Chapter-21
Cherish's POV:
later,
I tried to sleep in the bed, as Riccardo just placed me in the bed. He covered me partially with the comfort, he didn't spoke word the entire ride.
Riccardo switched off the table lamp as he said, "You should sleep, Cherish... don't think about today too much."
He was about to leave, I found myself grabbing his arm. I said, "Riccardo..... don't leave me alone..."
I faced him as my eyes got teary because of everything. I said pleading, "please..."
I don't know why, but everything can't be like this. I don't want to feel lonely.
He feels like he will protect me, he will never abandon me.
I need that right now.... at least right now.
Riccardo looked debating, but he got in the bed finally. He slept beside me pulling me closer to him.
Riccardo said, "Wife.... I said.. don't worry.... I am here...."
I know...
I am glad in some sense.
Whatever you are... you didn't hurt me till now.... never ask for anything in return.
I think, you don't have any bad intension against me....atleast I HOPE SO.....
Riccardo was looking at me so was I.
I had lot to speak, lot to complain... but will he listen my story.... or dismiss me as my brother did, saying I am just a burden... and selfish too.
or he will betray me like my father...
Or Accuse me like Wade.
He sad placing his hand my cheek, "Sleep...."
I asked instead, "You lied.... about your hand...."
He pulled his hand off me, he looks like he is guilty.
But I don't feel bad about it, I am just thankful he saved me.
I hugged him as I said, "You hurt your knuckles today... so it's not a lie either....." I embraced him searching for some comfort.
I felt his hand caressing my head, Riccardo said, "I didn't wanted to lose you..... I admit... my actions were childish..."
Wade's POV:
I kept the glass down, giving up on everything.
I sat on the floor as everything became too much, I lost her.
I lost the women I love, she betrayed me.
She said she loved me, but she married some rich old guy.
Cherish, why you did this to me?
What I said to her in anger?
I need to call her, I need to talk to her. I need my answers, I need my girl back.
She cannot leave me, she has to love me..... I can't live like this.
I called her again, but her phone isn't connecting. I hate every moment of this, where did I lack?
Where did I lose her?
Why would she choose someone else instead of me?
I felt someone's hand on my shoulder, Helena sat down near me. She whispered, "Wade.... look at yourself?... why are you suffering when she doesn't care?"
I pushed her hand off me, I said, "Helena go home.... I am fine..."
She snatched the glass from me as she said, "Wade, you can't drink... you know that...."
She moved her hand on my shoulder as she said, "Why would you care for a cheater?"
I said to her, "Shut up.... You don't know her... like I do...."
I hoped I knew her.... but did I?"
Helena made me look at her, she whispered, "Wade.... she might be doing god knows what with her rich oldie husband... why should you be sad, when you can get back on her betrayal...."
I looked at her questioned, or I am not in sense. She pulled me over her as she said seductive, "I will fix everything... You just need to be with mine...."
Cherish's POV:
I said, "So... your arm can get injured... I though you can just fake it..." I taunted.
But I do see the red marks on his hand from last nights fight. He beat up the man for me. He looked cool and now this injury didn't bother him.
He knows how to fake a injury well.... why doesn't be a actor instead.
Riccardo wore his tie, he said, "You have still lot to learn and enjoy off me..."
I scoffed holding my hand around my chest. Riccardo walked to me, he placed his hand on my cheeks, he said, "Rest for the day.. You look pale.... and don't think much about anything... nothing is your fault..."
He placed a kiss on my forehead, I got butterflies in my stomach, He said, "Even if you are wrong... I will make it right for you...."
I looked in his eyes as if I asked, 'Promise'
But I am sure my questions didn't got out of my mouth.
Riccardo bent down placing a kiss on my lips, this time it was a slow gentle kiss. I closed my eyes, I don't want to kiss him, but neither I want to pull away.
I said, "Riccardo.... I don't want... want to stay alone.... will you..."
I lacked words, I whispered, "Whatever..." I tried to leave the situation, but instead I collided into his arms, he whispered, "If you want something... then just ask, Wife.... I will scarifies myself for you..."
