A second chance: Sequel of Against all odds (25 page)

“
Erm
excuse me Sir, at what time does the next ferry boat leave?”

The old man opened half eye
and looked narrowly at him.

“
Well,
you have to wait for a long time. The next one is at 6.00 in the
morning.”He replied.

“
What?”David
looked worried at me.. “ But I thought there was one every
hour."

“
Well,
you thought wrong, the last one for tonight was at 10.00. pm.”

“
Oh
no.. Cas. And now what are we going to do?”

“
We'll
have to pass the night here.” I replied trying to hide the
sudden happiness I felt. I didn't want to return home.

“
Good
luck with that Miss, it's Sunfest today  the island is full of
people. It won't be simple to find accommodation for the night,”
he said yawning and then he closed his eyes again. He wasn't very
helpful. David grabbed my hand and we walked out. 

“
We'll
try and go back at the hotel we were in, maybe they still have my
room available.”

“
OK,
we can try.”

We returned to the hotel
where we were told that they were fully booked and that David's room
was taken. David seemed really worried; I wasn't, it was like an
adventure. All it mattered that he was with me. I could sleep even
outside on the grass as long as I had his arms around me.  Just
at that moment the coordinator passed from there.

“
Hey
David, still here?”

“
Oh
hello Louis. Yes actually, I didn't know that the ferry boat stops
during the night.”

“
Oh,
you need a place where to pass the night?”

“
Yes
and unfortunately they don't have any availability here.”

“
Listen,
there is a motel not so far from here, it's not so nice but it's
clean, maybe they'll have something available.”

“
We'll
go and ask, thanks.”

“
You're
welcome. Give me a call if you don't manage to find a place, I'll see
what I can do.”

He gave the indications to
David and after we thanked him again we left all hopeful. The motel
wasn't very far away from there. As Louis had said it wasn't nice,
not at all, it's seemed old and in need of refurbishment. But since
we didn't have an alternative, we had to make do with it if they had
availability. We walked in and headed to the small reception. The
receptionist smiled at us and said we were lucky  because there
was just one left. We both sighed with relief. She checked us in and
gave us the key. Number 43. We climbed the stairs, and finally, we
arrived at the room.

“
I'm
sorry Cassidy, the room is really ugly. But at least we have a place
where to stay.”David apologized.

“
Don't
worry Dave.”

We took a look around and
saw that there was only one bed which looked very small. Probably it
wasn't even a double bed. David glanced at me.

“
I'll
sleep on the floor don't worry,” he said as if he knew what I
was thinking.

“
What?
No.. David.. I would never let you do that.”

“
Cassidy
it's too small for both.”

“
Not
if we stay close.” I said blushing.

He looked at me and bit his
lip. 

“
Are
you sure it's a good idea?”

“
Yes.”
I assured him. I felt my cheeks getting warmer and flashbacks of what
had happened before the concert flooded my mind.

“
OK
then.”

“
Ill
go and get changed OK.”

I went to the bathroom and
took off my dress. My heart was beating fast in my chest with
anticipation. We were going to be in the same bed. We were going to
be both half naked and our bodies will inevitably touch. Were I going
to be able to sleep with him so near? I put a light short dress and
went out. David had already stripped, he had just his boxers on, no
shirt. I gasped, I had already seen him like this and had felt his
bare chest touching my back but laying down together on a small bed
was going to be different. I swallowed as my gaze lingered over his
body.

“
Cassidy
if you changed your mind.. I..”

“
No.
You go in first OK?” I murmured.

“
Sure.”

Saying that he lay down; I
switched off the lights and walked slowly towards him. There was a
beautiful full moon tonight, and the light entered our room from the
big balcony door. This helped me to see quite well where I was
walking. I slowly climbed on the bed and lied down putting my head on
the pillow. We remained in silence; I could hear his breath. He
seemed tense and nervous. Excited maybe? We stayed still staring at
ceiling. None of us dared to move. I could feel the heat his body was
releasing engulfing me.

“
David.”
I finally said breaking silence.

“
Yes...”

“
Thank
you so much. This has been a beautiful day. I really enjoyed it.”

“
I'm
glad. I enjoyed it too.”

I felt his hand searching
for mine. I entwined my fingers with his. We were so close, my hair
brushed against his face. I loved his smell; it awakened my senses. I
moved a little until my head rested on his shoulder. He tensed a
little but didn't say anything. Then I put my hand on his chest. Oh,
how I loved to move my fingers on his smooth, hairless chest. I could
feel the forming of goosebumps on his skin while my fingers moved in
circles. Maybe I should stop, maybe he didn't want.. maybe... My
thoughts were cut short when I felt his lips on mine. His hand had
wrapped around my waist holding me tight. We kissed in the dark, but
I still could  see his darkened eyes glittering in  the
moonlight. Oh God, how much I wanted him. His hand left my waist and
ran under my dress touching my thighs and my bottom. My hands ran
down to his wast and further down on his boxer shorts. I gasped when
I felt his erection, he was so hard. I shivered as I found the
courage to take him in my hand and touch him.

