2. HOME TO HIM
STELLA’S POV
“Hello baby, I tried as much as possible to sound alright.
“Hello baby, hope you are almost here. I can’t wait to kiss you again and hold you in my arms,” Caleb was all lovey dovey with me.
The piercing gaze of Erman made me guiltier than the way I was feeling. I had kissed another person yet the man I loved most is waiting to hold me.
“I will be home soon baby. I can’t wait to kiss you either. I love you so much Caleb.” I confessed with tears raining from my eyes. How could I allow myself to mess like this?
“You should have told him that you were kissing a guy you met at some point in you campus life,” Erman said as soon as I hang up the phone.
“Shut the f**k up. Coming with you here and kissing you is a mistake!” I mumbled.
“It didn’t look like that a few seconds ago when you were into the kiss,” He muttered an evil smirk playing on his lips.
“Please shut up! It was a mistake coming here with you and I regret it deeply,” I grumbled.
“Come on baby, I loved the kiss,” He tied to pull my hand but I was hesitant. I was not going to mess again. This was a mistake and I don’t want it to recur.
“Leave me alone! Don’t you dare call me your baby or even come close to me,” I warned him in a sharp and a bit enraged tone.
He thought I was joking ill I left the hotel. I took a motorbike back to the station. He called and chased after me but I turned on a deaf ear.
I was lucky to get to the train just before it left. Good thing the error had already been fixed. I rushed into my seat and hoped the train would leave immediately just before Erman come back to the train.
I was in cloud nine when the engine was turned on but my body suddenly become numb when Erman come to the train dripping of sweat. It was clear that he had been running after me or maybe he was running to catch up with the train.
“Never flee from me my love,” He took his seat and I almost spit because of the pungent smell of his swat.
“I don’t want anything to do with you. Please shut up and forget everything that happened between us,” I said between gritted teeth.
“Your lips are very kissable,” He couldn’t just shut up even for a second.
Luckily, I potted an empty seat after the train left therefore I had that chance to switch my seat.
I was about to go and get seated but the owner who had technically gone to the wash room come and sat in there.
Well, f**k this.
I looked at the windows side and forced myself to sleep. I was not going to and this man honestly. He made me sick.
Erman wound his hand around my lower back, jerking my body towards him with one swift motion. A small soft gasp left my lips consequently and then suddenly his lips wee on mine, kissing with an intensity that got to my knees and made my toes curl.
Sweet chills invaded my whole body as I felt his tongue flicker tentatively against mine as if possessing every inch of my lips. It was scary how I loved that damn kiss yet it was with Erman.
I thought all of this was a dream till I opened my eyes and stared right into Erman’s lips.
“s**t!” I cussed
“You loved it didn’t you? He asked with a smile etched permanently on my face.
I shook my head in disapproval and it dawned to me that I was home in Toronto. Knowing that, I completely ignored Erman’s presence.
I quickly applied gloss to my lips before I left the train.
“Stella!” Caleb’s voice eased to my ears once I was out of the train.
I rushed to him and hugged him tightly. It was more of a reunion. Feeling all guilt with kissing another man twice, I cried on his shoulder.
“Don’t worry my love. Everything will be alright. Distance will not separate us once again,” He held me tightly.
“I love you Caleb, I really do,” I said in between the tears.
“I know baby. I love you too. Stop crying,” He wiped my tears and forced me to smile.
He leaned close to me to kiss me and I cannot explained why I dodged off.
“What’s wrong?” He arched his eyebrows in confusion.
“Let us make our first kiss in three years special,” I assured him with a forced yellow smile.
“Okay babe,” He seemed to agree.
Just then, Erman passed by us dragging his suitcase on the tarmac and my heart skipped a beat. I just hoped Caleb did not notice something fishy.
