Chapter 34: Sealed me with a kiss
SIMONE'S P.O.V
When I open my eyes, he was already watching me. He caresses my cheeks. It wasn't a dream at all. He came back.
"I love you."-I said. Finally. He was stunned. I smiled.
"I said, I love you Russ—uhn..."-I moaned. He kissed me.
"I love you more. Finally, you said those words that mean the world to me."-he said. I blush. He used his thigh and wrap on my legs and then he was on my top again. I wrap my hands around him and we start again. I still ache for his warmth.
...
"Oh shoot. I didn't go to the office today."-I said. He laughs. He made us some food. That's when I realize the time. It's already 5 pm. He kissed me. Oh gosh, I want it again! I feel like I was too addicted to him now! He stops.
"You need to take a break. I can't let you go to the hospital because of... you know." He winks. I chuckled. I fed him.
"Simone, I answered Edzen"s call around 4:15 am. I told him to stop seducing you and... I won"t give you to him. Even if you beg me to. I also threat him."-he said. He is telling those things while looking down. Why did I let myself to cheat? He doesn't deserve it. I lifted his chin and kiss him.
"I'm sorry again. Don't worry, I will be yours forever. I won't be swayed by him again. Forgive me for cheat—"
"Sshh, you didn't. Trust me. I"m sorry for answering your call. I love you, Simone." I cried and hug him.
"I know. I love you more. This time I will do it right."
"Uhm." He said and kiss my cheeks. He's a kind man and this time, I will treasure him. I won't cheat ever again.
The girls were here because they were worried about me. I smiled at them and I sip the coffee. They both look at me.
"What happened last night?" Dana asks. I sigh.
"I just thought I was losing someone, but in the end, we made it through. Don't worry ladies." They both sigh.
"We never saw you like that. You have never been frustrated and cry like that." I eat the cake and smile.
"I know. Even me. I have never felt scared my entire existence, but last night? That was like hell."
"It is. Because hell is one's suffering. I mean not—never mind. But were happy to see you happy." I nod.
"You look blooming, actually. By the way, did he call—"
Jackson came in and he was on his phone. He hugs me.
"Are you okay, big sister? Dana called me and she said that..."
He looks at his phone and he must be calling someone.
"Big brother, you have to go home now. Big sister is crying last night. Something might be wrong. Can you please—"
"Don't worry, Mrs. Maxwell is doing fine. Relax, dear brother-in-law. I'll shed her tears every time." They look at the stairs and saw him walking down. He smiled. He looks handsome wearing his home clothes. His physique is can make women drool. He hugs me from my back and kisses me on my cheek. Their jaw drops. Jackson laugh.
"Thank goodness." He laughs and brushes his hair.
"Hi ladies." They laugh when they saw our sweetness. I blushed but I hide it by drinking my coffee.
"Ahem." They look at me. He laughs and smile.
"Yes?" He asks. I shook my head. I end up smiling as well.
"It looks like you two were... nailing it, hmm?"-Dana.
"Kind of. I'll go to the kitchen and check if the dinner is ready." I nod and he left us. Jackson sits.
"I am happy that you two surpass the reason why you're crying sister. I knew brother-in-law will always love you."
"He do. I'm thankful for that." Later on, we eat dinner and they left after we watch a single movie in Netflix.
RUSSELL'S P.O.V
When I open my eyes, it was still dark. She is sleeping so quietly while hugging me. I"m glad I came home and talk to her about the divorce instead. I knew that she"ll face his dad"s wrath if she will file the papers. That"s why I did it myself. I am afraid that she will lose her position as an heiress. I kiss her forehead and embrace her.
"I love you Simone. Only you." She moves and smile.
"I love you more, Russell." She mumbled. I smiled. I didn't answer and let her sleep again. When morning comes, we are ready to leave the house. She gives me a kiss when we get inside the car. I drove it away before I"ll think of something else to do. When we reach her company, she looks at me.
"I'm sorry." I kiss her, she looks at me and confused.
"If you say sorry again, I'll just kiss you and you won't gonna like it." I warned. She smiled. She takes her bag.
"I'll visit later. I hope you won't..." I shook my head. I held her hand and kiss them. When I saw our wedding ring, I smiled. I caress her hand and spoke.
"You are sorry, and that is enough. Let's move on, okay?"
"Uhm. Drive safely, okay? Ah, wait. How's your wound?"
"Mrs. Maxwell, what do you think? Remember how..."
"Okay, okay. Don't make flustered again. My goodness."
"I'm kidding. I'm okay now. Don't worry." She nod and I open the car door for her and watch her entering the elevator. I get inside and drove away. At the sports center, Edzen is waiting for me in the parking lot. I close the car and act like I didn't see him. He spoke just to warn me.
