Chapter 21 : What happened in Seattle II thought he will be after me, chasing me , stalking me . But it doesn't happen . It's been days and ... nothing . Such a relief . That was a mistake , all that night , I was weak ... I don't know what happened to him . But definitely ... that night shouldn't have happened . I have no excuses ... it happened not only because of the moment , but also because I always wanted to be with him . For years , for me , he was the sexiest man in the world to me since I was fourteen years old , And happened what I never imagined becoming true ! I had touched him , kissed him , we had sex and well ... that was the end of it . That was it , I had already come to terms with that idea . But that doesn't mean I was calm and happy , nothing could be further from the truth . I don't have peace . I walked into the office , almost crouching , hoping no one would see me . But someday ... he will return again . I don't know what he was up to or where he was , and frankly ... it hurts , but I fought not to care . " And yes ... that is what happened ... you know between he ... Ethan and me . In Seattle " I told my friends , after avoiding the subject with them for days . " Sorry ... come again ... Tommy says . They were stunned . I didn't give them too many details , just that one thing led to another and we ended up together . They were shocked and asked me a lot of questions , many of which I could not answer . Especially the ones about Ethan's point of view and the future . " What was going to happen now ? " " Why wasn't he there when you woke up ? " " Why don't you talk after days ? It's been days , for god's sake ! " * I don't know , I don't know , and I don't know " that's all I said . No doubt we had some things to work out if I wanted to work them out . For the Priscilla who didn't want to face anything , the Priscilla who preferred to flee cowardly , this situation was ideal . No sight of Ethan , no problem . " That's not the end , you know ... " Suzy says . " You are going to face him ... one day or another Tommy says , still in shock . I hope not , but obviously that day arrives . One day , out of the blue , he showed up . I was quietly working in the warehouse , in my overalls , on the floor , looking at some fabric samples for chairs , when I felt a presence behind me . I thought it was a ghost . Maybe the ghosts didn't know the damage they were doing , while Ethan ... he was fully aware . " Priscilla ... I turned and stared at him as I stood up and dusted off my clothes . Today I was undoubtedly at my worst , but what did I care ? He had already seen me ... almost everything , at least what the few rays of light allowed . Good god . His face was one of deep annoyance , he looked at me with almost contempt , his forehead furrowed . His usually neatly combed hair now looked disheveled , as if he had run his hands through it so many times that his hair was disheveled . Still ... he looks hot . Damn him ! His mouth was a line and his hands were in the pockets of his expensive pants . Something told me that he had hesitated to come , as if he had 1/3 p p . Chapter 21 What happened in Seattle debated it for a long time , and finally he did . " Ethan ... We were silent for a while , he looked me up and down , then he spoke to me , his eyes fixed on the floor as if he didn't want to see me anymore , as if he was forced to speak to me , but against his will . " You didn't come , you ignore me complete. You didn't even write to me , you didn't look for me " - he snaps . What does he mean ? Did I have to look for him ? What did he expect ? He looks at me like a spoiled , annoyed child . What the hell ? " I didn't see you here , " I manage to say , wiping my hands with a handkerchief . I look him straight in the eye , because I have nothing to hide . I can see his jaw clenching , his breathing quick and he looks around as if he's about to explode and doesn't know how to express it . Man ... this should be awful for him . I mean , is not Disneyland for me either . I don't know what else to say , I really don't want to have this conversation , at all . When I'm about to take a few steps away to do something more productive , he speaks to me again . " This is what you want ? That we behaved as if we were a couple of strangers " he says , almost accusing me . How dare he ? 