Being Around You
Mandy
“I am married, I’m a wife now. It happened” I sat on the bed and took off my jewelry, and my shoe.
“The last guest already left, I guess we are free now,” I heard his voice as he walked into the room, I smiled back at him, and took in a deep breath reminding myself of my promise to Mom. I couldn’t just start with my attitude now and push him away. For this to work, I also have to put in effort.
“You need help with your tie.” I offered, but even before he could have responded, I leaned in and started to take it off him…
“Thank you,” he smiled at me.
“My dress, please” I requested and he immediately helped with the zipper. I held onto it, to avoid revealing my bra.
I got changed into the towel, while I sat on the dressing table waiting for him to be done in the shower. My thoughts rambled around as everything started to make me feel a bit dizzy. I gave myself that inner mantra, promising to do better with this.
Immediately he came out. I walked in hurriedly and had my shower. I didn’t spend a lot of time on it. But when I was done, I was dumbfounded realizing I didn’t grab my things here.
“Fuck it, “I cursed and came out with my towel wrapped around my body and my hair, while Christian relax on the bed reading a book…
I started with my skincare, slowly doing it while making sure that Christian wasn’t peeping at me.
“Can you turn your eyes the other way?” I said awkwardly, and he raised the book, and stared at me briefly, before turning his head.
“You do know that we are married right?” He said while I chuckled…
“Yes I do realize,” I responded sharply…
“Then why are you?” He paused and I immediately wrapped myself around my night rope.
“All done, I walked to the other side of the bed and laid on it when he stood up immediately.
“Don’t go, sleep here. I don’t want your mother walking in on us sleeping on different beds, ” I explained to him in a rushed tone.
“Alright, I’ll stay here quietly,” I smiled at him, and turned my head in his direction, while we looked at each other with our heads on the pillow.
His eyes gazed at me, while I looked at him in silence. It wasn’t awkward at all cause it didn’t feel that way, as we both found it hard to take our gaze off each other.
“I just want to put it out here, I really would do my best to see this workout,” he smiled at me…
“And I’ll do my best to make it work out,” I told him in relief and for the first time happy that we are both on the same page.
“You look so beautiful today,”
“You looked handsome too,” I smiled at him truthfully, because I had a hard time taking my eyes off him…
“Goodnight Mandy,” he kissed my forehead and turned off his lamp.
“Goodnight,” I did the same thing, closing my eyes as I wandered off to sleep…

~~Recap~~
I needed to have that talk with Edward. I wanted to understand him, so I decided not to go with Mandy back to NYC. Immediately we waved them goodbye and watched them leave. I turned around to go back upstairs when he grabbed my hand and made me halt.
“Why did you stay?” That was the first word he said to me…Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“Do you want me to leave?” I asked back sharply, hoping we would talk further but he said nothing… I got frustrated and headed for the stairs again, but this time I halted on my own call.
“I didn’t think you would just ignore me even when it was just the two of us. Since the kiss, you have been acting so weird around me. I’ll catch you glances at me and when we finally make eye contact, you pull away instantly.
“You very well know that I want an explanation, but you pushed me and made me feel like, argh,” I was still ranting, when he shut me up with a kiss.
“What!?”
One hand on my hair pulled it lightly, as a little groan escaped my lips. He kissed me with such ferociousness that I felt my legs wobble from it. I closed my eyes trying to keep on with it, fighting the urge to hate the pain I felt in my head, but rather it gave me thrills and such a sensation that I didn’t even want him to stop. His other hands traced lines from my neck to down my chest while kissing me, and I felt my body heat up.
His hands were on my stomach, as he teased me, taking it further like he was about to go lower. I felt alive, I felt pains, I felt adrenaline gushed through my veins and as much as I didn’t want this to be the end of it, I needed to breathe. We both needed to catch our breath.
“I can’t be around you,” he said immediately he pulled away catching his breath while I did the same before staring at him…
“Why?” I asked while he punched the wall frustrated.
“I want you every time. Everywhere around me. I want to perceive your smell, see your smile, and feel your touch,” he breathed close to me while I leaned further at him.
“I can’t freaking control myself around you. You make me do things I promise not to do,” he didn’t even know when he said that while pushing his hair backward…
“Why is that!” I moved closer to him and he took a step backward while I did the same thing…
“You don’t want this,” he said and moved away from me…
“And you would know that because?” I asked him but he shook his head and climbed the stairs leaving me alone with my thoughts.
“Do I want this?” I was confused.
