Chapter 5: Chapter 5

I get to the hotel and start thinking about how I will find him in such a big hotel. I get forward to the reception but a girl pushes me a little and excuses herself at the same time with me.

" Are you Leaticia Nomsi? Oh my God, can I have an autograph on my book?" She says gladly.

I smile and take a pen then sign her book. It's always ba pleasure to do this.

" I love your book ABOVE All, keep on!" She says before going.

I thank her and turn but find Marco on my way.

" Hey, Leaticia what are you doing here?" He asks me while removing his eyeglass.

" Um, your boss called for me!"

" Oh I see, he isn't in his room now, he is at the swimming pool!"

" At night?"

" Don't ask me why cause I don't know!"

" ( Chuckles) alright thank you!"

He welcomes me and I get to the swimming pool. Already there, I found no one at the swimming pool and everything seems calm. I keep my handbag on one of the chairs, and it seems he isn't at the swimming pool. I walk up to the swimming pool while shouting his name. I approach the pool and bend in front of it, to see my reflection on it. The water suddenly checks a little and I try to wake up but a hand pushes me to fall inside the water.

God, I don't know how to swim. I try to get out of the water when I hear someone laughing beside me while holding me. It is Derick, mocking at me after acting like a dick. All I want is to put his head into the water forcefully for him to die. I agitate my hands and wipe several times my face, my dresses and body are completely wet and Mr. Smith is there mocking at me. I beat his chest several times with anger swallowing me.

" Are you crazy? How dare you?" I yell getting out of the pool.

" It was just a joke, Lea!" He says under a chuckle

" Don't you see is only funny for you?" I say annoyed.

He stops laughing and hangs a towel behind me. I turn and before taking the towel, I could admire his well-drawn chest and his biceps contracted with a tattoo on it, wet and spectacular with black Bermuda shorts. He is so hot that my anger freezes in front of him, but I still take violently the towel from his hands and get it around me.

" Why are you here?" He asks me.

" If you have nothing to say then let me go!"

" No, wait! Alright, come with me!"

He goes and I follow him while taking my bag and we walk from the reception of the hotel to his hotel room with everyone looking at us wet and walking casually around with towels around us.

We get to the room and I continue getting dry with the towel, then I turn to look at him hurriedly.

"Tell me what you need to say for me to go!" I say rudely.

" You don't even want to sit?"

" No!"

" Okay...fine! You said I didn't check for you after two years Right? But that isn't the case!"

Is he completely joking, I roll my eyes!

" Two years after my departure, I came back to South Africa and search for you,"

I look at him scandalize.

" Lies, you're just a liar!"

" Am not lying Lea, I asked Lily and she told me you went to Toronto for your studies."

" Ohh you even knew I was in Toronto, so why didn't you come and find me?"

" ...it is a little bit complicated to tell you, but now am here Lea."

" Shut up you are a liar!"

" You can ask Marco if you want!"

" No! This is a matter between you and me, no Lily, no Marco, no one."

" Alright!"

We breathe a little after this long and rude word battle. Why is he lying? I wanted him to speak the truth, but yet he is always obliged to lie. Am done with all this.

" You didn't explain yourself at all, so let me go."

I throw the towel and prepare to get out when he holds my hand and turns me to him, forcing my eyes to look at him. I admit I damned miss his stares.

" Leave me, Derick,"

" You know that's what we wanted, be together," he says bringing me closer to him.

" But you spoiled everything!"

" You love me and the ring you kept, is the proof.( Closer to me) and I love you too."

" What made you remember about me?"

" Nothing, cause I never forgot you!" He says caressing my jaw.

He had the power and the ability to make me melt in front of his touches. They are still as delicate as flowers but yet invade chills in my body as winter. I close my eyes to feel the sensation and open them to look at him, at his stares whom I found no way but still want to explore.

" I love you, Lea!" He says slowly.

Those three words missed me.

His eyes still in mine, not wanting to separate, his lips close to mine and want to join. I feel inches, chills, goosebumps, my heart beating at a rhythmic speed. Once more I feel the sensation I didn't feel four years ago. No boy would ever make me feel like that, only him could do that and that is one of the reasons why I waited for him.

He kisses me slowly, profiting from the pleasant moment. I leave myself capture by the tension being high already. No matter the fact I am wet, I could feel heat just in the way he is kissing me right now. I am excited, he too I can feel it. We collide our tongues together, enrolling our hands to each other rapidly changing the slow atmosphere to a lighter one. Oh my God, he missed me so much, I swear!

We Separate a little, still holding each other and taking back our breath!

" Derick…"

" Yes"

" We shouldn't!"

" ...We should!"

The way he said the last sentence invades in me fire, I hold his neck while he holds my waist, rapidly undressing me under our gasps, while kissing my neck, throw ourselves on the bed to savor the intense and memorable moment.

" After you, no one ever slept with me!"

" So consider am the first and the last!"

He continues the dance, finishes undressing me, caressing me, kissing me under my several moans before finally using the condom without us going backward. What was done was done and I didn't wonder if I could regret it…
