To lighten the mood, when things got a little peaceful in the car and his forehead furrows cleared, pulling the collar of my dress, I joked, “Isn’t it getting too hot out here?”The smirk on his face made me smile, and then I started to laugh as I said, “Where is the document that gives me 50 per cent stake in the museum? I want to sign it.” I was only having some fun to make him smile, but his expression was confusing me as he was lost watching me laugh. He wasn’t expressionless because he had a subtle smile on his very handsome face, but his eyes were fixed on mine. It appeared to me as if he was just going to say something to me from his heart and as if something was stopping him. Such an expression often protects oneself from being emotionally naked and laying our emotions bare in front of someone. In a relationship, people should not be able to only strip down clothes from their bodies, but the

Staring at his luscious lips was making it very difficult for me to resist moving forward and devouring him. Even though he was right on top of me and his face was so close to mine that our noses were separating our lips. But despite the physical closeness, some resistance from his end stopped me from taking the lead. He was also looking at me with his eyes fixed on mine, and his body wasn’t moving at all. In the time that I was thinking about the way that I should react, not wanting to spoil anything between us, he straightened his body to fall down on the bed on his back. It gave me space to get up and get out of being that near to him because it would have been very risky, so that is what I did. I was thirsty, so I went to drink water which was in the refrigerator that was on the other side of the room, and by the time that I came back, Charles had already slept in bed lying the way that he was. Instead of putting his feet on the be

He smiled and looked away when I asked him that, which piqued my interest in wanting to get to the crux of the whole thing. It seemed to me as if Mr. Lozano was deeply in love with the way he was blushing when I asked him about the girl. The thing wasn’t supposedly anything serious, but just a matter of love, from the way it looked like. I hadn’t thought of Charles falling in love. The way we talked at the beginning showed his interest in me, but then it declined after I moved in with him. At least it felt like that to me, but it didn’t matter to me because I knew the difference between us very well, and I had accepted that he was never going to ask me out. Despite getting various chances, he didn’t care about taking our bond to a new level, and that was enough for me to control my wishes. A girl in Charles’s life felt like a big deal to me, and because I was his friend, I wanted to know more about the girl to m

Looking at Charles with the hope that he would either support me in what I had planned to do or he would come with an even better way out of this weird situation that we were going to land in if I continued to stay here now that he was in love with someone else. In my mind I had this thing going on that how could a player like him fall in love. He had at least been a lover boy, and that was something which I had known from all the stories that the house manager, James, had told me. He wanted a new chick every day, and if he ever felt that he started to love a girl, then he would be with her for a week maximum before he realized it was all too much for him to put up with. It felt very special to me to be chosen by the richest guy in town to live with him and that too not to please him but in a completely platonic way. I had my doubts on why would someone let a stranger stay with them, but then if someone as settled as him asked me to live wit

On coming to my room, I settled in the chair after locking the door as fast as I could. It was pretty obvious that my curiosity was ruling over me to know what pictures were there in the photo album which I got from there. It wasn’t going to be possible for me to go through all of the books, notebooks, diaries, and the albums that were kept in that storage, but I was going to see as much as I could from there without anyone getting to know it. Once I settled in, I took a long breath before I opened the album. From the inside, it looked relatively of the recent times. As I started seeing the pictures, I couldn’t believe any of the ones which I saw. I blinked a couple of times just to be sure if that was really him. The first few were of Mr. Lozano in bed with a new girl in every single picture. It was evident for Charles to have lived that kind of a lifestyle, but preserving all of his special moments in bed with so many different
