CHAPTER 17 | I REALLY MESSED UP

LORENZO'S POV

"You’ve been tense since the second I walked in." She whispered as she got up and stood behind me. "Let me give you a massage." She placed her warm fingers on my shoulders and a shiver ran down my spine.

"Just relax, I am here to take care of you." She whispered in my ears and I just feel like jumping her.

"Fuck." That feels good.

"Well I can make you feel great." She said as she left my back and straddled me and it's nothing like the straddling from Echo... I can feel her butt sitting right on my throbbing dick.

I have never been caught in the middle of right and wrong until now, I know it's fucking wrong for me to do anything with Laura especially because she's friends with Echo and Echo is definitely somewhere in this house but I have been starving for a touch, for heat, for kiss, and for something I know Echo can’t give me... I am desperate to feel something real again.

"Damn." I cursed as she bounced her boobs in my face before wrapping her hands around my neck. God knows that I am trying so hard to ignore her and avoid having sex with her but I have been sexually frustrated for weeks and I am dying to have a release.

"We shouldn't be doing this." I pointed out as I tried to push her off my lap.

"Why not, we are both single and there is nothing wrong with having a bit of fun." She said while grinding her ass on my bulge and I lost all self control.

"Fuck it." I cursed as Laura leaned in and I claimed her lips instantly. As I wrapped my arms around her, out lips met in a passionate kiss. But beneath the surface, a pang of regret stirred.

I couldn't shake the feeling that Echo could show up now and see what I am doing with her so called friend but my desire for body contact and sex is so fucking high and I can't stop myself. It's stupid that I allowed my own desires cloud my judgment but it's too late to stop now.

"Damn." As her touch ignites a familiar spark, all my doubts were momentarily silenced. The taste of her lips, the warmth of her skin, it all felt so right. It's exactly what I needed but the guilt lingered, a nagging voice that refused to be quiet... Yet our clothes vanished in a flash, in a messy urgent movements.

"Oh fuck... ohhh." Her body is so warm, real and tangible enough.

My breath hitched as I finally felt skin, contact, pressure. My hands found her hips, her waist. "Ohhhhh my goodness." She screamed as I plunged into her in one swift movement.

"Oh, yeah. That feels good." I pounded into her in a frantic miindless manner, like an animal in heat. "Damn." My muscles tensed up as I increased my pace.

"Oh my goodness, Lorenzo... Oh yeah, just like that... oh my goodness." I pounded her nonstop as I chased my release. "Oh yeah, I am cumming." She screamed as as her orgasm hit her and she vibrated like she was having a seizure.

"Fuck, fuck... Fuck." I cursed as I finally had my release, the relief I have been so starved of. "Fuck, that was good."

"Wow, that was so amazing. We should totally do this again." She said and all my guilt came rushing back.

Damn, I have messed up... I shouldn't have done this to Echo...but then, I heard a soft gasp and even before I looked around, I knew that I am totally fucked. "Shit." I looked behind me and I instantly froze.

"Oh shit, you have to go." I said as I quickly got up and started wearing my clothes when I saw Echo standing behind me at the corner of the living room.

"What do you mean by that?" Laura asked but I don't give a fuck about her right now, not when Echo is staring at me with so much hurt and pain in her eyes... Not floating, not laughing... Just staring.

"You have to leave now, something just came up. It's an emergency." I pointed out.

"You can't be serious, I can't just leave after the moment we have together. I am sorry but it's not possible." She said categorically.

I need to get her out of here so that I can talk to Echo because she looks so mad and I feel fucking guilty and at this point, I don't even know if having sex with Laura is even worth it.

"We can see some other time, I need to take care of something." I explained but she totally ignored me. I looked towards Echo and her eyes are wide, cracked and blazing.

She walked closer to us and I am worried she might do something. "Arghhh." Echo screamed suddenly and all the bulbs and glass around the living room started breaking.

"Oh my God, what's happening?" Laura asked as she took cover and I did the same. "I need to go." She stated as echo continued screaming and the living room was like an earthquake was taking place.

It is honestly scary and I have never seen her like this before but I decided to keep quiet and stay out of her way till she finally calmed down. "Oh my goodness, what in God's name was that?" Laura got up from her hiding place and dressed up as fast as she could. "I am leaving." She rushed out of the house and I was left with Echo, a very angry Echo.

"Echo!" I called as I moved towards her tentatively. "Echo?" I stared at her as her hands trembled at her sides, her lips parted as if she was trying to speak but no words came.

"Echo, I am..." I paused when she suddenly vanished. Just like that, she disappeared without giving me the opportunity to explain.

I mean, I don't even know what I am going to say in my defense if giving the opportunity but it's better than for her to vanish like this. "Echo, where are you?" I asked as I looked around the house but I was met with silence.

"Echo, please come back. Please..." I pleaded but she's no where to be found and I have never hated the fact that she is a ghost than now because if she was real, if I could touch her, I would have held her in place until she listened to me.

"Fuck, this is messed up." I can't believe that I screwed up so badly because I can't control my sexual urge. "I feel like shit."

I checked the whole building for Echo, for any sign of her but she's definitely not here. I decided to while away time by cleaning up all the mess in the living room. I still don't understand how she was able to scream and destroy all the glass related items in the living room including the plates Laura and I used for breakfast a while ago.

"Echo, are you here?" I called after cleaning up an hour later and I still didn't notice her presence. "She's definitely mad at me." What was I even expecting when we were on a certain level in our relationship and she has been doing her best to ease my sexual frustration even though she's a ghost and I went ahead to misbehave the first chance I got even though I knew she was somewhere in the house and to think I messed up with her friend.

"Fuck, the same friend that I suspect she might have a hand in Echo's situation. How can I be so stupid?" I made my way to my bedroom to have a bath after making sure that the living room is in other. "I just hope that she will come back." Because if I am to look for her, where exactly do I go? She doesn't leave the house, so I have no idea where she might be right now.

I entered the bathroom to possibly wash away my shame and guilt, for the mistake I made today but I know it's not possible. Because even after bathing and stepping out of the bathroom, I still feel like shit, I feel like a betrayal and a horrible person. I just hope that Echo can at least come back and give me the chance to explain myself even though I know that there is nothing I can say that will make sense or justify my actions. "I really messed up."

As soon as I finished dressing up, I went back to the living room and to the mini bar to get a drink to sip while waiting for her.

I grabbed a bottle of vodka, sat on the couch and there is still no sign of her. "Fuck, I need another bottle." I noted when I noticed that the bottle of vodka I carried initially is empty, I didn't even realize when I finished it.

I opened a new bottle... I just hope that she will be here before I finish this bottle again. "This is not good, how do I find her?"
