Bittersweet Love

by Davids, Jesse

  Daniel and Athena followed right after going up to the 6th floor, room 69. The bell boy opened the door and carried their bags to the room. They walked into the living room and saw a long c-shaped sofa in a sunken lounge with a round coffee table in the middle. Daniel looked at Athena, knowing what she's thinking about the moment they stepped in the room. Athena looked over her shoulder and found a middle sized kitchen fitted with all the appliances needed to feel homey.

  The bell boy came out and handed Daniel their room key. “Thank you.” He gave him 5 dollars from his wallet as a tip.

  “Thank you Sir.” The bell boy left the room and took his trolley with. Daniel walked into the bedroom and heard Athena jumping wildly on the bed. “Baby, come join me.” Athena talked with a breath after another, Daniel kicked off his shoes and jumped with her. Athena stepped on his foot making him lose balance and fell on the bed, almost hitting his head against the bed side table. Athena jumped on him and rolled over next to him. “People are going to think we just had sex, a quickie in fact.” Athena burst out laughing at Daniel’s reaction. “Oh wait I have a surprise, again.”

  Daniel rushed over to his laptop bag and got out 2 king-size joints the size of his middle finger; he hid them at the bottom of the bag. “If I told you, you would’ve been paranoid, so I didn’t.” He said. Athena shocked, as she never thought Daniel had the balls to do something like that.

  “So, I was thinking since its late already, why don’t we just chill out, smoke some weed, listen to some music and see where it takes us from there.” Daniel spoke while walking back, and laid next to Athena handing her one of the joints. “Anything is perfect baby, as long as you're here.” Athena smiled; getting up and opening the window that leads to the balcony.

  “We can even sit in the balcony, there’s already 2 chairs in there, and enjoy the view while we’re at it you know.” Daniel got up and held her around the waist. “I love the way you think baby.” Daniel reached down and kissed her on the lips; Athena dripping wet standing, she slowly closed her legs tightly for the ache to ease a little.

  “I’ll get the laptop.” Daniel winked at her as he walked to his bag. Athena pulled her chair forward, so that she could see the people walking underneath, the hard workers who only get paid a tiny salary for doing more than a CEO could ever do with his own bare hands.

  Daniel sat beside her as he lit the joint. “This one won’t make you cough, because the quality is good.” He handed it over to her while he exhaled. “Al right I trust you.” Athena took a big puff and noticed Daniel from the corner of her eye coughing his lungs out. Athena began to cough uncontrollably too. After a few puffs have been inhaled the coughing thankfully went away.

  The street lights became brighter all of a sudden. Their vision turned more into a fish eye lens than high definition. Discussions about various topics like sex, weed, Italy, became slower and slower to comprehend in their mind. Athena took the laptop and used the hotel Wi-Fi to search up a song on YouTube that she hasn't heard in a long time. You & Me – Disclosure

  Athena stood up and started dancing like a maniac. Daniel watched her closely making sure not to lose focus.

  Athena grabbed Daniel’s hand and made him stand next to her. “Dance with me baby.” She spoke while moving her body side to side to the music. Daniel slowly started to fall into sequence with the beat, listening to the words made him nervous to his neck. Athena had no worries; freely she moved and started to grind on him.

  Daniel, high, couldn't stop staring, always captivated by what, or how she does things. His heart beat increased rapidly; slowly stopped to dance, as his lust for her took over him completely. Athena looked at him and moved closer to where he was standing. Daniel without saying a word kissed her hard, moving with the sound surrounding them. “Do you want to go shower with me?” He asked her in a subtle yet husky tone. Athena stopped moving and stared into his eyes. “Yes, I would love that.” She replied kissing him strongly, full of passion; leading them back into their bedroom, walking while undressing each other without thinking.

  Naked bodies, cold air, and goose bumps established more frequent on Athena’s body than her own leg hair. Just by his touch she could tremble in anticipation. Daniel took her hand, as she followed him into the bathroom; he reached in and turned the nob for the hot water to come out. The shower head was built into the ceiling, making it seem as if it is raining while you shower. Both of them standing close to each other, skin to skin; Studying the perfection standing before him, Daniel raised her arms above her head, moving his hands down her curved body.

  Daniel took the liquid soap, squirting it all over her breasts. Squeezing them softly, massaging her without losing contact with her eyes. He grabbed the loofa washing her body from shoulders down all the way to her feet. “Let me wash your back.” Athena baffled by emotions, heart skipping every 2 beats. She turned around holding her hair above her head.

  Naked bodies with no space for even a piece of paper to fall in between; The loofa slipped from Daniel’s hand, Athena bent down to pick it up, in return her ass fully pushed up against his penis.

  Oh my goodness.

  Daniel looked down for a second, as his erection is right in between her ass cheeks. Rubbing against her vagina, Athena let out a small moan for she felt his hand rubbing her clit slowly with soap. She stood up straight fearing her legs became weaker by the second. “My turn.” Athena put soap on the loofa and washed his whole body, she grabbed his erection and started to stroke it with soap all over him.

