ETHAN CARTER
After my display of jealousy and after I had shown Aliya that in no way would I allow any man to kiss her, let alone touch her, I went back to my side of the seat glancing out the window.
I stole a glance at a nervous Aliya who looked like she would die of thirst. It amused me that touching her did all that to her. That she was affected everytime I came closer to her because truth be told I felt the same way.
My head felt in a daze, my hands itched to touch her skin and as for the rest of my body, it wanted nothing more but to have her underneath me while we practiced all the positions in the kama sutra.
The thought of her not seeing a naked man other than me in her life charged at my mind. If I was ever going to make love to her, it had to be special. Something that she would love and enjoy.
Make love. I never used that term before. It was more of fucking or having sex. I mean I tried doing good with Crystal but it was just that sex.
I saw Aliya clutch her legs together and I instinctively knew what was going on under there. Had I been a complete pervert, I would have kissed her lifeless right there in the car and made wonderful love while Jai drove us home.
But as I said, I wanted to do right by her. Perhaps am not really sure I was fit for any physical exercises since my ribs hurt like no one's business.
Aliya never spoke anything and I didn't try to speak either because I knew she was in a mood and that if I somehow provoked her further, she would want to leave… again.
I recall when she said she quit. It was like suddenly my ears couldn't work. She would never quit, if I had to threaten her to stay then so be it but I would never let her quite.
While I thought about all this, I knew U was being selfish but I would rather be selfish than lose her. Mila wasn't going to be happy when she saw me with Aliya but who cared?
I wanted Aliya and that was all that mattered. I wanted Aliya all to myself and denying it wasn't going to change anything or prevent me from feeling this way.
But what exactly was it that I was feeling? All I knew was that I couldn't stay away from her, my heart beat rapidly everytime we locked eyes, and her eyes ooh her eyes nearly drove me to the edge not forgetting her warm luscious lips that I easily got drawn to.
Everytime I kissed her it was like exploring the world again for the very first time. Like going to heaven and opening your eyes only to realize you were still on earth.
We arrived at the mansion thirty five minutes to nine and I almost forgot that I had shut the blind on Jai. Though it was of no use because I suspected he might have heard everything.
Fir the first time in forever, I wasn't worried. So what if Jai heard me being jealous of another man getting cosy with Aliya?
He would only tease me for a couple of days or maybe weeks before he dropped the subject and we moved on to a new one.
Aliya opened the car door even before Jai could get out of the car. I watched as she stomped to the main door in a hurry and I nodded my head to the side.
Redheads you had to love them, especially when they were in a temper.
Jai opened the car door for him, grabbing my shoulder and helping get out if the car.
The truth of the matter was that I was starting to get some feeling on my cheek and I definitely could walk.
The moment we got out of the car, the cool breeze of a starting wintery night slapped my bruises as I winced in pain.
I leaned against the car and so did Jai as we both gazed into the eerie darkness, listening to crickets chirping. I knew he had questions and so I decided to remain mumm and quiet giving him the chance to ask what it was that was running in his head.
'Aliya huh?"
I knew what he meant and I nodded in agreement.
'I warned you, didn't I? I told you she was dangerous. What now?" He asked and I stayed mute.
Even I didn't have the answer to that question. What next? I certainly wasn't going to let go of Aliya and I was certainly not going to break up with Crystal.
'Ooh don't tell me you haven't thought about it. Ethan, you are hanging by a thin thread right now and falling for Aliya is treading on hot coals. You are planning to propose to Crystal for God's sake!" He insisted making the silence we had maintained for the past few minutes dissipate.
'I know", it's all I could say in this situation. I know I was caught in between a rock and a hard place and my only ticket out if this was Landon.
If Landon somehow managed to get me evidence. Just a little evidence to blackmail Julian maybe I would stop the engagement before it even happened. Maybe then I would tell Crystal the truth and break things off with her.
Maybe I would have my happy ending after all and explore the chemistry I had with Aliya. All these lay on so many ‘maybes'.
'Seems to me you don't know anything. It seems to me you need to be slapped by a dash of reality to realize how complicated things are going to be for you", Jai insisted.
'Then I'll make them uncomplicated", I humored but he did not laugh or smile.
'It still amazes me that with a nearly broken jaw, a swollen cheek, bashed up ribs, and your life about to take a one eighty degree that you can still make jokes. I'm serious, Ethan. Forget about anything you have with Aliya, it's not worth it",he patted my shoulder.
'That's the problem. I can't seem to forget about her not even for a second. She is in my head man", I complained my eyes riveting to the clear sky full of a thousand stars.
'It's not just some obsession you are in love with her, aren't you?"
Love? Was that what this was? Was I really in love with Aliya Maria Fernanda Torres?
