2024-10-29 19:42:56Samanta and Dominik fused together in a warm embrace. There, away from everyone, they finally felt free. Even for the short amount of time they had known each other, there was a certain chemistry between them. Almost as if their souls had previously met in another life. She felt comfortable and uninhibited with him. Dominik felt like he had never felt with a woman, in fact, nobody else before. His heart rejoiced and sometimes he thought it would explode from so much pleasure in it.
“I am very much in love with you” whispered Dom.
Sam remained silent, words were not coming out of her mind.
Dominik started planting short kisses on the lady's neck, climbing up to her face, spreading some more throughout her skin. He stopped and finally looked into Sam's eyes, they had a beautiful sparkle. a soft tingle in his stomach made him smile.
“Where have you brought me to?” He asked.
“This is the bed of the Los Angeles river. It's my special place. I come here when I need to be alone to think…”
“But you are not alone” he said, a little bit confused.
“And I'm scared, Dominik. I don't want to be alone ever again. When I first saw you, all I could think of was wanting to see you again, and again, and again.”
He came closer to her, a little more and set his eyes on hers.
Samanta was mesmerized by the blue eyes looking back at her, she wanted to stop time at that exact moment, but abrupt reality became latent, making her fall flat on the ground.
“This isn't going to work” she broke the silence.
He stood back a little to get a better view of her. He loved that beautiful face.
“What?” Those words burst his bubble.
“Look at us. Running away from everybody just to get some privacy.
“We are not running, I only want to protect you from them. I saw something this afternoon that upset me. I don’t want them to harass you. No. I don’t want that for you.”
“It is the price to pay for being with you.”
“It is a blessing and a curse.”
“Don't say that. People adore you, respect you… They look up to you!”
“I don’t have a life of my own. Since I was a child, I have never know what it is like to have friends, or dating a girl without seeing our faces on tabloids.”
“Dominik. Who are you trying to fool? That is your life, it will always be…”
“I don’t understand, Sam. Before I met you I only wanted one thing The World Cup. Now all I want is to be with you. I can only think of you.”
“Let's not make things complicated…”
“No, you are complicating things, just let everything flow” he interrupted.
“This won't end well, you know it. One of us will get hurt and I don't want to be that person.
“I will not hurt you.”
“Dominik don't make this so hard.”
“Damn it, Sam! We are too old to be playing games, these feelings just happen, you have to live them and enjoy them, without complications.”
“You make it sound so pretty, but…”
Sam could not finish her phrase, Dominik silenced her with a kiss. A soft kiss, the kind that take your breath away. A vibrant kiss that shakes you to the core, a kiss with a foundation. The world no longer existed, only their lips.

What Dominik admired most of his publicist was how easily he could always get relevant information. That gift had earned him many million dollar contracts with renowned brands, as well as saved him many headaches. He could not deny, Friedrich was a very efficient publicist/manager. A couple phone calls to the right people and he had the world at his feet.That night he would be using his persuasion talent to find out more about that one woman who was causing Dominik to act like a teenager about to hit puberty. Not only because he was worried about his client's image, but because he despised Dominik being attracted to someone, after all his hard work to move forward with him, he would not let some novelty girl ruin everything.He took his electronic phone book and found the number of the magazine which that same morning, published the article mentioning the identity of the girl Dominik had disappeared with the day before.“Yes?” A man answered.“Is this Steve Andrew?” Friedrich asked.

Samanta looked once again at the keys between her shaky hands. They were Gordon's bike keys, which she had just parked outside her house. She slowly looked up and set her eyes on Dominik, who had an ample smile on his face. Inside of her, there was a strong conflict of emotions. She wanted to be next to him, kiss him and hold him, but she did not want to get her hopes up. She knew that in a couple weeks, he would have to return to his country, to his routine… it would be a matter of time for him to forget about her. She would only be a simple summer fling. At that moment, she decided to enjoy that, for as long as it would last.“Would you like to come in?” she asked.“Only if you promise your sister will not try to lecture me again” Dom answered.Samanta laughed out loud. Dominik had an innate gift to make her laugh, even if unintentionally.“Silly” she softly bumped his chest.Dominik held her fist ever so delicately and kissed her. He leaned in slightly and kissed her lips. He loved

The pain in his chest was excruciating, tears kept pouring. He could not understand. Why in the world was he feeling that? They had managed to keep a good friendship for over six years. He had never looked at her like that. Sammy was a sister to him. Regardless, that pain expanding in his chest burned like embers and took his breath from his lungs.“Out of all of the women in the world, it had to be her. He could pick any of them, and he chose her” he sobbed.He could not believe his luck. So many years as her friend, and, just when he realized his feelings for her, a new man comes as an obstacle to him. He could never take on Dominik Weigand. Not in his wildest dreams.«If only I had told her from the get go ».That morning when he helped Samanta escape from the coffee shop. When he thought she'd come home to find refuge from the public eye, while he took his break, he found some images of her with Dominik, in the special place she and him shared.

