*Alejandro*Seeing Anna with another man fueled something within me. She had a slight smile on her lips, and she seemed to be having a good time with the man, who couldn't stop looking at her from time to time as they made their way to the entrance. My legs moved forward, but a hand held me back, “why the rush? Let's walk slowly.” Clara said. I had almost forgotten that she was with me. She linked our hands together. She waved at those who waved at her, her smile, which had turned annoying, not leaving her lips. If I had known earlier that Jane would be in this show, I'd have a ticket, and Anna would have been beside me, not Clara. I didn't bother to wave at those who waved at me anymore. I feel like my day has been ruined already. “What happened to you?” Clara asked.“What?” I asked back, though I knew something had changed. My eyes don't leave Anna, who now has her hands linked to the man. “You are suddenly quiet. Did something offend you?” She asked.“No, everything is fine, “ I
*Alejandro*I held her by the hand and took her secretly through the crowd, outside to my car, parked not too far away from the event center. I drove us off to the nearest hotel and lodged us in; I kept giving her side glances and noticed she was flushed, and her ears had turned an even darker shade of red. We finally got into the room. I shut the door to the room and locked it. Walking back to where she stood, patiently awaiting me by the bed. I could see the lust in her eyes.She couldn't take it anymore and turned to me, pressing her lips tightly against mine. Savoring all of her mouth, I took her by the waist, pulling her in even closer until there was no space between us. I grabbed the back of her head tighter as I pressed her body against mine, feeling her skin through the cloth. I let my hand trailed upwards, feeling her skin. I deepened the kiss, and she responded by kissing even more fiercely, finally picking up my pace and going along with it. Taking in her lower lip, I ni
*Andrea*I didn't want the night to end. I wanted to be wrapped around Alejandro's arms all night. “I'll get a cab; you don't need to drive me home,” I said to Alejandro when he offered to drive me home. “I insist, Anna.” He said. I wanted to refuse but couldn't anymore. “Or you don't want me to come?” He asked. “No.” I said immediately, “That’s not what I meant by that. I didn't want you to go through any stress.” He said. “Let me be the judge of that.” He said. I nod. “Alright. I'll cancel the ride I booked already.” I said. “Good girl,” Alejandro said. We began walking out. “How about we have dinner before we go?” He asked. I wanted to, but I couldn't. Alison would be home by now, but I didn't tell her I was going out. “I'm not hungry. And I just ate,” I said and regretted immediately. Alejandro understood what I meant, and a sly smile appeared on his lips, “I didn't know I was enough to satisfy you,” he said. I tried to hide my smile. “You know that's not what I meant,” I said
*Alejandro*It was a long day. But it was fulfilling. When I was still in Anna's home, it didn't occur to me for a moment that I hadn't fulfilled what I had planned to do at the party because I hadn't seen Jane. I could see her some other time. I said to myself as I drove to my house. I stopped in front of another car. I raised my head to see a red light. Taking out my phone, I scrolled through it. I had placed my phone on the do not disturb button adequately before the event began.My phone was filled with messages from Clara. She had called twenty times, and there were over thirty unread messages. I furrowed my brows and moved to open it, but I was stopped midway by a car behind me who blared his horn loudly. I looked up to see the car in front of me had already moved forward. The light was green. Horns kept blaring until I moved my car.By the time I got home, it was late. My phone rang immediately, and I stepped out of the car. It was Clara. I picked it. “Where did you go? You
*Andrea*What did I just witness?” Alison said when the door closed. I had no answer for her. “Come on, Andrea. Tell me, what happened to the boss who would not speak to you at work? Why did he suddenly kiss you? And why the hell did you come with him? I left you with a tall blonde guy the last time I checked. What happened to him?” Alison asked all at once without stopping to catch her breath.I sat. “I'll answer you, give me time,” I said. She sat close to me. “So…” I didn't know where to begin. I could still feel Alejandro's lips on mine. He kissed me in front of Alison, and earlier today, he warned me not to call him boss. He wants me to call him by his name. Does this mean he wants to be with me?“Stop daydreaming and answer me already,” Alison said, nudging me by my arms. “It's not what you think,” I said. “Was he at the show?” She asked, and I nodded. “So you dished the other guy for him?” She asked.I wiggled my finger in front of her, “You sly.” She leaned back. “In fact, I
*Andrea*I froze and turned around. “Alejandro…?” I whispered, not wanting to ruin the moment.“I want to kiss you right now, Anna. You look so beautiful,” he replied, pulling me closer to him. His eyes roamed all over my features, and I did the same, although I wanted to hide my face in his chest and blush.“Even with the bags under my eyes?” Usually, I would not let my insecurities get to me, but right now, I need reassurance.“They don't diminish your beauty, Anna.” Without waiting for a reply, he softly pressed his lips on mine. I sighed as I let myself relax into the kiss.His lips still tasted like the champagne we drank on the plane, and together with his woody, manly scent, he smelt so intoxicating. I grabbed the front of his shirt as I urged him on, really wanting the taste of him on my tongue.I didn't wait for long. As if he knew what I was craving, he gently bit my lower lip and slipped his tongue inside my mouth.His flavor exploded in my mouth as his scent filled all my
*Alejandro*Settling into bed beside Anna was bliss, but she turned her back to me as soon as we got into bed, and I decided to let her be, turning to face the other side too. After several minutes of tossing around without being able to sleep, I turned to the other side and saw her staring at me. I must have been deep in my thoughts because I didn't notice any movement. “Can't sleep either, huh?” I asked her. She looked at me with weary eyes and nodded. “I don't even know what's wrong. I'm exhausted, but I can't seem to be able to sleep,” she yawned and scooted closer to me.I gently caressed her cheek, “Sorry, love. Anything I can do to help?”“I don't think so. I just want to talk, you know? Maybe I'll just talk myself to sleep, that's if I don't bore you first.”I chuckled. “You couldn't bore me even if you tried. I love listening to you, so talk.”She blushed for a few seconds before clearing her throat. “I don't even know what to talk about.”I took her fingers in mine, massa
*Andrea*A man in black trousers and a white bottoms-down shirt stepped in, “room service,” he said. I pulled away quickly from Alejandro and turned my back on him, a wave of embarrassment settling over me. The man who does the cleaning seemed to have noticed he didn't knock. “You could have knocked,” Alejandro said, disappointment etched in his voice. “I'm deeply sorry,” he said. I quickly turned to spy on him and saw his head bowed with hair covering his face. Alejandro told him it was fine, and he left the room. We should have locked the door. I couldn't bring myself to blame the room attendant entirely. Alejandro and I didn't go back to kissing and mooching. It was already time for the scheduled meeting. “You should try calling him again,” I told Alejandro, who was fiddling with his phone. “You think he would want to talk to me?” He asked. I swallowed a lump in my throat. I honestly didn't know. Lucas was the last person I wanted to talk about, but seeing Alejandro drown in se
