Chapter 25 Five: By the River

Adam

When I saw her rushed out I knew something was terribly wrong. Excusing myself, I rushed after her. She was a good distance ahead of me and I wanted to catch her up but when I saw that she had run into the ladies' room and closed the door behind her, I knew that she didn't want me inside with her. Calling her name, I waited for her to answer. I raised my fist to bang on the door when I heard a thud in the bathroom.

“Emily,” I shouted, but there was still no answer. Holding on to the door handle, I prayed that the door was open and no one else was in the bathroom and nothing bad had happened to her. Turning the handle, I was relieved that the door was in fact opened because I knew she was famous for locking doors. Poking my head inside, I saw that she was on the floor and that the bathroom was empty.

Stepping inside, I knelt down over and gently shook her. There was no response and I immediately started to worry. Going over to the sink, I turned on the tap and took out my handkerchief from my pocket. Wetting it, I went over to her and dabbed her forehead.

Stirring a bit, she opened her eyes and sat up. “Emily, what happened to you? Why did you faint?”

“I am having premenstrual syndromes.”

“So that's what made you faint? That’s why you ran out Because you are having premenstrual syndromes?” I asked in an unsure tone.

Nodding her head, I got up and took her hand, and lifted her. Holding her in my arms for a few seconds I let her go. I knew she was lying but I wasn’t going to pressure her to give me an answer. When she was ready I know she would be telling me what happened. For now, I would be giving her the benefit of the doubt. All I know for sure that whatever she received on her phone had made her very frightened and afraid so much that she had fainted.

“Do you take something for premenstrual syndromes or should I take you to the doctor?”

“Uh, I am fine now. No need to bring me to the doctor.”

“Can you make it back to the meeting or should I bring you back to the hotel?”

“I am fine, we can go back to the meeting.”

Taking her hand, we walked back to the meeting where Mr. King asked me if she was okay.

Telling him that she had an upset stomach, we began back our meeting.

Two minutes later it was finished and we both got what we wanted out of the deal.

Shaking his hand, I told him that we will be back on Thursday to give him the contract. Exiting the building, Emily and I both got back inside the car we came in and went back to the hotel. Stopping in the dinner hall, we ordered a burger and fries for lunch. While eating, I saw that Emily was checking her phone every few seconds and I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy in my chest which was a new feeling for me.

“Are you waiting for someone to call you or text you?” I asked annoyed.

“N-No, I just–––it isn't important,” she stuttered out nervously. Sighing inwardly, I wondered what could have made her this shaken up. Looking at her, I saw that she checked her phone one more time before putting it away. Looking up at me, she gave me a smile that didn’t reach her eyes before she took a sip of her soda. Making small talk with her, she let out a yawn and I realized that she was still tired. Getting up, I took her by the hand and led her back up to our room.

Striping her out of her clothes, I got her dressed in one of my shirts before I made her climb into bed, making sure that the room was dark enough. Stripping out of my clothes, I went to take a shower before I climbed into bed with her and within minutes I was knocked out. Waking up a few hours later, I climbed out of bed and went to look out the window. It was dark out and I couldn’t help but admire the night sky. Letting my gaze linger for a few more minutes, I went to take up my phone and check the time. It was now seven pm which meant that I was sleeping for six hours, which was new for me. I hardly ever sleep in the day and if I do it wouldn’t be so long, I guess Emily had worn me out more than I thought. Hearing Emily’s phone goes off, I looked over and saw that she stirred before getting up fully and sitting up in bed. Taking up the phone, she started smiling.

“My mom says I should tell you, hello and she hopes you are taking good care of me.”

Chuckling, I replied. “She doesn't need to worry, I am taking really good care of you.”

Laughing, she placed her phone on the bed before getting up to take a shower. Looking at the phone, curiosity settled in and a wondered if I should check her messages to see what had gotten her to faint earlier. Thinking back, I know I saw her looking at her phone before she sprinted out of the conference room. Torn between waiting for her to tell me and not invading her privacy had gotten me irritated with myself. Choosing the latter, I decided that I was going to let her tell me when she was ready. Coming out of the bathroom, I saw she was about to put on my clothes when I told her to get dressed in something casually.

Nodding her head, she went over to her room and emerged a few moments later in a black skirt and blue top with black flats on her feet. Putting on some jeans and a white t-shirt and black converse shoes, we left my room together and made our way to the lobby before exiting the building. Walking over to the next block hand in hand on unto the path that led to the river, I couldn't help but feel that someone was watching us.

I had that strange feeling come over me and I turned to look back but saw no one. Thinking it was paranoia, I saw that Emily was looking over her shoulder while her body was shivering.

“Are you okay?” I asked curiously.

“Yeah, I am. Just a bit chilly.”

Drawing her closer to me, I led her down the path. Reaching there, I started taking off my clothes.

“Strip.”

“Huh?” she asked confused.

“I want to go skinny dipping with you.”

“What?” She shrieked. While she watched me get undressed.

Taking off the last of my clothes, I walked up towards her and started taking her out of hers. When she was undressed and naked, we walked into the water that wasn't cold enough for us to get hypothermic or freeze us to death.

Splashing the water at her, I heard her let out another shriek and her face was set in a scowl.

“You made my hair get wet,” she cried.

“Emily, I am so––” Splashing water at me, then tackling me, her actions cut off my words. Going underwater, I came up a few seconds later panting for air before I started laughing. She had totally caught me off guard and I had something in store for her. Holding up my hand in surrender, I moved over to where she was before I drew her close to me and then latched my mouth around her nipple which was now hard. Gasping in surprise, she tried to push me away but my hands were planted firmly around her waist and my mouth latched tightly on her sweet succulent nipple.

Moaning from the way my tongue was now twirling around it, she arched her back. Gripping her waist, I lifted her up and her feet went immediately around my waist. Sliding my cock inside her, I began kissing her while I ran my hand over her ass before squeezing it. Giggling into the kiss, I began to gently move her back and forth on my cock. Moaning more loudly she threw her head backward and my cock hit her g–spot. Gently taking her off my cock, I was about to spin her around when I heard a splash in the water.

Looking around I saw no one, but I continued to hear splashes in different areas of the water. I turned just in time to avoid a stone that almost hit me straight in the head. “Who the fuck are you?” I screamed but I got no answer. Seeing something move by the tree that was nearby, I squint my eyes and saw that someone was there. Charging out of the water, I ran straight for the person, but they had taken off. Going back, I saw a nervous Emily getting dressed.

“It may be some local boy who was playing a prank,” I tried reassuring her. I saw a look that I couldn't explain–– a look that shows that maybe she knew who it was. Getting dressed, I lead her back to the hotel.