Samanta was used to go jogging every Sunday, to relax and put her thoughts in order. The past two weeks had been crazy, she really needed it this morning more than never, a good dose of serotonin in her organism. She would make the most of her day off.Feeling the wind blow softly against her cheeks while listening to Alexandra Stan, at the beat of Mr. Saxobeat, playing in her ear buds was just great. It felt great to run and feel free, her heartbeat speeding up, her muscles heating up reminded her she was alive. Her thoughts started getting in order, among all of them, she came to the conclusion that she had to go to Egypt. She would have to wait one more week until the SAT results came out, to find out whether she had been admitted to study Archaeology at the American University in El Cairo. She could not lose her focus, living some shady fling with a celebrity. Her goals were set, she could not deny her feelings for Dominik, but he was not one of her life priorities.A sudden flash

Carlos hardly came out of bed. Truth was, he wanted to stay in bed all day long. He was in no mood for visitors, but he thought maybe his mother forgot her keys.His heart skipped a beat when he realized this was not his mother knocking, but Samanta, smiling from ear to ear, shaking a paper bag in front of her face.“Hello” she said, right before she jumped onto him with a big hug. “A little birdie told me you were feeling bad, so I brought some hotcakes Teresa made.Although he loved the sight of her smiling face and hearing her musical voice, that morning he did not want to see her. Seeing her hurt a lot. He faked a smile and said hi.“Hi, Sam. Come in” he answered begrudgingly.Sam headed straight for the kitchen, ready to plate the food.“Come on, they'll get cold” she yelled from the kitchen to have Carlos join her. “Your mother? There's some for her, too.”“She went out early, I don't know where she went” Carlos sounded as though he was complaining.Samanta came up to her friend

The ball rolled to and fro. Dominik was in the middle of the field, with vacant eyes. He was deep into his own thoughts. He could not focus the whole morning. His whole team wondered: What the heck is wrong with Dominik? Nobody had a concise answer.The ball hit Weigand's leg hard, waking him up.“I don't like seeing him like this” commented Ewald to Friedrich, who were watching the practice from the bleachers.“He'll get back from it” said Treadaway nonchalantly.“We went overboard” the head coach felt concerned.“We did the right thing” snapped the publicist. “Look at him now, the way he's acting. I can't even fathom how he would be acting if this girl had gone and broke his heart.”“I had never seen Dominik so enthusiastic about a girl, maybe he is in love.”“It's an infatuation, Ewald. He'll snap out of it soon.“What if he doesn't? Just look at him, he looks mentally retarded.“Dominik!” Yelled Friedrich. The man looked at him. “Get your head in the game” he added.Dom glared at

Three years ago.A pair of green eyes were set on a beautiful girl with brown hair, who stopped before a locker to put her things away. She was gorgeous, he realized.“Who's that?” The black-haired, fair-skinned boy asked his friend.The other guy looked at the pretty girl in the floral print dress. She had her hair in a high pony-tail and she was almost angelic beauty. He turned towards his classmate and looked at him from head to toes. The exact opposite of what he had just seen. His friend was wearing black trousers, ripped at the knees with thick chains coming out of his pocket, a pair of black converse and a T-shirt with the Guns N’ Roses logo he seemed to not have washed in weeks. The only thing he had going for him was his good looks. Girls would turn around to look at him walk by, dazzled by his long dark hair, contrasting his bright green eyes. He had worked hard for his bad boy image. Never taking any reprimands from a teacher, the detention room was home away from home to h

Present day A tar rolled down Samanta's cheek. Those were very painful memories time seemed to never heal. She could not forgive herself for what she did. She put her hand on her womb, remembering the atrocity she allowed. At that moment, she felt even more frustrated and confused. She felt the weight of the world was on her and she needed to breathe. She needed to relax, step away from all this emotional chaos.The only good thing that came out from her rebel days was her acquired taste for rock music, she would indulge in it now. She needed it urgently. Enjoying a nice live music show, sipping a nice cold beer, that seemed like a great idea. Being on her own, thinking and just disconnecting from the world even if just for a few hours.She felt something in her pocket vibrating, indicating an incoming call. She looked at her phone screen and found out it was Dominik. She did not want to speak to anybody, so she shut the device off, freeing herself from any torment.Her sister Teresa

I turned to the man who was talking to me. There was something in that voice that made me evoke a thousand memories. I looked at him carefully for a while, because although his face was very familiar to me, I couldn't place him. I opened my eyes like saucers and my heart stopped for a fraction of a second when I recognized the owner of those green eyes that were looking at me. In front of me was the personification of all my fears, traumas and insecurities. The man who served as a benchmark to compare all the people who came into my life after him. It was a beautiful vision, and at the same time a nightmare come true. “Antoine,” I said his name with difficulty. If the mere memory of him stirred up a lot of emotions in me, can you imagine “what his presence did to me?” The imposing figure of a six-foot-tall man lay before me. His eyes were greener than I remembered them and he had a beautiful smile (the one that brought out a couple of dimples in his cheeks) plastered on his face. He

I shook my head hard to concentrate on my friend's voice. She kept talking, but I stopped listening to her for a moment because I was thinking about Harvey, the gorgeous blond I met two months ago on one of my many girls' outings with Gabrielle, and who I started dating four weeks ago. He was divorced and had two young children. All my life I was reluctant to have anything with a man with children, because my policy was always: If I can buy a new car, ¿why buy a used one? This thought became ingrained in me as a result of living with my stepmother. It's not that our relationship was bad, but I remember a couple of times I tried to make her life miserable, just for fun. I was afraid that divine justice would take its toll on me for those years of rebellion and headaches I'd caused Valerie. But there was something about Harvey that appealed to me so much. He was very direct and upfront. When he approached me, he didn't do it with the typical cliché phrases that all men use to approac

She was silent, watching as that handsome man walked away. She didn't understand why she couldn't stop looking at him. She had seen handsome men many times. His father lived surrounded by them.

However, there was something about… Damn! h e didn't tell her his name a n d h e wanted very much t o know. h e hit his forehead as h e remembered how h e treated him. "How stupid I am.
