Chapter 35 Ruthless
"That seems effective. Now I have you."
He brushed me cheek with his thumb.
"No, that's insane! I used you because I needed to get out of that scandal-"
"Did you use me then?"
I was dumbfounded by what he said. Did I? Isn't it true that in the long run, this is also what I want? Because the truth is that I don't even care about that as long as it is not me. I allowed it because I wanted to too. Because I can't resist being around him, because I'm that selfish to do that stunt just to have him.
"Don't fool yourself Ava. We know this isn't just pretending."
I averted my gaze from him. Conceited Levi Vidalio. He laughed at me again because of my reaction.
"And did you actually believe that?"
"Well what can I do? I didn't hear anything about you since ... that day ... and who knows? With that loads of pretty women around you."
My last words were weak.
"Really? I doubt that, why are you in front of me then?"
The eyes widened as I met the eyes of the two of us. I touched his nape, I caressed his rough jaw. I never knew I can be this happy just by this simple conversation of us. I feel like a child given all the luxuries or desires.
"I told you, I only have my eyes on you."
His hands wrapped on my body. He reached for my lips, it was a gentle kiss, the kind you imagine your first kiss to be, like he did way back in Mar De Vena. That kind that sends tingles on your toes. So light and enough to feel the warmth through the break of dawn. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and the blanket immediately fell over my waist.
"You'll catch a cold, let's go inside."
He said in between our kisses. But I was too engrossed, his lips were addictive so I deepened it. I can feel him wanting to stop because of his reasons but he can't resist at the same time.
It was like a fire that kept spreading and I could not help but feel when his skin touched my waist. I held a whimper when in a snap he scooped me and carry me inside. The blanket I feel on my back as I feel him lift me to where.
"Damn baby, you're still sore, don't make me-"
I'm addicted. More than addicted, I don't know how will I be able to escape this but who cares? I'll be a forever prisoner if that's the case. I felt the soft bed when he lay me down covering my body with his, my thighs still clinging to his waist and the two of us continued to fight.
"Damn it."
He moaned hard as I drowned in his kisses. And with just that, like a flash and volt of sensation I was out of my senses replaced with his burning touches, pain and pleasure. Obviously when I woke up and Levi was no longer by my side. I'm already wearing a white oversized shirt and I'm again on another underwear?
I could almost feel the bitterness of imagining where the things he was wearing on me came from. He has his own stocks for who? My eyes are half open due to the sunlight that passes through the glass wall.
What's the time by the way? I have to go to VREC because I still have jobs left there. I slowly lifted myself up and I immediately moaned. It hurts, alright? The second time we did that I thought I would get used to it right away but it seemed like I was completely torn apart. I smirked at my thoughts.
Dirty, Ava. I looked around, looking for my things. I need to know the time and my phone? Even though my thighs were still sore and shaking I forced myself to stand up on the bed. I felt horrible, but I still manage to walk. I looked around the room, very simple and bachelor type. A single abstract painting on a plain black mirror wall.
The interior is very modern and classy. And knowing that he designed all of this made me admire this more. I entered his bathroom to at least wash my face. Looking at the mirror feels different. My usual pale face is not my view this morning. My cheeks are naturally blushing and my hair is messy.
The eyes will be puffy and the lips will be red. I can't help but to feel conscious. Is this how he saw me all night? I washed my face with whatever product there is, he also has stocks of unused toothbrushes so that's what I used. Seriously, I need to stop thinking about the reason why he seems so ready in case anyone else sleeps here. I just combed my loose hair with my fingers, a blonde strands of hair.
When will I have a project that natural hair color is needed? I'm not liking this blonde hair of mine, I'm looking like a western with my look. Barefoot and with just the over sized shirt that was just above my knees, I walked out of his room.
The corridor are kind of dim while the end of it is lighted. I just followed that and as I got closer and closer I could see the entirety of his suit. I saw from above her living area, the infinity pool is calm. It excites me, so I went down to see the view there but even before I got there the smell from the kitchen caught my attention.
There I continued my walk. I saw Levi, half naked. Busy in the kitchen. I was momentarily stunned by what I saw. Can't choose if this view is better than the view outside.
Oh God, what am I even thinking? With a smile on his face, he looked at me. My cheeks became hot as he looked. I'm just wearing this goddamn over sized shirt, very messy and ugly.
While he's looking like a Greek god doing his thing in the kitchen. He seems to be done, I saw eggs and bacon and a bowl of salad. There's some sliced fruits in the counter top served neat and nicely.
"Good morning. You're up, I was supposed to bring this to you upstairs."
With a few steps he went near me. My heart seemed to melt when he touched the top of my forehead with another kiss. It seems like it's part of my personality, I don't think I'm used to him not doing this to me.
"It's okay. It's just here. I'm sorry I woke up late."
He guided the chair to make me sit there. He just smiled at me while arranging the utensils in front of me. I slightly avoid looking at him because I am ashamed of the looks he gives me. Like there's something behind his smile or more.
"Uhm, what time is it?"
"Almost nine, I guess?"
"Nine? Why didn't you wake me up? I need to go to VREC, I'm late."
"Your boss is having some breakfast with you. You're not late."
My jaw dropped at what he said. Wow. He's really using his power on me?
"I'm serious. I have jobs left that I need to finish. Ms. Almasid will scold me."
"Eat you breakfast." He ignored me once sitting next to me.
"Levi ..." He looked up at me.
"You're not supposed to go to work. You're still sore and ..."
I coughed at what he said and I immediately handed the orange juice to the side. He then just smirked. I started fiddling with the food on my plate that he had placed.
"If you want to go to work then, let's just go after lunch so you can still go to your unit and get some clothes. Or I can just ask my secretary to buy you some."
"I'm going home."
He nodded and just looked at me while examining the food. He's making me uncomfortable. His palm crawled on my thigh and I looked at it, he lowered the hem of the t-shirt that was slightly up because of my sitting. Shocks, I almost forgot that I was just wearing a panty underneath. God!
"I can just go home alone, have a car-"
I stopped to remember how I got here last night. We were just having a blast in the bar and Olivia ...
"Where's Olivia?"
"Your friend? We left her in the bar, at least she can handle herself enough."
"And my car?"
"I got it, it's in the tower of your unit."
I turned my gaze back to the food. Great, so I really don't have a choice but to be with him.
"Eat your food."
I said softly because of the stare he was making at me. I can't focus on food.
"You are not drinking again Ava, not when I'm not around."
"I was just forced."
"Uh-huh? By who? That guy friend of yours?"
"Guy friend?" He raised his eyebrows. I thought for a moment about who he was saying and Liam realized what he was saying. I just shook and couldn't help but grin at the thought.
"I'm not that funny when I'm jealous. I don't know why you're laughing."
He snaked his arms on my waist and I cried even more. I heard him laugh a little when all of a sudden he's tickling me.
The t-shirt I was wearing stood up with the excessive fidgeting made.
"Levi stop ..."
Can't breathe at the laughter that's being made.
"Feels good to hear my name from your lips. What a good morning."
He whispered, he kissed my ears down to my neck. My hair grew at what he did, I stabbed the sliced apple there with a fork out of confusion at what was happening.
"Levi, I'm sill ..."
"I know, I'm not that ruthless, baby."
I looked at him badly but he just mocked me and he bit the apple on the fork.
"I'm gonna take a bath. Cold, cold bath." He smirked.
Damn you, Engineer Vidalio.
