CHAPTER FIFTY THREE.

Elena's Pov.

"Goodbye" I waved, sluggishly.

I opened the door to the apartment after inputting the pass code, which took a very long time, owing to the fact that the numbers were all mashed up together, leaving my shoes on the rack, I turned around closed my eyes and inhaled the air, the not so fresh air of my apartment, I had one too many drinks with Katie, the witch, she lured me into drinking the tequila, but then, the tequila sunrise drink did not have to taste so good, I mean I loved in such a way that I could not help getting more and more and I can not even blame Katie for that.

My head was swirling, I looked at the sofa through my blurred vision, it looked really comfortable, so I walked in a zigzag line towards it and fell on it with a thud, only that it did not feel soft against my body, but rather it felt, hard, sturdy and chiseled.

"That almost hurt you know," A voice said from beneath me, his voice.

"L.. Lorena?" I said and he chuckled.

"Lorena? who the heck is that? are you that drunk?" He asked.

"I am not drunk at all, it was just a slip of the tongue, I meant to say Lorenzo" I hiccuped, covering my mouth with the back of my hand.

"Yeah, not drunk and you had to stagger over here, almost falling over yourself." he mocked, though his voice had a tinge of concern.

I still tried to stand up from his body, but his arm was hooked at my stomach and my butt was on his lower abdomen, he seemed to like the position very much as his hand stayed locked on my body, I tried standing up a second time and it was just as futile as before, I gave up and rested the back of my head on the crook of his neck.

"Let me go," I said.

"Why would I do that, you are clearly drunk. plus, I do not want to let go of you, what are you going to do about it," he asked, I did not see his face but that smug smile was surely there, it had to be, I mean it is part of him, Lorenzo and his smug smile, which I wanted to kiss off his face.

"Am I not heavy at all?" I asked, hoping to break the silence at least.

"You are light as a feather, how come you do not know that, in fact, get up, let me make you some healthy tea, to wipe off the drunkenness." He said and sat up without letting go of me so that I was now sitting on his lap, directly on his member, my eyes widened, will today be the day that we finally....

My thoughts were cut short abruptly when I was picked up from the ground, a moment ago, I was sitting on his lap, and now I was in his arm heading towards what looked like my bedroom, he opened the door with me still in his arms, entering the room (it really was my bedroom) walking inside the bathroom as if he knew every nook and cranny, but then again, he must have explored a bit while I was away.

He dropped me in the bathroom.

"Where is your phone?" he asked.

" In my pocket" I brought it out and gave it to him, with other items that I did not know how they got there.

When I was finally cleansed of all devices, he turned on the shower, the cold water hit me and I immediately came back to my senses, the foggy vision cleared as if it had never been there, I was suddenly aware of my surroundings and the fact that I was still fully clothed. He is so nice and respectful and had not touched me inappropriately even though he knew that he had the right to do so, and I on the other hand would not even voice a word of complaint (for reasons best known to me).

I pealed my soggy clothes off and had a proper bath.

I left the shower, putting on a long and oversized shirt that could double as a gown, and went in search of my knight in really sexy armor. I found him in the kitchen, making tea, sitting down on one of the tall stools across from him, I admired his beauty, something I had come to do more often.

"You seem to be drinking me in, you better not get so full, this tea was made for you, if you keep drinking me in like that, you would not have any space nor appetite for tea." He said, proud as a peacock.

"oh please, I have seen better, you do not need to praise yourself and your ego so much" I rolled my eyes at him and sneered playfully.

"you are in denial and you know it," he said and I smiled.

"Anyway, thank you so much, my teeth are still intact because of you, so thank you" I appreciated.

"What good work did I do for your teeth?" He asked, probably wondering what on earth I was talking about.

"Well, I was so drunk that I almost fell over myself, what if I had knocked all of my teeth out in one of such falls?" I said and smiled a perfect smile.

"So you are thanking me for your teeth, there is no level to your weirdness." He laughed, something that he did only when he was around me, he seemed to take on a whole different personality and aura when he was around me, I smiled at him too.

"Here, have this, it will help with your head and healthy, he handed me a cup of the tea he had been stirring.

" Thank you, this is so thoughtful of you." I sipped it, It did not taste good, but that must be why it is called HEALTHY tea, ugh.

" Anyway, what brought you here today, you did not even call me at all" I pouted, he did not seem affected.

" Well, I decided to not call you, rather come over and congratulate you myself and spend some time with you in the process, only to find you in a drunken state. "He shrugged.

" So you decided to make this poison for me as revenge, noted." I smiled and he chuckled as well.

" Why were you so drunk though," He asked, folding his muscled hands across his wide chest, did I just forget how to breathe?

"I-It was not my fault, that tequila sunrise tasted so freaking good, I had to have more and more," I said, licking my lips, definitely not from the memory of the tequila, but from the view, I was getting off this incredibly handsome man.

"You should really stay away from alcohol, you are not allowed to drink anything that will take your mind away from me, I should be the sweetest and most addicting to you" He placed both hands on the counter and leaned in, looking at me directly, I sipped my tea nonchalantly, although my heart was already disoriented.

"So, you are saying that you are jealous of tequila, real mature Mr." I teased.

