As punctual as always, the doorbell in my hotel room rang at exactly seven in the evening. I opened the door and put on a big smile as I saw this man standing in front of me. Siegfried Cohen. My righteous longtime boyfriend for seven years is finally ready to get laid with me. I stared at his perfect physique. His natural blonde hair that compliments his perfectly tanned skin always makes me aroused.
He is wearing his tuxedo that carves every muscle he has. He is as composed as ever. He is the perfect example of a gentleman. Since he hasn't popped out the question yet, he is considered one of the hottest bachelors of their batch, and rumors speculate that he is the only virgin left in the accounting department of their prestigious company.
Damn right! He is one hell of a virgin. Thanks to his moral standards. My eyebrows frowned a bit at the thought of it.
My mood suddenly changed, "But tonight I am changing the history. I will be the first and last woman who will make this gentle accountant groan like a jackass," I swore to myself.
My lips smile wide as he approaches me. He examines me from head to foot. After that, he gives me a peck on my cheek. His eyes lowered on my big bosom and I saw him gulp before starting a conversation, "You look– ",
"–Stunningly gorgeous?" I interrupted him before he could finish his sentence while throwing myself at him, intentionally brushing my breast into his hard wide chest. His arms welcomed me hesitantly and his face looks stunned.
After realizing what I've done, he distanced himself a bit, "Woah love! You are so revved up tonight."
He unlinked my arms and fixed his dress. He touched my cheeks and smiled at me, "Come on, I have something for you."
Not wanting to ruin the night, I let his no-to-physical-touch-act pass and follow him quietly until we reach the elevator. As the door closes, dirty thoughts automatically play in my mind. Instantly, I saw sexual images of Sied and me making out in this elevator.
A feeling of excitement strikes my heart. My contemplation grows continuously.
Like the one I've seen from various American series and movies, this is the moment where the guy will suddenly jump at the girl and kiss her passionately. I tuck my hair behind my ear and expose my pale neck in front of him. I gulp as I imagine my ever-loving boyfriend doing this kind of thing to me. I can clearly see myself hesitant at first but then give up as I feel Sied's lips sucking my breast. Oh, what a fiery imagination I have!
Just thinking about it gives a tingling sensation all over my body. I smiled unconsciously causing him to question my actions, "You seem so happy and excited tonight, love!"
He said in a calm but questioning voice. Who wouldn't be? This night is the night!
I lean my back on the side of the elevator across from him. I arch my body a little bit causing my dress to expose my breast and my curve. He peeks a glimpse of my breast but removes it immediately. He isn't that immune to my charisma. Shall we test the water?
I will test the water!
I walk towards him sexily and sensually utter these words to his ears, "You know what babe, I think an elevator ride is good for our first love scene, don't you think?"
He instantly takes a step back as I reach for his lips, "Avery Anderson, watch your words..." he paused and continued, " –and your actions please!" he exclaimed as he pants heavily.
He always calls me by my full name whenever the situation is getting inconvenient for him. Oh, fuck! Hell right, I make him feel inconvenient! Me and my sexy actions! The vibe has now changed.
"That's Ava for you, Grandpa!", I snapped and moved away from him. Seeing how he reacts reminded me why he is still a virgin. No matter how many times I tempt him, he always blocks it. He always gets what he wants and I am always the loser. Why the hell couldn't he compromise the way I did? My lips twitched. I could see him looking at me but I don't give a damn anymore. The perfect night as I imagine it is finally ruined. I am trying to hold back the tears of rejection. I need to at least survive this night for the sake of our 7th anniversary.
***
I find myself sitting in front of this insensitive man. Trying to survive the night, I remained silent and avoided small talks. All I could hear from his mouth are corporate terms in which I am not interested at all. Blah! Blah! Blah!
My heart still hurts because I was rejected during an intense elevator ride. I focused on eating my food which he apparently ordered for me. The food is indeed exquisite but my taste buds want something different; different from this grassy, healthy vegan salad I am eating.
I raised my hands and a waiter attended to our table.
The waiter greeted me with a smile, "How may I help you?" he asked in Czech. Sied raised his head and momentarily stopped from eating. I sense some trouble and I think I will not like whatever will come out of his mouth. Despite his gentleman image, he can be an asshole sometimes. Allow me to correct myself, most of the time, especially in times like this, with poor people like this. I just closed my eyes and tighten my grip on the fork I'm holding.
"I believe it's obvious we are Americans. Maybe you could give us a little courtesy by speaking our language?" he complained to this poor waiter. His voice and his words resound to my ear. The waiter immediately apologized to him and switched his attention to me, "I am sorry Ma'am, what can I do for you?"
His voice is shaking with his not-so-perfect English accent. He did his best. Poor thing. I gave Sied a harsh look and sighed. I faced the waiter and said, "Mohl byste mi prosím dát nějaké maso a ne jen trochu koňského jídla? Také bych chtěl dvě sklenice červeného vína."
