S E L E N AOne thing I wasn't expecting to meet upon my return was Christopher, leaning against the door frame with a scowl on his face.“Hey?” I called out to him, grabbing his attention.He slowly raised his head to look in the direction where my voice was coming from. When our eyes met, I didn't want to admit but it seemed like the scowl deepened. He forced out a smile after watching me halt on my track, not attempting to move closer to him. “You’re back?” he asked, and I could swear there was anger in his tone.Nothing knowing if he was angry with me, or if he was just having a bad day. “Uhm,” I nodded, watching him closely.He peeled his back off the door frame and stood up straight. “How was it?” he asked, throwing his hand to his head to straighten his hair. “Did you enjoy your day with your friend?” he added, not looking at me.I didn't know how to reply. I would be damned if I say I didn't enjoy my day with Pedro, he was nothing but romantic throughout the drive. We even sh
P E D R O‘Please man, can you come over to my place? I think I'm losing my damn mind.’Roy’s tired grunt played over and over again in my head as I pulled over in his apartment.Honestly, I thought it was about my father and the sudden proposal of marrying Louisa. We hadn't heard from my father himself that he had partnered with Santos’, but we might be right since my father couldn't care less about the mother of his child. Since he could divorce his wife just for his business, I didn't think there was a thing my father could not do when it came to money and deals.“I just hope he hasn't pulled any trick yet because I swear, he would read dirty secrets of his company in the paper.” I gritted my teeth as I alighted from my car.Walking towards the house, I tried to shut down the thought of Selena and the heartfelt kiss that we shared and focus on the situation on the ground, but I couldn't. How could I not think of Selena when even the slightest thing about her brought a smile to my f
P E D R OI closed the door behind me and I wasn't so surprised to see Roy still pacing back and forth.“Hey?” I called out to him, walking towards him in the living room.Roy stopped pacing and turned to face me. His eyes were red and I assumed he must have been crying. Honestly, I felt sorry for the two of them, but I felt like the situation would have been avoided only if he had listened to his wife more, instead of being overly protective of her.“How’s she?” I rubbed his eyes and that when when I noticed the dark circles around his eyes. “How’s my wife?”“She’s okay. Everything has been settled.” I said, plunging into the seat.“God thank you!” Roy smiled and dropped to the couch next to him. “I was scared, brother.” he cried and I sat down there, watching him display whatever he wanted to display.“Thank you, Pedro, I honestly wouldn't have known what to do without you.” he wiped his eyes with his hand, staring at me with a glare of gratitude.“Stop glaring.” I groaned and threw
S E L E N A“I’m in front of your apartment. Come out.” the call dropped as soon as the person said.My grip on my phone tightened as I rushed up to the window and peered down at the blurry image of a man resting against a car outside the gate. My heart was pounding in my chest as I rushed out of my room and raced downstairs only to meet Christopher, taking a nap on the couch.As carefully as I could, I tiptoed to the front door and slowly opened the door so the sound wouldn't wake him up.Getting outside, the cold night breeze against my skin was what made me realise I was clad in just my nightwear. I sucked in a sharp breath as my phone started buzzing and I peeped at the caller ID to see that it was the same unsaved that called me out. “What the heck does this man want?” I groaned as I picked up the call and pressed it to my ear.I got to the gate and stretched my hand to open it. “Pedro, what do you want?” I half-yelled. “You. I want you.” he groaned out. I felt my breath hitch
S E L E N A*ding*The door unlocked with a click, and I was taken aback when I saw that he was still using the same passcode he had three years ago. I thought for sure he would have changed it by now, but apparently not.I stepped into his apartment, and the familiar scent of the place hit me like a wave. It was the same scent that I remembered from years ago, a unique combination of his cologne, his cooking, and the way he kept his home. It was like stepping back in time, and I felt a wave of nostalgia wash over me. I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself and focus on the task at hand. But I couldn't help but feel a little sentimental, as the memories of the past came flooding back.“I've missed this smell so much,” I whispered, closing my eyes and spreading my arms as if to embrace the scent itself. It was sweet and nostalgic, and it felt like I was home again, even though I hadn't been here in years. I breathed in deeply, trying to capture every nuance of the scent, committ
S E L E N APedro slowly raised his head, staring at me with a look that I had missed over the years. He grabbed my ass and lifted me off the floor, my legs wrapped around his waist as he held me closer to his body and smiled.“Can I?” he asked, his eyes seemed to be glowing each time he stared at me. I nodded, grabbed a fistful of his hair and lowered my head, planting a soft kiss on his lips. Giving him the chance to do as he pleased with me.“I want to taste you. I want to taste every part of your body.” He let out a low grunt when I moved away from him, he looked rather too hungry and chuckled softly, pressing my lips back to his.He deepened the kiss, his tongue thrusting and licking every corner of my mouth. His hands moved up to my back and let them slid down back to my waist, and then up again. Tracing every curve of my body.“Hmmp,” I moaned into his mouth, I loved what he was doing to my body. Even though I had felt that way three years ago, it still felt new and foreign to
S E L E N AWalking out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my chest. I had my wet hair wrapped in a towel as I walked towards Pedro’s bed.“Oh,” a bright smile spread on my face as I saw the shirt and a pant Pedro had laid down on his bed for me. My dresses had been stained with dirt after laying on the dusty bed in my former for what seemed like an hour of our make-out.The thought of make-out made my smile deepened and I slowly bit down on my bottom lip. Who would have thought I would ever give in to Pedro's charm again?I cleared my throat to check if Pedro was anywhere near the room and then moved my gaze towards the closed door. After making sure he wasn't there, I let out a satisfactory smile before peeling the towel off my body and tossing it to the floor.“Silly,” I chuckled. Why would I still be worried about him walking in on me while I was getting dressed when I had displayed everything for him to see with nothing more to hide?I shook my head and laughed at my foo
S E L E N A“Wait, Nina,” Pedro gasped and grabbed my hand, stopping me from stepping out of the car. My cheeks heated up in a smile, knowing he hadn't forgotten the name he used to call me.“Yeah?” I pressed my lips into a thin line, gulping down the smile that was threatening to break out of my face. I pulled my hand away from the button and turned back to see Pedro, staring at me with a wide grin on his face.“You look beautiful.” Pedro let out, his voice filled with awe. His eyes, a deep shade of purple met mine and I couldn't help but smile softly. I cleared my throat and looked down at my lap. “Thank you.” God! I felt my cheeks heated up and I was sure my cheeks must have been a shade of red. Pedro didn't say anything for a while, which made my cheeks heat up even more. “Um,” he said and I slowly raised my head to see him staring at me with a nervous smile.“Will you drop by tomorrow to get your dress?” he asked, and I felt my mouth curved into an ‘oh’.I had almost forgotten