"Finish your tea, you seem to be drunk still, how would I be jealous if tequila, you must be crazy" He looked away, I narrowed my eyes at him, what was this new behavior.

" Anyway, how is Kate"He asked, trying to switch topics, he was really getting jealous of tequila, I let out a small laugh and shook my head at his childishness.

"She is fine, doing really good actually, considering the fact that she just went through a break-up, but the girl was never worth it any way and I tried to let her know this, but trust Katie to always want to see the good in people despite being a pessimist." I sighed.

He flicked my nose, "You are cute when you rant."

" First of all, what the hell! I was told that I am sexy, I mean look at me, and now? you are calling me cute, you must be blind, how can you not see all this hotness." I gestured to myself.

"Again, cute." he smiled and I fumed, I took pride in myself as a sexy and bold woman, and this man? so annoying.

"I do not even know what to make of you, so I give up," I said stretching after finishing the cup of muddy waters that he had given me in the name of the tea.

"How do you feel now," he asked expectantly.

"Like snow white after eating the poisoned apple, I mean, what did I just drink? it tastes like mud" I quipped, I did feel much better, but I would not want him to know that, plus I was still swooning, blame that on his overwhelming presence.

"Good, you can make sentences without doodling or making mistakes, which means you are feeling better". He asserted.

" Whatever, you have not congratulated me yet though" my face fell.

" What?" He asked, not sure what I was going on about.

" You said you came to spend some time with and congratulate me on this feat, but you have not done that yet" I explained.

"Oh, that" He nodded.

" Yes, that" I nodded alongside him.

" Come, I have something to show you" He rounded on me and help me down from the high stool that I was perched on.

"Where are you taking me," I asked, he was now holding my hand and leading me.

Turns out he was taking me to one of the empty rooms that I did not really have much use for, so I never entered it.

Now, it was furnished with a two-seater sofa in the middle of the room, a round table with chairs around it on the far left corner, a television set directly opposite the sofa, and a shelf that was packed with movies according to their respective genres on the right corner of the room, a rug and blankets were available too, the room itself was furnished in a periwinkle blue color, I was wowed.

On the round table, there was a box of pizza and a bottle of wine, I looked around once more, this place was nice, it was not a really large room, therefore making it more comfortable for me.

"Do you like it?" He asked.

"Yes but, when was this room refurbished? I mean, it was always a really bleak room to me, so when..." I trailed off, realizing how stupid that sounded, of course, it was renovated when I was away, he had the passcode to the house and had gotten it done really easily.

He chuckled at me and led me to the table, there was a single rose in a narrow vase placed in the middle of the table, he took a serving of the pizza and put it on his plate and then did the same for me, pouring some wine for me as he did so. I looked at it skeptically,

"Do not worry, it is a non-alcoholic wine, no need to be scared" He smirked.

"Did I tell you that my tolerance for alcohol is pretty high, you don't seem to know who you are talking to concerning alcohol" I bragged?

"Very well milady, this should do for now" He bowed, but he did not look in any least bit like a gentleman.

 "Sure, rusty cowboy," I said the last part slowly but he seem to have heard it and started laughing, I smiled too. 

The pizza was so good that soon I was engrossed with eating my heart out, he did not seem to enjoy it as much as I did, but then again, I did not expect him to wolf it down like I was currently doing in a most unladylike manner. 

I slurped at the wine when I had finished with the pizza and then patted my stomach, "That feels good." I said.

"I know something else that feels good" He smirked.

"Oh... I, what? oh gosh," I bit my lower lip.

"Take your mind out of the gutter woman, I was only talking about watching a movie together, but you definitely were not thinking the same. And again, release your lower lip, you don't want it all chapped when I want to.. ahem" he smirked again.

"You! you were not talking about watching a movie, and what about my lips, huh, I can choose to bite it off if I please," I said cockily. I released the lip nonetheless

" Sure, you don't know the monster you would be awakening if you continued biting your lips in such a provocative manner" he wiggled his eyebrows at me, so nerve-wracking

"That's it! I am done with you. Thank you for the meal" I made to stand up, mainly because I was getting wet with all this talk, and I would not want a wet patch on my clothes as evidence

He grabbed my hand and smirked, "Where are you going, we have a movie to watch, a little birdie told me that you like watching erotica, so we will watch it today, together"

This was the end of me, erotica

 He let out a small laugh, "Don't  worry, I was just pulling your leg, your expression was to die for, I mean, you looked like you just saw a ghost when I mentioned erotica"  

I released a sigh of relief, "You..you need to be punished for this"

"Who is gonna punish me?" He asked confidently

I looked at him directly and then crossed my leg over his lap, sitting in such a way that I was straddling him, I had only panties under my oversized shirt, what was I doing.

I connected our lips and let him take over, his firm yet plush lips danced almond with mine and so did his tongue which was inside his mouth, doing the dance of the moon, his member was hard now, probing at me, I sighed, this was bliss, the mating dance we did with our tongue, I was getting aroused and I knew he was too, from the way his member was getting hard under me.

I disconnected our lips, got off him and walked over to the sofa, and pulled the blankets over my legs.

"So what are we watching?" I asked, I was still dazed but I kept my composure

"Fifty shades of grey" He smirked and my stomach dropped.
