Alistair's Pov

I was far away from them, and Evelyn was way really in close proximity with my father. She couldn't be stopped and neither was I in a position to confront my father. I didn't want to risk anything and I didn't want to answer the innumerable amount of questions at the same time. So, I decided to march carefully in front of them, so that no one notices me, but was taken aback when Evelyn started poking my father with her pointer finger on his chest.

Oh no. Damn it. I stepped closer to them, sat behind the table which was close to the exact location where dad and Evelyn were standing, and faced my dad's back. I hid my face through the menu card and observed them. I couldn't do anything about their correspondence and considering the fact that Evelyn was drunk, I was scared a bit more than most.

"Hi there Mr. Di---", she paused and started poking on my dad's chest again. My dad stepped back, so I instinctively covered my face with the menu card completely.

"Excuse me? I didn't recognize you, young lady? Have we met before?" my dad's statement was full of question marks. I couldn't see him, but I could count the stretch marks on his face. He always made sure to avoid interacting with ladies, because he was extra cautious about the controversies, which was the major reason why I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him with Evelyn's mom.

Evelyn grinned, showing all her teeth, and stepped closer to dad "But, I've met you before. I recognize you", she twitched her lips, and smiled again. Oh no, no, no. Please shut up Evelyn. Stop speaking, if only I was twin-telepathically connected with her.

"Mr. Dickman. Dick Dick Dick-man" was she calling out my father by our last name or was she cursing us indirectly? "Diiiiiiiiiiiickman", she continued "I mean, someone can curse you indirectly and you won't even realize it", she laughed hysterically whilst making fun of my father. "I like it though, Mr. Dick-Dick-Dickman"

"Excuse me, young lady. Not only you're disrespectful but also you lack manners. I wish your parents would've taught you the way to talk with adults", my father instinctively stopped her while she kept on repeating my surname. Oh, no, talk about first bad impressions.

"Oh. Wow. Manners, I wish---", she was about to say something. Maybe, something which could disclose her identity, which could make my father aware that she was the daughter of his accomplice, which was Rosaline aka Humpty Dumpty.

I had to do something, but whatever I had to do, it had to be real quick. I tried to accelerate the working capacity of my brain cells so as to think of a way to draw a dividing line between them, without them being aware of it. I, at once, picked my ass up from the seat and walked far away from them, far enough to keep my voice inaudible from my father's ears.

"Dad...?" I called him, and to my content, he picked up the phone at once. He halted Evelyn to speak any further and answered "Yes, son?"

"Daddy", I cried in pain. No, it wasn't any real pain. It was just an act, and also one of my core competencies. People, who know me, would be aware of it.

"Yes, son, for the second time"

"Ow. I met with a real bad accident. Oh, my God. I can't take it any longer. All I can see is blood on my legs and elbows. The road's quite vacant too. Can you be my ride, please? I-I'm losing consciousness, I guess. Da-dad", I stammered and hung the phone that very instinct, and refused to speak any further.

"Alistair. You're there? Can you hear me? Son....?" dad sounded worried. For a minute, I really felt bad for bringing up such an act, but, I had no other choice. If Evelyn would've opened her mouth, she would either alert my father about something he was hiding or would've created some trouble for herself.

I watched my father from afar. He, without waiting for another second, rushed towards the exit. I first watched his sight disappear as I wanted to play safe because I couldn't ever question my father's smartness. He was always a step ahead of me, so, I had to call him back and assure him that I was safe, but, I first had to take Evelyn away. I had to cover my lies before it could create any actual serious problem for me.

I, at once, took hold of Evelyn, and literally pulled her to the room I rented for us. She didn't agree to move at first, so I had to push her, pull her and even pick her up for a while. Everyone around watched us humorously. Some even commented, "I pity the husband". Everyone around considered us a couple who fought a lot.

After successfully reaching, and locking the room. I called dad again. I didn't want to scare him, because the look on his face clearly showed that he was in agony. My father did really love me, no matter how much he acted distant or strange. He was the one person I could never figure out, in my 24 years of life.

"I'm sorry dad. I'm sorry to interrupt you and your work----"

"No, it's okay son, really. Tell me your exact location so that I can come to pick you up. You really scared me. I hope you're doing fine. You are, right?" Dad questioned in one single breath. I really felt guilty on hearing his voice. On realizing how much wrong I was to scare him in the first place.

"That's why I called. Zack and Chace picked me up, and, currently, I'm on my way to the hospital. I'll catch you later"

"If you're on the road, then why can't I hear any honking?" so the trouble began. I had to lie again to cover up the lie I said earlier. It felt like my whole life was a lie. And, what made me guilty was the fact of me lying to my loved ones over and over again. But, I had no other choice. They say that saying the truth always helps, but some lies protect relations more than any truth could ever. Some truth devastates one's relationship and thereby ends it. It's better to lie and stay safe. But, the scariest part about lies is that, no matter how much you try to hide it, it definitely is out someday.

I thought for a witty reply and then finally answered "Dad. The windows are closed. Do you seriously want to hear the sound of horns this instinct?"

"I'm sorry. Take care. Call me if you require anything" he canceled the phone. I locked Evelyn in the room and peeped through the huge common balcony. My eyes encountered his sight again in a couple of minutes. He was talking on the phone with someone whilst he was walking. When he entered the lobby, I couldn't locate him so I sprinted towards my room again.

