Chapter 18

I closed my eyes and let my body guide me, I stepped gently towards the centre of the house. I felt a soft hand grabbing mine, taking me to the kitchen. I let the small hand take control over me, I felt pushed towards the empty room and a powerful smell of food hit my senses. I opened my eyes and for a second I could see her again, behind the kitchen counter, turned to the stove, focused on her cooking. I approached slowly, afraid of making her disappear. I was so close to her, I wanted to touch her, to fall on her back and embrace her with my arms. In the blink of an eye she was gone and my body could pay attention to the real world again, I noticed two hands on my shoulders.

-Vivien, are you okay?

I turned to Marcus' worried expression, I looked around realising that my mother was never there.

-Yes, I'm sorry, there are so many emotions about this place.

-Is it okay that I brought you here?

-Yes, this is the best surprise you could make, thank you.

I tiptoed and kissed him.

-Would you like to see the rest of the house?

-Of course, it...it changed a little since I've last been here.

It was only then that I really realised the changes, the counter was still there, but the furniture was different, new. All was freshly-bought and even the colors were changed. I walked to the entrance again, our family photos were replaced with those of people I've never met. The downstairs bathroom was a pantry. I went upstairs and directed myself to my room, only that now it had a new owner. It was the room of a little girl, all pink and with a small bed in the corner. I pointed my parent's room with my eyes and approached it slowly. I opened the door balancing myself on the edge, it was almost like before, the same brownish-purple furniture, only newer. Marcus came by my side and stuck his arm around my waist.

-Here is where we are going to sleep.

-Here?

-Yes, only if you think that small bed can fit us both.

He smiled but became serious in an instant when he met my straight face.

-Or, if you don't want to sleep together, I can take the small bed.

-No, it's not that. This was my parents' room.

-Oh...

-But I'm okay with sleeping here.

-Are you sure? I was serious about the bed.

I chuckled and turned to him, facing him.

-I know you don't want to.

-Yeah, I don't, I really don't.

I laughed and kissed him then parted myself from him and went to the centre of the room.

-Should we bring the things?

-Yeah, make yourself comfortable, I will take care of the things.

I took a look around the room, walking from the wardrobe to the nightstand and sitting on the bed. I laid myself completely on the bed and stretched a bit my body, when I noticed Marcus coming into the room. He put the luggage down and smiled.

-Should I join you?

-The real question here is if you are allowed to.

-Well, Miss Collin some rules are made to be broken.

He said and came on the other side of the bed, laying on it and coming towards me. He sneaked his arm on my hips and down on my belly, I shivered and turned my head to kiss him. Our lips matched like they were made for each other and as he raised his hand towards my cheek he slowly moved it on my body. I turned completely to him letting him more access to my body, he moved his hand from my cheek back on my hips drawing the curves of my body with his fingers. His lips parted from mine and moved to my neck going down until the décolletage of my shirt. I felt his cold hand on my skin under my shirt going upwards, I moaned in pleasure when he suddenly stopped.

-What happened?

-We'll have plenty of times for this, let's explore the city.

-Well, we'll have plenty of time for that too plus we explored it before.

-Vivien, do you really want this?

-Marcus, I'm not a...

-Oh.

-Is something wrong?

-No, I didn't mean it that way I meant do you really want to do this with me?

-Yes, I really do.

Without a second thought he pushed me on the bed and took off his shirt, he then started kissing me fiercely, more passionate than before. I responded him in a hungrier way than before, showing him how much I wanted him. He grabbed my shirt and took it off revealing my skin and, putting his hand at the centre of my belly, he started kissing my neck, working his way down my breasts. I felt his hands sliding under me in the search of undoing my bra, after a short click I saw my bra flying across the room. His big hands caressed my sides, grabbing my waist in a perfect match and his mouth travelled down my left boob until I could feel him sucking my nipple. I moaned putting my hands in his hair and then quickly transferring them to his back, he grabbed them and held them still above my head. While one of his hands was capturing mine, forcing me to stay in one place, his other was walking down my body circling my boobs and belly. He stopped at my pants' zipper and with slowly moves unzipped it forcing me to give him entrance with his hand. I moaned as I felt his hand inside me and fast taken out. He let go of my hands and took off my pants completely. I got up and unzipped his taking them off, then I directed my head upwards and kissed him.

