Since the last time we saw each other, Edward had become a bit apart. That's maybe my fault,being so busy with work... He's still here every evening,still helping out with ideas and whatever I ask him. But there's something keeping him away from me. I don't know if I want to find out what. We will see.
Perhaps it was a mistake to get so close to him. But I couldn't help it! With one look he can change the whole day around me. Am I in love? Hmmm... Maybe.
It's been two weeks since I met him, and I haven't seen him for 3 days. My cell phone turned red hot from all the texting and calling his number. And no answer. Perhaps this was a mistake." Of course it was a mistake! He couldn't care less!" Ok,it's time to regroup. Time to rethink my strategies. One man,a stranger, can't ruin my thoughts in two weeks. ...right?
It's Sunday morning,finally a day just for me! No calls from work, I told Ella that I don't want to be disturbed even if the Sun falls on the ground.
-Sure thing,Cathy, I will take care of everything. Are you ok? You seem a bit upset.
-Of course I'm ok, hun,it's just the stress.
-If you say so... Have a nice weekend!
-Thanks hun,have a great one too!
And that was it. I lied. I was hurt. I was suffering. Where is he?! Why won't he answer the phone?! I wrote him one last text message: "Hope you're having a blast wherever you are. So will I. Kiss"
That will burn his mind. Huh!
The clock shows 9 am..."it's time for a shower,lady!" I'm crawling to the shower,the hot water makes my blood move and the lazy sensation is gone. What to do today? First,eat. Then..."Stop thinking about him,will you?!" It's hard not to. But not impossible.
After eating a bowl of cereals and milk,my stomach felt queasy, and I wish I wouldn't have eaten anything. It's sunny outside,maybe a little sun... Where did I put my bathing suit? Damn... It's nowhere to be found. Okay. Then something else will do. Or nothing at all. At least I have tall fences around my property,no one would see me. I grab my iPhone,and head out. The heat hits me in the face,the air is irespirable. Good. My favourite play list is on repeat,I take off my clothes,leaving only a tiny bikini on. Geez,I needed a day off! The warmth feels great on my skin,and fortunately I tan fast. Listening to the voice of Gareth Gates,imagining his face singing,and I fall asleep. At least I think I am asleep,this is a dream. In the sunlight stands Edward,looking at me.
-You are so beautiful! Where have you been so far? I have been looking for you all my life,and yet there you are,after 500 years,in front of my eyes. I love you! he whispers.
And I can't say a thing. It's like I'm mesmerised by his eyes,his presence. Crap! It's just a dream... "Wake up already! You will never have this in real life,stop fucking about, get on with your life!" Obedient as usual,I wake up. It feels like I'm in hell,the sun almost burned my skin,and I don't dare to open my eyes.
-Catherine...are you awake?
"What?! He's here?! And I'm naked!"
The sunlight blocks my view,my eyes hurt,but instinctively I jump to my feet and try to cover my body.
-What are you doing here?! Don't you know that you're supposed to call first? What is I wasn't alone?
-You ask too many questions. His face was amused.
-And you don't know the answers! I was shouting at him,for no reason. Excuse me,I'm gonna go put something on.
-You do that. Do you want a cold drink?
-Yes,a cup of ice lemonade.
-Coming up!
After trying a summer dress,white with small flowers painted on,and twirling in the mirror,I approved satisfied that it was the right choice.
Downstairs,on the white couch,was lying the one man I desired. Dressed in white, a shirt that left his chest open for admiring. The rest didn't matter. He looked like a god descended from the sky,for us mortals to worship.
I am approaching nervously.
-Here's your lemonade. His voice was harsh, it seemed like he was concentrating on the words.
-Thank you.
-So,are you having a blast yet? And the smile behind the words made my cheeks turn red. "You're such a child! He's mocking you!"
-Actually I was,and now...
-Did I ruin your day? He interrupted,seriously.
-No! I hurried the answer. Not at all. Its just that I didn't expect you here,today. As you could see.
-Hm! Yes. But now I'm here,and if you want me to leave...
-No! again,I rushed. "Focus,woman!" And I turned to him: -Where were you? Why didn't you call back?
Obviously he didn't expect that. He frowned.
-I was away, had some business to attend. And I wanted to call you,but I really didn't have the time.
-Yeah... "You're staring at me!" I was uncomfortable, his eyes were piercing my cheek,looking for eye contact. But I don't dare to look at him. Not now. If I do,I won't be able to contain myself.
I didn't have to look,his hands touched my face,turning my eyes to him.
-I'm sorry I didn't answer the phone. I'm sorry I've upset you.
And he pulled me closer,with cold fingers.
-Can you forgive me? Please?
Huh...what do you do in a situation like that?!
-Ummm...I think I can. And I lifted my eyes to look at him. His face was perfect,as always. My lips parted to say something...but I couldn't. His mouth covered mine,and kissed lightly,innocent. DAMN! Why must he be so fine?!
-You know,he said in a whisper,in the garden,while you were sleeping,perhaps dreaming,you said my name. Were you dreaming of me?
"Yes!!!" -Not actually, it was just a reaction to your presence. "You're the worst liar ever!"
-Hmmmm...and he came closer. So you weren't dreaming of me. What were you dreaming of?
"Hahahhahah! Answer him!"
-I don't remember,you woke me too sudden.
-I see... Hm! You look amazing in this dress. And his voice was changed again.
"Cut the crap man,and kiss me already!"
-I know. Can I do something?
-Please,feel free to act on your own.
In one move I climbed in his lap,so that we were face to face. His coolness f... |
Edward-2.
