Chapter 7 : The desk " Sooo ? Talk me about the cute neighbor ? " " It was good , we went to a simple place , nothing special , but I had such a good time . Rob is quite nice , and he also has that Bohemian style that I like I explain to Suzy . " Wonderful " " Exactly . Although ... there was no kiss when we said goodbye . Maybe I am expecting more than I should ... it was just a date " " And about your almost date ... you know your ex friend at our door ... " " Damn , Suzy ... that was ... I don't know ... I am totally lost girl " " It's weird ... he came looking for you . By the way , how does he know where you live ? Would he really regret that kiss ? " Good question , none of the Fairfax came to my house , and I doubt my sister told him . " Of course Suzy ! He'll say it was the drink , the time , the celebration ... or whatsoever she doesn't know him like I do . Well , I used to know him ... now I really don't know who Ethan Fairfax is . I have to say that every time he shows up , it baffles me , On the date with Rob , I kept seeing Ethan's face , his expression when he saw me leaving , he seemed upset and disappointed . Why should I be thinking about him while I'm on a date with a guy who treats me well ? I guess he's a guy who's used to getting his own way . When I got home , I saw the bouquet in the trash . I have to say, I feel bad . " Anyway , Priss .. maybe you should listen to what he has to say , don't you think ? That way you won't have to guess what's going on in his head all the time seems like a simple suggestion , but it's not . Damn , I really don't want to talk to him . I'd rather try on a mini - dress in a fancy store that's clearly for very small , very skinny girls than see him again , much less talk to him about ... that kiss . But I have to say that what Suzy is saying doesn't sound so far - fetched . Maybe if we talk , I can understand what's going on . Maybe I could still avoid Lily's wedding and just see him occasionally at work . And that would be it . I'd think about him , because I'm not fooling anyone , I think about him all the time ... and Ethan wouldn't look for me anymore . He doesn't care about me in the least , I'm sure . " You might be right , Suzy , it might not be a bad idea to talk to him once and for all . " " You'll see , sometimes facing our fears frees us " she says with a happy tone . " Wise and beautiful ... you are the best * " Okay , maybe ... maybe next time I see him I'll let him talk . " I say when I suddenly hear footsteps , the warehouse . " Is something ? " I heard on the phone . * I think I hear footsteps , I'm going to hang up , we'll talk at home , kisses , bye " There is indeed someone here . It's probably not the most mature behavior , but I've been hiding under the desk where I've been working lately . I don't know if I'm making the wisest decisions these days . What's wrong with me ? Unfortunately , it has to do with Ethan , it's his fault ... his return has thrown me off balance . Slowly I see some big black shoes , no doubt of a good brand . Oh no ... are you kidding me ? " Prissy ? Are you here ? " his voice echoes and I have to admit it makes me shiver . That voice ... his voice sounds really hot . " I can see your shadow , Prissy , " he says , kind of scolding me . Great , Miss Piggy hiding under a desk . Amazing ! With what little dignity I have left , I get up from the floor and try fix my clothes on as soon as I'm standing . There's not much to do with my 173 P P Chapter 7. The desk overall appearance , messy hair ... old clothes ... anyway . Suddenly I remember what I somehow promised Suzy ... to try to talk to him . Damn , I hate doing things I don't want do . In my defense , I didn't think it would happen so soon . " I can't believe it ! You actually hid under the desk ? " He says ironically . He seems to be in a better mood than yesterday , although he doesn't stop looking at me intensely . " Actually , from everyone . I have work to do , " I say as I stand in front of the desk and lean against it . Ethan's expression doesn't change , he just keeps looking at me with a look I still can't figure out . " You wanted to tell me something , right ? Well , you are lucky . I'm all ears , I tell him , and he raises an eyebrow . He crosses his arms over his chest and I can see the muscles under his shirt , the collar and a little of his golden skin . Focus Priscilla . " Yeah ... I'm pretty lucky " he says , fixing his eyes on my