  They couldn't stop looking at each other, their feelings over flowing. Stomachs being turned inside out like a freak show, but none of them could stop the feeling they get when they look at each other.

  Daniel let the rain rinse him off; he closed the tap, and lifted her up carrying her. Athena wrapped her legs around him, with no one saying a word Daniel took them to the bed. He bent down taking the covers off half way; he placed her down carefully, his hands feeling her breasts as he made his way down to her woman part. “Wait.” Athena stopped him. Daniel poked his head back up with a curious face. “Come lay down.”

  Athena ordered him, as he complied with no hesitation. Daniel laid down on his back, his brain stopped working as he saw one of her legs moving over his face, visibly showing her vagina to him. Athena laid on top of him, but the opposite way. Daniel gasped as he felt Athena’s mouth deep throating him. He couldn't comprehend the feeling as the 69 position was all new to him, he proceed to grab her ass, and began to lick her without leaving a spot unturned, as the covers slowly covered them whole.

  Athena woke up in a cold sweat, shivering from confusion. She got up and went to sit inside the living room, silently trying not to wake up Daniel. Cold air filled the room with her presence, waiting for her brain to process the dream she just had. With only panties on Athena covered her breasts with her arms tightly.

  Soon after, she felt warm hands holding her from behind. “Baby, you okay?” Daniel whispered into her ear. “Yeah, I'm fine baby, just had to be alone for a little while.” She looked up to him and kissed his cheek. “Do you want to talk about it? You know I’m always here if you need to talk.” Daniel reassured her, he walked over to the bed and took the small duvet and covered her. “I know honey, I’m just a little lost right now, that’s all.” Athena spoke in a soft tone, trying to make sense of it all. “Come baby, let’s go back to sleep. We’ll talk about it in the morning okay?” Daniel picked her up, cradling her like a newborn child and walked back to bed.

  Chapter 9

  Thunder rolled throughout the streets of Washington, heavy rain fall has been forecasted for the next few days.

  “Allison! Are you ready? We have to go! Unless you want to be late for your flight! Which I would gladly be happy about if that ought to happen.” Naomi yelled from downstairs, she refused to let her house become a silent shell under her command. “Yes, I’m coming!” Allison rushed down stairs with a big bag full of clothes, and personal things that she decided t
o take along.

  Naomi opened her umbrella, as the rain came down from the heavens, like little soft bullets. She rushed to the trunk of the car and opened it quickly, throwing her bag in without caring. Allison bent down on her knees and gave Banjo a big kiss on his head. “I’m going to miss you the most.”

  Allison hugged him, as his tail wiggled uncontrollably, for he didn't know better. “Stay.” She pointed at Banjo with straight eyes. Banjo laid down peacefully, making his masters happy whenever he could. Allison locked the door behind her and ran to the passenger’s side. “You didn't forget anything did you?” Naomi, nervous, trying to make sure her only child would make it safely to New York without any fuss. “Yes, mom I’m not 5 anymore.” Allison reached over and hugged her mother tightly. “Al right, good now let’s go before you miss your flight.”

  Naomi changed the gear to reverse, slowly driving out of the drive way. “Oh look, there’s the boy you keep eyeing.” Naomi started to laugh as she drove past his house. “Well, he isn't single so I bet you are over the moon because of that.” Allison gave a dull smile and waved him off. “Why wouldn't I be happy? He looks like a fucking steroid user, and that type of men cannot control their anger.”

  Naomi filled with joy, hoping she would find someone with actual brains her age in university. After driving at a medium pace, making sure there isn’t any black ice growing on the road, they finally arrived at the airport. Naomi parked and got out with Allison, they met at the trunk of the car, it felt to Naomi that it would be the last time she sees her face, but she believed in what her gut was telling her.

  Naomi didn't hesitate for a second to give Allison a huge hug, making sure Allison gets that she is her mother, and no one else. “I love you mom, and please don't worry I’ll be fine I promise.” Allison reassured her before seeing tears running down Naomi’s face. “I love you too, and when you're done please come home, I’m not sure if I would be able to live by myself.” Naomi’s eyes watered, more than the rain falling; it had a genuine meaning, a valid reason. Naomi fixed herself up and hugged Allison again.

  “Don’t waste your time going to parties and all that shit okay, you know better, now go.” Allison nodded at her mother not saying anything, for she didn't want to lie to her about the parties she would want to attend.

  Allison landed in New York at 7AM; she took the first cab out to Times Square which is close to the Administration building.

  “Hey, I’m here for my dorm key.” Allison stood in front of an old lady, smoking a cigarette, wasting her life watching soap operas, and eating Twinkie's. “Okay.” The old lady replies while putting her hand in a box full of keys and gave her the first one she could find. “Thank you.” Allison replied.

  That was pretty easy.

  Allison quickly tried to get out of her sight as she rushed to the dorm building to settle in before the term began.

