Chapter 59: Ellie

Adrian was on time. He picked me up outside at exactly seven o'clock. I let him pick the movie, boosting his ego. He paid for the tickets and refreshments and headed into the screening room. It didn't surprise me when he picked a back row.

Halfway through the film his hand started wandering over my thigh, and he began whispering what he was planning to do to me once we got back. I was gradually regretting that I told Claire I was all right with this. My recent encounter with Tobias was hard to forget. He ravaged me, and now I was cosying up to another man that could never mean anything to me. On the way to the cinema, Adrian tried his best to woo me, regaling me with the plans he had for us, telling me that he wanted to take me to Paris and Venice. At first I thought it was some patter that he used on his conquests, but slowly I began to realise that he was serious, or at least he was making out that he was interested in pursuing a relationship, not just sex.
