On Wednesday night, we decided to invite Kendall and Wesley to come eat at the house because the next day, we have the option of dinner and then, we don't necessarily start so early so we won't be more tired than usual. 'habit.
Together, Mike and I prepare dinner for tonight. We didn't really pull out all the stops, we just tried to do something special that they might like. We're not going to quibble, our average age is 21, we don't just have to do that.
As I finished changing, the apartment doorbell rang. I press the button to open the door to the building's entrance for them and wait for him to go upstairs. There is a knock at the door and I'm glad to see they've arrived together.
" Welcome to our house ! I launched, happily.
" It's nice ! Kendall raves as she looks around the room.
I take their coats which I hang on the coat rack then I lead them to the sofa. I feel like I'm in a relationship with Mike, he who comes to greet our guests and offers them a drink. Once they have ordered, Mike returns with a tray containing our four glasses filled with different substances.
"I can't wait to start the first research for voyage +" I said.
" Me too. I have long dreamed of being able to travel and it is a bit complicated with my family. Kendall explains, smiling at me.
I don't dare ask a question for fear it's too personal for her to answer.
"So you live together?" asks Wesley.
Mike nods, smiling mischievously.
"Isn't that a bit…weird?" »
"Um...no, why would it be?" I replied, curious.
" I do not know. A man and a woman in the same apartment when they are not together, there is reason to ask questions. »
I laugh reminding him that I have a boyfriend, River. Besides, I had the latter on the phone just now but our conversation stopped after 15 minutes, no longer wanting to tell him about my day.
After taking a long aperitif, we go to the table. They both seem delighted with the meal so I take this opportunity to talk about the option and above all, the trip. I'm afraid that we won't manage to agree on the destination of the trip and that scares me.
“What is the destination you would like for the first trip? »
We all think for a moment before Kendall speaks first.
“I thought that since Wesley and Mike want to go to Los Angeles, maybe we could start there for the first trip. Then, do Las Vegas, as you wish and lastly, Hawaii? »
“I think that's a great idea, Kendall. » Supports Mike looking at her.
Am I dreaming or is he flirting with her in front of my eyes? What are those smiles they exchange? I hallucinate. I turn to Wesley to see if he agrees. For me, I think it's pretty good. Starting with Los Angeles when the weather is still nice there seems fine to me and Las Vegas is by no means in question.
Wesley and I agree. So we're ready for tomorrow's class. Before we go to dessert, I leave with Wesley to show him around the apartment.
“Are you in a relationship with Kendall? I asked.
He laughs and shakes his head from side to side.
" Why ? »
I shrug my shoulders. I would have preferred them to be together. I'm afraid Kendall and Mike will end up messing around and I don't like that. I want us to stay focused for the group and the trip, without there being a problem between us.
We go back to the biggest room of the apartment and I see Kendall with Mike laughing in the kitchen. They both take it upon themselves to bring the chocolate cake to the table. Mike cuts it into several parts and puts one on each plate.
I don't know why but I'm pissed off at Kendall and Mike's behavior. They look like real kids, seriously!
" It's really delicious. Who cooked? »
"Jade made the cake!" »
Kendall turns to me and compliments me. I thank her and eat in silence. I'm in a bad mood. I'm going to waste the evening making my bad head like that but I can't help it, it's stronger than me.
Kendall keeps glancing at me while Mike and Wesley don't seem to notice my bad mood. So much the better !
After eating, Kendall asks Wesley to return. He immediately accepts. They came by the latter's car because Kendall lives on the way.
They give us a kiss and leave, not without giving small signs of the hand. I go into the kitchen and start doing the dishes. I suddenly feel my handle grabbed by a hand and I have to turn to face him.
" Leave alone. We'll take care of that tomorrow, Jade. »
I shake my head and try to get back to it before being stopped by Mike again. He's already pissed me off, he should stop otherwise I'm going to scream and this evening will end very badly.
He flips me violently against the edge and my lower back slams against it. I raise my head to look him in the eyes. He reaches his hand gently over my face and pushes a lock of my hair behind my face.
His eyes are so dark, it's unbelievable. They are beautiful. He is simply beautiful. He dominates me so much. I'm sandwiched between the edge of the counter and his body, and I absolutely couldn't move if I wanted to.
"Jade…" he breathes softly against my skin. "Leave it, we'll take care of it tomorrow..."
His words send a breath on my skin, which sends me a multitude of shivers. I don't think he is aware of it, fortunately. I lower my shoulders, nodding.
I don't understand. Usually, if someone orders me something, I rebuff them and do it, but here I obey. I may simply not have the strength or the courage to face him, he impresses me so much. He could tear me to pieces if he wanted to, but he doesn't scare me that much. He just impresses me. I guess it's different.
He smiles and strokes my cheek before pushing aside for me to pass. I just go to the bathroom to take a shower, dry off and... no, I'm not getting dressed, I forgot my pajamas in my room again. I don't want to take the risk of going out like this. I still have the clean underwear I thought I'd use this morning lying on the floor. I take them, put them on and grab the t-shirt that serves as Mike's pajamas. It comes to my mid-thigh, should be fine.
I walk out and gently close the bathroom door. Turning around, I come face to face with a muscular chest.
Shit.
