Chapter Five. 

Lila. 

His eyes never left mine, and I stared hypnotized into those truly strange and exciting eyes. I was trembling and my heart was pounding so hard in my chest my blood roared in my ears. I remained frozen even when his hand touched my cheek. It felt like hot coals on my skin. I inhaled deeply and breathed in his scent. It was unbelievable the effect this man had on me. Or maybe it was the too many glasses of wine that were settling in. 

I tried my hardest to act unaffected but failed miserably when he curled his hand till his knuckles replaced his palm and brushed them gently across my cheeks. I could feel the flush spread across my face like a burn.

Then his hand reached my bottom lip and his gaze dropped to the quivering flesh. Using the smooth pad of his thumb he pulled my bottom lip down, let it go, then watched it bounce back into place with a curious expression on his face. The only way I could describe the look in his eyes was the way a cat plays with a mouse. Pawing it; throwing it in the air and letting it run; catching it again with quick reflexes; letting it run. 

Slowly, his gaze returned to mine. Kiss me, my heart pleaded, but I was still sane enough not to say it aloud.

My hands clenched into fists by my side. I was aching with the gnawing need to grab him and kiss that sensuous mouth, or to push him very far away from me.

He lowered his head and I immediately clenched my eyes shut and waited for the moment his mouth would touch mine. At that moment, it felt as though only a taste of him would feed the vicious need in my belly. But his lips did not connect with mine, instead he lay them on the exposed swell of my breast.

It was such a simple act: his lips on my skin, but it shot such a bolt of pleasure through me that it tore a gasp from my lips. My bones weakened into jelly, and unable to trust my knees to keep me upright, I gripped his bulging biceps.

Then, like an animal he licked me. And I gasped at the bolt that ran through my body. It felt like a bolt of electricity. My entire groin went numb.

As I stood there in shock, he straightened and began to caress my breast through the fabric of my dress. His thumb stroked the traitorous hardened peak in the middle. There was simply no hiding my desire for him when it was that blatantly obvious. When he took away his hand a cry of complaint almost escaped me.

Those piercing grays were full of knowing as he slipped his hand into the slit of my dress. I stared into his eyes entranced. With one swift motion, he ripped the material all the way up to my hips.

My head shot down to see the destruction of the beautiful dress. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever worn in my life and he had destroyed it without a second thought. A wave of sadness engulfed me. The metaphor between me and that dress couldn’t be clearer. I was that dress. Something he. had paid so much for and yet was of so little value to him, so disposal.

“Open your legs, ” he commanded.

Blindly I obeyed, I would do anything that man demanded of me, I was at his mercy and I liked it, how in control he was. 

One of his hard hands slipped around my hips to stroke the taut flesh of my butt, while the other boldly grabbed my sex in an imitation of what I had done to myself last night.

The stimulating surge was too much and I visibly jerked at the direct assault. I was already soaked and ready, but I had to tell him before we went too far. 

"I am a virgin." I whispered, my whole body still engulfed in pleasure, he needed to know atleast that's what I had thought before I realized telling him was my biggest mistake. 

"What?" he said, immediately getting off me. 

"I didn't say you stop, we can continue, I just wanted to let you know." i said gtinn3, until I saw his face, he looked furious. 

"I am so sorry, this was a mistake." he said getting up, zipping up his pants. "Let's just keep this as agreed," he said and after a few seconds , he was out and I was sitting on the bed named. 

My cheeks flushed red with embarrassment. 

I quickly dressed up and followed him, he was still by the pool. 

"I thought we were having a moment." I said, embarrassed to even face him. 

"You are a virgin Lila, I don't fuck virgins and you are not even my type. We have been through this." I felt like he had stabbed me right in my chest. 

"Well thank you for stopping me from making the worst mistake of my life" I fired back before I started scrambling for my clothes. 

I didn't want to be here anymore. I also did not want him to see the tears forming in my eyes. But before I could leave, he got up. 

"It's a long drive back home and it's late and you have been drinking, it's not safe. You can sleep here tonight." 

"I don't want to stay here anymore."I said truthfully, 

" You have no choice Lila, I am not letting you get on the road and in this state Lila. If you are worried about me sharing the bed with you worry not I will find somewhere else to sleep." he said authoritatively like I was a kid or something before he left. 

As soon as he was gone, I finally let the tears I was holding back flow freely.. 

