11. starting over
HER POV
I can feel my heart beating fast against my chest as I get closer and closer to my peak. Light droplets of sweat trickle down my forehead.
"Samantha," Brian groans as he too feels the climax coming.
He grinds himself against me faster and faster as the moaning grows louder. We both groan out in pleasure as we finish. Heavy panting is the only sound that fills the room.
"That was amazing," I say as Brian sets me down.
"It sure was," he replies before planting a kiss on my forehead.
My legs feel wobbly as I slide on Brian's shirt and walk over to his desk. Brian slide on his briefs and jeans. The blue wedding invitation catch my attention and I lift a brow.
"Are you going to go?" I ask as I pick up the wrinkled card.
"I don't know," Brian rakes a hand through his messy brown locks. He then smirks as his eyes travel up my legs. "Or maybe I will."
"Really?" I ask with an amused smirk as I throw the invitation back onto the desk.
"Yes, if my beautiful girlfriend will go with me of course." Brian states with a sneaky smile.
He walks over to me and I guide myself into his opened arms. My smile widens at the realization. I look up at him through my eyelashes.
"So, I am your girlfriend now?" I tilt my head to the side and he nods.
The past few weeks Brian and I have been seeing each other before my night shifts, but we never put a label on it until now. Making me his 'girlfriend' makes it much more real.
I look into his eyes and smile. I know that all of this is wrong and that there is a possibility I will regret it later, but for now I want to enjoy it. Enjoy this feeling of peace. Not having to worry about the world I ran away from.
"Well then, I would like it if my boyfriend dropped me off at work," I grin like a schoolgirl.
He grabs my hand and places a gentle kiss on it. He then brushes back the strands of hair falling over my face. The sweet tender touch causes a fluttery feeling at the pit of my stomach.
"Your wish is my command," he says.
We quickly get dressed into our original clothes and we take the elevator from his work-studio to the first floor. He holds on to my hand and it makes me feel like I am back in my teens.
A cool breeze greets us as we step into the busy streets. Unlike at night, the city is now crowded with tourists and residents alike. I take my time to enjoy the scenery as I walk beside Brian. The nightclub is only a few streets away from his job.
The tall skyscrapers tower above us. The loud honking and cursing of the vehicles driving through the doors fills my ears. The various scents of street food make my stomach growl a little as my mouth waters. New York City. It is quite beautiful but very different from where I come from.
As I close my eyes I can feel the warm breeze mixed in with the sweet scent of roses. No street food smells. No loud noises.
"...getting out today?" Brian's voice snaps me out of my thoughts.
"Huh?" I ask not sure of what he had said.
Brian seems amused by my easily distracted self and chuckles soft. He wraps his arm around my waist as we approach Midnight Sinn.
"I hope I did not get you too tired love," Brian says with a small frown. "I don't want you tired at work or distracted."
"I am good," I assure as I wrap my hands around his strong arms. "Thank you for walking me to work. I'll see you tonight."
"I'll see you tonight," Brian pecks my lips.
As I turn on my heel, he takes the opportunity to smack my behind and I turn to him with a frown. He only laughs off my reaction but I nudge him with my elbow.
"I'll get my payback when I see you," I threaten as he begins to walk down the street and this only makes him laugh harder.
I smile as I watch his retreating figure. Then a sudden shiver runs down my back. The feeling of someone watching me washes over me. I look around but all the parked cars seem to be empty. I shake the feeling off and walk into the bar.
MYSTERY POV
"Ms Moretti will not appreciate our presence if she finds us here," my chauffeur says in a nervous tone.
My icy blue eyes turn to meet his gaze through the rear-view mirror. I lift one eyebrow to show my defiance. He sinks into his seat and diverts his eyes. I find satisfaction from his cowardice action.
My ringtone interrupts the silence. I look down at the smartphone and roll my eyes as I see who's name is flashing through the screen.
"Cio caro fratello," I say with small smirk on the corner of my lips.
"Where have you disappeared to this time?"
I look out the window at the tall skyscraper buildings. Then my eyes fall on the brunette across the street. She looks ever so happy, holding tightly onto the man next to her.
"I came to hunt—" I easily lie. The upward lift of my scarlet lips expands. "—and I just found myself a cute little lost volpina."
