Chapter 12
After the shock was over, I made my way to the beach and found a towel and a robe assuming it was all thanks to Donnie or Sebastian. I grabbed the jack bottle and headed to the guest house where I found the lights on and Sebastian coming out of his bedroom with boxers on. I watched from the window for a second before going in and taking in all his male physique. My phone was almost dead startling me at the same time but reminding me that I needed to charge it if I wanted to call Catherine or anyone else. I finally finished my way around the side of the house to the door and opening the door on a very astonished Sebastian. "Ha-ha well Mr. GQ Donnie is never wrong about his assumptions. Hope you had a relaxing evening as for me I've got blue balls now and ya even more frustration added on" I tried to laugh it off as I passed him and took the stairs to my bedroom. Sebastian didn't say a word which made things easier for me to shut him out. The first thing I did when I got to my bedroom was put my now dead cell on the charger while I showered and took care of my needs. By midnight I was finally settled in my bed and more relaxed than I had been all day. The only thing that was still an issue was home and how things had gone with Catherine and the boys. I grabbed my iPad from the drawer and set it up on the pillow next to me. I dialed Catherine hoping she was still awake and was happy when she answered. "Hey you.... glad you called you were acting a little strange earlier. I hope everything is ok over there since I'm not over there" Catherine says and once again my heart hurt.
After a few mins I picked up my iPad and turned to my side with it showing my chest which included my bruised biceps and still hand printed face. Catherine gasped as she saw it all and she was not going to let me ignore her if she asked questions. "Hey Cate I'm fine the bruises are my fault ha but the hand print is all thanks to mother dearest, but then again I asked for that too when I brought up Ethan" I say so she didn't have to ask. Catherine hated my answers and started to get upset even more. "Damn it I should be there with you right now. I could have kept you out of trouble like I am good at.. so, you called this late because?? Let me think you couldn't sleep and feel guilty?" Catherine gave a soft giggle. After what seemed like hours, I was finally ready for bed all thanks to my best friend. "Catherine I really am sorry if I made you feel like the other night, last night meant nothing or that it didn't change me even a little because that night was the best night I've ever had sexually, emotionally, the feeling of connection was amazing... and I will never forget it. Thank you for calming, me down the rest of the way and I hope you will forgive me" I say as I looked at Catherine on the screen.
Catherine closes her eyes before re-opening and looking at me again "I do forgive you baby girl and I am sorry too for leaving and letting you just go without chasing you down. Goodnight baby talk to you later" Catherine says as she blows me a kiss and hung up. I was feeling like my world was spinning around without stopping and causing me to become nauseous. Did I like girls now and if so, do I find out what kind of girls I like, or do I stick with the one person who's always been there for me?” I ask myself as I slowly drift off. Morning came and I was up by 5:00am in a cold sweat as I dreamt of Ethan again but this time it was like flashes of memories that never happened. I was happy to be alone and Sebastian still locked in his room. I had changed into my running outfit and slowly slipped from the house. I knew that Greta was already up in the main house probably getting things ready for breakfast. I went to the back door where she met me with a bottle of water knowing I didn't drink or eat anything before running. "Thanks Greta.... ummm should I even ask how mother is? Ahh never mind don't tell me because I need this run" I said taking the bottle from her. "Little girl let me tell you something... your mother loves you with all her heart. She was up most of the night pacing her bedroom floor and crying. She wanted to go to you, but I stopped her knowing you both just needed time" Greta said with a matter of fact tone.
After a quick warm up I was down at the beach starting my run that would be taking me around the whole island which always got me back on course. I felt like I was on a jet pack feeling like I was running faster than I ever had. I made the run in less than 30 mins which was record timing and after stopping for a quick break and water I started another round. I wanted to take my time this round and see what was happening in the nearby islands that had been bought. By 6:45 I was back but this time I was now looking towards the dock wanting to go rowing next. "No, no young lady you're going home and getting a good healthy breakfast first and check in on your mother..." a woman's voice came from behind me. I turned but there was no one there. "Ok well thanks for trying to tell me what to do whoever you are, but I'm 18 almost 19 and don't need permission to do what I want. As for you... ugh I'm losing it... tell Ethan to leave me and my dreams alone please!" I say as I ran back to the guest house and showered before going to the main house for breakfast.
It was not a surprise to find Sebastian in the kitchen of my house on his cell checking in with my father. "Hey there GQ tell my dad that I'm cutting this Vaca short and coming back home when Donnie comes to pick him up. He can stay here with crazy all summer... if he can last that long" I said as I went to my room and showered but stripping the moment, I entered the house. Sebastian froze for a moment and then remembered what my father said before turning around. I gave a little giggle before completely disappearing around the corner as I went up. I checked my cell first seeing that Catherine had left me a txt-picture and about lost my mind when the photo was of her naked in bed showing off her toned body. I figured there was no harm in doing the same thing so set up my iPad on its stand and set the timer and stepped back waiting for the flash. I sent the photo to her and jumped in the shower not waiting for a response. I was to the big house around 7:45am after getting dressed in my bikini with a wrap around my waist and talking to Catherine for nearly 25 mins until we both started to hear my stomach growl and she begged me to go eat.
My mother, Donnie and Mallory where there with all of them smiling sweetly at me. I was not sure what had come over me as my mouth opened and started yapping. I started with my mother first "Morning mother, I hear you were up most of the night. No need to beat yourself up over a tap on my face, but I'm not staying all summer and will be leaving when Donnie goes to get father." I didn't stop as I went to Donnie next "Thanks for being the person I can always count on no matter how far away you are. Thank you for also having this amazing woman tagging along with you. She is a piece of work and not a bad kisser either...but if I ever see her again on my father’s jet just make sure I'm not there." I made sure to make Mallory the last victim of my rant. "I want to thank you for being like every other person who I've ever come across who has tried to make me feel shallow or prey on my spoiled rich girl ass. One thing you should know though yes, my parents and their parents come from money, but I don't feel spoiled since everything I have has come with a price. I'm the only child since I was 3 and my parents lost their only son.. so now I deal with living up to both my parents, expectations and in the span of 15 years I've lost who I was and what I wanted from life. Pretty shitty to be 18 and feel like I'm not in control of my own life... so if you think that is being a spoiled little brat that's fine" I said before grabbing my plate of food from Greta and sitting at the farthest seat from them.
Placing my ear buds in and hitting my play list letting the music drown out the noise. I had noticed Sebastian had been there probably the whole time once I sat and looked up. I didn't care what he heard or thought of me, but I could tell he was stressed. I kept my head down and finished my breakfast the way I wanted to do so. 30 mins later I opened my eyes once I was ready to look at everyone and felt a little more together. I was surprised when I did and the only one there was my mother who sat at the other end of the table and was watching me. I hit the pause button and took my ear buds out to see if she would start the conversation or we'd both be to head strong and wait for one another. "Do you feel better now? I am sure you feel better but what about me and how I feel. I am sorry I slapped you yesterday that was a weak point and you know I don't like to talk about your.... Ethan" my mother Amelia said in such a calm voice I freaked a little.
