Forty nine

ERICA'S POV

I observed the picture in front me clearly, and for a moment, I was really stunned by Bella's beauty. Instantly, I felt some waves of jealousy surging in me, and I pouted my lips. The lady in the picture was so striking, compared to me. She had a very pulling figure, which was impressingly thin, and her skin was glowing, appearing so glossy. Her hair was ashy blonde, and some of it spooled around her collarbone and neck, hiding some part of her long attractive slender neck which was just like a swan.

A pair of slender brows eased down over a delicate long lashes. Her puny ears matched along with her button nose, fashioned to the best of the sculptor. Her little smile revealed her oyster white teeth, which could brighten up someone's day with it's megawatt power. Craved uniquely, she had puffy lips that were deep pink, and it complemented her full beauty.

Though, Bella was putting on a simple cloth in the picture, but it didn't reduced her elegance. Her stance was filled with confidence, and she appeared really defined. Standing with Adrian like that, they looked perfect together, and it was like they were made for each other. With their beautiful and warm smile, it wasevident they were truly in love with each other.

As I actualised all this, I discovered I had already taken in high hopes, so I shook my head, pulling myself back on track Stepping back, I gave a throaty chuckle, feeling ridiculous about my thought.

"Adrian would never be smitten by me, not in this world or in the next one," i told myself quietly, sniffing lowly.

"I should have known there was a difference between me and Bella. I'm nothing like her, and I definitely can't match with her. It was just like comparing a pearl with a diamond, the result is obviously right?", I ridiculed myself, careful not to raise my voice.

Instantly I felt bitter. Kyle is only using me for his games, I thought and pressed my lips together. I'm just a toy, a sex toy!. I clenched my fists and swallowed the hard lump that had formed in my throat. I was hurt, crest fallen, and disappointed.

I stepped back more, and now, my tears were evident as they had already decorated my face. I shook my head once more, sympathising with myself. Then, I tiptoed carefully to the door, planning to escape to me room. But just as I opened the door, I was shocked to see Rita was at the front of the door, and it appeared as if she wanted to knock at the door or maybe not.

Rita saw the tears in my eyes, and she widened her eyes. Immediately, a concern feeling flashed across her eyes, and she stared at me, expecting me to say something. I noticed everything, but I wasn't in the mood to say a thing.

"Hi Rita" I managed and faked out a weak smile. But without waiting for Rita's reply, I ran off to my room.

The moment I got into my room, I headed straight towards the bathroom. My body was all sticky, and I gave out a weird smell. So, I really felt the need to wash myself up. The warm water dripped down onto my body, and I relaxed, sighing softly. My tears were already dried, and I didn't want to bring them out again. There was no reason to.

With the warm water washing my whole body throughly, my mind suddenly wandered to Kyle, and I recollected to the crazy things we did together.

My face flushed under the warm shower, and my inside suddenly itched. My mind was now in a different place. I was reminiscing about whathappened last night. How Kyle had stroked and caressed mupussy like a damn expert. He gave so much pleasure, to the extent that I was now craving for it. He had treated my pussy with so much perfection and gave it a proper attention.

Suddenly, I furrowed my brows and slapped myself hard. I shook my head negatively and was silently annoyed at myself, when I realized how I was reacting about the intense sex with Kyle. I took a deep breath and tried to clear my head.

"Don't fall for it, Erica! You can do better!"

"He is just using you, so it's best you keep your guard up!"

" Don't let him take advantage of you anymore!"

" Nothing can come out between you two! You are better off without him!"

" We can't be together, and we are not meant together! This is all just a game."

" We can't be together!"

" We can't be together!" I repeatedly told myself under the shower and tried to assure myself that no chemistry was going to form between Kyle and I.

Sooner than expected, I got out of the washroom and sat alone on my bed. At this time, I started counting my days to leave and realized it remained only twenty three days.

Twenty three days, but things were out of mycontrol. I exhaled and laid down on my soft bed. I wasn't living an easy life, but there wasnothing I can do now. This was my fate, and I have to accept it, even if it isn't comfortable with me. My body had betrayed and failed me many times, but this time I was determined! To not make any mistakes again, I knew what needs to bedone. I would have to avoid any contact with Kyle in the upcoming days.

****

Having made my decision which was firm, I stood up from my bed and rushed to the kitchen to prepare a simple breakfast for Kyle. On getting to the kitchen, I thought of a dish I could prepare, which wouldn't take much of my time.

Ding! I came up with something and quickly started cooking, before Kyle would wake up. Few minutes later, I was done, and I cleaned up myself. I had prepared sausage and cresent roll casserole, which gave out an extremely tasty aroma.

Knowing I had fulfilled my promise with Kyle's father, I felt satisfied and immediately dressed up to go pay grandfather a visit.

***KYLE'S POV ***

I finally got up, but it was late noon. I sighed, as I got up and adjusted myself on the bed. I was slightly exhausted, but it was nothing to me.

I went to the washroom to clean my face and body quietly, before I would step out of my room. Finally done cleaning myself and drying my wet body, I strolled out of my room. The moment I got outside my room, I met Rita, who was giving me a hard glare.

I arched my left eyebrow, making my face tovappear more attractive.

"What?"

Rita stood up slowly and continued to glare at me.

"What did you do to Erica last night?" She made a hard face, but in truth, she wasn't really mad. She was just acting concerned.

I raised my brows more, as I heard her question. Just then my mind instantly raced to the fun I had last night. Recalling Erica's moans beneath me, which sounded loud in my ears again, and my mind pictured yesterday's hot scene.

Suddenly, I felt something rising in my lower body. Gosh! I knew exactly what that was. It seemed the thing was awake again. But I was only reminiscing the last night fun! At this moment, I craved for Erica's tender touch and embrace. I wanted her to be intimate with me again, caressing me with her soft delicate fingers. Oh that!

Rita was still beside me, patiently awaiting for my answer, but it appeared I wasn't ready to say anything. I ignored Rita's question and walked away from her, to the dinning room.

As I got to the dinning room, he saw the meal that had been prepared for me, which was on the dinning table. The aroma was stil wafting around. Seeing this, I knew Erica had prepared it, and realised she was trying to avoid me as usual, which didn't go well with me now.

I frowned, obviously displeased, and I hissed. A sense of frustration and irritation I had never felt before surged up in me, and I clenched my jaw slightly. My heart felt somehow, strange, but I didn't know why.

Rita shook her head with how I had ignored her, but there was nothing she could do. Seeing that I discarded her question and refused to give her an answer, she decided to let me know about the state she saw that Erica in.

"I saw Erica crying this afternoon, and she seemed not to be in good spirits," Rita told me, letting the cat out of the bag, before she stared at my face, trying to study my expression.

I turned my back as soon as I heard this, and instantly my face became impassive, not giving out any hint about what I was feeling.

Did something go wrong?

Did I hurt her?

Is she mad at me?

Did I mistakenly do something absurd?

Did I say something bad?

Various bad thoughts started flashing through my mind. By this time, I was already on the dinning seat, but now I stood up abruptly and took my car key. There is something I need to do, I thought as I became restless.

Without saying anything else to Rita, I briskly ambled towards the door, leaving her all alone.
