Two Worlds Apart

Chapter 53

I turned to my side on the bed, opening my eyes as a bright light, probably from the window, hit directly at it.

I quickly covered my eyes and allowed it adjust to the brightness before opening it again. I sat up and looked around the room

God I'm extremely tired

I noticed Eric sitting on the exact position I met him the day I came

He was on his laptop...again

I wanted to speak before images from last night folded my mind

It happened!?

Jesus holy shit

I immediately covered my mouth and I could feel my cheeks heat up

I hid my face just at the thoughts

Oh sweet Jesus

I ran my fingers through my hair

No freaking way

I inhaled a little sharply before deciding to stand up but then realized that I wasn't wearing anything

Holy shit I wasn't wearing anything!

I grab the bed cover and pulled it over my body

He felt me drag the bed cover and he looked around to see me trying to cover myself

He smiled at me "Good morning beautiful"

I couldn't help but smile "Good morning"

He puts the laptop aside and climbs up beside me

"You okay?"

I nod "yeah I am... it's that... I'm..." I look at my covered sef

"I didn't bring and extra outfit because I didn't plan for another day"

"Yeah I got that figured out" he grabbed a shopping bag that was on his night stand and hands it over to me

"Here you go"

I look at him then at the bag

"Wow thank you"

He nods with a smile before climbing down the bed

"I'll let you freshen up" he grabs his laptop and his phone before he leaves

I sigh and place the bag on the bed

It's a good thing he didn't bring up last night, because I'd be very uncomfortable talking about it

I can't believe it even happened....what was wrong with me?

I don't regret it or anything like that, I just can't believe I went through with it

~°~

I finished having my bath and I put on the dress, it was beautiful. I put on my glasses before stuffing my night wear into the bag and brushing out my hair before putting the brush into my bag also

There was a slight knock on the door and Eric walks in

"Are you ready?"

I nod

"I'll miss you" he said

I smile before walking towards him

"Me too. I'll come back for another sleep over, so be expecting me"

"Anytime" he smiled "they'll get the car ready for you" then he walks to the door

Before leaving, he said "the dress looks beautiful on you"

I couldn't help the smile that formed on my face "thank you. I happy to finally have something on" I mutter the last part but I think he heard me

He tilts his head "I don't know why you were such in a rush to put something on, you were perfectly fine without anything last night" he smirks

Oh my...

"You little..." I look around the room for something to throw and he immediately made his way out

Jesus Christ I can't believe he said that

I cover my face with both my hands because it was literally a tomatoes right now

I sighed and removed my hands before picking up my bag, but just then I heard a beep from my phone

A text from someone I was never expecting in my life

"Jones, I want us to talk. I'll send you the address now"
~Theresa Romano

You would expect me not to go, but I was curious as to why Miss Romano would want to talk to me, what business does she even have with me

I arrived at the restaurant and I got led to a specific table located deep inside the restaurant

I first of all noticed her perfectly styled ginger hair before being shown to her by one of the waiters

"Thank you" she smiled at the guy and he did the same before walking away

She immediately dropped the smile before turning to me

"Jones"

"Miss Romano"

She just looked at me up and down before saying "have a seat"

I pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down

She picked up the glass of red wine in front of her and taking a sip

"So.." she puts it down

"Why'd you invite me over?" I wasn't really interested in this whole meeting

She gave a one should shrug "nothing much, I just want to discuss something with you"

"Which is?"

"Eric" she bluntly said

Eric? I let out a dry chuckle "Eric? Really?"

She didn't say anything, just stared at me

"What about Eric?"

"Is true you guys are in a relationship?"

I looked at her like she was crazy "is that...." I just sighed "yes"

I could literally see the vains Popping out on her temples

"So it's true. I'm really disappointed In Eric"

I frowned "what do you..."

She cuts in "he couldn't leave me for someone worth being with but inside he went for...a common seamstress"

I seat up "excuse you?"

"You heard me. My darling look at you, you're not someone anyone would go after, that's why I don't understand what Eric's doing with you"

"Okay that's enough..." She cuts in again

"I feel bad for you because it won't last, either he'd get bored or he'll leave you because his mum will make sure of it"

I could feel my teeths grinding inwardly

"So why don't I make things simple for you" she opens up her purse and brings out a cheque and stretches it towards me

"Here's some money, you'll leave Eric alone and nobody gets hurt"

Okay now she's crazy

She notices I wasn't moving "take it, you obviously need it"

I grab the cheque and tear it to pieces

"You're a piece of crap"

"You act as though you don't need the money" she says to me

"I don't need your money or anybody elses" I stand up, push the chair in and walk away

"I tried reasoning with you Jones"

"Go to hell Theresa" I told her as I walked off and out of the restaurant
