«When she wants to she can be very bitchy» says what should be the love of my life.
«Hey, I'm still here protest. Neither seems to affect this detail. Look at each other without speaking. Come on, somebody get the word. But because they're silent? It's embarrassing. They think to look for eternity? Fine, since neither speaks, it will mean that I will.
«Love, Lucas thinks it's you that you never wanted to know. Says I wrote letters and that you never answered» I say I'm looking first one and then the other. I try to decipher his gaze but nothing. Looks like a piece of marble.
«I never received any letters, I thought you didn't want to know me» Erik defends. Keep it up. I just had to give them a boost. Now maybe it's better to leave them alone.
«Guys while you speak a little bit I'm going to prepare dinner. I don't know about you, but I am very hungry »I say going to the kitchen.
«Elisa, I and me after we speak» thunders his voice. He called me by name, he does so only when it is very angry, I'm already sweating. I already know what's going to tell me that he does not like lies.
I'm locked in the kitchen for an hour, to be honest it didn't take so long to prepare dinner. I just wanted you to have time to talk. Surely will have many things to say and it didn't seem right to be present.
«Ready» notice. I did not dare to go that way, I am still thinking about how angry Erik. The two arrive with a smile on his face. This is a good sign, it means that you are accepted each other.
«Lucas told me that you did something just legal, is it?» asks with that cold look which I hate so much. Curse on Lucas and his tongue. There was no need to tell her?
«Desperate times, desperate measures» I try to put it on the funny side but he doesn't seem amused, indeed I'm like thunder.
«Let's settle after» growls. A full-blown threat, is not angry, more.
Throughout the evening Erik ignores me, like you don't exist. Erik has prepared the guest bedroom for Lucas, begging him to stay here, and he accepted with great pleasure.
«I wouldn't, it's getting late. See you tomorrow, guys.» Why I try to escape? Ah, Yes, I have a fucking fear of facing the wrath of Erik. I am not exaggerating, when you look at me that way I freezes the blood.
«You're not going anywhere,» says coming toward me. What good is delay? Let's get this tooth.
«Oh, oh, someone's in trouble» says Lucas leaving in the room. It's not funny. For him maybe yes but does not know well yet Erik.
After dragging my arm and brought her to her room, locks and turns around to look at me.
«You lied» Snarls near my face. OK, it looks like a dog with rabies.
«It was for a good cause» I try to explain myself.
« I don't give a shit about in law ».
«Excuse me if I wanted to let you know your brother» sour I contradict himself.
«I didn't ask to do shit with a wild drive on the ground screaming» everything there was on the dresser. I've never seen him so violent. Indeed, wait, yes I did.
«I'm sorry I lied to you. But he won't apologize for trying your brother. Excuse me if I wanted to see you happy, sorry if you have a family and you don't understand how important it is.»
Without realizing I'm screaming, too. I sit on the bed with her eyes down, I didn't think it would end this way. I just wanted to surprise him.
«Why don't you get it? I love you and I would do anything to see you happy» I say sobbing. The tears run down like a river in flood Exits the room, slamming the door hard. Why should react like that? He couldn't just appreciate the gesture? Support your head on the pillow and I'm starting to get a lot of questions and ask me what did I do wrong, I simply wanted to give him a family, I can't keep them.
Chapter 30
I wake up with a start hearing an arm around her waist. When I turn I see Erik sleeping. Last night I fell asleep by herself, crying, but now I find myself in bed with me.
It makes me happy to think that has stayed with me. Maybe no longer angry, or at least I hope so. I wake up trying to be quiet and on tiptoe I get out of the room. I want to make him breakfast, maybe you need to sweeten it.
When I get in the kitchen almost I get scared seeing Lucas with a cup of coffee in hand. I didn't know it was already awake, are the 6:00 am.
«Good morning, Princess. I thought you had come to a bad end» says chuckling.
«It's not funny, Lucas» I say as I approach. I take a cup of coffee and watch it wrong but he didn't seem to care.
«Last night, after you fought, we talked a lot. You'll see that it will pass.»
But look, the two brothers who know recently spoke about my love life. Amazing.
«I hope so» I answer with a sigh. «How Come awake so early?» I ask changing the subject.
«I have not slept a wink all night, I was thinking about Erik. You don't know how much it means to me to have a brother. Now that my mother died, I feel even more the need» admits with the blank stare.
«You know, Elisa, I don't really know how to thank you. If it wasn't for you, I never would have known. Thank you for everything.» Hugs me caught me by surprise. At first I stay still but then I melt and spare parts.
«What's going on here?» asks Erik sleepy breaking in the kitchen. The caveman's awake.
«I thank your girlfriend for what she's done» informs Lucas withdrawing arms. Did you hear that, Erik? Your brother thanked me, instead you yelled at me. Nice stuff. I did not dare to look at him, I don't like it when he's mad at me.
«Lucas, it was a pleasure to meet you, hope to see you again soon.» I don't know why but I feel too, I have to make a change. Step next to Erik look low and I head in the room.
