Torn between two

Chapter 3

Elijah’s POT

Dunya... Just a beautiful name and a beautiful girl. She looked cute when she hurriedly walked away from me. I just couldn’t stop staring at her. She’s gorgeous in every way, so very curvy and has the most amazing scent I’ve ever smelt. I can’t wait to taste all of her.

I followed her and took her hand in mine, enjoying her sweet scent. We walked and talked all the way to the front of her apartment building, where she suddenly let go of my hand and turned to look at me. I noticed she was biting her lower lip again; I couldn't help but to smirk at her. It’s was like she was doing it on purpose, as if she knew it was driving me crazy. I wanted to bite that lower lip really bad.

“Umm... So, this is where I live...” She says and keeps looking at me with a shy smile. Why is she so nervous around me?

“Can I walk you to your apartment door at least?” I ask and take her hand back in mine.

After thinking about it for a minute, she finally replies “I guess...”

She holds on to my hand and guides me inside the apartment building. And soon we’re climbing up the stairs. What a view! I could barely keep it in my pants seeing her big, round, and juicy ass bounce up and down. I wanted to squeeze it, kiss it and bite it so badly. In all my years, I’ve never really thought about the saying “ladies first” until now. It just made perfect sense.

I won’t force myself on her, no matter how much I wanted to. This girl was driving me crazy and I really had to control my urges, from the very first time I laid eyes on her. I’m going to wait, till she begs me to touch her body. And by the looks of if, it wasn’t going to take that long. I could smell her excitement and hear her frantic heartbeat; she was really nervous around me and even more aroused.

We suddenly come to a stop on the third floor and she turns to me. “It was really nice meeting you, but like I said, I’m going home alone”. She says and gives me smirk. She is teasing me on purpose, I just knew it!

“I know. I didn’t plan on coming in. I just wanted to escort you home safely”. I say putting my arms around her waist and pulled her close to me. I could hear her heartbeat increase again; this girl is going to drive me crazy.

“That’s chivalrous of you, but I could have gotten home safely.”

“Well, I am a gentleman and I also wanted to spend some more time with you. Can I take you out tomorrow?” I asked and kept looking into her beautiful brown eyes.

“Yeah... I don’t have any plans for tomorrow... Maybe lunch?”

“I’d loved to take you on lunch beautiful, but unfortunately, I'm very busy during the day. I have a ton of work.” I lied to her and already felt bad for it. She couldn’t find out the real reason yet. It’s too early and she would definitely freak out. “How about in the evening?” I continue when I snap out of my thoughts.

“Yeah, why not.” She replies relieved.

We exchanged our numbers quickly and I put my phone away so I could kiss her goodbye. It was late and the sun would rise any minute. I pulled her close again to cup her face with my hands, enjoying her warmth.

Suddenly she gave me a quick peck on the cheek and was about to turn away and get inside her apartment.

“Ohh, no you don’t” I say grabbing her arm and turning her around. I pushed her back to the wall and kissed her lips passionately. She immediately returned my kiss; I could hear her frantic heartbeat again, her amazing scent enveloping me and it was driving me crazy. I need to taste herr badly!

Dunya’s POT

As soon as we exchanged numbers, he pulled me close again and was about to lean in for a kiss. Damn it. I was a melting mess around him. It felt like my heart was about to jump out of my throat. I had to keep it together! I’m not going to sleep with him on the first night we met! I’m going to make him wait, see if he’s really interested. I wasn’t planning on going easy on him.

I gave him a quick peck on the cheek in hopes to make a quick escape, before I invited him in and gave myself to him. But I was too slow, or he is too fast. Suddenly I’m being pushed to the wall and to his embrace. Every inch of my body was screaming for his touch. And being the weak ass of a woman I am, I gave in completely. I kissed him back and our tongues intertwined, circling, tasting each other. I put my arms around his neck sneaking my fingers to his hair, pulling him closer so me.

I felt his right hand going down to my side, caressing my waist, giving it a little squeeze. His other hand goes slowly to my ass, squeezing it gently. Then he lifts my left leg up to his side, pulling me even closer to him as he squeezes my thigh. His right hand finds the little opening between my shorts and top, and he runs his fingers under my shirt, his cold fingers giving me chills.

I didn’t want him to stop, I wanted him to take me right then and there. I needed more. Our lips apart making me whimper from the loss of his torture on them. He starts kissing down my chin, making his way down my neck nibbling. He gets down to my collar bone kissing and licking it and he makes way to the nape of my neck, but he suddenly stops. I hear him inhale sharply and I feel him get tense.