He put out his pen and took down my order. Then he offered something from their bestselling meat selection. As the waiter left us, Sied confronted me while he put his arms crossed in front of him, "Don't you like what I ordered for you? I chose it because it would be good for you? And what's that all about? You made me look like a fool in front of him."
He is very furious. Serves you right, Grandpa!
I rested my back on the chair. I rolled my eyes at him, "Then stop being an ass. You know how to speak Czech, so why don't you show him some courtesy," I burst out in anger. "And will you please speak their language since you are in the Czech Republic, genius?", I insulted him.
He shrugs his shoulder and shakes his head in disarray, "Why do we always have to argue about everything Avery?"
"Ava!" I butt in and continue with my sarcasm.
"Fine, Ava." He gives in.
Then open his mouth and continue with his nonsense talk,
"What about the food? And the wine? If you want some, you should have just told me, I should have just order for the two of us once we get back to our hotel room."
His tone is reaching its peak.
"Oh really? The last time I check I am on the fifth floor and you are on the seventh!", I said sarcastically. "Would you please explain to me why the hell are we staying in separate rooms even though we have been a couple for seven years?" my voice raised loud enough to catch the attention of the neighboring tables. My voice battles the clanking of utensils from the other side of the restaurant. I don't give a shit, though. My face remains stiff and my attention is only focused on this exasperating man sitting in front of me like an upright demi-god oozing with arrogance.
He remained silent and looked down clenching his fist. The tension between the two of us halted when the waiter arrived with two glasses of red wine. He noticed the unyielding vibes so he immediately withdrew his presence after he informed me that my order will arrive in 10 minutes. The silence took over, so does anger. The supposed special night became an enraged battle between the two sexes. Out of frustration, I straightly gulped the first glass of wine like a crazy woman yearning for alcohol. As I was about to reach for the second glass, Sied grabbed my hand intensely that seemed fairly like a warning.
"Will you slow down? What would people think if you drink like that?" he said with a strong remark in his voice. I don't understand why his gesture felt like he is more concerned of my our image, his image than my feelings and my whole being. It has always been like this. He is really starting to get under my skin. I aggressively removed his hand from mine and snatched the glass of wine, "It is just a wine for fuck's sake, Siegfried!"
I sulkily put down the wine glass on the table.
"Language!", his voice has gotten stronger and firmer.
"I don't fucking care what they think. And the only grumpy one here is you, Siegfried! When will you give me a decent meal where I can choose what I want to eat?" this guy hit the ceiling. The perfect night that I've been dreaming of has now shattered into pieces. My world has just crumbled thanks to this dimwit.
His face looked stunned. I know he has a lot to say but he chose to remain silent. Good decision Siegfried! Because if you open your mouth again, I promise you, this so-called anniversary will become a funeral for a dead love story of two broken hearts. Though I am trying my best to facade a strong woman, my chest is starting to pound.
I never cried in front of Sied or in front of anyone; and I don't have plans to break it, not now, not ever.
So I took my leave and before going out of the restaurant, I instructed the waiter to have the food delivered to my room. Right there and then, I left this fancy restaurant alone. I never look back in his direction. I never want to see what he looks like.
Right now, all I want is to go back to my room and cry.
I saw a lady sitting on a dark-colored high stool at the counter. A pair of brown hazel eyes scrutinize me from head to foot as my red heels touch the zigzag marble flooring that completes the French-themed aura of this fancy bar called French 75. She wears a big smile as our eyes meet. She flaunts her long legs by wearing a pair of black slacks. She stands up as I approach her. The golden big buckle of her belt emphasizes her outfit and compliments well with her bell-bottom slacks. She wears an old rose lace crop top allowing her to expose her sexy flat stomach. Her wool black coat that completes her FBI agent look is hanging at the stool next to her. A few more steps away from her, she sends me a skeptical look while leaning her weight on her right foot and crossing her arms in front of her big chest.“Kendra Higgins,” I uttered, amused by her sexy stance. I sent her a killer look,“Well, well, K. You look as fabulous as always.” She flips her black silky shoulder-level hair conf
With our chit-chatting, Kendra awakens from dreamland, still trying to sober up, “I can smell you, Nik. What are you doing here?” she said. That’s what she always says every time Nikolai is to pick her up. I pinch her cheek, “Wake up princess, your knight is here to snatch you away from me again!” She smiled at me while her face is still buried on the counter, “Why don’t you tell that little priest to come and get you!” she suggested, “Or else, I’m going to give you away…” she paused sobbing up, “to other beast fuckers who will feast in that perfect body of yours!”Nikolai laughed his ass out as I felt a little bit of embarrassment, “Yes, your honor, find me a prince immediately”. I shook my head left to right and let out a smile as I looked at her still tipsy. “Okay, chitchat is over ladies, I will now reclaim my princess and punish her for drinking too much. Again!”, with an emphasis at the end of his statement. He then dips his lips towards her forehead down to her lips then giv
