One Night Only

Lillie

I come to my senses when I see his face change from serious to arrogant. He cocks a smile, that sneer of cynicism that I hate, but at the same time I’m starting to like. Why? I don’t know. It makes him look more attractive and sexy. He makes me lose myself in it while I watch him. I contemplate her full lips; I wish she would kiss me again.

“I’m already thinking nonsense.”

The voice of my sister returns to my consciousness. She’s waiting for me outside. I listen to the sensible part of my brain and start moving. I push the door to get out of there as quickly as possible and walk with hurried steps until I reach the sink, where my sister is looking at herself in the mirror while she arranges her hair. I turn on the tap to drink some water with my hands and pour it on my face. I need to cool down, as I feel my cheeks burning. I hope that helps a little. My hands are shaking and I’m still nervous. The Devil is still in the cubicle, I just hope he doesn’t dare to come out until we leave, because if he comes out right now and my sister realizes that she was locked up with a man, I don’t know how I will be able to face such a situation, I don’t know what I will tell him, and I don’t want him to think strange thoughts. She and my mom don’t have to find out about him.

“Is something wrong? – He’s looking at me through the mirror. It looks like you’ve seen a ghost. – He makes a face and continues with what he was doing.

I shake my head and try to control my breathing, which is still a little agitated.

“I’m fine “I try to answer calmly, but I think it doesn’t seem like it.

– I think that spending many hours in this place affected us in something. Come on, let’s get out of here. I’ll buy you a drink in the cafeteria, it’s good for you to join me on the way to work. – He’s winking at me.

I try to give her a nice smile to show her that I’m fine.

We walked towards the bathroom exit. Alex goes out first. Before doing so I turn my head to see if he is still inside the cubicle; he is already outside. With a playful smile, he throws me a kiss and then a wink.

“Cynical! “I grumble as I give him a death stare.

He smiles bigger and I roll my eyes because of his cynicism. I turn to leave that place and catch up with my sister, who is already somewhat retired.

Minutes later, I find myself at my sister’s work. I’m sitting at the bar drinking a soda that she bought me, immersed in my thoughts. I’m thinking about that guy. I wonder how he knew I was there and how he knows where I am always.

As I get tangled up with a lot of doubts in my head, I come to the conclusion that maybe he’s watching over me. By now everything is credible. I also hesitate about his words, which he said when we were locked in the bathroom; “You belong to me completely now” and “You will be mine forever”. I knew he had possessiveness issues, but I didn’t think he was sick to the point of making himself believe it himself. He is a man who believes himself to be very superior and who feels very confident in what he says or does. I will make him see that this is not how he thinks. He already made me desperate with his controlling attitude and his bullying. He stalks me at all times and wants to do with me as he pleases. It’s time she showed him that she was the wrong girl. If to what I think he meant by his silly possessive words, if it’s about the money he sent me, I’ll show him that he won’t always get away with it.

Without further ado, I will return to Julie’s club to work, turn a deaf ear and continue with my job as a dancer. If money is just a pretext to take over me, he’s going to hit the wall, because I’m not going to like him. As soon as I can, I will pay that debt, and once it is paid, nothing will bind me to him anymore.

Right now the only thing that matters to me is that my mother recovers and comes home to us. I’ll take care of that man later, and if he comes up with the idea of showing up like he always does, I’ll make it clear to him that I don’t want anything that relates to me and has to do with him. Absolutely nothing. I will make him see that no one controls me, much less an arrogant and hateful guy like him. I need to act as quickly as possible before my mother and Alex find out about it and start interrogating me with unnecessary questions.

It’s been a long week and my mom will be discharged from the hospital today. I was waiting at the apartment with Sandy. Meanwhile, Alex will pick up Mom and bring her back home. I took the opportunity to arrange and order everything for his arrival.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

I returned to my job at the club. Julie did not want to accept me this time because she told me that it could bring her problems with the Devil’s mafia, but after so much insisting and begging her that I occupied the job she returned it to me. I know that maybe I’ll get her in trouble, and all because I want to get that guy out of his mind.

I’m determined. Nothing will change my mind.

I know Julie has the upper hand because she’s protected by that Edgardo guy. For that reason, I didn’t worry anymore. Besides, she confirmed it herself.

After getting everything ready to receive my mother as she deserves, I’m going to make sure that my dear niece takes a shower so that she’s ready too. I’ve already taken one, so I’m just sitting on the lounge chair waiting for them to arrive.

At that I hear the doorbell ringing in the living room. How strange, my sister has keys, no need to knock on the door. Maybe it’s Mika, who comes early to accompany me to receive my mother. Over the weekend, when I saw her at work, I informed her that she will be discharged today.

I go to the door to open it, without first noticing if she is my friend or not. As soon as I open to welcome him with a joyful smile, my face changes from joyful to bewildered. The asshole is standing in front of the entrance of my house. The worst part is that he has one of those smiles that I hate. Furious, I try to stamp the door on her attractive face, but my attempt to do so fails when she stops it with her foot and then pushes it with one of her hands. I’m reeling from the impact. I step back and stumble. I almost fell to the ground, but the asshole manages to grab me by the waist with one of his arms and surrounds me with him. I take a breath. He’s already inside my home. The worst of it is that I can’t kick him out. She has me well held and glued to her body. I manage to notice that her other hand brings her busy with a bouquet of purple orchids. Stunned by that detail, I don’t understand what she’s doing here and with some flowers in her hand. He leans down a little to kiss me. I try to react to push it, but I fail; I can’t move it. He cuts more the distance of our faces. When his lips are about to touch mine, I hear a few steps and then an exclamation of amazement.

“Oh, Lillie!

It’s my mother’s voice.

My eyes are opening from the impression.

Oh no, I forgot that little detail while I was getting carried away. I am still clinging to the chest of this majestic man. I forgot that my mother and sister were on their way and the door is completely open.
