“I… I was just so angry… That’s why…” What could have been a complete sentence became an intermittent one due to Christopher’s eager kisses. I wanted to hang up but he wouldn’t 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.
“Hello? What are you doing? Are you out running? Why do you sound like you’re panting? See, I told you you should’ve exercised and clean yourself up to look prettier. Only then would a handsome man fall for you.”
Sabrina would never expect me to be talking to her through the phone when I was doing it. She continued, “You told me a few days ago that you’ve already settled the divorce with Lyle. Are you done with it already? Don’t act all calm and indifferent all day when I’m dying of anxiety here.”
“We’re already divorced. It was during the afternoon… Ah…” Christopher was probably displeased that I wasn’t 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 couldn’t 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, “I told you not to answer. You can hang up with your chin now.”
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 didn’t know was how alluring I looked at that moment.
He held my head in his palms and leaned over to kiss me. I couldn’t 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.
“Really? That’s great! Now we can finally go have a good time without having to worry. Hey, how’s 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. Let’s see how they can stay on their high horses then,” the woman continued to chatter on and gave me ideas.
I buried my head in the blankets and didn’t dare to say anything else. I gritted my teeth, afraid that I would embarrass myself.
“Hey! Talk to me!” Not receiving any response, Sabrina started to shout through the speakers.
“Sabrina, we’re busy right now. Don’t look for Yvonne in the next few days,” Christopher finally said and he was panting as he spoke.
“You’re with Eve… Oh sh*t! My ears are going deaf soon,” she cursed and instantly hung up. I was embarrassed and I didn’t even dare to look up. Unfortunately, he didn’t 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 wasn’t 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.
“You must not know how long I’ve had a crush on you.”
Who’s talking? That’s weird. I tried to look around but I couldn’t open my eyes.
“Why didn’t you wait for two years? If I knew that you would marry Lyle and go through all this pain, I wouldn’t have joined the military. That way, both of us will be happy.”
Will I be happy? I wasn’t sure, but I was sure that I was very happy now.
“Back 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 wouldn’t 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 couldn’t bring myself to walk away anymore. I only knew then that you didn’t go to Eastsummer, nor did you continue to paint. You had gotten married to someone else instead.”
