The Couple

Chapter 16: Be mine

Celia

I can’t stop thinking of what happened in the evening after I brought J back to the house. I keep tossing and turning in my bed. I tried counting sheeps or reading books, I sketched for some time but I can’t fall asleep.

I couldn’t help but think about the kiss I shared with Christian in his room. It was sudden but not a surprise, I couldn’t push him away when he put his lips on mine. I didn’t want him to stop but we both were out of breath when we pulled apart.

Till the time we were kissing each other passionately I didn’t feel the need to breathe.

I asked him about Jeanne, how insane brother he is, his sister was on fire and there he was kissing me. He told me she is fine and Greg can take care of her, before I can talk to him about Greg and J and their arrangement. He dragged me out of his room.

From where we stood I could see everyone else in the living room pacing around waiting for us nervously. I got my hand from his grip and moved forward leaving him behind. I don’t want anyone to know what happened when I am not clear of the situation myself.

I don’t know what we meant when he told me I am the only one. No, the person who avoided me for the whole week and just teased me one way or another. He can’t like me to have something with me for more than one night and one night won’t do any better when we are going to be around each other.

Plus I still want to figure out my own feelings and desires before this thing proceeds. I don’t want to make any mistake which might make me lose my best friend.

The way he asked me to forgive him for bringing up the topic of another girl made my heart flutter and when he said I am the only one made my heart skip a beat. The thought of him having other girls made me flinch.

I knew it beforehand but hearing it from him was driving me insane. I felt jealous, possessive for him having another girls before me. I wanted to warn him that if he had anyone else now on he might lose his balls. It took my all strength to stay put and not make an embarrassment of myself.

After 15 mins, Greg came out and informed us that J is good now, her temperature is down. He took their food in her room.

Mary told me she just got the heat after all the change in the weather here from New York and a busy week, she just needed to calm down. Greg had made her stand in the cold shower all naked which she suggested to him herself. And since she is okay after the shower no need to worry.

I also had my dinner and excused myself to my room. I deliberately avoided Christian since I needed my own time. Laying here in bed, I am having many thoughts like how I desperately want to get in his pants or be around him. I feel a strong pull to him and am already obsessed with him.

I just need to avoid him for tomorrow and then I will shift to my apartment and will rarely see him at home. And since Tyler will be handling all the matters with Dante Company about the project, I will not see him at work as well even when we are working together.

It sent a relief to my head and let me sleep with the thought that we might not see each other much after tomorrow but filled my heart with sorrow.

Next morning, I was on time to have breakfast with everyone else. It was good to have a family waiting at the dining table for you to have food together but I will not have all this after tomorrow. I told them I will be moving tomorrow.

“Don’t worry, you have my strong arms at your service.”, Ethan said excitedly.

“And I will help you pack and move as well.”, Mary agreed too.

“I will be there but won’t carry a box. Telling you beforehand.”, Jeanne replied innocently with her both hands in the air which made everyone laugh.