It took time before I realize that the man inside my room is my boyfriend, Sied. My heart stopped momentarily. “Goodness, Sied! What were you thinking?” I exclaimed, still catching my breath. He walked towards me then wrapped his coat around me, “I am sorry I didn’t mean to startle you,” he kissed me on the forehead.“I wanted to surprise you but I fell asleep while waiting for you,” he smiled at me.Oh god! That beautiful smile melts me every time. Now I can feel how intoxicated I am, all I could see is his lips and this thought is asking me to devour it. Alright, I am feeling horny!“Well, congratulations! You did!” I said sarcastically. “I’m sorry, love. I intentionally responded to your message that way because I really wanted to surprise you. But I didn’t know it would take you long to get home,” he said while looking at me. “Where have you been?” he asked with curiosity in his voice. “I was out. I felt bad after receiving your message so I stayed out for some fresh air,” I e
I’ve been staring at the lights flashing from the tail light of this car in front of me for half an hour now. I am now stuck in this heavy stressful carmageddon under this stupid rain. I buried my head into the steering wheel, “Why now?” I exclaimed to myself while imagining Sied’s furious face and his parents’ mocking stare. I sighed as my mobile phone vibrated from the passenger’s seat. Now what? Do I have to listen to his scary voice, too? The car in front of me began to move so I wore my Bluetooth earpiece and answered the call with my breathy voice, “Hey! I’m sorry Sied, I was stuck in this stupi-”But before I could finish my sentence, “Hey, Ava. The dinner’s canceled. My parents have to go to a council meeting in Parish Church,” he said in a hurry as if he’s running the race. His voice is unstable. My heart leaped with the good news he shared, my smile widened and suddenly the heavy feeling was lifted. “Oh really?” I said trying to cover up the happiness in my voice. “That’s
Surprised and stunned by Kendra’s glaring prowess, I hurriedly folded my laptop and secured it with my left hand, stepped my chair backward, and forced a smile at her as if like a criminal caught in action. My sweat couldn’t escape Kendra’s scrutiny. I gulped and continued to stare at her without saying anything.Our staring duel continued. She broke it when she returned her stare at my laptop. My left hand automatically tightened my grip and Kendra took notice of it. She crossed her arms and then went back to me, “So? What have you been doing?” she said with her voice full of accusations.“You were so into it, you didn’t even notice I hardly knocked on your door!”Finally, my voice caught up, “Ah… I-I was doing-” I startled, finding the right words, looking back and forth at Kendra and my laptop, “-I was searching.”Disbelief is seen in her face, “Cut the crap! What is it?”“Really, I was searching for what I will feature next in my article!” I blurted out.Hmm, I guess that was a g
It’s a miracle Seid does not mention anything about my reckless driving resulting in my arrest. “In fact, he hasn’t even called me or sent me any message at all for the past three days. Can you imagine being in a relationship and not communicating at all?” I talk to myself while I insert a capsule into my coffee machine.I lean on the counter and look at the window across from me. It is one sunny afternoon and I am here at my office alone catching up on all the requests and demands of our clients. It always feels busy here but I like spending my time here rather than working at my company’s office,“If only I could quit my job and just focus here, I would without hesitation”, the thought brushes my mind. The sound of the coffee machine interrupts me from my daydreaming. I get my coffee and start working on my business projects.I sit down in my receiving area and stare at all the folders, notes, and files scattered in front of me, “Let’s see which one we should do first,” I say. I rea
Right then and there, our bonding time ends. Now, I have to face this man’s wrath. Seid begins to walk towards me as Art makes his way out of the room. They both stop momentarily in front of the coffee table. The situation gets even more awkward.“Damn it, Seid!” I think.With a weak but stern voice, “The second you’re back Arthur, look where I found you. You must have missed my girlfriend very much,” I can see Art’s facial expression change.“Damn it, Seid! What the fuck are you implying? Art’s my best friend!” I explode and stand up from where I am sitting.But Art gestures me to stay put so I calm myself up, “It’s not nice to see you, too Seigfried, or should I say, our highness, Cohen?” he sarcastically responds while facing my boyfriend. “Look, I know that you are gay, but I still don’t like you touching my girlfriend or being around her especially alone!” his remarks are already out of line.“Seigfried!” I shout with a shaky voice. Once again, Art looks at me and sends the sign
"All passengers for flight 69B bound for Vienna International Airport may now proceed to the boarding area at Gate 5A. Please have your boarding pass and identification ready. Any passenger in need of special assistance may proceed to Gate 5B."I hug K tight, not wanting to let go. Nikolai smiles at me while letting us have our moment. I sigh and am having doubts about whether to board or not. I must have gone crazy when I bought this ticket last night. I massage my furrowed forehead."What are you waiting for, A? You should go," Kendra pushes me away. I look at her with pleading eyes waiting for her to stop me from all this craziness. But instead of doing that, she called someone. In just a few seconds, the news about my cowardness traveled halfway across the world. Kendra face her phone screen at me, and I immediately saw Art's irritated face.He yells at me, "Cut the crap, Ava, will ya? I'm pretty sure I already showed you how impotent that boyfriend of yours is, right? So butt out
