Chapter 45: Chapter 45

BRIANNA

When I woke up in the morning I found myself in a different place. I looked around confusedly then last night’s incident flashed in my mind. How I came to Emerson’s house and lost my virginity to him. But where was he?

I picked up my clothes from the floor and went to the bathroom to put my dress on. After freshening up I came out of the bathroom and headed out to look for Emerson. Sweet aroma of freshly baked cake hit my nostrils so I advanced towards the kitchen only to be shocked.

Emerson was standing before me wearing an apron. Though he was wearing sweatpants, I could see his bare back. He has a nice body. I didn't notice his body last night. Now I couldn't take my eyes off his body. I wonder how it would look from the front.

“You are awake?” I was brought back from my trance when his voice fell on my ear. And I was amazed when he felt my presence without turning back.

“How did you realise I was here? I know I don't make noise while walking.” He chuckled and turned back to face me.

“My heart says.” With a grin he said, making my jaw fall.

I scoffed at his words. “Your stupid heart.” I rolled my eyes in annoyance but from inside I was grinning to know that.

He shook his head smiling. “Sit on the table. The breakfast is ready. Let's enjoy our first breakfast.” Him mentioning the first breakfast reminded me of his words he said last night.

“I’m so honored to be your first. Thank you for trusting me with this. Get ready for the best first time ever.” I could feel my cheeks heated up thinking about our passionate night we spent together. And I must say I had an incredible experience with him last night.

Before he noticed my crimson red cheeks I turned around to go to the table and settled down. He brought our breakfast and settled across from mine.

“Thank you for the food.” With that saying I dug in my plate.

“What next?” I looked up to see him confusedly not getting what he wanted to say.

“I mean what have you decided to do after your divorce?” He asked.

“Umm, I haven't decided yet. I will go to France and spend some time there then join my father's business.” I gave it a thought and shared it with him.

“Hmm. What about us? Shall I consider it our last meeting?” I looked up to see his face. There was something in his eyes that was hard to read. He was holding unreadable emotions in his face. I was speechless not knowing what to say.

He was a stranger I met last night and even lost my virginity. It was just a one night stand.

“Maybe. It was just a one night stand for me. We had sex last night out of lust. If we ever meet again in the future then just pretend to be strangers. It’s better that way.” I made it clear to him so that he doesn't become clingy after spending a night with me. When I decided to give him my first because I was hurt and frustrated.

“If you say that it will be that way. But let me drop you at your place.” I gave it a thought then agreed as there was no harm going back with him to Jaxon’s house. And I would be glad if Jaxon saw me with him. Then he will understand how I felt every time I saw him with Lauren. But will it affect him when he doesn't hold any feelings for me?

After breakfast we headed out and got into my car. He started the engine and drove off. I was looking outside the window when he suddenly asked me.

“Will you forget about me?” I was stunned at his question. But then shrugged my shoulders.

“I don't know. Maybe, I will remember you because you were my first.” I said casually.

“Am I a bad person?” I snapped my head to look at him.

“What happened to you? Why are you asking me such questions?” I asked but he didn't look back at me.

“If I ask you to be my girlfriend will you reject me?” I gaped at him. Is he proposing to me? Has he lost his mind? I didn't know he would become clingy to me after having sex.

Oh Goddess!

Where am I stuck!

“I told you already it was just a one night stand for me. It doesn't matter to me at all. You are not a bad person but I don't want to be in a relationship now after what I went through all these years. I'm fed up. I want to live alone and enjoy my life.” I tried to make him understand and he just pulled the car to a corner and looked at me. The place was near the woods so it was almost an isolated place.

“Give me a chance to mend your broken heart.You know why hearts broke so that someone can mend it. If I'm not a bad person then give me a chance to mend your heart. I like you, and trust me I won't break your heart. If I ever do then you can kill me with your bare hands.”

Emerson said, looking right into my eyes. And I was bewildered not knowing what to say. I always wanted to be loved by Jaxon but he never loved me back. And when someone asked me to be his girlfriend I was afraid to get heartbroken. Because what Jaxon did to my fragile heart it feared to trust anyone else.

He held my face tenderly and looked into my eyes. “I can understand, you need time. I'm willing to give you as much time as you want. I can wait for you. But I don't want to lose you. When I saw you last night, I understood you are the girl that is made for me. I felt like you are the missing piece of my heart that will make me complete.”

His words touched my heart and I didn't have the heart to say no to him anymore. Then there won't be any difference between Jaxon and I.

“Okay, but not now. After I come back from France, attend my cousin's wedding then we will start dating. I also want to know how it feels to be loved.” His face beamed and he didn't waste a second and pressed his lips over mine kissing me.