What a jerk?!

    Lila. I woke up to the unfamiliar bedroom walls, I was still in Lucas childhood home, the events of the previous night started coming back one by one, and could instantly feel my face turning pink from the humiliation he had put me through. A big part of me wished all this was a bad dream, but the more I registered the surrounding the more real it got. I almost had sex with Luca last night and when he found out I was a virgin he humiliated me. I slowly got out of bed, putting on my robe, l needed to get ready and get out of here as soon as I possibly could. I was about to get in the shower, when I heard a gentle knock on the door. "Come in" I yelled from the bathroom, and I heard the door open slowly.Luca never did anything slowly, so I definitely knew it was not him. "Excuse me miss." I got out of the bathroom, and it was Maria, the house keeper."Good morning Maria, you can just call me Lila please." I said with a smile,"I am supposed to get you to come down for breakfast."

    Lila. The drive back to the hospital was quick, but my mind was pre occupied by last night's events and todays. I thought we had shared a moment with Luca. But he had bolted, No note, no nothing and his phone was going straight to voice mail. I stepped into the hospital lobby, the sterile smell of antiseptic hanging heavy in the air, I hated hospitals because of this very smell. I remember when I came to see my dad over a decade ago, this very smell still lingered in my brain. It felt like I had gone back to tha exact time ten years ago. The memories were still fresh, it almost like it just happened. The doctor had said my father had no fighting chance, every organ in his body was failing. But were still hopeful. I remember sitting on one of the benches outside my dad's room, waiting for him to get out of surgery, we were hopeful, we prayed, we really prayed, but then the doctor came and I remember I almost knew instantly just by how he was talking to my mother. I could not go th

    LilaSo many things were running through my mind, Luca had transferred my mom to one of the most expensive cancer treatment facilities in New York. Why would he do that? I asked myself still trying to call him, his phone was going straight to voice mail. A random number that knew about my mother was texting me, none of this was making any sense to me at allMy heels clicked sharply against the concrete as I walked through the dimly lit parking lot, the chill of the evening air biting at my skin. All kinds of thoughts running through my mind, I was so confused. As I approached my car, a shadow shifted at the far end of the parking lot where my car was parked. The figure moved closer, revealing a man in a worn leather jacket, his hands shoved deep in his pockets.Lila’s stomach turned with fear, as I looked around, there was no one else, and I knew even if I tried to scream it would be pointless. No one would hear me from down here. I didn’t recognize him, but the way he stood there,

    Lila The ride to the new hospital where my mom had been transferred to was only a few minutes away from where I was. I could tell it was fancy before I even got inside, It screamed rich. But everything about this whole thing just felt fishy. Luca was still unreachable yet he had been able to have my mom moved to another hospital in a span of a few hours. "Hey, I am here to see..." I was immediately cut short."We have been expecting you miss Lila, I will show you to your mom's room." The nurse said smiling, everything here was much nicer."How do you know who I am?" I asked curious."You are Luca's fiancee, ofcourse we know who you are." she said smiling as she suggested I follow her."Is he here?" I asked casually, hoping the answer would be yes."Who?""Luca, is he still here?" she looked at me confused now,"What are you talking about? Luca as not stepped foot here yet.""I am so confused, then who had my mother admitted here?""oooh, that'll.." she was cut short by a depeer vo

    Luca. She had been blowing me up all day and it was starting to irritate me. I thought she understood what this was, yes, yesterday I had crossed a line, we both had but it was a mistake. I had no intention of getting involved with Lila romantically, she was not even my type. I checked my phone and I saw that she had texted me to meet her at a club where she used to work. It was where I had seen her for the very first time there. I was about to put my phone down when I saw an incoming call from my dad.He never called me ever which is why this was so weird. I let it still go to voicemail. "I have to go meet up with Lila, she had been blowing me up all morning, my dad too, something seems off." I said to Vanessa who was still in bed."I don't like that girl Luca, does she understand what this is because she is acting like you are in a real relationship."I could tell Vanessa was clearly pissed off just by the way she was talking, her voice tone seemed cold. I sat back on the bed,