  Will woke up from a loud door banging, and people screaming. He got up, put on his robe and ran into the kitchen to grab the broom they haven't touch for months. After 2 minutes of waiting for another sound, it went quiet; Will poked his head out the door to see what it was. “What happened?” Will whispered to Allison while holding the broom in his left hand, he noticed she was looking at it, so he slowly put it to lean against the wall of the corridor. “Umm, nothing just saw something I didn't want to see.” Allison stepped forward towards him. “Are you new? Because I haven't seen you around here.” Will tried to keep the conversation going, as he found her very attractive.

  “Yeah, I just came from Washington and it’s my first day too.” Allison kept smiling as someone finally seemed to be of interest to her. “Oh, that’s great, my name is Will Baker and I guess I’ll be your neighbor, neighbor.” Will gave a slight chuckle as he gestured for a hand shake.

  “Nice to meet you Will Baker, I’m Allison Forest, and yeah you will be my neighbor, neighbor.” Allison winked and giggled as she got the joke Will was trying to expel from his lungs.

  Someone who gets my jokes! Holy fuck and she's fine too. Will pondered into the depths of his brain, trying to make out whether or not this could be a set up by Melissa.

  Nah! “Umm, so why aren't you moving in exactly?” Will leaned against the wall next to the broom. “Well, I just witnessed my soon to be roommate having sex, I just hope it’s not on my bed.” Allison felt embarrassed, but Will could read her facial expressions. She just needed to sit down for a couple of minutes after rushing, getting ready, and stressing; she felt tired most of all.

  “You are more than welcome to wait it out in my room if you want, my roommate isn't here, he’s in Italy so yeah, but that’s if you want to of course. It’s totally up to you.” Will rambled nervously, hoping deep down she would agree before any other douchebag comes around and takes his soon to be girlfriend, hopefully. “Sure, that would be very helpful.” Allison reached for her bag but got stop by Will’s hand. “I got it.”

  Will took her bag and the broom with him as she followed behind closely in the room. “I’m sorry if it’s messy, but you can sit wherever you like.” Will shyly apologized for the mess he has made. “It’s actually very clean to what I've just seen.” Allison laughed; Will zoned out and couldn't believe Daniel was right.

  Will got a flashback as Daniel’s voice filled his head.

  “You know you've found the one if her laugh gives you butterflies.” Daniel told him in the car while shopping for Athena’s gift.

  “Are you al right?” Allison stood there looking like a statue, waiting for Will to fall out of his zoning out moment. She gave him a slight punch, Will knocked out of it, automatically positioning his body in a karate stance. “Wow!” Allison held her hands up as fast as she could, as if raising a white flag. Will started to laugh hard, not keeping anything inside. “I’m just fucking with you; you should've seen your face.” Allison and Will laughed for a while about it.

  “Hey, you don't mind me using your toilet right.” Allison squeezing her legs together as she really needed to pee. “Sure, let me just take out my friend’s painting.” Will quickly jogged up to the door reaching in behind it for the painting. “Your room mate painted that?” Allison surprised by how good the painting looks. “Yeah, he's good at everything honestly, and I've known him for 11, almost 12 years now, and even in that time I never knew he could paint this good.”

  Will and Allison look at the painting, trying to figure out what it actually is for it wasn't done yet. “Go pee!” Will pushed her slightly into the toilet. “Do you want some juice?” Will yelled while opening the fridge. “Yes, please, you don't need to yell I can hear you!” Will reminded Allison of her mother, being at home, always hating silence.

  Allison came out of the toilet clenching her butthole, as she had a surprise shit waiting for her the whole time. “Is everything okay?” Will stared at her as she had a distraught expression on her face. “Yeah, I'm fine.” Allison giggled it off. “Here you go.” Will handed her the juice, and dropped his glass on the counter and ran to his ringing phone. “It’s my professor; you don't mind me taking this right?” Will asked her politely, not wanting to leave her by herself. “Yes, of course, you don't need to ask.” Allison waved him off while drinking her orange juice mixed with vodka.

  “Hello?” Will answered suspiciously as he thought he did something wrong. “Hi Will, I just wanted to say congratulations, you have the highest grade in the whole class.” His professor boasted about him to his colleagues, keeping him on a short leash to be a good student.

  “Thank you so much Sir, I had no idea that would ever happen.” Will, surprised at how he got the high marks while being half high. “Yes, so I arranged the music hall to be empty, I thought it would be good for you to start practicing.” “No way, that’s incredible! Thank you so much Sir, it means a lot.”

  “Just have fun al right, and enjoy it, I haven't done that for any of my students before.” “Thank you Sir, I can’t thank you enough.” “Thank your friend, he's the one that persuaded me into do
ing it, bye Will.” “Bye Sir.”

  Did that just happen?

  Will sat down on the bed, shocked out of his mind. “Is everything okay?”

  It was Allison’s turn to ask him that, she got up and sat across of him on Daniel’s bed. “Yeah, everything is perfect.” Will nodded his head and smiled. “How about we go check if that couple are done fucking?” Will stood up chuckling as he took her glass and set it silently in the kitchen sink.

  Will opened the door for her to walk out first as he took a view of her behind.

  Wow, that looks amazing.