1 refrain from answering that we are indeed almost a couple of strangers . Stranger that share a history , strangers that have sex . Casual sex . " What are you talking about ? I say and look at him . He sighs . " We never talk about what happened in Seattle , Priscilla , we go on with our lives as if nothing had happened . I told you , we need to talk " Here we go again . Considering how difficult it is for him to communicate with me , this will take a while . He runs a hand over his face , presses his fingers against the bridge of his nose , and closes his eyes tightly . " What happened in Seattle ... it can't be like that ... you and I have known each other for a long time . My family ... we have friends ... I just ... I think we should clear things up . Besides , we work together , " he says firmly . Oh boy . " I understand ... I say resigned . He takes some time to think about his words . " I know that maybe it wasn't the best time and that ... it was a work trip with many problems and that day ... that night was complicated , the flight you know ... " he says with a sigh and looks at me , almost begging me to help him . I nod . " Don't worry , Ethan ... you really don't have to say anything , there's no need " he looks at me strangely . We really are two people who really don't know what the other one is going to say , what's going on in his head . " But ...Prissy ... " I know it was not planned and maybe it was not what was supposed to happen between us " I say with a calm voice and he looks at me incredulously . " Do you regret what happened ? " He asks me , almost offended . His eyes sparkle and he crosses his arms over his chest . " I think it was a mistake , " I say clearly and he is furious . * Really , Priscilla ? Is that what you're telling me ? Is that what it meant to you ? " He reproaches me loudly . " Wasn't it for you ? I think is pretty clear " I ask , and he remains silent , speechless . I take it as a yes . I knew it . " It's different , " he admits and closes his eyes tightly , " You ... you are different Priscilla " he says pointing at me , looking me up and down as if what he is telling me is very clear . And suddenly it hit me . 2/3 320 PM p p . Chapter 21 What happened in Seattle Oh God , no . Please , please that he doesn't tell me I'm overweight , that I'm a pig . That it's an atrocity to sleep with me . Those words still haunt me , I remember them clearly , how is that possible ? After so many years ! I could have remembered something else . But no , I remember those infamous words he said to his friends , and the nightmare keeps coming back . " Please .. I don't want to listen . Enough with the first time . Please don't do this to me I respond with a lump in my throat . He stares at me . " What Why ? " he says in astonishment . He's really upset , I don't understand why , it's me he's trying to insult ! Not that I'm going to tell him that I don't like him or that he's too attractive . Or that no woman would sleep with him . Prissy ... he tells me in a whisper , worried . " It was something of the moment , I understand , you don't have to worry ... you would never be with a woman like me , it was a mistake , it shouldn't have happened " I say and it seems as it his eyes are going to pop out . His face reddens little by little . " WHAT ? " he shouts at me , stunned . Enough Ethan , stop it , okay ? I understand , really ... you don't have to bring it up again , honestly , we don't even have to talk about it . You are a man who has all the women you want and suddenly you were ... with me . Nobody has to know about it " I say . He has his mouth wide open in awe , I see him getting more and more annoyed . " It was just something ... of the moment ... something physical . Nothing more he looks extremely offended . But why ? He exhales heavily , makes a face of disgust , and takes two steps closer to me . I can see his face reddened , his forehead furrowed , even his ears red . I can even see a small vein throbbing in his temple . I don't think I've ever seen him so angry . Ahhhh ... I get it. Maybe he expects me to tell him that I've fallen madly in love with him , that it was the best night of my life , that there's no one like him on earth , that I don't want anyone else . Is he angry that I'm rejecting him before he does ? No one should ever reject him , I have no doubt . And here comes a chubby girl to tell him it was a mistake , that I don't want anything else with him . That would be a tragedy . " Is that really what you think ? I can't believe it ! That it was just ... physical ? Just sex ? He comes closer and I take a shy step back . His jaw is clenched and the muscles of his face are marked . To you , I'm ... a player ? A man who casually slept with you ? Is that the kind of man you think I am ? " " Mmm ..... yes ? " He gets desperate , it seems like he wants to scream , kick something , maybe throw a fist at a wall . " I understand Priscilla ... in fact ... is really clear to me now . No doubt , I was very wrong . I see that there was no point in coming here " Then he walks away at a steady pace , and leaves without giving me a last look .
