I felt a soft yet rough hand holding my left cheek and a nose grazing my right one, when I opened my eyes I was nose to nose with Carl if I dared to move and our lips would touch and as tempted as I was I couldn’t, he hurt me and I can't put myself to make the first move
"okay you lovies we headed out"
that was Viktor, Carl’s dad, everyone laughed and went out, I saw that Mrs Grace was holding Abbi and Jeff was holding Leo. I quickly stood up and nearly fell
"easy there”
Carl held me, can someone please tell him to stop touching me, let alone get close, or even fucken breath the same air as I am please.
We pulled up at this big a mansion the drive way was so huge and on the middle stood a waterfall. We got inside and guess who was here ...yup!! The damn aunt and her child and they were with another girl, a red head, she turned to look at us and quickly ran over hugging everyone and when she got to me, she beamed
"you must be Isabella, I'm Angel " she said that giving me a hug
"call me Bella please " she beamed
"well you and I-"
"Angel get back here" ...you guessed that right that was the damn child
"Mariam would you chill for a second, I'm trying to be something you not"
she spat, you could feel the venom in her mouth *ouch!!* Before things could escalate someone knocked and in came people rolling clothes and what looked like makeup cases
"aah...good that you here, last door on the right, Roy take them "
that was Carl talking, fuck!! I didn't even realize Roy and Tylor we're here
"come on everyone we don't have time, times running out " that was another voice, the blondie !!!the fucken blond I was with Carl in Japan, I felt myself boiling a little bit,
" yeah sure, give me minute "
she turned to walk but stopped on her tracks and looked at me and raised an eyebrow, I stood and looked at her raising my eyebrow too
"uuhmmm...can I go lie down for a bit?" I asked looking at Mrs Grace
“come I'll take you" said carl taking my hand in his, I roughly pulled it back, he turned to look at me and I just picked up my bags
"leave those I take them "
“I have hands I can carry them "
he shot me a very annoyed look and rough pulled the bag from my hands and walked upstairs, I stomped my foot angry and followed him behind, when we got to the room he ordered every one out and slammed the door then locked it
" what the fuck is your problem" I laughed in disbelief
“I don't have a problem"
I was as calm as ever and that seemed to piss him off even more
"damn it Isabella" he punched the wall behind me and that scared and turned me on at the same time, I think he saw that because the next thing I knew his lips were on mine and our tongues were dancing together, an exotic sound came from his chest and I found myself pushing further into his chest ,I wanted to rub my nipples on his chest ,he was fast and quick because I was suddenly coming on his fingers and he muffled my screams by kissing me, he stood ready to pull his pants down when someone knocked on the door
"Carl I need your help”.
He stood quiet and looked at me, he kissed my eye and sighed
“I need to go" I didn't think it were possible to break again. I pushed him off of me and pulled my clothes on, he tried to pull my hand but I jerked it off
“Travis just go please "
you could feel the hurt in my voice, I was close to crying, I don’t know why I'm getting emotional right now. he sighed resigned and buckled his belt then left ...immediately after he closed the door I took the closet thing and threw it on the door and it shattered
A soft knock brought me back to reality, I wiped my tears and opened the door, it was Angel, she gave me a small smile and looked down where the broken vas crashed, I quickly bent to pick them up but she grabbed both my hands and gave me a hug, it was just what I needed because I broke down and cried
“angel I can’t, I just can’t, not anymore" she didn't say anything but hug me until I calmed down.
“now Isabella...look at me, I might not know what happened in here but with the torn look I saw on Carl's face, and now this I'd say something bad happened, maybe not bad but something sure did happen, please pull your brave face on and tackle this like the brave girl I believe you are, I know Mariam would be thrilled to know you sad so don't give her the satisfaction."
She led me to sit on the bed and held my hands
"I've know Carl for so long and he's never cared for anyone like he does to you "
that earned a snort from me, if only he knew, Travis cares for no one but his damn huge and pretty penis.
