Clara meant it kindly, but she just doesn't know me enough to know that I definitely wouldn't wait. On the contrary. I put down my empty glass of Aperol and walked towards the poker room.
To my surprise, Thiago was sitting at the poker table playing poker while smoking a cigar. I feared worse. For example how she kneels in front of him and sucks his cock or how he takes her from behind over a desk. However, seeing him here just sitting there and playing calmed my upset inside for exactly 10 seconds...
Because there she was again. GIULIA. She came over to him and gently stroked his hair and handed him a glass of whiskey. Then she pushed one of his legs to the right to sit on his lap. At the same time she put her arm around his shoulder and laughed so artificially.
Instead of chasing her away, I saw Thiago put his arm around her waist and continue playing poker. Are you serious? being fucking serious ? We might not have been officially a couple. Actually, I didn't even know if we were anything at all? What I did know, however, is that I didn't want Thiago to put his hands on another woman. And then another one that he has fucked more than once. I mean what is this?
I had to pull myself together not to freak out completely. However, I have had to learn more than to pull myself together in the last few days. I walked over to Thiago and stood right next to him on his left. On the right side sat this bitch. She noticed me first and looked at me disapprovingly "What do you want?" she asked mockingly. However, I ignored them and waited until Thiago finally looked at me, which he did.
"I wish you a lot of fun tonight" I said ironically and pointed to Giulia before I said "I'll find my own way home". My tone was more than bitchy. Everyone at the table understood what was going on. I didn't wait for an answer but ran. I heard Giulia laughing in the background before I walked out the door.
Clara came towards me excitedly. I briefly explained everything and that I was going now. She gave me her number and said she would be happy to see me again. I hugged her briefly and then went to the exit. I just wanted to get out of here. What an idiot.
I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket and dialed the number for a cab. I sat waiting on the massive stone wall.
I heard someone running down the stairs but didn't turn around. The person stopped behind me and based on the beguiling scent I knew immediately who was behind me. "Go away" I said offended.
But he didn't think about it, on the contrary he took his strong arms and encircled my body from behind. He pressed my back against his hard chest.
"I'm serious Thiago, leave me alone" I repeated angrily.
"My little temperamental girl" he said with a smile.
"I'm not your girl!" I clarified. "Doesn't Giulia feel like you anymore or what do you want here?" I continued bitching. God I sounded like a jealous cow. Well, so was I.
Thiago jerked my body around so that my front was now pressed against him and I was forced to look him in the face. Oh no he had that look in his eyes. This look that makes me fall silent immediately.
Thiago took my jaw with his hand and brought my face very close to his "I like it when you're jealous" he whispered. "I'm not jealous," I whispered back. "Of course not," he said softly, grinning. Then he wanted to give me a kiss, but I turned my head to the side.
"It's not okay Thiago. She sat on your lap and stroked you while you put your hand on her. That's just not okay," I let my feelings run free.
Thiago came closer to me and kissed my temple over and over again. "You're right, I'm sorry, but it wasn't what you thought it was," he said in an understanding tone.
"Yes it was. You already had sex. She was or is your affair. Of course it is what it looked like," I contradicted him.
A growl left his throat. "Claraaa" he said annoyed. Yes, she told me, idiot. "Alea look at me" but I didn't think about it. "Alea" he admonished me and I looked into his dark brown eyes. "It was over between Giulia and me. For weeks. And it was just sex. Nothing more. No feelings. I'm sorry you hear. I wasn't concerned when she sat on me. Now, looking back, I know that it was stupid the one opposite. The only woman I had an eye for tonight was you. And I don't want to go home with you now, no other woman okay."
Shit he almost had me with his ultra sweet words. Still what I still hurt. Seeing him with another woman made me realize how much I was in love with him. The thought of him being with another woman would kill me. And that scared me a lot. I had absolutely no idea how he felt about me.
"Alea" Thiago snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked up at him again. He expects an answer "Never do that again" I said seriously. Thiago grinned and kissed the tip of my nose. "I'm all yours," he said with a smirk. Then he put his arm around me and we walked to his car. I ordered the taxi while driving.
Thiago placed his hand on my thigh and gently stroked it while sitting with his other hand steering the wheel. I watched him sideways. His face. His perfectly formed face, how concentrated he was paying attention to the traffic. I really wanted this man. I loved him...