I had a plan, a plan to inquire and investigate. My father wouldn't tell me straightforwardly, so I had to make things work my way. Now, most probably, he'd be in his room, but maybe in the morning, he'd move out, and that would be my time to sneak in. Not wasting any more time, I rushed inside my room and was amazed when my eyes located Evelyn.

She was wearing a soft bathing robe, which most probably would've been in the wardrobe. That's one thing I love about 5-star hotels. They make you feel at home, by providing you with every basic amenity. The robe was tightly knotted and was knee length. Her long legs caught my attention, no matter how much I tried to take my eyes from them, I couldn't. Her hair was gathered in a bun, and some portion of her baby hair rested on her forehead.

I tried turning away and moving in the bed's direction. It felt like she wasn't over the hangover yet. I quickly called the hotel's service, ordered lemonade for her, so that she could drain away from the alcohol. "My head's aching so hard. I guess I'll take a shower", I caught her by her wrist and pulled her close to mine.

She sat at once, our thighs touched that moment, and it did touch my desires as well. What else do you expect? I'm human, and most importantly a man. A man who is attracted to the lady who was sitting next to her, "You sure can, the lemonade is on its way", I, with the help of my fingers, pushed the tiny strand of her hair behind her ears.

So, she was gaining her senses again. Precisely, turning back to what she really was. The Evelyn who never spoke too much, nor laughed showing off her teeth, and was silent all the time! As soon as the waiter knocked, I allowed him inside. He came with a tray that contained lemonade and a can of coke, which was for me, of course. He greeted us 'good night' and left the room at once.

Evelyn gulped the whole of the lemonade, in like 3 sips. She smiled looking at me and started unknotting the robe she was wearing. I tried my best not to corner my eyes. She strolled towards the bathroom's door, and loosened the dress, making it travel through her body.

Okay, Al, control. Control, control, and control... my eyes craved for her sight, but my heart didn't allow it. In the end, my heart lost, and my eyes found serenity when looking at her back. It looked smooth, soft, and kissable. She locked the bathroom door, and I could hear the noise of water hitting the floor. My mind was where she was, and I certainly wanted to be there, too.

Suddenly, I heard a knock on the bathroom door, so I quickly sprinted towards it. "You okay?" I questioned.

"Yeah, I just need a towel. Can you hand me?" she opened the door slightly. The only thing she propelled through the door was her wet hand. ...My bad because I couldn't see anything. So I rushed towards the wardrobe and removed a soft white neatly folded towel. I took possession of it and made my way towards Evelyn.

"Here", I tried touching her palms with my fingers before handing her the towel. It didn't go as expected, as she reluctantly pulled her hands away, but surprisingly, opened more of the door. So, was she feeling the same emotions as me? I couldn't shift my gaze off the view I was encountering. It was exquisite, alluring, and beautiful. I know they have the same meaning, but I couldn't say anything, but gasp.

She pulled me closer to her, inside the bathroom. In my mind, I did a quick happy flip. Water traveled through her hair, to her chest, her stomach, and finally glided till her toes. Water started soaking in my clothes and hence made it all wet. The water was hot, but she was hotter. Her hair was open and rested on either side of her shoulder blades. It wasn't that shot, but it kind of looked shot. I breathed in, with great difficulty because the water kept flowing. "So.....?" I questioned.

Her face was pale like she was suffering from a lot. Her expressions denoted everything, so it wasn't difficult for me to feel her pain. She locked her hands on either side of my shoulders, and, in a while, started unbuttoning my shirt. I took a glance at her, and caught her wrist tightly "You don't have to"

"I want to", she finally spoke and started unbuttoning my shirt again. The moment she finished doing it, I threw my shirt on the floor. She placed a small kiss on my neck, making me forget everything. I didn't know what was she up to, but, somewhere I felt that she was using it to forget about the pain, to encounter the happiness, though for a small amount of time.

I kept myself firm and ceased self to make any move. Sexual desires were charging within me at an uncontrollable speed and were making every decision of mine void. I tilted her chin up so that she could see me in my eyes. The drifting water made the situation more sensuous than ever. I, without wasting a second rested my lips on hers. I kissed her top lip, and then her bottom lip softly. She continued the kiss and made it more passionate.

I sucked her lips, and softly nibbled on her lower lip. She smiled, and opened her mouth, giving my tongue a passage to go down her throat. No, I wasn't any reptile, but you get my point. Our tongues collided with each other, slowly at first and then aggressively. I was the dominant one, so I sucked her tongue, feeling her, her taste. I've locked lips with many girls, but she was the one who ceased my capacity to make another move. With her, I always was cautious. Because, I knew somewhere that, one wrong move of mine, could lead to great consequences.

I wanted to taste every inch of her body, but I didn't. This wasn't one perfect time. I wanted to do more with my hands, but I stiffened them. I wanted to feel her, feel the feeling in her body, but I didn't because I couldn't. I wasn't sure that she was in a complete 'love-making' mood yet.

She unbuckled my belt and tried loosening it. Okay, she definitely was sane, but she wasn't as sane as she always was. I couldn't and shouldn't take this kiss to another level, so I stopped at once and turned off the shower's switch. "Ar---"

I cut her off and placed my fingers on her lips "Shush", I circled my lips as I turned her down. I quickly exited the bathroom, and move towards the wardrobe to removed another towel out.