I definitely feel better after a good shower, wrap my body in a towel and I move in the room. Just breaches the threshold, see Erik sitting on the bed looking at me. I pretend that there isn't and I take clothes that are placed right next to him. I grab my wrists as I approach him and rests his head on my belly. With her hands she hugs me hips and without realizing I caress her hair gently.
«I didn't mean to get angry with you» whispers. His voice is hoarse and his words seem to be those with the heart. I'm glad you apologized.
«Sorry, I did not want to lie to you. But it was the only way. »
I can't finish the phrase, that his lips are on mine. How much I had missed his kisses!
«I love you. » I will never be tired of hearing these words, ever.
I let the towel slip while remaining completely naked and willing.
«I want you». The words come out as a whisper but he felt perfectly. The counting fast in the grip of desire I have for him, for his body. I want to hear it, I love it, I want it to be the only light in my life, now and forever.
***
Two weeks have passed since Lucas has entered the lives of Erik and I must say that things are going great. The two feel all the time and there were already a few times.
The most amazing thing was when last night Erik told the brother that he might like to have it in his business as a financial advisor. At first Lucas seemed hesitant, he didn't play favorites. But Erik explained to him that he would have treated as all other employees.
The idea that he is part of his life made him very happy and it was just what I was hoping for. If all goes well, in a month's time Lucas will relocate here in New York. For the moment will live with Erik, until he finds an apartment of his own. Erik told him he could also live with him all the time, that there were no problems. But Lucas prefers to live alone and I agree with that. Erik has not seen since he was messy and soon realize. I'm sure there will be a laugh.
Tomorrow I'll have to go back to Washington and I'm not crazy about the idea. I'm going to propose to Mr. Grant the possibility that I work remotely, so go see him only once a month. Hopefully good. Now that I think about it, in a few days is also the birthday of Erik. Hates birthday parties but this time doesn't run, I'm going to do something in a big way. I will ask the help of Lucas and all friends of Erik, I
will leave him speechless. He always made time for me, I want to reciprocate.
Chapter 31
I just came to the offices of the Grent Company. It will be two very challenging days, but especially two days without my love.
Wednesday night we organized the surprise party for Erik, we will do it at Jason's house, so Erik will not suspect anything, Jason will call him with an excuse and we'll find all of them there, I think I'll have to invent a little lie again because last night, I'll have to go to Jason to make preparations, but this time I do not think he'll take it, because it's for a good reason.
After spending all of the paperwork in the morning, I decided to go to a coffee shop, I have not met Mr. Grent yet, I should talk to him as I sip my coffee, I decided to send a message to Erik telling him that I was missing. It was a hellish day, not adding anything else.
I don’t know how he always handles everything to perfection, never losing control of anything, I'm not even able to control my alarm, let's just do whatever he does.
While everyone was pausing, oddly, the office phone rang, Mr. Grent asking me to go to his office, I asked what he wanted from me.
He asked me if I had lunch, but I told him that I was not very hungry, so he gave me two food containers and asked if I was happy to have lunch with him asking me if we could call by name, all this was very strange.
I nodded slightly crossing his amber eyes, then looked at what was in the container.
There was meat, it's not one of my favorite foods, but I'll eat it, he had a nice thought.
He began to ask me various questions by looking at me in a way I did not like at all. He wondered how I was in his company, who would have liked to know me, and if I had a boyfriend. This question spared me, why should he ever care about it? I answered yes, and he did not seem very happy, and I don’t understand why.
He told me that my boyfriend was very lucky and if he had met me before, he would have made me the happiest woman in the world. Very angry, I asked him what he was playing, and reproachfully replied that he wanted to play any game, put a hand on my thigh, and stroked it gently. Instinctively, I gave him a slap, I even wondered, and I shouted not to touch me.
He looked at me incredulously in a hysterical laugh and said he knew I was one that was worth it and that Mr. Truston always did the best. He knew Erik and I did not know anything, and even Erik knew him, so he was terrified of the idea that I came to work here.
So he revealed to me a secret, Erik and he, had been friends for many years, until Erik had taken away the only thing most important in the world. I did not understand why Erik had not spoken to me.
Then he continued saying that it was a shame not to win the auction, because we would have had a great evening. That is, he was the other bidder of the auction, so his voice was not unknown to me, so my job was not a coincidence. He started to be violent, I tried to react by running to the door, but he grabbed my arm by blocking me. I was scared, I didn’t know how to get out of this situation. With a bad tone he shouted that didn’t want to hurt me, but only wanted me to satisfy his desires, he looked crazy, but fortunately I managed to get rid of it and ran away.
I was upset, I needed to talk to Erik, tried to call him but he did not answer me.
I got out of my office and found that crazy impatient to wait for me, pointing my finger at him, telling him that I would never have wanted to see him but he blocked me back to the wall and in a malicious voice asked me to say hello to Erik and tell him now He also had what he was, kissing me.
I pushed him with all my strength and ran away until I got in the elevator and started crying, he kissed me without I wanted to. I needed Erik, but he did not answer me.
Chapter 32
Finally, as I went in the car, my cell rang.