Abruptly he lets go of me and steps back with his eyes closed, breathing heavily. Like the whiny girl that I am, I let out a whimper again. I stand quietly staring at him, gathering my thoughts. What happened? Why did he stop? Did I do something wrong? I shook my head and tried to calm my erratic breathing. I was about to jump his bones, it’s a good thing he stopped...

“I have to go” he manages to say and steps away from me. “Goodnight” He continues and finally looks at me, seeing my worried face his expression changes from pained to that crooked smile of his.

“Good night” I manage to mumble under my breath, as he starts descending the stairs. I walk inside my apartment kind of disappointed. Well not even kind of, but really disappointed. Thank God he had to go; I couldn’t control myself anymore. I was melting in his arms and reasonable Dunya was out of the window.

Why do I do this all the time... It was obvious what he wanted and I was just about to give it to him. Haven’t I still learned anything from my past mistakes? I shouldn't be this easy! Ugh! I rolled my eyes and started to undress.

I was angry at myself, what is wrong with me when it comes to handsome men? I’m spreading my legs for them before I get to know them and their intentions. I always end up thinking, they like me and want to be with me, but the truth is, they always end up leaving me for another after few weeks when they’ve had what they wanted.

I stood in front of the whole-body mirror and looked at myself, feeling disgusted by the person staring back at me. What is wrong with me? Maybe Elijah was different, I mean he did leave before anything could happen... Or did he realize I was too easy and decided I wasn’t worth it? Why did he leave...

Deep in thought, I noticed my phone was beeping. Picking it up, I noticed two messages from Elijah.

Elijah: Sorry that I had to leave so quickly... You’re perfect and I couldn’t control myself.

Elijah: Can’t wait to see you tomorrow. Be ready at 8pm, I’m picking you up.

Me: It’s okay, I get it. Where are we going?

Elijah: It’s a surprise. Goodnight beautiful ;)

Me: Okay... Goodnight :)

I couldn’t help but smile. All my gloomy thoughts disappeared.

“Hi again” I heard a women's voice and opened my eyes slowly so I wouldn't be blinded by the sun. I look to my right side and I see Layla standing there smiling at me.

“Hi...” I respond and keep looking at her. She looks even more beautiful than yesterday.

“I saw you laying here and thought I’d come and apologize for my bluntness last night. It’s just that, I saw you speaking with that guy and felt the need to warn you of his kind.”

“Umm okay... Thanks, I guess.” I reply carefully. “Like I said yesterday, I can take care of myself. But that was sweet of you.”

“No, no. I didn’t mean it like that. Of course, you can take care yourself.”

“It’s ok, no harm no foul” I smile at her. She seems nice and sweet for taking care of a total stranger. Us girls have to stick together. Even though, Elijah didn’t strike me as a bad guy, but I get it.

“I don’t know many people in this city, would you like to hang out?” She asks enthusiastically.

“Yeah, why not. You seem nice and I’m new here and don’t really know anyone. Company is always welcome” I reply giving her a smile. I sit up straight take a sip of cold water as she lays her towel down beside me.

**

We sat on the beach for two hours talking about everything. Turns out, we have a lot in common, like the same taste in music, we both like to cook and bake, and of course worship the sun! She’s visiting some family here in Athens, and suggested she’d show me around whenever I'm up to it, since she practically grew up here, spending every summer holiday with her grandparents. She even offered to look after our stuff so I could go for a quick swim.

I just had to dive in and let the salt water do its magic on my skin, even though I knew my hair would curl up again. The water seemed to calm my restless soul and I felt like just floating there for hours.

It felt like I could talk to Layla about everything and I just knew we would become best friends right away. She’s just one of those people, you seem to bond with right away and the silence between conversations didn’t seem awkward.

She told me about a great ice cream shop near the beach, where she was supposed to meet her big brother later on and invited me along. Well, she did invite, but she didn’t leave me much choice, because now, I’m being dragged after her. I loved how she gets excited so easily, she’s just like me.

I ordered a vanilla soft ice cream, my favorite, and stood next to the small, but apparently very popular ice cream kiosk. After she pays for hers, she turns towards me with a huge smile on her face. I turn to look where she is staring and my mouth drops wide open. It’s the God and he’s staring straight into my eyes all tensed up. What is he doing here? And why is he popping around everywhere I go?

“Dunya! You two have already met, well sort of, this is Danny.” She smiles with her arms around his waist.

