âI⦠I was just so angry⦠Thatâs whyâ¦â What could have been a complete sentence became an intermittent one due to Christopherâs eager kisses. I wanted to hang up but he wouldnât let go of my hands. That was why I was forced to hold in the feeling of pleasure as I bit my lips to stop myself from making any weird noises. I was about to go crazy soon.
âHello? What are you doing? Are you out running? Why do you sound like youâre panting? See, I told you you shouldâve exercised and clean yourself up to look prettier. Only then would a handsome man fall for you.â
Sabrina would never expect me to be talking to her through the phone when I was doing it. She continued, âYou told me a few days ago that youâve already settled the divorce with Lyle. Are you done with it already? Donât act all calm and indifferent all day when Iâm dying of anxiety here.â
âWeâre already divorced. It was during the afternoon⦠Ahâ¦â Christopher was probably displeased that I wasnât paying him my full attention and was talking to someone else while we were doing it. He was becoming more and more aggressive and I couldnât hold it in anymore.
I turned back and glared at him before gesturing for him to either help me hang up or let go of me. But he was grinning from ear to ear and even got more aggressive with his moves. The look in his eyes clearly said, âI told you not to answer. You can hang up with your chin now.â
I was on the brink of tears as I noticed that I had unknowingly put some distance between the phone and myself. His hands were around my waist with such great force it was as though he wanted to break my waist.
Is it too late to apologize now? I wanted so much to cry and my eyes had already reddened. What I didnât know was how alluring I looked at that moment.
He held my head in his palms and leaned over to kiss me. I couldnât even turn my neck, so all I could do was beg with my eyes. His lips hovered over my eyes before kissing the tears away and before letting me go.
âReally? Thatâs great! Now we can finally go have a good time without having to worry. Hey, howâs your progress with my idol? Should I hold a party so you can both hook up with each other? You can even show your love to Lyle and the rest. Letâs see how they can stay on their high horses then,â the woman continued to chatter on and gave me ideas.
I buried my head in the blankets and didnât dare to say anything else. I gritted my teeth, afraid that I would embarrass myself.
âHey! Talk to me!â Not receiving any response, Sabrina started to shout through the speakers.
âSabrina, weâre busy right now. Donât look for Yvonne in the next few days,â Christopher finally said and he was panting as he spoke.
âYouâre with Eve⦠Oh sh*t! My ears are going deaf soon,â she cursed and instantly hung up. I was embarrassed and I didnât even dare to look up. Unfortunately, he didnât want to let me off the hook. He turned me around and a wicked smile hung on his lips.
It was a wild ride and I was in a daze. I wasnât even able to move my fingers by the time I heard him say something. All I could do was lay below him as if I was a dead fish.
In the end, I drifted off to sleep because I was too tired.
âYou must not know how long Iâve had a crush on you.â
Whoâs talking? Thatâs weird. I tried to look around but I couldnât open my eyes.
âWhy didnât you wait for two years? If I knew that you would marry Lyle and go through all this pain, I wouldnât have joined the military. That way, both of us will be happy.â
Will I be happy? I wasnât sure, but I was sure that I was very happy now.
âBack then, I thought that you would go overseas and do what you wanted with your paintings. That was why I thought of joining the army. That way, my family wouldnât force me to marry Monica. After that, I would go overseas and look for you when I made a name for myself and retire. Yet, when I saw you and Lyle holding hands in the hotel, I couldnât bring myself to walk away anymore. I only knew then that you didnât go to Eastsummer, nor did you continue to paint. You had gotten married to someone else instead.â