«Sorry, my little, I'm a little busy. Did you need me?»
«Yes, I need you,» I said, sobbing. I can’t talk.
«What's going on, are you ok?» He said.
«He said to meet you, then ...»I can’t talk, I'm in the panic.
«He what, Elisa», he shouted.
«I can’t drive, I can’t do it, please, come here,» I begged him sobbing.
He ordered me to take a taxi and wait at the airport, he would arrive as soon as possible.
I hope he comes soon, I'm afraid I shouldn’t come here; I didn’t imagine that would be over.
I left the car at the parking and went to the first taxi I found.
On the way, I only think Stefan's words and that damned kiss, and even if it was not my fault, I'm sick anyway.
I wonder why Erik didn’t tell me to know Stefan, I want he give me some explanations.
Suddenly, I heard my name, Erik was meeting me.
I embraced him by tightening it strong, I felt its sweet scent, I missed so much!
«You're shaking,» he said.
«He told me to meet you, then he said nonsense words», I said sobbing.
Erik pulled himself out of my arms, gazing at me.
«Now, be quiet and tell me what happened,» and he sat next to me.
«He said you were friends and that you took him the thing he was holding, I never expected that he could do me like that.»
«Why, what did he do?» He asked seriously.
«He told me to send you his greetings, and that now he also has what is yours. He was the other bidder that night and it is no accident I came to work here, he manipulated everything.»
I was going away but he stopped and put his lanky mouth on mine, kissing me.
Erik's expression was indecipherable, he didn’t react and speak.
I didn’t know how to behave, I should say something but I can’t.
He got up, took my hand and brought me to his jet, ordering me to get up, he looked very angry.
I told him I had done nothing wrong, but he replied that this was why he did not agree that I came here alone.
«You always do your own head,» he shouted gesticulating.
I wanted to know what had led him away, I needed explanations, but he replied that his past was not about me.
«Why don’t you ever tell me anything about your past?» I said, «I don’t know anything about you.»
«You know so much,» he replied.
«But there are some things I can’t tell, give me some time,» He whispered to my lips.
«I would like to know all about you, as you know everything about me,» I said.
«I promise, I'll talk to you,» he replied, then, finally, he gave me a kiss, as only he knows how to do it.
«He'll pay to have touched your lips, you are mine and no one else,» he whispered between a kiss and other.
After these words we were silent, I didn’t want to ruin this moment, but I hope that in the future he will tell me his past, I feel that something very important is hidden
I was very agitated, nervous and tired, I didn’t sleep for two days, Erik's party was ready, only missing his arrival.
The most absurd thing was that he has not spoken to me for two days since we returned to New York and had not seen them anymore, I do not understand why.
Finally Erik came, knocked on the door and all shouted,
«Surprised !!!.». From his expression, I would say that he did not expect it, everyone approached to give him his wishes, except me, I wanted to see if he was happy to see me, sometimes I do a lot of effort to understand his moods. As he was smiling to his friends, I was standing by and looking at him, he was always more beautiful, then I realized that his eyes were finally looking for mine, approached and gave me a passionate and aggressive kiss, a breathless kiss.
He wondered if all this was my work, I answered him despite being aware that he hated birthday parties. I asked him why he had ignored me for two days and answered that he had a question to answer, I told him I wanted to know what it was, but he went to his friends without answering, even without thanking me for the party.
Angry, I went to him grabbing him by the arm, dragged him into the kitchen,
and told him to talk, but nothing, he even answered me amused and this made me piss off even more.
So touching my bare shoulders gave me some shivers, telling me the truth at last.
He had gone to avenge his own, and continued with small kisses on his neck, whispered to me that he had gone to Stefan Grent, I only hope that he did not commit a murder and laughed at me and said that he had not committed a murder, but Grent would not take up very soon. Oh my god, my educated businessman turned into a thug, I hope I'm not going to make that effect.
Even though I was angry with him I gave him my gift that I had in my messy bag and after I've been browsing for a while I gave it to him. It was a white gold bracelet with written:
«Yours truly».
His eyes lit up with joy, and he gave me a passionate kiss. Our lips were as hot as the fire and I realized that the little things, the attentions I had for him, made him happy, even if the money did not lack, were these things he needed: my attentions and little gestures.
Chapter 33
I was really happy, Erik and I were together for three months, and it was all right.
Lucas had gone to live with Erik, working together and spending time, the more they join. They often go out on their own and at times they seem to be children about how they behave, after all, many men are eternal Peter Pan.
Yesterday, Erik, Lucas and Jason came together to celebrate the end of an important affair this morning will surely be in pieces, but since I feel very bother I wake them up at 7 am bringing coffee, I have to avenge since last week they have me He woke up throwing me a bucket of water on him.
As soon as I came to Erik's house I saw a gruesome scene, there seemed to be a war: bottles of beer scattered everywhere, pizza boxes and popcorn on the floor. They slept in strange positions so I took some photos, then went to get the water with so much ice and put a rock song all over. I turned on the radio at full volume, they jumped out of the scare and then I threw them over the iced water, my plan was perfectly successful.
