Edward 2-3
Continuare:
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 stil here every evening, stil
heiping out with ideas and whatever | ask him. But there's something keeping him
away îrom me. ! dont know if ! want to find out what. We wil see.
Perhaps it was a mistake to get so close to him. But ! couidntt help it! With one
ook he can change the whole day around me. Am ! in love? Hmmm... Maybe.
IS been two weeks since ! met him, and! haventt seen him for 3 days. My cell
phone turned red hot from li the texting and caling his number. And no answer.
Perhaps this was a mistake. ” Ofcourse it was a mistake! He couidntt care less! *
Ok, it's time to regroup. Time to rethink my strategies. One man, a stranger, cant
ruin my thoughts în îwo weeks... right?
Its Sunday morning, finaliy a day just for me! No calis from wort, | told Ella that !
dont want to be disturbed even if the Sun falls on the ground.
-Sure thing, Cathy, ! wil take care of everyihing. Are you ok? You seem a bit
upset.
-Of course tim ok, hun, its just he stress.
-lfyou say so... Have & nice weekend!
-Thanks hun, have a great one too!
And that was ît 1 lied. ! was hurt. ! was suftering. Where îs he?! Why wont he
answer the phone?! wrote him one last text messege: "Hope you're having a blast
Wherever you are. So wil . Kiss"
That wil burn his mind. Huh!
The clock shows 9 am... 1i's time for a shower, lady! * lim crawiing to the shower,
(he hot water makes my blood move and the lazy sensation is gone. What to do
today? First, eat. Then... "Stop thinking about him, wil you?! * Its hard not to. But
not impossible.
After eating a bowl of cereais and mik, my stomach felt queasy, and! wish |
would! have eaten anything. It's sunny oulside, maybe a iile sun... Where did !
put my bathing suit? Damn... It's nowhere to be found. Okay. Then something else
wil do. Or nothing at ali. At least | have tali fences around my property, no one
would see me. | grab myiPhone, and head out. The heat hits me în the face, the
air îs irespirable. Good. My favourite play îist is on repeat. | take off my clolhes,
eaving only a tiny bitini on. Geez, | needed a day of The warmih feels great on
my skin, and fortunately! tan fast. Listening to the voice of Gareth Gates, imagining
his face singing, and ! îali asleep. At least | think | am asleep, this s a dream. În the
sunkght stands Edward, looking at me.
-You are so beauţitul! Where have you been so far? | have been loohing for you ali
my lite, and yet there you are, afler 500 years, în front of my eyes. ! love you! he
whispers.
And ! cant say a thing. It's ke [im mesmerised by his eyes, his presence. Crap!
I's just a dream. "Wake up already! You wil never have this în reallife, stop
fucting about, get on with your ile! Obedient as usual, | wake up. 1 feels fe I'm
n heli, the sun almost burned my Shin, and ! dont dare to open my eyes.
-Catherine... are you awake?
"What?! He's here?! And [m naked! *
The suniight blocks my view, my eyes hurt, but instinctively jump to my feet and
ry to cover my body.
-What are you doing here?! Dont you know that youtre supposed to call first?
What is | wasntt alone?
-You ask too many questions. His face was amused.
-And you dont know the answers! ! was shouting at him, for no reason. Excuse
me, In gonna go put something on.
-You do that. Do you want a cold drink?
-Yes, a cup ofice lemonade.
-Coming up!
After trying a summer dress, white with smal! flowers painted on, and twirling în
ne mirror, | anproved satisfied that it was the right choice.
Downstairs, on the white couch, was Iying the one man | desired. Dressed în
white, a shirt that left his chest open for admiring. The rest didnt matter. He jooked
ie a god descended from the siy, for us mortals to worship.
| am approaching nervousiy.
-Here's your lemonade. His voice was harsh, it seemed ie he was concentrating
on the words
-Thank you
-So, are you having a blast yet? And the smile behind the words made my cheeks
tum red. "Youre such a childi He's mocking you! * -Actualiy ! was, and now.
-Did! ruin your day? He interrupted, seriousiy.
-No! | hurried the answer. Not at all Is just îhat | didntt expect you here, today. As
you could see.
-Hm! Yes. But now I'm here, and if you want me to leave.
-No! again, | rushed. "Focus, woman! * And! turned to him: -Where were you?
Why didnit you call back?
Obviousiy he didntt expect that. He frowned.
-1 was away, had some business to attend. And! wanted to call you, but ! realy
didntt have the time.
-Veah... "Youte Staring at me! "! was uncomtortable, his eyes were piercing my
cheek, looking for eye contact. But ! dontt dare to look at him. Not now. If do, !
wontt be able to contain myselt.
1 didntt have to look, his hands touched my face, turning my eyes to him.
-m sorry | didntt answer the phone. lim sorry I've upset you
And he pulied me closer, with cold fingers.
-Can you forgive me? Please?
Huh... what do you do în a situation like that?!
-Uminm... [think ! can. And | lifted my eyes to look at him. His face was pertect, as
ahvays. My lips parted to say something... but! couldntt. His mouth covered mine,
and hissed light, inocent. DÂMN! Why must he be so fine?!
-You know, he saidin a whisper, în îhe garden, while you were sleeping, perhaps
dreaming, you said my name. Were you dreaming of me?
"Vest!! * “Not actuali, it was just a reaction (o your presence. "You're the worst
iar ever! * -Hmmm... and he came closer. So you werent dreaming of me. What
were you dreaming of?
"Hehahhahah! Answer him! *-! dont remember, you woke me too sudden.
-/ see... Him! You look amazing în this dress. And his voice was changed again.
"Cut the crap man, and kiss me already! *-t now. Can ! do something?