    Richard. It had been over ten years since I last saw Christine. But i never imagined the next time I would see her, that it would be in this state. But even sick, she still looked as beautiful as the last time I Saw her. I watched her sleep, my fingers trailing over her soft cheeks. She seemed so peaceful.She slowly opened her eyes, "Hey," I said caressing her hand slowly and softly, "I did not mean to wake you up, I'm sorry." "It's okay, where is she?" Christine asked looking around the room."She went out for a cup of coffee. Promised her I will stay with you until she came back.""oooh."I sat there in silence watching her, "I am so sorry this is happening to you Christine.""Life right?" she said jokingly, but I could see the pain in her eyes.We sat in total silence for a while. "You know they can't get married Richard, you can't let them marry each other." she finally said."I don't think that is up to us Christine, they are adults and if they love each other we can't stan

    Luca. "What can't Lila know?" I asked confused. "Dad, what are you doing here? Do you know Lila's mom?""You are engaged to her daughter, I thought it would be a good gesture for all of us to get acquainted since we are going to be family anyway.""Woow, that's nice of you dad," I said patting his back, "Lila told me you are the one that had her transfered here too, thank you.""it's the least I can do, she deserves the best."Something was definitely going on and I could just sense it, but I was not mad at it either, my father was showing interest in something other than himself for the first time. "So what should Lila not know? I heard you say Lila should never find out.""It's nothing, I just don't want her to live her life worrying about me." her mother said and just like Lila, she was a terrible liar too."Well, I'm glad the whole family is here, so we can tell them our news."

    Luca. I had just found out I needed a new kidney. I sat on the chair looking outside, taking in the view. My father, Richard, stood at the window, staring out at the parking lot below. His face was pale, but his eyes were distant, lost in thought. The kidney test results had come in just moments ago. And I knew instantly something was wrong. To be fair I knew something was wrong when he was taking the test, he did not seem too eager to do it. After a long silence, my father still holding the results in his hands, he finally spoke up, his voice low, almost like he was unsure of what he was about to say. "Your test came back, Luca… I… I wasn’t a match." He paused, turning away from the window and facing me now, no indifference in his face. "But that’s not the worst part." he continued and all kinds of things were running through my mind. It was natural for family members not to match so I really had no idea why he seemed so sad we weren't a match. We had enough money in the world t

    Lila"What does he mean by this Jenny? What did you say to him? Where did he go?" My legs nearly give out. I stagger to the couch, the letter fluttering in my trembling hands. The paper is warm from my grip, but his words cut through me like ice.Gone where, Luca? None of this was making an sense, I had only stepped out for a few minutes, waht could she have possibly said to him. I read faster, eyes blurring from more than just the tears building behind them. As if trying to find an hidden message behind the message. But there was no hidden message, it was just as plain as it read. I was about to get up, when I saw another note, a little hidden like he didn't want someone to find it. He had placed it below the fruit bowl, neatly folded. I picked the note, careful not to seem suspicious to Jenny who seemed unfazed by any of this. 'Lila, I couldn’t stay. I know you’ll hate me for this, and I deserve that. But after hearing her, hearing what she said, it wasn’t enough. There is mo

    Lila. We all sit down on the floor, our legs crossed facing each other, the letter in his hand. I nudge him to go ahead and open it. It's now or never. Luca’s fingers tremble as he breaks the seal on the letter. I watch his knuckles, turn white against the yellowed paper, and my heart is a fist punching inside my ribs.He doesn’t say anything. Doesn’t look at me. Just starts reading.I feel useless. Like I’m standing at the edge of a cliff watching someone I love tumble off it in slow motion and there’s nothing I can do to catch him. Nothing I can say to soften the crash.The silence is unbearable. I move closer to him. “Luca?” I say softly, His eyes scan line after line, but it’s like the words are dragging him under. His jaw is clenched so tight I swear I can hear the tension grinding in his teeth. When he finally speaks, it’s a whisper, brittle and sharp like glass underfoot.“She says she left because of him. My dad. She says... she wanted to come back. But he threatened her.”

