¨This is really light and crisp.¨
I compliment the champagne. He nods in agreement, taking a seat on the chair his camera caught me masturbating on.
¨I have to be honest. I invited Priscilla after watching you and Simon glued at the hip at Carvel’s opening.¨
Fuck.
¨Oh.¨ I never really saw it that way but factoring in Simon’s texts since the event, he clearly was aware of this as well.
¨You two are quite the item.¨ He sips. His eyes hold so much intensity that it falls under mystery more than anything else.
¨You made me look like a fool.¨ He continues.
¨How?¨
¨Marching around with him, and not once did you come to me.¨
¨Alex, I honestly thought you’d prefer it to go that way. It isyournight. Not mine. If I were to travel around with you, hip to hip, without being your wife or contributing to the museum in any way…what’s the point? I’d look like a clingy trophy girlfriend who should back the fuck up and give you your night. Think about it? ¨
¨I see your point, but it was excessive. Not once did you meet my eye.¨
¨Oh, come on, Alex…this has been a role. Sorry if I wasn’t fawning over you the way I once did years ago, but it is triggering to try and find myself in that space again. Like when Priscilla popped up. It took me to the days you’d blatantly flirt right in front of me with so many women, making me feel like a dunce in a corner.¨
¨A dunce in a corner?¨ He laughs.
I shake my head, ¨Really? Think about it.¨
¨Maybe my feelings for you are stronger than they were then because I was praying for you to take a glance at me. Anything.¨ He shifts one foot over the other.
His words cling to me like a bad itch. I don’t want to trust his words because I’m genuinely scared to be hurt again. Even though we are roleplaying, right?
“It’s all tied to your ego.”
“Fuck my ego, Micola. I thought this experience would be great for us, which it was, but sleeping in a room beside you has made this very hard.”
“So I guess Priscilla declined your invite to your room.”
He drops his eyes from mine and shakes his head.
“She’s a beautiful woman. No one can deny that, but she’s notyou.No one holds your worth to me the way you do.”
I sip at this remark, refusing to believe any of it to protect my heart.
“Well, let’s hurry up and finish this bottle.” I grab the bottle from the table and top my drink with it.
“Slow down, Micola.”
“Oh, fuck off. Let’s get this over with.”
Chapter 16
Alexander
Ican’tallowMicolato ruin this final night. If it is my night, after all, she ought to remove her robe and fall into my arms. If it is my night, she needs to accept the lingering demand in my eyes and cave into me. I’m not sure what will follow after this experience, but I am not shy to admit that I’m all hers if she wants me. Done. Period. The end.
“It’s midnight.” She says, checking her phone.
“Okay.”
