ALIYA TORRES
'What now?" I asked my fingers glazing over his chest as we lay on the bed.
I tried not thinking about the fact that I had told him I loved him back in the bathroom. I didn't mean to overwhelm him but I thought he ought to know what I felt for him.
And yesterday when I saw him hurt and broken, I also felt the same way. As if I had also been hurt for what he was going through. Surely I wouldn't have felt if I thought he was my friend. I loved him. I loved him so much and after what happened in the bathroom, I realized there was no need denying my feelings for him.
It didn't matter if he didn't feel the same way, he would soon feel the same way and I could guarantee it. I still felt sore down there but I replayed what happened in the bathroom over and over being very sure that I would make myself wet.
It was like I had a lot of emotions going through my body all at once, all of them threatening to explode and when I did explode, I felt divine knowing he was behind me to support me.
And when the bathing started and he knelt on the floor his tongue torturing my center with the utmost desire I exploded even louder than before. Sweating, moaning and cussing in a way I didn't think was possible.
I wanted to make him feel the same way I did but he insisted that today was all about me. It was all about him tasting my body and mastering every square inch of my skin.
He had made me feel like a goddess, a queen and I could now understand why people were obsessed with sex. We hadn't had sex yet but if mere teasing had made me run wild I wondered how thrilling sex would be. Would it be just as passionate?
'I'll talk to Crystal",he muttered stroking my hair gently,"she cheated on me. Our relationship is over"
I didn't want to overthink things but the way he said it, it was like he still had feelings for Crystal buried inside of him. I didn't let him see that I was affected or jealous even if I was.
'And…what about us?"
God, even asking that made me seem desperate as if I were begging for a relationship, for him to notice and remember me.
'I don't know. Should I talk to your mother first?" He humored and I parted from him staring at him.
'What?"
'Aliya, she has to know that I'm interested in her daughter and that I have plans to start courting her"
What? I blushed. I smiled. I tried not to get affected but he was going to start courting me? I couldn't believe it! Me of all people? No one had ever court me before so I was rather unfamiliar to the word.
'Court me? Are you serious?"
'You wanted a man to sweep you off your feet and so shall I",he said it casually no hint of amusement on his face.
How could I tell him that he had already swept me off my feet. That my heart belonged to him already. That he was the only man I thought of and dreamed about when I slept.
'What if I don't want to be courted. What if I don't want you", I joked watching his expression suddenly harden as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
'Then I'll kidnap you and marry you by force",he tugged on my waist pulling me closer to him,"there's no escapes me so get used to my face and my scent because I have already memorized every inch of you"
I held his cheeks tenderly looking into his eyes not sure whether this was happening or if I was dreaming. God, he was so handsome.
And he was…he was mine.
I never had the chance to call someone my man but now arrogant cocky Ethan Carter was my man. My soulmate. My other half.
We lay on his bed for a while making jokes with him telling me what he liked and I the same.
'I hate coffee. I mean do make it for you sometimes but I don't like it. I love tea"
'Then why were you working at a coffee shop the first day we met?" He asked.
'Because I had no choice. I was short on cash and then some arrogant devil got me fired", I jabbed his chest with my finger.
'To be fair, you did burn me with hot coffee it was the only reasonable thing to do. What if you burnt someone else? We wouldn't want that would we?"
'You jerk!" I slapped his chest,"I was chasing after a thief before you creeped up on me making me lose my grip on the mug"
'What thief?"
'A con. A man I gave money to help me become a model but he escaped with all my money. I know I was dumb for thinking he would turn me to a model but a girl could only dream right?"
His callous hand went to my cheek, his eyes peering into mine.
'You are not dumb. Everyone does something in an attempt to get high in life"
'Really? What dumb thing have you ever done to get where you were now?" I asked watching his expression change and him getting off the bed.
'I think it's time I had that talk with Crystal",he said and I took it as the cue to pick my clothes from the floor and go downstairs to start working.
I wondered what Mila would say, damn, she would scold it until I was sure I needed hearing aids. How else would I explain that I had been in Ethan's room from yester night up to today noon?
'I'm trusting you slept well?"
That was Mila's first question and I nodded walking to the fridge to take out a carton of milk.
'Yes", I said taking a glass from the counter. I was surprised there was still some glasses left given the fact that Ethan had tried smashing every glass in the house.
'And how did Ethan sleep? Is he better?" She asked chopping the cucumbers.
'Yeah. He's much better now", I explained.
There was clearly tension in the room and I didn't want to be the one to clear it.
'Maybe I was wrong",she started and I put my glass down asking what she meant.
'I was wrong about Ethan being in love with Crystal. He doesn't show as much love in Crystal as he does in you. He cares for you in a way that I can't explain. He talks to you when he is troubled, one thing that Ethan never does with anyone"
