“Are you listening to me?”
Crap!
I was too busy thinking about Eric that I even forgot that I was still on the phone to Harper.
“Sorry, I need to get ready, and the bar sounds as if it’s lively as always.”
“Valentina…”
I know exactly what she’s going to say next, but I don’t want to hear it.
“Tony’s asking about you. Should I tell him that you say hi?”
“No, I said after that night with Eric. He gives me the creeps. Don’t say anything. Please?”
She starts to tut which means that she’s thinking about it. But, I can’t deal with that, not when I have a party to get ready for.
“Harper?”
“Yeah. Yeah. I get the message. I’ll tell him that you say hi. Bye.”
Then she hangs up. I’m just about to ring her back when there’s a knock at the door. Shoot! Is that the time already. I haven’t even showered or changed. Florence took me shopping last week, and she went all crazy as she picked up clothes that I see on the shop front and can never afford to buy. It was nice to be spoiled, and I’ve got a nice collection going on for the first time in my life from dresses, skirts, pants, and jeans. It was as if she was enjoying the shopping trip just as much as I was and it made me feel less guilty.
“Coming!”
I shout out as I jump over the bed and then head towards the door. I drop my phone on the bed, and I’m annoyed by the person on the other side.
Eric’s wearing black pants and a matching shirt just drove me wild. His strong musk has sexy written all over it has my panties doing somersaults. There’s no denying that I’m attracted to Eric, and my school girl crush isn’t a thing from the past.
He comes closer to me, “Valentina.”
Shoot!
It has been over a week since we’ve been here, and he hasn’t said a word to me. Just like that he comes close and our lips are so close. They’re not touching, but enough that I can smell the beer that he must have been drinking before he ended up at my door.
My breasts turn tender and start to crave his touch. My nipples feel hard as they start to remember the slickness of his tongue. He didn’t say anything as he drew close to me. I didn’t back up as I held on to the door. Not for protection, but just for balance. Our lips are so close. They weren’t touching, but I could smell his breath.
It wasn’t the best smell in the world. A mix of beer and cigarettes, but I was so damn attracted to him that I still wanted to stick my tongue down his throat.
My breasts were tender, craving his touch. My nipples were hard, pressed against his chest, and desperate for his tongue as they rub against his shirt. He’s waiting for me to make a move or something, but then I come to my senses and ask him, “What are you doing here?”
I blink furiously wondering if we’re on screen or if this is happening?
I’m not going to fall for the charms of Eric Turner in a flash. This time he can’t tell me that we’re going to fuck and I follow him like a puppy dog.
Once bitten, twice shy.
I’ve learned my lesson once, I don’t need to sit in class to know better this time. I know what he’s really like and I don’t like it.
Chapter Seventeen
Eric
I smile thinking that my charm will work on her, but as she crosses her arms. I know that I’ve crossed a line. One that can’t be broken by simply being charming. I need to do some groveling or maybe a little more than that.
“Kevin said that you were going to the party and I said that I'd pick you up,” her sea-blue eyes are avoiding mine as she’s backing into the room and I turn to firmly shut the door. There’s no escaping me, even if she does try.
“Oh, so now you want to talk to me? Eric really, I’m not in the mood for games. I have a headache.”
