CHAPTER 9
Lorenzo
I have no idea what the fuck I am doing with Vanessa, just that I like it more than I should. She is this fresh breeze in my life, a change I never saw coming but have embraced. I brought her on a date, out in public, and fucked her in the restroom. Now I am stewing in guilt over it. She was a virgin and I had no idea. I should have thought about it, asked her at the very least. I wasnât thinking straight. I just wanted her to stop looking at me like I was a murderer.
That judge was in my way, he had to be handled. Itâs not like she doesnât know how these things work. She isnât worried about work anymore, and while we enjoy dessert, I ask her about school. Vanessa is one of the most hard-working women I have ever met. She is driven by her goals and will not let anything stop her. I love the ambition in her eyes when she tells me about wanting to get her degree. There was a time when I felt that way, when I was driven to chase this career. The thing is she doesnât know it was her bloodstained face and teary eyes that drove me to follow my own path. Now I am here, next to her and the past is like an ocean of lies between us. It keeps us together, and yet separates us by its vastness and depth.
Iâm torn into two halves over her. The one knows I have no business with her. She is young and doesnât know who I really am. The other part of me wants her no matter what, the consequences be damned. I think I would kill anyone who tried to get in my way. That possessiveness over her will land me in trouble, but I canât help it. Especially now I have had her, that I took what no man can from her.
Her virginity has only solidified the idea in my head that she is mine to keep. Yet I am terrified. If she even begins to know who I really am she will leave me, and the monster I would become if she even tried.
After dinner my driver takes us back to my apartment, and I make love to Vanessa the way I would have if Iâd know she was virgin. This time I make sure she enjoys it, that she understands I did not want to hurt her. When she is limp, satiated and completely exhausted, I carry her to my bathroom and put her in the large, jetted tub.
âI need to let my family know I wonât be home,â she says, âthey worry when I donât.â The bubbles cover the surface of the water keeping her gorgeous body hidden from me. I take her phone and text her aunt with a short message saying sheâs staying over with her friend. I know she lied to them, that she didnât tell them who she was going out with.