    Luca.I wasn’t even sure how I got home. The sidewalk bent and curved like a snake, and the streetlights flared and flickered like firecrackers, and I was just stumbling through it all like I didn’t belong in the world anymore. My keys missed the lock three times before the door gave way under my weight. The house was too quiet. Like it knew something I didn’t.My head buzzed like a goddamn beehive. My stomach was a pit. Everything in me was too full, too much whiskey, too many thoughts, too many years of things I never said out loud.I didn’t mean to go to her room.I didn’t even think. My feet just carried me there. Like they remembered something I had forgotten.Lila’s door was open. That soft glow of her bedside lamp leaked into the hallway, golden and warm. She was curled up on her bed, legs folded, book in hand, glasses perched low on her nose like they always were when she got serious about something. Her eyes flicked up when I leaned against the doorframe like I was trying to

    Richard. The air suddenly becomes cold and I can tell something is definitely wrong by how Jenny is acting and so quiet. I shut the door behind the detectives and follow them into the living room like I’m in a dream. Jenny’s already sitting on the edge of the couch, hands in her lap, eyes locked on the floor like a kid caught shoplifting.“What’s going on?” I ask as I sit across from Jenny and the two detectives. The taller one, introduces himself as, Detective Harlan before he glances at his partner, then back at me.“We are looking into a cold case,” he says. “A missing person from 1999. You knew a man named Marcus Wynn?”The name hits like a slap. He was the reason me and Jenny fought so much in our marriage. "Yeah. I knew Marcus." He was Jenny’s friend. Or so she said. A musician. Used to crash on our couch sometimes in the months before she left. The kind of guy who always had a half smile and a cigarette behind his ear. After she disappeared, so did he.“Why are you asking

I know if I don't Luca about his mother and she dies without making things right with him, he will never forgive me if he found out she tried to reach out and I didn't tell him. It’s Sunday afternoon when I finally decide to do it. Two days since Jenny left again. Two days staring at the folded letter like it’s a bomb waiting to go off. Because it is. Luca texts me that he’s stopping by to help with the gutters, like I’m too old to hold a damn ladder. I tell him sure, come by. Bring that wrench you stole from my garage five years ago. He laughs in a text. Says he might.I make coffee. Black. Strong. The kind that punches you awake. I sit at the kitchen table and place the letter dead center between us.It’s cloudy outside. A fitting day for the news I was about to drop in his laps. I appreciated the fact that his wife Lila had not mentioned anything to him yet, h

    Richard. It’s been four days.Four long, dragging, claustrophobic days since Jenny stood in my living room and detonated twenty five years of silence with three words: I have cancer and I am dying. And now every time I pass the mirror in the hallway, I catch my own reflection and flinch, because I don’t recognize the man looking back. He’s waiting. Holding his breath. Listening for a knock that may never come.I wanted to tell Luca about his mother, that she was back and she was dying. Anothet part of me hates her and Saw this is her karma, she did not deserve to see the amazing man Luca had turned out to become. She didn't deserve to say goodbye to him. But why was I feeling so much guilt over it. Luca came by last night, as he does every Thursday. Same routine. He brings dinner some overpriced vegan thing Lila cooks and we sit in awkward silence, pretending we’re just two men, not a father and son still sutured together by old wounds.He doesn’t know she was here.I don’t tell h

    Richard. I still remember the last time I saw her, I replayed it so many times in my head that at some point it just stuck. I used to make up scenarios in my head about what would happen if I ever saw her again, but over the years I gave up.I didn't think she would ever come back, I did not even know if she was still alive. I had hired some of the best private investigators, but none was ever successful in finding her. As soon as she left, her trail went cold. It was like looking for a ghost, it was like she never existed at all. So I let it go and over the years accepted that I might never see her again or find out what happened to her. Clearly I was wrong, because she was back in the flesh and she still looked the same, but age had catched up. "Richard." she said, My name. That voice. I hadn’t heard it in twenty five years, and still, it hit like a freight train. I didn’t move right away. Thought maybe it was a ghost, a trick of the old walls. "Jenny." I managed to say, T

    Lila. I could not believe this was actually happening to me. I took another test and the results were the same. I was pregnant. I stared at the stick. Still. Two pink lines. Still.It had been five minutes. Ten maybe. Or an hour? I couldn’t tell anymore. My hands were cold and shaking . My heartbeat pounded in my ears like a bass drum in an empty hall. I tried to breathe. In. Out. Slow. Steady.Pregnant.The word looped in my brain like a song I hated but couldn’t stop humming. I sat on the edge of the bathtub, knees pressed to my chest, the test trembling in my fingers. A thousand thoughts crashed together in my head like a demolition site how? Well, obviously how. But... now what? What the hell was I supposed to do now?We hadn't even had a real conversation with Luca for over a week now, and I was supposed to just casually tell him that now I was pregnant.
