Chapter 10
Pancakes? I smell pancakes! The sweet mouthwatering smell of freshly baked pancakes fills my nostrils and makes me wake up. I look around myself and reach with my hand for Abigail, but she's nowhere to be found, so I slip out of the bed and follow the enchanting smell of my childhood.
There she is. Completely lost in the moment. Wearing nothing but an oversized T-shirt and lace bikinis, slaying her hips in perfect sync with the quiet singing of Elvis Presley coming from the speakers on the ceiling. She sings with him and bakes pancakes.
"What a way to wake up," I purr after several minutes of watching her do her thing. Unaware of my presence, enjoying her own little world.
"Jesus Christ, James!" Abigail jumps back scared and drops the frying pan in the sink.
"As much as I like Elvis, your voice sounds better."
"You scared me to death!" Abigail keeps protesting that I interrupted

"James?! James, where the fuck are we going?!"Abigail keeps protesting against me blindfolding her. She agreed to go on a date with me and thanks God she did because I had everything planned already. I picked a restaurant outside Miami, it's a two-hour car drive and the fact she can't see where we're going drives her insane.And me... Oh, God. She, in that short black dress and with a silk blindfold drive me insane. I fight the need to order to turn the car around, go back to the apartment and fuck her until I lose myself inside her. But this is not about me tonight. I will save the blindfold for later, though.We finally arrive at our final destination and feeling that the car has stopped, Abigail impatiently reaches to take the blindfold off, but I catch her hand to stop her."Not yet, Miss Kingsley.""Ugh! Screw you, James!"I chuckle at her cursing, get

"I don't fucking care! Find a way!" I shout on the phone. "I gave you access to her phone but I swear, if you watch the video, you're dead!""Relax, dude," the man on the other side of the phone apathetically responds."James? Jaaaames!" I hear Abigail shouting and I hang up the phone. "James?""Ah, you found me," I chuckle."Mind if I sit?" She asks as she stands before me and I pull her in my lap, although there's plenty of space on the leather couch."How are you?" I ask as I place a brief kiss on the back of this chestnut mess of hair."I- I don't know," she sighs and I feel her body stiffening. "What happened? And where are we? And did you undress me?!" She showers me with questions."Well, we're back in your hotel and yes, I did. I didn't enjoy it as much as I did before, but I figured out that tiny dress won't be the mo

I sneak out of the bed before there is even any sign of the sun. It must be around 4 AM, but I don't even dare to check, I don't want to wake up the sleeping princess next to me. I try to find my clothes in the dark, then go to the kitchen for a quick coffee. God, why do I have to leave? Oh yes, because I'm so behind work, I might actually go bankrupt in the end. I don't know what I'll do when September comes and the actual work starts. Maybe Abigail will come to see me then? Let's hope for the best…It's ridiculous where my thoughts go. I don't even know if she wants to be with me. But then, if she didn't, why would she let me stay here with her? But then again, she rejected me when I asked her to commit to me. I seriously don't know. I'm confused. All I know is that this woman makes my heart beat twice faster. I guess I should just follow her pace and see where this will take us to.And now it's time to go. Oh, how I wish I was able

Pure rage fills my veins while I'm looking at her emotionless face. My vision is blurred by the tears stinging in my eyes and the lump in my throat is stuck so deep, the lack of oxygen is making me dizzy. "It's over! I'm tired of this!" I shout at her in anger and my heart sinks into my feet. 'It's over.' "Why?! Because I want to pursue a career?! Honestly, James, this is such a coward's move." I'm this close to losing my shit and doing something I might regret, so instead, I turn my back at her and lean on the wall before I can collapse. "Leyla, I'm tired of this. I'm tired of explaining why. I'm tired of you." A tear rolls down my face. Fuck it! "James, don't be so childish. I thought we went past this." I feel her from behind me, placing her hand on my shoulder as if she believes she can calm me down. "Don't touch me! Just don't! Yo

"Good morning, cutie." "Ah! Why are you shouting?!" I try to get up from the bed but I feel like I'm paralyzed. The ceiling is spinning, my mouth is so dry and my head hurts so bad I want to cut it off. "Where are you going, James?" A warm hand slides through the hair of my chest, lightly digging the bright red painted nails in my skin, pinning me back to the mattress while loose tangled curls fall on my face. "Where the fuck I am?!" I realise I'm not in the bedroom I'm supposed to be and on top of that I'm naked! "Oh, you're in my room." I manage to face the girl behind me and I back out! For a moment I see Leyla, then I remember what happened last night. "Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck! What time is it?!" I immediately jump out of the bed and start collecting my clothes, scattered across the whole room. "Damn! Are you going

"James, I'm so happy that you actually came!" The woman sitting in front of us speaks and I feel physical pain in my ears by just listening to her voice. "Only because of Abigail. You can thank her," I put my hand over Abigail's, gently brushing the knuckles of her small hand. I talked to her before coming and she agreed to play a girlfriend of mine or whatsoever. I explained to her the taste my father has for women and I think the thought of him hitting on Abigail is what made her agree to play my lover. Plus, I have suspicions that Milena wants something from me. And who is Milena? It's the twenty-eight second wife of my father. Awfully annoying, over the top egocentric and a huge gold digger. She's quite good looking, there's no doubt. And she knows it. She used her looks and my father's vulnerability to entangle him and marry him. And how old is he? Fifty-four. Yes, she's just a year younger than me. And is sup

It's 2 AM. And I'm alone and drunk in my bed. Hell, I said I won't drink because of Leyla, but fuck it, I want to drown myself. I squeeze the only photo I have left of me and her. And cry. I cry over the time I lost with her. And the happiness. She was my light. My escape from all the darkness of my past. We were so happy. Or at least I was. And I'm pretty sure in the beginning she was too. She's the daughter of a business partner of my father. We grew up together and I've never seen her in any other way. She was my best friend. Until she came back from the exchange students program in her senior year in college. Of course, we kept our connection. We were talking on the phone. Nonstop. And when she came back, she completely swept me off my feet. Vienna has made miracles with Leyla. She has always been beautiful, but now... She was unrecognisable. And she admitted she always has been crushing on me, so... it just happened.

"Oh my God, James! This is ridiculous!" Abigail bursts into uncontrollable laughter after I tell her one of my embarrassing childhood memories. Something about eating chicken food to show one of the chickens how to eat. Yeah, that's me. In my full glory. I have a handful of embarrassing memories and if telling them means I'll see more of Abigail and less of Miss Kingsley, I will gladly tell them all. I'm just sitting here, having lunch with Abigail and watching her having, what I believe is, a good time with me. It passes maybe a minute or two in which she's just laughing at my younger self stupidity before she can catch a breath and be able to talk again. "God, James..." she continues laughing but oh damn... The way she says "God, James"... It makes my thoughts travel in a whole different direction. Add the images of her bouncing butt as she's walking and you get the receipt for an unc
