Chapter 10

April

He was coming at me and i was too flushed to retreat. The kind of shock that hits you when you're caught stealing meat from the kitchen pot by your mum except this time i wasn't the one stealing. 

He's the thief.

In case you're wondering what he stole, it's my sexuality. His being is just too hot to ignore and speaking of ignoring, i quickly remembered my self made pact to stay away from him like he was a disease. 

I picked up the towel and made a retreat back to my room. 

"Too hot to handle?" His deep voice filled the silent room with induced echo. 

He's a proud ass, thinks too highly of himself and rude individual. 

I halt on my tracks to give him the reply of the century. 

"Hate to swim with a child" 

Or so i thought. 

I heard his footsteps directing towards me. 

Time to run but i didn't go far when he grabbed my arm, twirled me around, and trapped my body in his arms. My back against his chest. 

"Let me go" i reluctantly said while struggling to break free but it fell on deaf ears. 

His wet body sent shivers down my spine and I didn't know when a gasp escaped my mouth. My whole body betraying my brain. 

"Easy angel" he growled into my ear.

"I am not your angel. Is that what you call all of them?" 

"All of who?" He tightened his hold beneath my tits. 

"Don't play dumb, i am not one of those girls so don't even think I'd sleep with a rude ass like you" 

"I would have believed you if you didn't have goosebumps on your skin and two fucking hard nipples" 

"It's from the cold contact," i said defensively 

"Then your body must be super cold when I'm around you" he softly bit my ear lobe. 

He slowly loosened his grip and then set me free. 

I slowly turned to face and slapped him.

He didn't rub the spot. He just glared at me.

"You're feisty and like a firecracker I want to light up. It's a very desirable trait that has got me interested in you"

He poked his nose bridge repeatedly. 

"Continue dreaming cause that's all it's going to be. A dream" I started to walk away. 

"This feels like the beginning of a really great relationship!" He said 

The next morning was a painful yet sweet reminder of Sean coming over to the hotel at noon for lunch before heading to sightsee the famous Cathedral.

I glammed up in an A-line halter neck silk red gown, pulled my hair up, and attached a ponytail with only gloss on my small lips. 

As the time drew near, I joined the girls in Vanessa's room. 

"Guess Jason is out with the boys again?" Megan said as I sat on the king-sized bed. 

"Yea, they went to the golf field," Vanessa said as she smacked her lips to even the gloss on it. 

"Looks like the guys are having a great time which is why April and I suggested we hit the club tomorrow night"

I nodded in confirmation to what Megan said. 

Sean's arrival was barely five minutes after noon. He joined us under a shaded table in the courtyard dining of the hotel.

"How have you been? You know April is the reason why we never get to see you regularly, " Megan said and Vanessa shh-ed her with an elbow to elbow kick. 

"Don't mind her. So when are you going to ask April out?"

I choked on a gulp of juice immediately. 

I would have thought Vanessa had my back before she spewed that nonsense. 

"Wrong pipe?" Megan teased as she stroked my back continuously. 

It was Sean's turn to feel awkward. He should have known better to accept to meet the girls. 

"April and I aren't like that we are just keeping it casual" 

"But she likes you," Megan said, stressing on each word like a theatrical play was ongoing. 

"Megan" I warned 

"I was just teasing but on a more serious note You guys should quit acting like babies and just date already, time is precious and you both are wasting it" 

Although they all laughed and considered what Megan said a joke, I couldn't dismiss the fact that she just told Sean I like him which is not true obviously. 

"You guys should stop teasing us, it's not fair and you Megan stop making Sean feel awkward or he won't accept to meet up again when next you ask"

This was why I needed to end things with Sean. He's getting too attached and that's a deal-breaker for me in a casual fucking relationship. 

All through lunch I couldn't say much. I mean what do you say to someone like Sean? 

His wellbeing? His dog if he has any? His business? Well like I said those questions are out of proportion. 

"Vanessa, have you seen the red gown for tomorrow night?" Megan asked after we finished eating.

"What red gown?" I asked with a slight knowledge of what they are concocting. 

Megan gave me a leg kick on my knee beneath the table. 

"Ouch sorry, didn't know it was your leg," she said and shrugged her shoulders. 

"I know what you're doing Megan, I am not a child"

"Okay then, I'll say it your way. Vanessa and I would like to excuse you guys so you, April Denver can lead Sean to your room and get shagged before he leaves for NYC tomorrow morning. Our dear April is in dire need of a renewal." Megan walked away fast before I could either reply or kill her instead. 

"Excuse me" Vanessa chuckled as she made her own exit. 

I shook my head in disbelief while smiling at the same time. 

"You know how they can be" I finally looked at him. 

It was the first time I'd spent over three seconds looking at him. 

"I do," he said and I saw the same lustful desire I was wearing in his countenance 

Alone moments with Sean were always awkward. Because we set ground rules, there's nothing we talk about, and that only happens when we gather together with the girls and often orchestrated meet-ups by Master planner Megan because when we fuck, it's fuck and leave. No sleepovers, no strings attached. 

"Let's go to my room and fuck"

"I like you" 

We both said, hurriedly at the same time. 

"What?!" I exclaimed after I took a pause to think about what he said.

"I'm in love you April" he corrected, his gaze fully concentrated on what I'd say.

"Are you shitting me right now?" I looked around in disbelief and something caught my eyes. More like two girls wearing big hats and glasses while peeping and squealing at Sean and I by a corner behind him. 

Megan and Vanessa. Why am I not surprised? 

It's been a while since someone directed the word 'love' towards me. A word that leaves people flustered, makes them blush and all sorts of sweet things made me cringe. 

Don't get me wrong, Sean is a good looking guy and a sex god too at that but us being in love is something that'll never happen because I don't believe in love. 

Love meant vulnerability, self-inflicted suicide, heartbreaks, and all things bad. Love is for the weak and on that note, I stood up...

"I think we should stop seeing each other" 

....and left giving zero fucks about my ruined arousal. 

What did he expect? That I'd come running in his arms screaming yes? Sorry not sorry to burst his bubble.
