Part 13 
“What if I do?” he said smiling and then without thinking he started tickling me - somebody had told him that it was my ‘Achilles’ heel’.
My laughes were hysterical and loud, I was laughing so much that I couldn’t even breath!
“Plea - se s- stop-p I ca-an‘t brea-t-th..” I tried to say through my without ending laughes.
“Who is laughing now?” he said chuckling.
“ME!!!!!” I shouted breathlessly.
“Right!” he gasped laughing and he stopped tickling me but he still had my hands above my head and now he was beside me stooping.
Suddenly we were so close to each other and so still - only my loud breathing was here to break the silence ridiculously. His beautiful lips touched mine softly at first and then we started kissing like before with eager and fervor. I got free my hands and locked them around his neck as he had his one arm tight around my waist, straining me closer to him and the other leaning to the bed holding himself. Then, our lips seperated but he didn’t stop kissing me, his lips did not leave my skin, they just moved to my throat and my heart was hammering so loudly taking the place my breath had before.
Suddenly he paused and pulled himself back anxiously. He left my waist and went again in his side without takin his stare of me.
“How old are you?” he asked narrowing his eyes.
“Um..what?” I gasped confusing and still with bated breath.
He half smiled and he fondled my wrinkled forehead “Did I scare you?”
“No..it was just unexpected” I said still confused.
“May I ask more kind then- Carol, I would like to know how old are you” he said as he made a crooked smile.
I smiled “why?”
“Just curious!”
“I‘m 17.. I‘m becoming 18 in August 6th” I said looking at him while my breathing slowed.
“Hm.!” he sighed.
“Why am I getting the feeling that you feel relief about something?”
“Kind of! I just wanted to be sure that what we‘re doing is not illegal!” he said smiling crookedly.
“…Meaning??” I said confused.
“That means that I have to be careful not to be carried away too much.. ” he murmured softly in my ear making me shivered.
“What? That‘s ridiculous!” I said chuckling after my heart calmed.
“Oh really?..” he said ducking down to press his lips on my throat
“I mean how do you know I haven’t been carried away before? ”
He immediately looked at me narrowing his eyes “have you..?”
“No! of course not! I‘m just saying! If I had..”
“That will be bad..for you!” he said half- smiling “I‘m glad you had not though!” he added fondling my hair.
I hesitated “So, are you…?”
He chuckled “I‘m 20!…” he answered.
“Oh!” I said blushing.
He didn’t say anything and he ducked down to press his lips on my throat once again.
“How many?” I asked bravesly.
He chuckled surprised by my question “um.. I don’t really remember..”
“So, that means that you had a lot?” my heart started hammering again
“No so much as you think right now” he said laughing “only with one girl I had something serious” he added.
I gulped “ how serious?”
“Serious!” he laughed looking at me again with his beautiful bright eyes which ,although it was dark ,they were shying like the moon’s light.
My heart continued to tremble more crazily but it wasn’t from his answer now…
“Hey relax! You are so nervous! What‘s wrong? Did I say something that bothered you?” he said anxiously.
“No! it‘s just that…never mind!”
He looked at me half smiling and confused.
“So, is she pretty?” I said looking at the window.
“Who?”
“You know, your ex-”
“Oh.. Um she is ok..”
“That‘s not an answer!” I said annoying.
He chuckled “Yes” he answered looking at my expressions that became terroristic “but not as pretty as you are!” he added smiling.
I made a grimace and I continued “How is she like, what‘s her name, how old is she?”
ok maybe I’m asking too much…=/He made his crooked smile “you are so adorable when you jealous”
“You are not gonna answer me?” I said avoiding him comment.
“Nop!”
“Why? I want to know!”
“Well, firstly I don’t know in which question I have to answer first, secondly it‘s not something that you have to care about, thirdly I told you that you are prettier than her, fourthly you have to relax a little bit- I think your heart is gonna come out of your body, fifth I don‘t even remember her, sixth…”
“This‘s a big list!” I said groaning.
“…I like brunets more!” he continued fondling my cheek.
“Oh so she is blond!..”
He nodded smiling.
“And you don‘t remember her name?” I said grinning.
“Ugh..”
I didn’t say anything- just waiting.
“Katerina” he said rolling his eyes.
I grimaced “that‘s a weird name..”
He chuckled “it‘s weird only for you, in Greece is a common one” he said and he fondled my cheek.
I exhaled deeply “ok..lets talk for something else..”
“Amen!” he said laughing and he lied down on his side like I was.
“So where do you live in Greece?” I asked looking at the wall above me.
“In Athens” he said and chuckled “What a surprise!”
“Actually it is!… Wow, it has to be a very big town..” I said vividly.
“Yea..it is! That‘s why I love so much this place. Capitola is so peaceful and tiny in comparison with Athens..”
“Well I think you are the only one who say that..Do you live with your parents?”
“No anymore.. It‘s my second year living alone but I keep in touch with my parents a lot! They are the only family I have..”
“But you have your uncle too! Mr Banner!“ I corrected him.
“True, but he‘s so far away and is like he doesn‘t exist!” he said crossing his arms under his head.
“Don‘t say that! You know that he loves you!” I said looking at him.
“Okay, yea you‘re right ..my fault..”
“Do you have any sisters or brothers?” I asked curiously. I had never asked him that before.
“No!” his voice hard… “Yes!” … “I mean I had.” he murmured.
I opened brightly my eyes regretting for asking him that and feeling curious at the same time. “I‘m so sorry, I shouldn’t asked.” I said with bleeding eyes, he seemed so sad. Like he was in pain. His eyes became dark and his smile vanished.
“It‘s ok, you didn‘t know” he sighed and then he stood up in his feet looking at the open window “I… had one sister…she was at your age when she…died” he paused for a minute and then added “I have better go now.. It‘s late anyway, your brother might come in a minute.”
“Okay.. if you want to…” I said melancholically and I stood up as well, though I wasn’t sure about the last one, my brother rarely come home at nights. “But I want to be sure first that you are ok!”… “So, are you?” I hesitated before I touch him in the arm to make him turn and look at me.
He smiled my favorite crooked smile “Of course I am! It‘s just that it is late and… you have to sleep! You look very tired!”
I laughed “Oh that‘s a great excuse! Have you been thinking it a lot?”
He chuckled “no, I mean it, truly! You have to go to bed. We‘ll talk tommorow!” he said fondling my hair.
I sighed “Ok..oh! Next Saturday will be a festival about Capitola’s 60 years and everyone is gonna be there! Will you come?”
“Everyone?..” he said thouroughly.
“Yes.. It‘s a big event!”
“I don‘t know.. Maybe, if I‘m free of any work! I‘ll come, only for you!” he said brushing my cheek.
I smiled brightly “Ok, I‘ll wait for you then!”
He smiled back to me “Have a nice night beautiful! I‘ll be thinking of you!” he said and he bowed to kiss me softly in the lips.
I closed my eyes and I sighed as my cheeks started burning. “Good night Eric..” I said his name and that time I felt butterflies in my stomach.
Omg…I’m… in love…?! I thought to myself as he was getting out of my room through the window and I kept staring at the way he pulled out his car until he disappeared into the dark of the night..
Ok, I think I managed xD
I'm good haha xD
