Chapter 3

Hello love (2)

I stood frozen, my eyes locked on the chaotic scene unraveling before me. Time seemed to stand still as I struggled to absorb everything happening in front of my disbelieving gaze. His desperate moan mingled with hers, filling the room with a symphony of desire and carnal pleasure.

He held her tightly in his lap, their bodies moving with an intensity that boarded on reckless abandon. With each forceful thrust, she surrenders herself unreservedly, their connection creating an intoxicating dance of shared passion. The soft rays of sunlight delicately caressed her fiery red curls, infusing them with a warm, ethereal glow.

Her ample bosom bounced rhythmically, seemingly dancing to the primal rhythm driving their coalition. Her moan grew in volume, cascading through the air like ripples of ecstasy. However, amidst this mesmerizing tableau, Samantha's presence suddenly registered beside me.

Shocked by the explicit display unfolding mere inches away, her astonishment was palpable. Grabbing her arm urgently, I swiftly guided her back out of the room, closing the door behind us just in time. We stood in the hallway, our breathe raggedness as we attempted to regain composure in the aftermath of what we had witnessed

" if you ever need to switch rooms, am always available" she teased me as she walked away.

I sigh in exhaustion, this is the third time in a role, I have walked into the room with Penelope always fucking someone, I sat down close to the door post in what seems like an hour, anger fueled inside of me, I picked up my phone and dialed Penelope number, It kept ringing till she finally picks

"What" her voice sounded exhausted

" what??, are you fucking kidding me, of all bed it has to be mine" I was furious and I know she could sense it

"Wh-where are you" she stuttered

"Open the fucking door, Penelope" I stood up from where I sat, picking up my bag and the pile of documents I collected from Gustavo, could this day not get any more worst. The door opened, and she brought out her head slightly from the little opening of the door

"What are you doing, let me in Penelope"  I stared at her

"Little problem" her eye glitters

" Please, what did you do"

" not me, it just happened" She finally opened the door as I walked in

In the dimly lit room, my gaze fixated on the mysterious figure straddled upon Penelope's bed. The lack of light dimmed his features, leaving me unable to tell apart any defining characteristics. However, fortune favored me as my side of the room was spacious and well-illuminated, unlike Penelope's dimly shadowed corner.

As I shifted my attention, my eyes unintentionally landed on my bed sheet, revealing a strange water stain. my mind raced, desperately attempting to dismiss the seemingly unthinkable idea that flickered across my thoughts. Could it be? I silently pleaded with myself, desperately grasping for any alternative explanation. perhaps it was merely a water stain, innocent and harmless, I tried to convince myself.

Turning away from the bed sheet, my gaze met Penelope's mischievous presence standing just behind me. She struggled to restrain her laughter, her attempt to mask it proving ineffective.

"Penelope"  I stared at her in disbelieve

She burst out in laughter, her eyes dripping with tears, I joined her as I laughed my heart out, I love Penelope, despite my frustration, she always has a way of making me laugh.

" I swear it just happened" Her arm instinctively locked with mine, and the warmth of her touch sent a jolt of electricity, through my body, leveling me at that moment, it was a brief connection, but one resonated deeply within me

"Well, I guess that's my cue" Penelope fuck mate respectfully rose from his seat, his departure now close. For the first time truly, I took notice of him, standing tall, he possessed a slender frame that seemed to lack any color or vitality. As if life itself had been drained from him. Yet there was a certain youthful innocence that emitted from his boyish features.

"See you later, peppermint" he grabbed Penelope by the face and kissed her, it felt like forever.

I cleared my throat, drawing their attention, and he turned to me with a beaming smile. As he left, my gaze met Penelope's stunning brown eyes. Her radiant smile revealed a captivating confidence that made her resemble a masterpiece from an art gallery. With her fiery red curls cascading around her, she stood at an impressive 5'6" with curvaceous features. We were of similar height, but she possessed an aura that dominated the room, Penelope lived life fearlessly, not caring about other's opinions. In that moment. I couldn't help but envy her incredible life and magnetic personality.

"So what happened this time, daddy asked you to Mop your stepmom's tears," she mocked playfully from her side of  the bed, her eyes fixed on me

"Not quite," I replied, walking over to my bed and removing the stained sheet.

