Chapter 14: Depart

Daylight beams through a small gap in the thick lined curtains. I haven’t slept, and I’ve spent the entire night alone. I didn’t sob over him, I waited, but he never came. The fallout has made me question my own self-respect. Did I throw it away, just for amazing sex with a hot rich man? A man who can wrap me around his little finger, because he can make my body feel divine? He told me to jump, and I literally did, one hundred and forty meters into a black gorge to be precise.

I take a shower. I don’t linger. Quick wash, brush, and out. There are memories in there that are supposed to be pleasurable, but now plague me with uncertainties.

I heave up my skinny jeans, pull on my boots, and sit on the bed. I’m dreading the thought of leaving this room to face him. Even though I’ve not seen hide nor hair of him, the mood in this house is so tense.

After putting it off, I’ve mustered up the courage, and now I’m walking by the front door. It’s really dark down here to say it’s just turned noon. All curtains are drawn, and the dimming tint is still over the window panels at the back of the house.

I pop my head around the corner to look into the kitchen. Perhaps his mood has changed, and he’s doing what he did for me yesterday. Making breakfast, all smiles and carefree. But he’s not there. No delicious odours or naked flesh to be seen. Just the mess he made remains.

I stroll by the island and open the fridge. There’s only a small drop of milk left. It’s a day out of date, so I sniff it. Smells fine. Good enough to take the bitterness from a black coffee. I pop it next to the kettle, and hear a husky out-breath from the couch. With a quiver in my gut, I turn to see the back of Adrien’s head. He’s sitting in the dark, holding his iPad.

Okay, so he’s clearly pretending I don’t exist. That’s it. I’m going to act fine with this. I’m not going to let him drive me crazy, and I’m not going to let him play stupid mind games with me. I’m in a strange town, hundreds of miles from home, and unable to just storm out. So this is how I see it; I have to keep it together and not fall apart.

I approach his back. Still he doesn’t move. Just as I’m about to speak, his phone starts to ring. He grumbles, tosses his iPad on the cushion, and stands up. He peers at the screen of his phone. My nose crinkles. Not only has he been sitting here in the dark, but he’s also wearing his shades again.

I clam up, feeling unwelcome, unwanted, and inapt. He drops his head and stares at me over the frame of his glasses. He answers his phone, turning away with a bitter flash in his eyes.