I whispered, "I .... I don't want to be alone.... It's lonely...." He removed his coat as he moved away, Riccardo said, "Let's go for a movie...."
Few hours later,
I whispered as my eyes were glued at the screen, "I didn't knew you had a private theater...."
I hated some part of it, it's not as fun as watching movie in real theater. But it's kind of nice too.
I really had no idea, this castle has everything, every f*cking thing.
Riccardo didn't said much, the movie is about to end. I noticed he was texting someone, he kept the phone down annoyed.
I hated that too, why is he on phone?
Riccardo said, "I should just fire Fred...."
He turned to me as he said, "You were saying something...."
I looked back at the screen pretending not to care. I rested my back, getting comfortable. I felt his hand on my hiar.
Riccardo said, "We should do this often..."
I scoffed, I taunted, "Like I watch the movie and you be busy with the phone... sounds nice?"
I saw surprise on his face, then he smiled a little. He whispered, "... she is cute...."
Is he talking about me?
Riccardo said next, "I will remember... to switch off my phone next time..."
I got up saying, "No need... it's boring, I am going to drink..."
Riccardo grabbed my hand stopping me, he said, "You are mad, Love...."
I looked at him on this, I whispered, "No... just bored...."
I am ignoring his lies about his hand injury because he saved me. I am grateful... that's it.
I poured myself a glass, I can sense his presence. Riccardo said, "Don't drink too much, Wife..... it's not good for you..."
I rolled my eyes, I said, "Fine then.... drink with me, I will stop when you stop..." I smiled at him, knowing he won't agree.
Riccardo sat in front of me, He poured himself a drink as he said, "You will stop when I stop....."
I nod as I said, "And... If I still want to have a drink... I will share a secrete and ... then you won't stop me for 2 more drinks..."
He glared at me, I smiled saying, "It's like a drinking game.... and if you want you can share a secrete too..."
He scoffed. He said, "You can't fool me into this... but let's see how long you will pay, Miss. Diamond..."
I gulped my drink as I said, "Isn't my fake name sexy?" I laughed in the end.
I heard his voice, "it is ... but I find Cherish more Sexy...."
I coughed a little.
30 minutes later, I laughed as I was trying to tell him something from past.
I had few drinks with him, His ears look red. I think.. I think My face is red too. I may had had little too much of alcohol.
I told him about 2 of my childhood secrets to get few more dinks.
Now I am going to tell another one, I still want to drink some more. Riccardo said, "Ok... this is enough.." He seems little drunk. Like not crazy drunk but a little I guess.
While My world is already blurry.
I said "Listen... listen.... This one worth it......So.. My... My... college enemies... car got destroyed over night..... I did it..." I laughed remembering those days.
Riccardo chuckled looking down. I said, "I spilled ugly pain on it... then scratched it all over....." I laughed more. I was no thankful that I didn't got caught.... but it was worth it.
Riccardo said, "You are.... a troublemaker, wife...."
I rested on the chair, trying to be sober. But I don't think I am.
Riccardo said, "I have secrete too..."
I looked at him, he said, "I knew you before first time I met, you.... I saw you in back of Isaac's car.... and I knew I want to live rest of my life with you...."
I looked at him, I got up to him, sitting on his lap. I am drunk or what...
What I am doing?
Riccardo was looking at my face, I collided my drink with him a little, as I drank it all. I saw Riccardo doing this same.
I whispered in his ears, "My first kiss was boy from my kinder garden... I was 4...."
I laughed as I buried my head in his shoulder. I felt him holding me, supporting my silly movements. I tangled my arms around his neck, trying to control my drunk brain.
He grabbed my face to look at him, he said, "I am a jealous man, wife.... I don't care who it is.... you are mine..." His eyes tell he is serious, But he is little drunk too.
I laughed as I swing in his arms. I said, "I am not scared of you, Husband......"
I teased as I got brave all of a sudden. I got up resting on the bed, I sat there crossing my legs looking at him as If I was achieving something.
