Bipolar Attractions

27.

The rays of sunlight reflect through the exposed part of the window, as they brighten my eyes, and pull them awake. I groan lightly, as my eyes meets with the white ceiling of the room I’m in, followed by the naked body of Vera whom sleeps next to me.

I put back on my shirt, before getting up and walking away from the bedroom suite and into the parlor of the hotel room, where I place an order for breakfast. My eyes roam my environment and my brain recalling the events of last night, and how I went from craving Romeo, to laying in bed with a stripper I met at his club. 

I won’t say I’ve never been with a woman before, as the last time I did, it was before Ryan died, and since he came into my life I didn’t see need for any. 

Up until now. 

Like I said, I’m not interested in ladies doesn’t mean, I can’t be in bed with them. My interest meaning that, I can’t have more than a s****l relationship with them, but as for the opposite gender, I date men and can be in bed with them.

I run a hand through my hair, replaying events of my feelings yesterday and how I almost succumbed to Romeo’s words easily. Truthfully, if I’m to be asked why I’m still holding on with being in bed with Romeo, especially when I know it can get me closer to him, I certainly wouldn’t know the answer to that. 

Would it be, I fear for it to become an entanglement or something else?

“Hey,” my attention snaps away from my thoughts, as my gaze moves to see Vera leaning by the wall and staring at me with a smile. Her naked boy still on full display, as it gets me a smirk on my lips.

“Hey, did you have a good night?” I ask Vera as she walks closer to me, before taking the space next to me on the couch. 

“I did. And did you?” Vera asks me with a smile, while I return it back, and still yet not answering her question as I may have had a good time, doesn’t mean I’m satisfied. My words in my head, but my lips not able to tell Vera that, as even if I do deny it all I can, I fancy Vera. Not in a relationship kind of way, but a friend.

“Perhaps.” Is all I reply Vera, as I watch her chuckle with her deep gray eyes brightening with her actions, and I realize how beautiful she is. Unfortunately, what we have can not go beyond this.

“Don’t be so stiff Aurora,” Vera speaks as her chuckles die down.

“Stiff?” I question Vera with a raised brow. “What makes you think I’m being stiff? I add, now facing Vera certainly.

“Well, from just knowing you for a day, I can tell you’re not one to open up easily or at all.” Vera says, and I see myself going quite.

“Well Vera, with the nature of my work which I know you know what I do, I can’t open up to just anyone.” I tell Vera honestly.

“I know that, yet, don’t forget you can’t live your life alone. You’ll get bored.” Vera says and I chuckle lightly.

“Oh my life is anything but boring isn’t part of it Vera.” I answer.

“Not that kind of bored I mean,” Vera say, as she moves an inch closer to me, and I watch her whole body, from her blonde hair, down to her fair skin. Seeing Vera, I’m reminded by my former self, and how innocent I had been, one which I see while staring at Vera’s eyes, could also be a reason why I also fancy her.

“Not everything is work related Aurora…and I know your nature of job does require the most of you to be tough, especially being a woman.” Vera says and all I can do is listen to her speak. “It is a mens world and I’m not questioning what you might have gone through to be where you are today, but what I am saying is, don’t live your life alone.” Vera repeats her statement as her eyes lock into mine.

“I hear you Vera.” I smile at her, feeling her words come genuine at me. Vera smiles back at me, while she brings her body closer to me, until her lips are touching mine, and my hands move to stroll around her bare skin. “I have to get going. Work awaits me.” I pull away from her, as she only smiles in understanding. “My life is more complicated than you think Vera, and I would want to know you more, but it will be better we keep our relationship to be just for needs. Do you understand what it is I mean?” I speak to Vera, feeling to eradicate any sort of attachment, for I fear for what new relationships can cause me now.

“I understand perfectly Aurora. You can call me anytime you feel like.” Vera responds making me pass her an appreciative smile. 

“I appreciate that Vera,” My hands caress her thighs with a smile on my lips. “I’ve ordered breakfast for you and some money for you to take care of yourself in the room.” I add, while Vera nods with a smile. “I’ll get dressed now.” I get up from the couch and away from Vera.

I put on my clothes, as from the room I hear a knock on the door, as Vera comes in to pick a towel to cover her body while she goes to open the door. From her discussion, I hear it to be the hotel service, bringing in the breakfast I ordered. I pack my black hair into a bun, before picking up my keys from the shelf and into the living room, where Vera begins to eat her food. I send Vera a light smile, not knowing the next time I’ll see her, before I exit for the door.

“Aurora,” My attention turns back to Vera as I stand put in between the hallways of the hotel and the room Vera is in, after hearing Vera call my name. “Be careful with Mr king. He’s not all he seems.” My eyebrows furrow at Vera’s words, as they take me by stun, yet, I don’t say anything but nod attentively and walk away.