"Simone is mine. She will be mine. No matter what you do, birds with the same feather flocks together. We share the same hobby. She will choose me in the end. You haven't known the real me, Maxwell." My jaw clenches.
"She is mine. I will never give her to you. No matter what you say, I also have my cards, Edzen. She will only think of me, not anyone else." I continued to walk and leave him. Vivian was there, she is making a stretches as if she wants me to... I sigh. This woman, she is something else.
"Oh, it's your senior. Why are you staring at me like that, hmm?" She wink. I sigh. My wife is the sexiest, my goodness. I put my things in the locker and get change. Good thing I put on my swim trunks before leaving the house. She is about to touch me when I held her hand.
"What the hell are you planning to do?" I ask.
"That bulge in there. They're really big. I wonder what they're looks like when... aroused." She's creepy.
"Don't worry, I have no plans of making you know." I left her and coach smiled when I'm back.
"Thank goodness you're back." I just smiled back.
"Sorry coach, I just wanted to give my dad the opportunity to be happy. Thank you for a 9 day leave of absence."
"No worries. Go and take a lap. I wanted to know if your speed is still the same." I nod and jump off the pool.
I really miss the water, maybe because it's my life for ages. After an hour if training, coach talk to me in private.
"I have observed Vivian for the past week. Just like you said, something is wrong with her. Be careful. She wants you to train him and denied the help from the other swimming trainers. She is trying to corner you." I sigh.
"Thanks coach. I hope she won't create any problems. I love my wife. I can't lose her." He chuckled and tap my shoulder. After what happened this past days, I do mean it.
"Don't worry, I already installed CCTV's on places you said. No one knows about that. Her request, what's your decision?"
"I will help her. But I will set limitations." He nod.
SIMONE'S P.O.V
I get off my car and look at the building. I remember that day that I played with their team. On how...I bite my lower lip. I hate myself for being swayed by him. Damn it! I went inside and walk straight to the pool area. I saw him and Vivian. He is holding her. My jaw clenches. Crap.
"Make sure that your body will float and make a good posture when you're doing a side stroke. Just like this."
"Senior, you're warm." She is flirting with him!
"I know because I'm not dead. Now move, do what I say."
"Maybe because I'm hot? I'm also sexy and..."
"I can see that totally. I have eyes." I was about to leave when I saw that Vivian was about to kiss him. No! I'm about to grab her when his hand grabs her entire face.
"Just swim or I'll drown you." He said in a firm tone.
"Tss. Don't act like you didn't want it." She smiled sweetly and swim back into the water. I saw his expression, he is pissed off. I hide myself. I wanted to see how he teach his junior. She tried to seduce him by touching him or acting like she was naïve and clueless. I heard footsteps, and I saw him approaching me. He smiled. I won't be swayed by him again. I remember that night and how he gets softens when he looks at me. My heart starts to pound by just remembering that moment. He looks at them, then speaks.
"Oh, lovey-dovey. Simone, did you see that? It only proves that people with the same interest will shine together. Just like us. We are good with each other because we love baseball." He tried to get closer. I close my eyes. He is supposed to kiss me when I cover my mouth with the back of my palm. I glare at him. He just smiles.
"Let's eat outside. A short date. There's a café across the street. What do you think?" He asks. I sigh and speak.
"Okay. We need to talk. Just wait for me. I will talk to my husband and tell him." I was about to leave him when he held my wrist. I look at him in confusion.
"You don"t have to. If I'm your husband, I won't restrain you like that. You don't have to ask permission." I grab his hand and freed myself. I look at him in seriousness.
"It's my choice. Just wait for me outside. That will be better."
He sighs and nods. He left, and when I face this direction, they were already finished. Vivian is about to hug him while he is facing in a different direction. He turned around and held her hand. He seems to be mad. That's when I approach them.
"Don't be like this, senior. Let's get out of here, someone might see us." She did that because she saw me. I gave her a death glare and grab his hand. I pulled him away from her until we reach their locker room. I lock it.
"That woman!" Now I understand what he feels like that day. I felt guilty. I look at him and say sorry again when he pinned me in this corner and claimed my lips. I moaned.
"I love you." He uttered. His eyes show it. I gulp and held his cheeks. I do love him either. Fuck. I want him again.
"I'm sorry. Now I know what you feel that day. I'm sor—"
He shut me up by kissing me again. He lifts me up and made me wrap my legs around his waist. I felt his movement as he wall towards the changing room of this place. He put me down as soon as he closes the door. I gulp when I saw it. He was aroused. He gulps and he seems to be begging.
"No. This is not a right place. Anyway, I need to explain myself. That woman, decline to be coached by the other swim trainer and she just wants me. That's why the coach ask me if I will help her or just decline her request to him."
"I know. Edzen ask me to eat in a café across the street. Should I go or just call him?" I ask. His face darkens.