“Yeah, your boyfriend.” I quickly close my mouth and stutter to her. She starts to laugh and I can see him smiling at me confused.

“Eww. No, my big brother.” She quickly corrects me and shakes her head. I stare at them and my mouth makes an *O*. “Did you really think we were together?” She asks amused.

“Yes. I mean, I you two seemed really close...” I managed to spit out, embarrassed for assuming and now that I look more closely, they look so much alike.

“Daniel” he manages to speak up and reaches to shake my hand. It speaks! I thought to myself and tried to hold back my amusement.

“Dunya” I reach to grab his hand. As soon as we make contact, I feel this huge spark that shoots up my arm and down my spine, almost making me jump up. I quickly pull my hand back in shock. What the hell was that??

We stare at each other and I can see he felt it too, because he looks just as confused as me. Danny and Layla exchange a look and then look back at me curiously. What the heck was that? Zeus, is that you? I shrug and smile at my own joke. Me so funny, I think to myself trying to contain my amusement again.

“Let’s try that again.” I say and squeeze his hand, feeling sparks all over my hand, spreading through my body. The goosebumps are intense and they seem to intensify even more. I shrug at the feeling, look down and see that my hand looks like a kid’s hand next to his. I quickly pull my hand away, before I get electrocuted by his touch.

After the quite literal shock, Layla starts to praise Daniel while we take a seat at the kiosk seats. I feel Daniel’s eyes on me, he doesn’t even bother to turn away when I look at him. I feel the urge to tell him to take a picture, it certainly will last longer, but manage to calm my pants. I mean why am I even complaining, this God of a man is staring at me. ME!

No, no, why would he be staring at me? Is there something on my face? Is my hair all messed up? I did just go for a swim and let it dry all naturally, it’s probably all over the place. Thank God I’m at least wearing sunglasses; I don’t want him to see me all naturel.

I’m snapped back from my thoughts when Layla says she has to go and that Daniel would keep me company. Wait no! I can’t be alone with him. I’ve barely managed to say a whole sentence to him! Before I can say anything, she’s hugging me goodbye and leaving us sit there.

“So, tell me something about yourself.” He suddenly asks.

“Umm... Like what?” I mutter awkwardly.

“Anything.” He leans back on his chair and smiles at me. “Where are you from, what are you doing here?”

“Finland, I came here after a job just few days ago.” I managed to reply. “What about you?”

He looks at me intrigued. “I didn’t know Finnish people were so exotic.” he says with a raspy voice and smirks “I’m Half Greek and half American. I’m here on a business trip and also seeing some relatives.”

God he’s hot. He’s huge even though he’s sitting down. His white t-shirt is so tight, you can see every inch of his muscles. That must be one hell of a material, to remain intact around his bulky arms. His sunglasses are once again hanging on hist shirt, pulling it down enough for me to see little bit of his chest hair. Ohh, what I would do, to rub that chest of his.

His hair is fixed backwards in a messy style. His eyes resemble the ocean so much, you could drown in them. Everything is perfect in him, even the dark circles under his eyes.

I manage to get back to reality, as I notice he’s still staring at me with a smirk. How long did I stay quiet and just stare at him? I’m like a teenage girl in all of those rom-com movies having a day-fantasy.

“Well, my adopted parents were Finnish, my birthparents were from Iran.” I blush and manage to mutter. “What kind of business, if you don’t mind me asking?”

“Well, my father owns an international company called Jones enterprises inc. We specialize in communication technology and eco manufacturing. As I’m about to inherit it all one day, I’m here to ensure our Greek office is up to standards.” He answers so quickly, that I barely manage to keep up.

Rich boy, of course. No wonder they were sitting in the V.I.P. section last night. I finally feel the ice cream melting down my hand and because I have napkins around, I lick it up. Of course, I tried to do it lady like but luck is not on my side lately. I was hell-bent on embarrassing myself lately for some strange reason. Trying my best to not look like a cow while I lick the Ice cream, some of it melts right down my cleavage. This isn’t the first time, something like this happens. My boobs are so big, that they work as a bib for me.

“woops” I say clumsily and try to wipe it off quickly before Daniel notices my clumsiness. As I wipe it off, I notice him all tensed up with gritted teeth. He is squeezing the table between us with both of his hands and I start to worry for the poor table's life. It looks like it’s about to snap in half.

“Are you okay?” I manage to ask with a furrowed brow.

“Yeah” he replies letting go of the table awkwardly “Muscle cramp” he stutters and shakes his leg as if I actually believe that excuse.

Okay weirdo.
