I pulled away from him and jerked off the couch. Without turning to look at him or my stepdad, I went to open the door.“Cristela, you came." My mother said gleefully.I hugged her and she hugged me back, times like this seemed precious. I was her daughter and she was my mother, it was simple and perfect.I pulled out of the hug.“This dress looks expensive." She said scrunching her nose at me.“Mum, you know how to ruin a good moment."“Hope those aren't real diamonds Cristela, remember to save."“You're dad's financial advisor, not mine." I told her and I closed the door.She chuckled.“Gabe, it's nice to see you after a few days." My mum said giving him a hug.“It's nice to see you too, Elise. Dariel said you went to visit a friend?."“I did, her daughter just got married." My mother said throwing a sideward glance at me.“Who knows when Cristela would finally decide to get a boyfriend." My mother said, she didn't fail to show her disappointment in her eyes and her tone of voice.G
I couldn't stop him, I watched him leap from there, jumped through the twelve footwall like a cocaine bear and he landed right beside me, he rolled on the ground, got up, dusted his clothes and smiled.“Woah, you look more beautiful from up close, Cristela, look at you." He said coming close, his fingers made contact with my skin and it stung, like small electric currents was passing through his fingers into my skin.“You felt that too didn't you?." He asked me.I tried to make sense of it. Why did I feel it with him, I felt it with Gabriel... This was the universe trying to play ticks with me and test me to see if I'll consider a reverse harem. “I did." I mused.“I have missed you greatly, Cee." He said hugging me, I liked the way he smelt.Not entirely expensive, subtle, calm, natural and homey.I closed my eyes, and basked in the pleasure of being simply held and simply wanted, nothing added.I heard the door slam shut, it deliberately loud so that I would snap, my eyes opened, Ga
GABRIELJacob is talking, everyone is laughing. He's teasing, saying things that feels like a sharp knife twisting my soul and all I want is to get out of here. Once again I'm reminded of my dark and sorrow-filled childhood.I'm the black sheep, that doesn't get the luxury to laugh with the rest. I'm reminded of Cristela's words, her threats. I want to tell him that she's mine, simple. Cristela is mine but she made it clear that anything I say or do would make her leave me for good and I never even knew that something as small as that would make her leave me.It made me feel our relationship doesn't feel significant to her. I'm tortured, it feels like a plague.I can't leave, I love her too much, but, I don't want to be here. For the first time in my entire life I'm scared, for the first time in a long while I'm genuinely scared.Fear was never a thing I felt before until this afternoon when she hung up on me and then I came here to find her bag in the door but the entire house was
I opened the door of the car and held it open for Cristela to climb in. She was as eager as I was. It was a good sign. I entered into the car, closed the door and looked outside. All the windows were tinted, no one could see us. Even if they tried. I wondered why Dariel or Elise didn't come out to look for us, maybe Jacob was keeping them entertained. I reached for Cristela and pulled her on my lap so she would be straddling me, I kissed her once more, smiling as she moaned on my lips. I needed to get the clothes off her body, I was desperate to put out every barrier between us. Her hand came up to the top button of my shirt, I kissed her knuckles and put my hand behind her back to find the zipper.I pulled it down and slipped the dress quickly off her shoulders, she took her fingers off my shirt and pulled her hands out of the arm loop, the dress came down to her belly.I took out two more buttons and my shirt was off, I tossed it to the side of the car. She looked outside anxiou
“Gabriel... Wake up baby."My eyes snapped open. Cristela was hovering above me, she was wearing her dress already. I had slept off.“You slept." She whispered.“I'll go and say bye to Dariel and Elise, so they wouldn't suspect anything."She chuckled and my eyes lightened, I reached for her face and stroked her chin to her jaw.“What's so funny?." I asked her.“Look outside." She said.I raised a questioning brow at her but I didn't say anything, I turned to the window to see that we were in my compound.“I drove home, I didn't say anything to them, I just drove away." She said resting her head on my shoulder and sitting on my lap. She called my house home. I swallowed hard savouring the moment of pure Bliss. “They might ask questions..." I began saying.“Shuush." She said, bringing her finger to my lips.“Did you just shush me?." I asked her parting my lips, she slipped her finger inside my mouth.“I just did." She said raising her chin up, I bit on her finger softly, and I sucked
I comb my fingers through my hair.“I don't tolerate cheating, any form or kind. I detest it. It's hard to explain how much I hate it—" She cut me off sharply." No, you don't have to explain how much you hate it, i understand." She smiled knowingly, in understanding." Don't ever cheat on me." I begged, I could hear the nervousness in my own voice and the desperation but I didn't care, I needed her to promise me.“Gabriel, you know I'll never do that to you." She said turning around so we can face each other again but this time we were closer, our bodies were touching under the water.“Jacob." I said and she shook her head and laughed.“Jacob is goodlooking, everyone can attest to that, but he's not what I look for in a man." She said running an invisible line down my jaw with her fingers. “I'll never cheat you on with anyone." She said reassuringly.I grabbed her fingers and kissed each knuckle and I tugged her hard so she would fall towards me.“You're mine." I told her. The move
I shot up from sleep, my chest was heaving abnormally fast and I was either out of breath or I had too much air in my lungs. The sweat slipping from my forehead to my eyes was stinging and uncomfortable. I reached for Cristela and the bed was empty, immediately panic gripped my entire body and I want to climb down the bed and go in search for her but my muscles were too weak from realizing that she was gone. “No don't leave me." I was yelling. "Come back Cristela!." “Gabriel!." I heard Cristela's voice, I managed to look up, I saw her running through the door, she was in my t-shirt... She's still here.“You left me."“No, I didn't leave you, I was cooking breakfast." I looked to the window to see dim lightness, it was just the breaking of dawn.I pulled her closer to me and held her there." Don't leave me again." “I'm here." She whispered softly in my ear, it was a lullaby.The next time I woke up she was sitting with her legs crossed and holding a book. Her eyes were not on th
He sat first, on his large office chair that swiveled. I walked and stopped in front of him and held his hand for support. I raised my left leg and leaned in, I straddled him and put my right leg. “Comfortable?." He asked with concern.“Yes " I said sitting comfortable on his laps. “I missed you." He said kissing the tip of my nose.It tickled, my toes curled in my shoes and I squirmed.“You've only been gone for like an hour." I said playing with his hair."An hour without you is like an eternity without oxygen, Cristela."“How romantic... How was the meeting."“Everything went well."The phone on his desk rang distracting us. “What?." He asked sharply“Wayne... I forward all calls to Kylee, I only take important calls.... What are you doing in the reception, I'm busy.... Wayne, I don't have time for this."He ended the call and dropped the phone back on the desk. “What?." He asked with a raised brow.I wondered how he always managed to read my thoughts.“Nothing."“Cristela..."
