This Evening
She left this house three weeks ago and did not return.
I miss her so much. Everywhere in the house I look I see something of her. She left her permanent mark in this household, it is impossible to be here without thinking of her. My princess, owner of my heart.
Sometimes I wake up startled in the middle of the night, it's like she's calling me in her soft voice. Then I hear her whisper that everything will be fine, I must be patient. Elena, my lawful wife, asked me last night what exactly is wrong with me, she noticed it when I got up at night to wash my face after such a night with Loraine in my dreams. I wouldn't call it a nightmare, because thinking of Loraine doesn't scare me, quite the contrary.
And today I'm back in our penthouse, sitting on the back terrace looking out over the city. Only thing is, I just can't enjoy the view this time, my heart is so heavy. Loraine is with Danner who made it out of the car accident alive, according to the papers he is suffering from amnesia. Photos of them together have been published, some were where they undergo all kinds of Danner's examinations in the hospital.
There's a special photo that almost made my blood clot, Loraine sleeping next to a totally patched-up Danner in the hospital bed. According to the caption, she is always by his side and makes sure that he receives the best medical treatment. It was also reported that she kept a close eye on his diet, flying in special traditional herbs and organically grown vegetables from the Caribbean to ensure his speedy recovery.
When reading all that, I felt a fierce jealousy, I could hardly stop myself from calling her and begging her to remain faithful. Not that I'm entitled to that. I still have sex with Elena at least once a week, even though it's on her initiative. And then I fulfill my marriage duty, she has a right to my body, I can’t deny her that.
But with Loraine, it's not an obligation, it is more naturally like my body belongs to her, has the constant urge to possess her. She is like the air I breathe, indispensable to my existence.
I lean against the railing of the patio with my musings. A desirable warmth run through my body, as usual when I think of her. How long will it take for her to let go of Danner and get her own life back on track and return to me? Does she think of me, does she know I'm still waiting for her here in our own space?
The penthouse is starting to close in on me, I need a breath of fresh air. Maybe a few laps on the gym’s track will do me some good. I go to the walk-in closet and replace my formal attire with sportswear. Then I jump in my car and drive to the gym.
I'm just about to go out when I spot my secretary in the distance with some of her slutty friends. Just what I don't need right now, I don't have the patience to keep trying to get these nasty women off my sleeve.
I start my car again and drive onto the road without a plan.
Without realizing it, I arrive at the beach. Nature is just what I need right now to ease my mind. I grab a bottle of water from the cooler in the trunk, throw a towel over my shoulder and start my walk on the waterline. In the beginning at a slow pace, which I increase more and more. My melancholy about my beloved who is far from me drives me further up the beach. Until out of sheer fatigue, I throw myself on the sand and sit, silently staring at the sea.
I sigh resignedly. A couple walks past me, chatting in love. Then a lonely woman is approaching, but I ignore her, keep looking out over the sea. I need no company or chatter.
But it's when I hear a sob that I lift my head.
Loraine! Before my mouth can even call out her name, my brain has recognized her.
I jump up and run to her. "Princess!", I whisper and take her in my arms. She clings to me as if she never wants to let go of me. “Dordrich! How I have missed you!”. Crying softly, she buries her face against my chest.
This is the feeling I've been craving all these weeks. This woman is in my blood, she is mine.
"What are you doing here? Oooh God, why haven't you been in the penthouse more often? I've been waiting for you so long, I miss you so much, princess."
Like two drowning people, we cling to each other. “I'm here with Danner. He stayed with the car because I needed some space to myself,” she explains to me. I take her by the hand and we’re looking happily into each other's eyes while we walk on the beach for a while. “Come home tonight. It's been so long since I last loved you." I see her blush, but she nods.
And then I see the red spot on her neck, and I stiffen. My fingers go to the redness and rub it. I look straight at her with pain in my eyes. "Have you had sex with Danner, Loraine?"
She looks at me strangely at first. "No, we just kissed, that's all."
"There's a hickey on your neck," I let her know. Her hand goes straight to the spot. She sighs. “He did that half an hour ago. He tried to seduce me, but I chose to take a walk”. I can see in her eyes that she is telling the truth. I give her one last kiss. "This evening?". She nods again happily, hugs me tightly one more time, and walks away without turning around.
My Princess!..