"But am glad you are here" Penelope added

"Why is that," she asks excitement shining in her eyes

"We're going clubbing tonight," she exclaimed, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

Her face lit up with excitement, the gleam in her eyes infectious as she let out a contagious giggle. Without missing a beat, she jumped to her feet, immediately diving into the chaotic mess of my wardrobe.

"I don't think, tonight is possible pen" I sighed, running a weary hand over my tired brow.

Ignoring my protest, she disregarded any sense of order, determined to make tonight happen

"No no no, I already told Aviña we will make it" She approached me with a playful yet pleading look in her eyes, clutching my hand in Hers, her eyes pleading. "Please G". She begged.

I couldn't resist her charm, knowing that a night out was exactly what I needed after the terrible day I just endured.

"Fine" I give in

She squeaked again, but this time in excitement as she went back to disorganizing my closet.

I stood in front of the full-length mirror, staring at my appearance in what seemed like forever. " I don't know Pen, I feel overdressed" The form-fitting, knee-length red bandage dress, plays sexily on my body, with a low cut, plunging neckline that accentuates my bust and exposes a hint of cleavage, creating a seductive allure. The dress hugs my curves in all areas of my body, showcasing my hourglass shape

"What do you mean, you look incredibly hot, you are going to make heads turn" She stood behind me, a satisfying smile placed on her well-glossy lip

I took a sleek and stylish leather jacket from my wardrobe and put it on as it reached just above my hip. I wore a pair of strappy black stiletto heels that elongated my legs and boosted my confidence, I styled my hair in loose curls with my bold and sultry makeup, I stared at the mirror one last time, I looked perfect

"Come on" Avina is waiting for us, you know how grumpy she gets when things don't go her way" Penelope added as she picked up her silver purse

An abrupt noise, shifted our attentions as Penelope glanced at me hoping I had a clue as to who was at the door

I simply shake my head in response, she quickly walks toward the door, as I glance through my phone

"G" she called, her face now staring at me

I stared at the figure that stood at the door, color draining off my face, as I stuttered the only word I could have the courage to say

"What-what are you doing here" The whole room fell into stillness as we all stared at each other confused.

"Hey, hope am not imposing" he beamed me a smile, his eyes looking exhausted. "Was hoping we could catch up, we left off from a wrong start this morning" his eyes were sincere, and I could not help but feel drawn in.

I gave Penelope, an excuse me face as I watched her roll her eyes in annoyance as she walked out, shutting the door behind. We stood there for what seemed like hours, I glanced at my wristwatch, anxious.

"You were saying" my eyes now fixed on him

" nice dorm, his eyes fixed on my chaotic wardrobe, Jesus Christ Penelope, I felt embarrassed

"You are not here to compliment my wardrobe, are you"

"Seems like I came at the wrong time" his eyes seized my entire look as he gave me a disappointing look. Well, that was a typical Gustavo, my way of life irritates the hell out of him.

" I was about to head out, so it's none of your business" I tried covering my bust with the black leather Jacket I had on

He walks close, and in an instant I move back, giving room for whatever disaster he has in store, his brows furrowed in confusion as he stares at me

"Am not going to hurt you Gemini"

" I know, Gustavo, but right now I would love to keep my distance" I folded my hands in protest, I hate the fact that we quarrel, it was exhausting.

With Gustavo it was a different drama, he was supposed to be my person, yet I don't think he ever was

"Were you ever mine?" I asked curiously

"Gemini" his voice calm as he tries to hold me, I move back, stopping him

"Just answer the question, were you ever mine or on my side?" Deep down I wanted him to scream yes, assuring me that I was overthinking everything, his silence was deafening and my heart was torn into a thousand pieces, I brushed past him, opening the door to let him out

"You should go"

"Gemini" he held my hand

"Please just leave Gustavo" my face expressionless as I watch him stand outside the hallway, with one last glance, I close the door on him

I stared inside the room, my heart was crashing, and I couldn't breathe, I quickly brought out my phone, dialing as fast as I could, she finally pick

" pen" my voice cracked as a hot tear ran down my cheek
