Chapter 15
The night passed, and the delirious lips hadn’t left my body, sensing them between sweet dreams and total relaxation. At first, I thought it wouldn’t be possible for sleep to find me, but besides the storm brewing inside of me, Ferris seemed to also have a therapeutical effect on my mind. He was my healer, and fountain of energy since by the morning I was feeling like brand new... Except for my conscience, but they didn’t have enough therapists in the whole city to ever fix that back to a place of normality.
‘Morning,’ I opened my eyes just to find the most amazing smile gleaming back at me while wandering fingers were still moving over my body. ‘Haven’t you slept?’
‘I have all day...while I only have you at night.’
‘Someone is greedy,’ l let my arms wrap around his neck while I whirled in search for his lips.
‘Teaser. You only kiss me because you know you have to leave in the next five minutes.’
Was it that late? I don’t remember sleeping for that long in ages.
‘Thank you,’ I kissed him again.
‘If you’re thanking me for this, what will you say tonight?’
‘I was thanking you for understanding me, ‘ I chuckled. ‘But what’s tonight?’
‘You’ll see... After the meeting with Vanya.’
‘Oh, yeah... I forgot all about that,’ not that I was too eager to give her the news, but I needed to let her know what was my decision. It was the fair thing to do as she was the only one who offered me a chance when no one else would. ‘Now, I should go...’
‘Of course, you should. Wouldn’t want you to be late for classes,’ he spoke ironically, and with good reason, since his money could get him any degree he would desire, while I had to work hard on it, in hopes to eventually have a chance in getting a decent job.
‘I didn’t go through all that trouble, just to give it all up now.’
‘Of course not, especially since they just cashed in on your final installment. Go make use of the money,’ he playfully scolded me, revealing at the same time something that heforgotto mention.
‘You paid for my Academy fee!?’
‘Wasn’t that our deal? Why are you so surprised? I told you that I will take care of everything. Just ask and you will receive.’ He kissed the top of my head, hiddenly making a statement of his powers.
‘Thank you,’ I merged my lips with his, then slipped beneath the blanket, and wrapped myself in a sheet I took from the bed, raising myself to my feet in search of my clothes. ‘I really have to go.’
‘Can’t wait for a Saturday morning,’ he laughed while I was still spinning aimlessly around the room. ‘Hold on. I asked for some new things.’ Before I knew it, he was out the door, leaving me to wait for his return since there was no way I could leave the premises in only a sheet.
Luckily, it didn’t last long before he returned, carrying a few pieces of clothing and a shoebox.
‘I had no idea what to get you, so I asked for my maid to buy something...,’ he spoke while arranging the clothes on the couch. ‘I’ll be on the balcony while you get dressed.’
Checking that he left, I started searching through the small stack of materials, to discover a few essential pieces of underwear, a blue pale dress, and a jacket. Elegant enough for the Academy, yet not stepping over the limit to turn me into the First Lady. Perfectly made to fit me.
I whirled in the mirror a couple of times before he returned to the room. I know that he seen me naked in one way or another, but never in broad daylight, so his decision to give me some privacy was making him grow on me.
‘What time will Vanya be here?’ I asked to ensure myself that I could return since I did have to pay a house call to a certain someone...
‘Later tonight... Nine, maybe ten. She didn’t say.’
‘Ok, I’ll be here by then,’ I rushed to kiss him again as he slipped something between my fingers.
‘Keys to the apartment,’ he winked letting the rays of sunshine on the sculpted shapes of his face.
The rest of the day went by rather quickly, while luckily for me, Jenna was the only one who noticed the luxury brand of my new outfit, convincing herself this time that mysugar daddyis living up to his name. There was no point in denying it since it was all too obvious. The luxury transportation... the clothes... I just prayed that things will remain the way they were. That I was to remain invisible, not attracting intrusive looks.
I didn’t have much time to think of that, since skipping the last few classes I took the path to Cole’s residence. Getting on the bus, I ventured to search for the address that he texted to me a day ago, discovering it to be just a couple of streets away from my new location. An impressive mansion, much larger than Jason’s, showing off even greater luxury.