“did you just say he's penis is pretty"
oooh God kill me tell me I did not just say that out
“ooh yes you did love"
I just got more embarrassed, we continued to talk and decided to do make up and change in the same room, Travis never came back after what happened and I can't decide if I'm happy or sad about that but nonetheless I got ready.
we just finished our makeup, apparently Travis hired them for guess who? yeah. I guess he realized that I don't really like make up so now I'm basically being forced to do it, I settled for a natural makeup, Angel got a face beat, red lipstick and a gold jumpsuit and some stilettos...girl looked fly she had her hair curled, she's gorgeous, I had on brown lipstick, my hair tied in a neat ponytail and an open back gold dress that had a slit up to my thigh and gold heels.
my phone pinged and I grabbed it on the bed, it was a message from River, I wasn't in no mood for anyone today so I just slipped it in my clutch and put it on vibration, Angel went out when I was checking my phone so I had to go downstairs, when I walked out of the room I was glad to see April on the corridor, when she saw me she walked over
"God I swear Carl wants to kill me right now"
she probably saw the confused look on my face because she elaborated further
"he sent me here to get you, he seemed worried that you wouldn't come so I agreed to get you, although was kind of afraid to come knock on your door since I heard something shatter and the angry look on Carl scare me really"
okay...I was totally embarrassed
"you head that?"
She gave me a sorry look
"yeah... probably everyone on this floor "
oh God...now I'm more embarrassed
“oi!!!" She pointed her finger at me "now don't go being embarrassed on me, I know Carlos, he brings the worst in people, I can't imagine how angry he makes you feel since you to are married"
that made me laugh ... at least I'm not the only one thinking that, we walked together down the corridors laughing when suddenly I got knocked over and almost landed on the floor with my face but hands caught me before I fell
"easy there "
I paused, stood still, he helped me up and I was star struck, suits should be a sin on a demi God like this, he pulled me up but his hands never left my back, since I was wearing an open back his hand was on my skin and I'll be damned if I say that didn't do me good
"ah!!! mistletoe"
I heard what I can only say was Abbie's voice, music stopped and I felt like all eyes were on us
"Carl..."
he looked up and a sly smile made its way to his mouth, Abbi and the other kids chanted
"kiss, kiss, kiss"
I was so embarrassed yet I wanted to see what he'll do.
“well...let's give the kids what they want " he didn't wait for me to respond before he smashed his lips on mine , everything faded and it was just me and him alone my hands made way to his hair and I tugged at it he gasped and I took that as an opportunity to slip my tongue in ,it wasn't later on that someone coughed to get our attention and little giggles I came back to reality and when I looked around everyone was looking at us and I went all shades of red ,I buried my face on his chest and he chuckled and kissed my head
"now don't go all shy on me now"
I pulled back and looked at him and the smile was still there, it looked good on him he caressed my cheek and kissed my forehead.
He took my hand and we made way downstairs, I had my head down, I didn't want anyone to see how embarrassed I was, he led me through a sea of people busy greeting them.
It looked like a charity ball for orphans, that’s nice, the ball went on and on it was time to eat when he pulled me to go outside
"what happened in Japan?"
okay? I wasn't expecting that
"what do you mean"
he rubbed his hands on his face and turned to look the other way
"you didn't enjoy it right? That's why you regretted today" he wasn't asking but telling, I gulped because Japan is a sore wound. I honestly thought he was going to talk about River.
"uuhm...I don't think -"
"Please Bella, I need to know was it not good, was I not good enough?"
I felt my heart drop to my stomach. He looked pained and in that moment it clicked, he didn't leave because he regretted, he left because I made it look like it was not good
'carl no..." I touched his face
"it was perfect, nothing like I dreamt of, yes that's not how I planned it would have happened but I couldn't ask for anything better " I saw relief wash over his face and he let out a heavy sigh of relief...
"come I want to show you something" he grabbed my hand and led me to his car ....