cloth . Great , ugly Priscilla again . " There are actually a lot of things I want to say . But I will start by saying that motorcycles are extremely dangerous , Princess . " " Really ? That is want you wanted to say ? " I simply replied after rolling my eyes , " Anything else ? " My irreverence seemed to bother him , because he came closer to me . Not exactly the effect I was looking for . It seems the opposite . He's getting closer and closer , and I feel nervous . " I think you don't understand ... it's not a silly thing , you shouldn't ride a motorcycle , especially with a stranger . You could have an accident , for what ? For a simple guy ? Nothing is worth putting yourself at risk for , " he says , as if lecturing me . Yeah , yeah ... " a simple guy " . He fully knows what a simple guy can do , as if he hasn't already hurt me . How dare he ? He has a lot of nerve ! Does he think he can come and tell me what I can and can't do ? Thanks , Ethan , but I'm a big girl who knows what she's doing . And Rob is no stranger , he is my neighbor " I say , crossing my arms in spoiled girl mode . He stares at me angrily and comes closer until we're a foot apart . I can smell his perfume again , see the strands of his dirty blond hair up close . His eyes go to my figure and he have a wicked little smile . " Yes , I'm aware ... I've already noticed that you're quite a ... grown woman , " he says in a tone that's a seductive whisper , and something stirs inside me . Sweet god . He takes another step , I try to move away , but in reality he is very close . I feel like his leg is almost touching mine , and the small space that separates us is filled with something else ... something I can't describe . Tension , energy , electricity . I swallow hard and see his eyes go to my cleavage . I am wearing a tank top and my arms are crossed , showing more of my cleavage , pretty obvious . I quickly put my hands on the edge of the desk and he smiles again . He knows I'm nervous because of him . And the bastard loves it . " And as for your silly friend . He's just a boy , a simple neighbor . He doesn't know you ... he's nobody " he says gravely . He stares at me so intensely that I think he could pierce me , and for a brief moment I'm afraid he can read my thoughts . It's stupid , but I'm afraid . " And you ... What do you care what I do ? " I say , trying to put some distance between us . Without success , of course . I feel his knees almost touching mine , he leans into me , his hands on the desk , cornering me again . How did I end up like this ? He whispers into my ear , so close I could swear his lips were brushing against my skin . I remember that kiss ... goddammit . " Oh Prissy ... I'm interested in everything to do with you . Absolutely everything . Much more than you know . You and I will see each other more often ... we will be close , very soon " I gasp . He looks so comfortable in his defiant attitude . My heart beats fast as I look at his eyelashes , his large pupils , his expressive eyes . 2/3 D Chapter 7 The desk I can even see the beautiful texture of his shirt , it seems so smooth . My eyes go to those lips that kissed me yesterday . He just bites her lower lip , almost hypnotizing me . Is so sexy ... and he even touch me . " What ... do you mean ? " I ask with my throat dry . " Don't you know ? My parents specifically asked me to invite you and tell you personally that they won't take no for an answer . Lily actually needs you ... " " The wedding ? I don't know , I ... " " You have a dress fitting for the wedding ... you know , bridesmaid stuff . She'll send you the address tomorrow , " he says , looking at me intensely . I feel him coming closer and whispering in my ear . " What ? " " I'll see you again . I'll wait for it , " he says , and I feel goosebumps on my skin . He walks away , still looking at me . I can still feel his warm breath on my neck and I sigh like a fool . Without realizing it , I think I'm shaking . Fear ? Excitement ? Terror ? I still can't decide . Dress fitting ? When did my situation get worse ? I hate trying on clothes ! Not only does Lily probably have a lot of tall , skinny friends , but now I'm definitely engaged to a wedding I don't want to go to , and I'm going to run into Ethan a lot . Basically , he was right ... I'm going to see him over and over again . I am completely , completely lost . Chapter Comments Cherisse Battles 7 days ago Now THAT is how a diva exits !
