important right now, just be quiet." Before I could even react, she straddled my lap, well, she hovered a half-inch above it, just like she did last night and started moving her hips in a slow, exaggerated grind.

I froze, wide-eyed as I watched the drama unfold. "Echo, what the hell are you..."

"Shhh. Just enjoy it, baby." She interrupted as she wiggled her hips again, tossing her hair over her shoulder in what she clearly thought was a seductive move.

The problem here is that, because she is a ghost, half her body kept flickering in and out of visibility. One second she is grinding on me, the next second, she vanished completely, and then bam, she is back, a little off-center, her knee phasing through my fucking thigh and it's really scary.

I appreciate what she's trying to do here, trying to make it up to me by giving me a sexy lap dance but honestly, it's not necessary. "Wow, I can't believe you can do this. Thanks for the effort, but I think you should stop." I suggested while trying not to upset her.

"Why, you don't like it?" She asked curiously and before I could think of what to say, I was saved by the bell. "Are you expecting someone?" She asked curiously but I am not, although I am glad that someone is at the door because the ghostly lap dance automatically came to an end.

"No but let me check, can you turn off the music?" I asked and she snapped her fingers again and the music stopped playing before she stood up from her straddling position and I hurried to the door.

It's not like I don't appreciate her efforts to make it up to me but it's really not necessary, there is a limit to what she can do and I understand, so there is absolutely no need for her to stress herself. "Hey handsome, good morning." Laura said as she walked in as soon as I opened the door.

I can't remember inviting her and she didn't call to say she was coming either, so what's this about? "Ummm, are we supposed to see today and I forgot?" I asked curiously.

"No silly. Well, I decided to come here with Breakfast." She pointed out as she raised the bags she was holding. "To make it up to you for not showing up the other day." She explained but I don't like it, I don't like that she showed up here unannounced.

"I see but you should have called." I pointed out while she looked around like she was expecting to see something. "Are you looking for something?"

"Not really, I was just wondering if you have a guest because I heard loud music and I overheard you talking, so I thought you had company." She noted as we walked back to the living room and I saw Echo frowning either because Laura is here or because her lap dance session was interrupted.

"Oh that, I love playing music while exercising and then I had a call." I lied as I pointed to the couch for her to sit.

"Oh I see."

"Humm, give me a minute, I need to change." I need to wear a shirt but most importantly, I need to talk to Echo, I need to know why she's upset. I signaled to echo to follow me on my way to the room and she did.

"Did you invite her here?" Echo asked as soon as we got to my room.

"No but you know we have plans, so I can't ask her to leave." I pointed out but she still looks upset. "What is it, why are you upset?" I asked curiously as I grabbed a plain white t shirt from the wardrobe.

"You don't like my dance." She whined and I found it really cute and funny but I can't laugh because she's obviously upset.

"Says who, of course I enjoyed it. If I am being honest, your twerking could start a paranormal investigation but it's the thought that counts and you are perfect. I appreciate the fact that you put on a show for me, so I enjoyed every bit of it." I complimented and she finally smiled.

"Really?"

"Yes really, you are great." I said just as my door flew open and Laura stepped in... What the hell is her problem, why the hell is she in my room?

"Who are you talking to?" She asked curiously while looking around, although Echo is standing right in front of me but she can't see her.

"I am on a call." I pointed out. "Let me call you back bro." I said and pretended like I was using my earbuds. "Why are you here?" I asked curiously because I didn't permit her to come into my room.

"The food is getting cold and I really want you to enjoy it while it's still hot." She pointed out and I took a look at Echo, subtly asking for her approval and she nodded.

"Okay, let's go." I left Echo in my room and stepped out with Laura.

We made our way back to the living room and the table is already set. There is chicken and waffles, pancakes, eggs, sausages and bacon. "Wow, this is a lot." I pointed out.

"Well, I just wanted you to have a good breakfast." Well that's nice of her but why, what's the need of all this.

I am the one that needs informations from her and I should be the one actively trying to get closer to her but that's not the case. "Thanks." We sat down and started eating.

I looked around for echo but she's no where in sight, I wonder what she's up to. "So, do you have friends here?" She asked curiously and I think this is my opportunity to actually gather some informations.

"Yeah, I do. Jayden, he was the one that rented this spot for me." I pointed out. "What about you, do you have friends, like a best friend or something? Maybe from your childhood?" I asked and she stared at me. "Jayden and I grew up together, he is my childhood friend, do you have someone like that?"

"Yeah, something like that. I used to have a friend like that, we grew up together but I recently realized that she was not on the same wave length with me, so we are no longer close, besides she suddenly disappeared and I have not heard from her in forever." She pointed out and I am even more curious.

"Wow, what do you mean by wave length?" I asked curiously.

"Umm, just forget about her. She's a boring topic, so let's talk about someone more interesting like you." She said flirtatiously while staring at me and it makes me uncomfortable. "Has anyone ever told you how handsome and attractive you are?" She asked and I looked around for echo but she's not in sight. "Damn, the things I can do to you... You are so hot."

"Ummm, thanks?" I said tentatively.

I don't understand what she's trying to do but I don't want to be a part of it, I need to think of a way to get her out of here as soon as possible.