-Do you have a condom?

-Uh, yeah I think wait.

He got up and searched hurriedly in the luggage.

-No, I don't think I have.

-It's okay. I said taking my panties off and throwing them at the side of the bed.

-I don't think it's a good...

He turned back and saw me, fully naked, laying back on the bed and slowly parting my legs.

-Are you coming?

-Yeah...

He took off his boxers, his boner already visible through them, and came in front of me. He leaned and gave me a sweet passionate kiss before I could feel him entering, I screamed of pleasure and he grabbed my hands again, making me feel like a prisoner, his prisoner.

After we finished we decided to lay for a little bit more in bed, cuddling, we were both so tired. I turned to Marcus so I could face him, his eyes were closed, trying to rest after the love making. I put my hand on his hair caressing him, he caught it and kissed my palm.

-Do you feel like exploring now?

-Shhh, close your mouth.

I laughed deciding to leave him rest. I stayed there watching him sleep until my eyes felt heavy, I fought it as long as I could but in the end I gave up and fell asleep as well.

I woke up a few hours later and looked at the other side of the bed, Marcus was gone. I stood and put a loose shirt on then went downstairs. Memories fled in as I felt an irresistible smell of food. I hurried to the kitchen, the image of my mom printed into my eyes, but as I entered the image transformed. The well-known kitchen became the new, modernised kitchen I saw here and my mom suddenly changed into Marcus. I approached him easily and looked over the counter.

-What are you cooking?

He looked behind surprised but then smiled instantly.

-Do you have lust for pancakes?

-Sounds good. What type?

-My special, you'll see.

-I didn't know you have a special.

-There's still much to learn about me. Help me set the table?

-Sure.

I took two plates from the cupboard and put them on the table then went to the drawer and dragged two sets of forks and knives.

-Done.

-Great, now sit down and get ready to be amazed.

I sat at the table and Marcus came with the pan still frying, he took his spatula and placed a big, fluffy pancake on my plate.

-Fluffy pancakes?

-It's more than that.

He put one for himself too and then sat ready to eat. I cut a piece and I was surprised to see that it had chocolate and berries in it. I took a bite, the fluffiness was fulfilled so well by the sweet aroma of the chocolate and berries.

-These are delicious, you are a really good cook.

-Well thank you, it's an honour hearing this from you Miss Collin.

We both laughed.

-So I was thinking, how about we go to a club?

-A club?

-Yeah, you know, do something fun while we're here.

-But I'm 17.

-Don't worry about it.

He smirked and I responded with a playful smile.

-Ok, I'm in.

After we finished our pancakes we went to get ready. I put on a tight, strapless, black dress that I found packed in the luggage. I felt Marcus behind me as I was looking in the mirror, he took my hair away and placed a small kiss on my neck while catching my waist in his arms.

-You look amazing.

I smiled and turned my head in the search of his lips, kissing him shortly.

-Where are we going?

-That's a surprise.

-Another one?

-You'll like it, now let's go.

Without any word we went out, locking the door behind us. We went to a part of the city I didn't know. It looked like one of the poor parts, with a lot of people sleeping on the streets and suspicious guys in the corners. Surprisingly, the place we went to didn't resemble any of the other buildings, it seemed slightly newer. We got in without any problems thanks to one of Marcus' friends who worked there, I wanted to ask him how he knows him but I decided that it wasn't relevant at the moment. We danced all night, having fun between the loads of people, until we got tired and went to the bar. We drank countless number of shots, transforming the shot drinking into a competition. At the end, Marcus offered me to get a room upstairs as we were both too drunk to drive home. There, in the small hotel room, we did it again before falling asleep.