“
Cassidy..
are you sure?” he asked breathless. I could hear all his desire
in those 4 words he had just said. I knew he wanted me as much  as
I wanted him..

“
I...
I think so..” I said shaking as I kept touching him. He
stiffened as I slid my hand under the fabric of his boxer touching
his flash. I let out a trembling breath.

“
No...Cassidy
you're not. It's better if I get up and...”

“
No
don't move, I want you here. David..”

I paused there was something
I wanted to ask him. I really hoped he could give me an answer.

“
Cassidy
stop.. You're torturing me. Till now I managed to hold back but I
don't think I could do that for long.” Saying that his hand
cupped my breast.

I sucked in. “David I
want to know something.”

“
What?”

“
Listen
I know it's stupid. But I was just wondering-” I had to stop as
a sweet tide of pleasure flowed through my veins. He had moved down,
lowering his head to my breast. I almost chocked when I felt his
mouth closing on my swollen nipple and suck. For a moment everything
was washed away from my mind. I couldn't think, I didn't even attempt
to. I was just enjoying the slow movements his mouth was making. It
was like a dance. I arched beneath him in response and I hoped he
wouldn't stop until he appeased the need I was feeling inside.

David stopped and kissed me
again. His kiss hardened, his tongue moving passionately tasting
every secret place of my mouth. I felt my dress being pulled down and
I was left almost naked. I had only my undies on.

“
You
were saying?” He murmured when he broke the kiss.

“
What?”I
asked as I reached for him. I wanted to touch him as well. I pulled
down his boxer exposing his erection and I touched him. He groaned.

“
Cassidy...”

“
It
doesn't matter right now.” I replied. I didn't want to stop. I
wanted to feel him, all of him and I wanted to kiss and taste. He
straightened up and let me do what I was longing to do. At first I
was shy, I felt clumsy and inexperienced. But all my doubts faded
away when I reached down and caught him in my mouth.” He
growled as his fingers combed in my hair. I took him in and started a
tormenting dance with my tongue which made him gasp and twist.
Suddenly he pulled me away and arched back.”

“
David-”

“
I'm
sorry I couldn't hold any longer.” He said in a hoarse voice.
“It's been quite long since-”

He left the sentence hanging
in midair.

“
So
I've done my job well?” I asked.

“
What
do you think?” He asked huskily. “You almost killed me.
Oh Cassidy. I'll go at the bathroom a moment.. Don't move. It's your
turn now.”

“
David..
I need to ask you this. I'm not virgin right?”

“
No
you're not.” He replied.

I shivered.“Oh..”

I wondered if I had ever
made love with Tyler.

“
And
I've been with many men?”

“
Well,
as far as I know you've been with 2 men.”

“
Oh..OK..”
I wondered how did he know. Had I already done this with him? Had I
ever slept with him? I wanted to ask him, but I didn't have the
courage.

“
Cassidy...”

“
Yes...”

“
As
much as I want you, as much as I desire you I don't think that
tonight is the right time to do it.” he said then.

“
Why?”

“
Listen,
I know you've been seeing someone else. And probably I should have
stopped you before.” He said licking his lips nervously.

“
No
David.”I tensed; my heart skipped a beat. “I don't want
you to stop please.”

“
That
doesn't mean I won't give you pleasure. I still want to touch you and
feel your body but we shouldn't make love. Not yet.”

I was hurt. Why was he doing
this to me? I looked down. “David you're wrong, that other
person doesn't mean anything to me. I'm sorry.. I-”

“
You
have every right to see someone else. I mean you just got to know me
and in the past-”

“
Stop
it. I'm not interested in getting to know other persons!” I
shouted.

“
Oh
Cassidy. I love you, and I wish you'd be mine, but I want you to be
sure before we do anything. Also, there are things you still have to
deal with.”

“
Things
of my past right?”

“
Yes.”

“
David,
I'm not interested in that guy. I knew my mum must have told you. You
were strange yesterday.”

“
Strange?”

“
You
seemed sad. David, I'm falling for you and I won't change my mind
just because I met a handsome guy who used to be my lover.”

I couldn't see his face, but
I knew that I had shocked him with what I had just said. His body had
stiffened.

“
My
mother told me that I used to be with him.”

“
Oh...”

“
David,
the past, is past.. you're my future.”

He didn't say anything but
reached out and pulled me in his arms.

“
I
hope so Cassidy. I don't think I would bear to lose you.”
