JamesLaila hummed while thinking about the translation.- So basically it is about that the sun comes in the yard where the house is being built with needles and.. Oh, shoo! I don't know this word.She fastly typed something on her phone. She looked at me after a moment.- Scythe?She asked. I looked at her with a blank expression.- Is that the correct pronunciation?She asked more.- Yes.I confirmed with a nod.- So, yes the house and roof were built with the help of needles and a scythe. But I think this has a symbolic meaning, but unfortunately, I don't know what exactly that could be.I nodded and hummed in response. Interesting... Her phone started to ring. Was someone calling her?- Ah, so the time is up.She said. Ok, just her timer went off.- Great. Let's eat!She stood up and went to the oven to pull out the food. I chose to remain in my place. It's not like I could help her with advice or something.- Okay, here everything looks soft enough.She said out loud after exami
JamesI didn't understand a single thing while she talked in her mother tongue. It frustrated me to no end. There was something buzzing in me and I wanted her attention. So I started to whistle and move my butt in the rhythm of the tune. My ass is great, maybe that will get her attention. I hope it did work. I tried to quickly wash the dishes so I got a chance to talk to her sister. Maybe getting closer to her family and friends would help me to win her over. It was a fat chance but still worth trying. When that didn't work though and her sister brushed me off in two sentences, I got upset. On the other hand having Laila's face next to mine so close made me want to lean to her shoulder, breathe in deeply her lovely smell, put feather-like kisses on her shoulder and see how goosebumps appeared on it and then sink my teeth in it deeply to claim her as mine. But instead, I just rubbed my cheek against her soft one and enjoyed the tingles that spread over it from the mate bond. She was an
JamesDid she not believe I would visit her country?- I will definitely visit your country soon. Hopefully together with you.I replied with confidence. She frowned briefly.- Okay.She replied with a slight disbelief. She looked at me with that blank expression that I couldn't read. What the h*ll was it? What was going on in her head and heart? While I tried to guess moments passed until Laila yawned.- Okay, so it's getting late.She said and rubbed her face with her palms. Suddenly she looked tired.- Yes, it's time to get naked and sleep like a log.I supplied to cheer her up.- What?She asked with a frown.- What?I asked back feigning ignorance.- No!She protested.- No what?Now I pretended to be confused.- I told you already, you can't sleep naked here!She protested in a raised voice. Aha, so something like that can get a reaction out of her. I smiled brightly.- Okay, as I said: just for you, I will be sleeping in my spanx.I said and wiggled my eyebrows suggestively.-
LailaBut that is the least I need right now. Some stupid, hasty and emotional decisions. My thoughts though took a u-turn and returned to spinning and turning around him and what I wanted from him. I looked at the clock. It's been already an hour since I'm twisting and turning without sleep in my eyes and mind. As I lay on my back and saw how my thoughts kept on spinning in circles, I noticed I felt thirsty. Maybe I could go and drink a glass of water. That meant to sneak by him. I thought about how it would look. I got conscious of my clothing. I never wore pajamas. It felt weird to be covered with trousers and long sleeves. So, usually, my "pajama" consisted of a loose T-shirt that would barely cover my ass.Would he wake up if the floorboard would squeak while I passed by him? If yes, would he do something as he was seeing me barely dressed? Like rasping out: "What are you doing?". I would squeak out: "Sorry, I felt thirsty. I'm going to drink some water.".I would paddle over the
Laila The bell dings as I push the brown door open. The warm heat from inside with a loud noise of chattering hits me in the face like a wave as I step inside the place. There is a nice background song as well. I like the music the song has. If there is one judgmental thing I do, it is to judge any place by its music. If I don't like the music set in the background, I'm not going to enjoy the place either. And that's how important good music is to me. I softly smile as I pass my look over the place and the people inside. I have a good feeling about this. I find an empty spot at the closest table and plop down with a soft "hello" to the people sitting around it. Everyone picks up their heads and I get different responses: smiles, hello, hey and hi. I'm a bit late, so I can see that everyone has started to work already. I found this interesting place called "Upstairs Circus" that has social events once a week about different themes and different workshops. It's a DIY workshop meets b
Laila My stomach made a somersault when James waltzed inside the bar with that amazing smile he perfectly knows how to wear. I felt way too big a mix of emotions at the same second - shocked, happy, longing, as if I missed him, excited, disappointed and regretful on top of it. Such a roller coaster of emotions made me nauseous. I didn't have time to dwell on them and unravel them one by one to be truthful about where my feelings stood. For a moment, he picked up his head and glanced around the room. Something shifted in his body. He seemed... I cocked my head. Uncomfortable? He looked back at me but there was nervousness in his demeanor. I looked around the bar. And now I saw that almost all the women here were looking at James. As such a fine specimen and one of the rare guys in the room, he attracted a lot of attention. And of course, most of the females licked him with their eyes. I looked back at him. Well, Mr., if you came here without me inviting you, then you get some punishm
Laila James stares into my eyes so deeply that I feel like he wants to hypnotize me. This could be true as I assume he wants to hear a 'yes' from me. - You are right. You are totally rushing things. I agree with the first statement. The left corner of his mouth picks up in a crooked smile as he picks up his right hand and rubs the back of his neck. - I just tried my luck. Had to. He shrugs. In my mind, I question whether he truly wants a girlfriend. And me as that role? Is it because he hasn't had one for years? Could I be a trophy girlfriend? No. I'm not famous, I'm not as pretty as supermodels and I'm not super-rich. Yeah, no. A trophy girlfriend just because he got me after all the hunting? Hmm, that sounds hard to believe. - Time will show where this is going. I state seriously. Though I just thought about it as well, I'm not saying it out loud. If honestly, I have imagined him as my boyfriend a few times, including what it would feel like to be his girlfriend. I haven't adm
LailaSmall tree barks crack under my boot as I step through the forest bed. Brisk air slightly bites my cheeks and throat as I'm breathing through my mouth. We had been walking through the woods up the hill for more than an hour. As it is quite steep, I started to breathe heavily. I'm totally out of shape. I haven’t had such a hike in the last five years.The weather is quite cold and the forest humidity adds to it as the cold goes through my clothes to my bones. On the other hand, James is dressed only in a light hoody. I have a waterproof skiing jacket but the fast pace to catch up with James' long strides is the only thing that keeps me warm.We have walked deep inside as the canopy above our heads has become thicker and the forest feels darker. I look around to enjoy nature. I love to walk in nature, in forests. That's what me and my sister did all our childhood as our house was in the middle of a forest. To be more precise, in the middle of the National Park. That house was a he
