Chapter 16

 

He steps inside the door and I can smell a girl's perfume mixed with her cologne.

 

“Go away” she looked at him hurt “you had to come and ask me for things smelling like someone else

 

So I walk away from her and search in my bag for the card that she gave me along with the keys to the apartment.

 

"I don't want you to go back to

 

I turn around and find him on top of me leaving no room to escape.

 

"I didn't come looking for anything other than you Vannesa" he growls at me "tell me why the fuck you don't answer the damn phone

 

“I didn't feel like it!” he yelled at him “besides you seemed too busy to call me true” he pointed to his clothes “perfume bets so don't tell me shit you can go to hell

 

"What did I say about the tantrums Vannesa" she interrupts me "I don't know what you're talking about and I smell perfume because I've spent the damn night looking for you

 

He raised an eyebrow in disbelief.

"Really?" I laugh "I got here after two in the morning Samuel" pushed him to try to put space between the two "you told me he was with another and that you were going to sleep outside I'm not your damn pet! No I'm going to wait for you at home naked and willing while you wallow with another

 

“I don't roll around with anyone Vanessa!” she says grabbing me by the waist “if you weren't so impulsive I could explain who she is

 

He hit his chest trying to let me go

 

“I don't need to know about your little friends” she looked at him angrily “I'm not going to be your sugar baby anymore, you can go with her if she”hits”you the”hit”damn she wins!

 

He grabs my hand that I've been pounding against his chest and forces me to look at him.

 

"You don't know what you're talking about and you're stressing me out," he growls, "stop it now or you'll be sorry."

 

I roll my eyes and tried to let go without success

 

"Fuck off and shove your scolding up your ass Samuel," I gasp, "I don't care about you, your rules, or your stupid consequences."

 

He looks at me for a minute and then picks me up from the floor, puts me on his shoulder and even if I kick I can't let go

 

“you need to cool off Vannesa

 

He tells me as I watch him open the doors with me on his shoulder, he puts me down when we're in the master bathroom and I can't help but scream as the cold water hits my head

 

“But what are you doing idiot!

 

He screeched as he pinned me against the shower wall.

 

“Trying to get you to shut up so I can whisper,” he says leaning in so close his breath hits my cheek, “will you let me explain? or you are going to continue behaving like a capricious girl.

 

I try to say something but having him so close doesn't help, he cups my chin with his fingers and sighs.

 

“Last night I went to dinner with Clara” she doesn't look away from my eyes “she's my sister's best friend and my fucking sister-in-law, my sister got divorced two weeks ago so they decided to go for a walk

 

I look at him with frowning sleep and he brings his hands to my butt to put his face level with mine lifting me from the ground, instinctively I surround his neck with my hands and he continued talking while the drops of water slide down his face

“My brother called me when I was about to go see you” he leans a little closer to my lips “he's in Toronto so he can't do anything and my sister isn't exactly a sensible woman, I went with them to eat and we ended up at the reserved for a nightclub”I bite my lip and he looks at that gesture”the very stupid ones got whiskey mops and I had to take them home, I came back after three and you were simply not there, the doorman told me that he saw you leave but he didn't know your whereabouts so I spent the bloody night trying to track you down, do you understand?

 

"I thought that...

 

He sighs against my lips

 

“Why should Vannesa cheat on you” she tells me “I love you, you are refreshing for my lifestyle even if you throw me a tantrum every second” she smiles caressing my nose with hers “if you were someone else you would be with your bags now waiting at the door out of my house

 

My heart leaps at that statement and I run my fingers through his wet hair.

 

"Samuel I" look elsewhere "I'm sorry but I like you and I thought you were leaving me for someone else, I don't think I could be your Sugar this is not for me

 

“You're doing great Vanny” he whispers kissing me “you're damn good at this and the rest I can show you.

 

“For how long?” I sigh and he. Stop kissing my neck" I don't think I can just leave you

 

“I don't want you to let me go” he replies “actually I think I'm going to keep you for a long time

 

"That's what I mean Samuel" I tell him "you'll only be with me until you get bored, you can't promise me anything

 

“Vanny, weddings and a happy family is not my thing” his eyes search mine “I can only give you today and now but nothing more

 

My heart aches at those words but his sincerity is appreciated, he has put everything on the table and it is my decision to take or leave things.

 

I like him, I like him too much and the truth is I think I will regret it more if I stopped trying than just seeing where all this takes me

 

"Are you still there babe?

 

He asks and I run my hands up to his wet shirt.

 

"I'm going to accept what you give me Samuel but just don't leave me alone again and without a logical explanation

 

He slides one of the mandos he has on my butt to the hem of my towel and unties it, sending it away from my body.