I smiled at his stunned face, I said, "Husband.... does suit you....... You are little handsome..... actually... a lot..."
I laughed, I said, "But .... but ... little bit controlling... lie a lot.... and cunning husband.... My dear husband, but you seem to care a lot...." I chuckled myself as I was achieving something by making fun of him.
Riccardo rushed to me towering me, then all of a sudden I was flat on the bed as he was on top of me.
I think we both has lost our senses.
Riccardo said as he rubbed his finer on my cheek, "Say it again.... call me yours...."
I looked at his passion filled eyes as I whispered, "Mine..... My Hubby..." I didn't knew, but the last part came out sexy.
He leaned to me as he whispered, "Yes... my wife...." He kissed me as if he was waiting for me to say that. He was living to pour his passion in me.
I felt his hand on my waist moving up, I tangled my hand around his next, as my legs wrapped around him.
He parted kissing corner of my mouth as he said, "My Angel...." He looked in my eyes as if he was talking to himself, "Those eyes...."
I said to him, "You talk too much...." I pulled him to me kissing him again. His hand went to my hair pulling me little away from him, he still want harsh.... but quite gentle.
We both are drunk in alcohol and lust.... I don't think I care at this moment.
Riccardo said, "I love these eyes...... don't stop looking at me ever again....."
I felt him connecting our lips again... as if this was the natural thing to do, these were our instincts.... the night never ended.... the bed sheet scattered on the floor, but the passion didn't vanished from the room.
I was just filled with warmth, that I didn't care, I just want to be in his arms for now, where I was safe, I was beautiful and wanted.... where he didn't abandoned me... nor he mistrust me...
I need this kind of affection, anyways being in his arms wasn't bad for my drunken mind.
Riccardo was right, I didn't knew what I need.....
Riccardo's POV:
The head ache pulled me off my sleep, I was going to sit up as I was feeling thirsty. I felt her warped around me.
I realized she was hugging me as we were bare in the bed, the room had scattered garments all around. I looked at her and I realized what had happened.
Sh*t!... Sh*t!!!! F*ck!!!
Our first time can't be when I was drunk. I wanted to wake up and fix things, but I realized how close she was too me, The comforter was doing his job perfect to cover her up.
But her that cute godly appearance me my mind stuck on her. Did we really...
My mind stopped questioning things when the blur images of last night flashed in my memories.
I noticed her tiny displease voice. She was about wake up, the best thing I could do out of panic was to pretend asleep.... so I did.
I heard her annoyed movements for few more seconds, till she grasped.
"No... no... no"
"Stupid.... stupid.... stupid... girl..."
"Cherish Derosa.... are you stupid..."
"What I am going to do...."
"No... please... god... give me some mind... no... no.... Am I crazy...."
I heard her whispers.
I couldn't take her panic, I sat up but she tried to flee. I pulled her closer to me, she was almost on top of me, holding the fabric close to her body.
I said looking at those shinny eyes, "Why so worried?..... I don't want you to regret anything.... even went I didn't wanted this to happen this way... when I was drunk...."
She looked so surprised, but I asked her instead, "Did I hurt you last night?.... Was I rough?.... does is hurt somewhere, wife?... should we"
She covered my mouth with her one hand as she said, "No!.... don't speak...."
I realized how shy and panicked she was. Her eyes showed her unusual behavior. I kissed her hand, she pulled them away from me as she said, "Are you insane!!!!"
I pulled her on top of me, I said gripping her lower waist feeling her closer, "We are husband wife... there is nothing to be wrong.. this is natural..." I kissed her cheeks again.
She said, "Let go you dog!!!... You have no shame...." I smirked I know, she failed to realize the she lost the fabric covering her body.
I placed her under me by a flip, she grasped in surprise. I perked her forehead as I said, "I get a good view for a good morning.... Wife..."
I saw her trying to cover herself with her hands as her cheeks turned red again, I covered her with the comforter. I said, "Good morning , My Lovely...." I walked in the shower, thinking how I managed to control myself out there, when I was ready to ravish her again.