-Please, feel tree fo act on your own.
in one move | ciimbed in his lap, so that we were face to face. His cooiness felt
great to my body, Like a huge cube ofice on a hot stove. Except he didnt mett
1 started to unbutton his shi, with trembling fingers. Looking into his eyes made
ine action so much tougher to accompish. But 1 did it. His chest felt ie satin.
Playing with my fingers on him, | reached area above the bett. The muscles under
ine skin were stone hard, and that got me thinking at the marble statues of the
Lowre museum. A quick glance at him and ! could see that he wasnt breathing
anymore. His eyes were closed, expecting my actions,
-Edward... Are you stii here?: )
No answer.
-Edward? And | leaned closer to him. The second he felt my breath on his face, he
opened his eyes and grabbed my face with his hands. -! am here, but! dont now
how much ofîhis ! can take. Are you going to do this much longer?
-Maybe. Maybe | wil leave you like that. "Muhahat *
He lifted me like a feather and ran into the bedroorm, the walls became a blur and !
felt he mattress undemeath.
-I see that you don! take no for an answer.
-Nof real, no.
And with en evil smile he leaned on me, started to kiss my feet, mating me treeze
and bum at the same time. Reaching with his fingertips, he caressed my (highs,
under the dress. His lips were like a magnet, attracted to my skin, making me
insane. With one continous move the dress flew through îhe air, landing on the
ground slowiy.
-l think Iwil repeat myselt now. You are so beautiful. Pertect. Like | told you în the
sun earlier.
-You mean | wasntt dreaming at al? He could hear the surprise în my voice.
-No, not for a split second. | have been ioohing for you ali my ie, and now ! found
you. You dont know what effect you have over me. For (mo weeks | have been a
slave of your image. You haunted my days and nighis, your green eyes hipnotized
me and | couiintt do anything about it. Love you.
And he burried his face în my hair.
Could this be reality? Ami really here? ! embraced his body and pressed him on
me.
- want you. Just ke you are.
+ + + After last night, when he declared his love to me, and after îhe fire that
consumed both of us... | felt happy. Complete. Lying în bed, next to him, and
istening to his even breaths... paradise.
With my eyes closed, ! turned în bed and found his hand. Which ! made captive
under my body, making him moan softy.
-Do you enjoy my torture? It can be dangerous, you Hnow.
-Realy? ! think 1 wil take my chances. And ! pressed my weight on his hand,
feeling his fingers cupping my breast.
-This îs pleasant, he murmured. Brings back memories.
And he kisses my shouider, slowly, making me mett right there and then. Exquisite.
open my eyes and see the clock: 11 am!
-Shit | am so late! And get up fast, running în the bathroom.
-Late where?
-I have an appointment, at 11: 30.
-May | ask with whom?
And ! froze. How do |teli him | am supposed to meet with my husband? Of course,
's not a pleasant meeting, we are discussing îhe terms of the divorce. Since ! met
Edward, | made the final decision: ! wanted a divorce. There was no point în
continuing this mariage that was doomed either way. So today was the second
meeting with our lawyers, to find a way to end this nice and smooth.
-Ummm... can we talk about this later? | am really gonna be late.
Siience. Finishing_my shower, ! step out, walk înto the bedroom to find an empty
bed. Where is he? -Edward? Are you here? Silence. He left ! screwed up. Big
time. 'NICE ONE, CATHERINE! *-FUCK!
Wei, this being said, | get dressed and jump în my car as fast as | can. Luckily, the
office. where | have to get to is close. ! got there just în time, my lawyer just arrived,
and Bobi's snt here yel.
-Good morning, lim sorry | am late, the traffic was awful, | ied.
-Good morming Catherine.
My husband'3 upset, his face has the expression of a puppy begging for his bone.
"rm sorry, Bob, îhis has to be done. *
The door opens and his lawyer comes în.
-Good morning, let's begin our discussion.
-So, until now, we have set that the divorce îs imminent, and the parts arent
looking for reconcitation. Considering that, our offer is that Mrs. Catherine Mosk
would pay Mr. Bob Mosk the sum of 100, 000 dollars, representing the moral
damage my ciient has suffered.
1 WAS STUNNED! What?! 100, 000 dollars?! For asting him to let me go, to end
nis torment that is called marriage?!
-Bob, are you okay? What sort of damage have 1 caused you?
-Wel, Catherine, you see... his layer started to explain. Shut up! I'm talting to
my future ex-husband! What have | done to you?!
-Catherine, he started, you know ! love you, but the fact that you cheated on me
before the divorce... that's not right.
-What?! ! cheated? What about the hundreds of whores that went through MY
bed?! The ones you brought în MY home, în MY sheets, and slept with them with
no shame?! What about those?
He biinked, swprised. He didnt expect that. Didnt thought for a second that |
knew. And my outgoing rage scared him.
-in that case, Mr Mosk, you have no right to ask that payment. No ground for that
accusation.
And 1eft. | couiintt bare to sit în the same room with that despicable man. Starting
ine engine woke me from my state of mind, and brought me back to Earth. | need
o tind Edward. | made a huge mistare.
His cell is ringing, but no answer. Again, dial, ring, no answer. "C'mon man! *
Repeat.
-Hetlo? His voice hit me like a block of ice. He was distant.
-Hey, love! tried to sound cheertuli. So... what are we doing today?
-fm busy, unfortunately. (m having a few friends over, nothing fancy, just a drink
or two. fim sorry. Maybe another time would be great. Next week?
1 couldnt breathe. My mind blocked itselt. Ii seemed lie an eternity until he
înished talking, and now ! had to answer. -Sure, no problem. | hope youtre having
a good time. Goodbye!
So this is how îts gonna be.
