"Damn it,"
Arduous couldn't count how many times he did curse as he drove his way to his parents house that night while the scenario in the hotel's lobby kept playing and coming back on his mind. He couldn't get it off of his head— he couldn't get her off of his head!
"Damn, woman!"
He blew a loud breath as he remembered how his body reacted when he realized that the woman was sitting right on his dick that was still hard until that moment when he fell on the ground. The impact was strong and so sudden that he lost his balance despite his stamina and strong composure.
She seemed in a rush, that's why.
It has been what he was thinking since then and how she looked at how he recalled her face. He only had a glimpse of it but he was sure she was beautiful, her plump, luscious lips were the ones he remembered the most. It was the way her mouth parted as she tried to find the right words to say when she apologized to him.
Normally, in those situations, he would have probably rolled his eyes and might even tell how clumsy she was with what happened, but he was too stunned and starstrucked when he saw her. She looked innocent and pretty, no doubt. And with the way his body reacted, he knew that she was someone who could turn men on even without doing anything.
"I and my raging hard on until this moment was the living proof of that," he mumbled afterwards then sighed.
"What's with her?" he couldn't help asking himself.
Knowing that no one would be able to answer him, Arduous shook his head and focused himself on driving. The night was going deeper and his phone kept vibrating from the side, he was sure it was his sister and mother calling and impatiently asking where he was already.
He arrived at his parents' house five minutes before the call time that his mother told her, but when he opened his phone to check for updates, he could only shake his head reading Ella's messages and numerous missed calls.
"Where are you?"
"Are you coming?"
"Bro, it's time, it's time. It's time!"
"Auntie Liza is alreadddddyyyy heeeerrreeeee!"
"Where are you, brother? Aunt Liza's daughter is soooo pretty and I know you'll make a good couple!"
He shook his head when he read the last text message from her. He wasn't mistaken when he thought that the reason why his sister and mother were eager for him to come to that dinner was because they wanted him to meet Aunt Liza's daughter and set him up on a date again.
As always, he thought before walking and making his way to the trance of his parents' grand manor.
"Oh my god, Arduous, you're heeereee!"
Ella's squeal was the first thing that welcomed him when he stepped into the house. It was followed by a tight hug, almost choking him with the way his sister clung her arms to his neck, making him smile.
"Little sis, you are going to suffocate me," he struggled as she hugged her back.
Instantly, Ella let go of him and smiled cheekily like the cheerful lady in the sunflower garden that she was and shook her shoulders.
"Well, I missed you. You're always busy that you rarely come,"
The last part of her sentence was hinted with melancholy, making him smile sweetly at his sister and put his arm on her shoulder, then ruffled her hair.
"Ella, you know I;m busy with the company, right? I need to take care of what dad and mom worked hard for."
Ella rolled her eyes, "I know but dad said you don't even need to be that busy. You just wanted to keep yourself busy."
"I do it because I have goals, Ella. I don't want people saying and thinking that I was only able to become like this and be known like this because of our parents—"
"But you are not! You know that I've been your fan even before, don't you? And you are amazing right from the start!"
Arduous chuckled seeing where their conversation was going and preventing his sister from becoming cheesy again, he ruffled her hair once more before letting her go.
"Where's mom? She had been calling me," he asked as he peeked at the receiving room of the manor.
Ella's eyes lit up when she heard that and jumped, as if she was still a kid, though she was already in the last year of her teenage days.
"Oh, yes! We have been waiting for you because we want you to meet Elizabeth."
And although he already knew where it was coming, he still smiled and raised his eyebrow interrogatively.
"Elizabeth?"
"Uh-huh! Aunt Liza's daughter,"
His eyes narrowed hearing Ella's remark. Aunt Liza had been her mother's friend since college, he knew well that she had a daughter who was also his mother's goddaughter. But he never saw her ever since she was sent overseas to her father and lived there. If his memory serves him right whenever his mom would tell them something about Aunt Liza, her husband was in London.
"So, her daughter finally reunited with her for good?" he asked.
He wasn't oblivious to Aunt Liza's marital issue with her ex-husband. A supposedly sweet and all-in-one couple who was planning to have a big family, they married just a few months after his parents, but a year after Aunt Liza gave birth to her daughter, their misunderstandings and arguments became more frequent and heated each time. It all ended when Uncle Edward, Aunt Liza's husband, decided to pursue a big project offered to him in Europe and moved back to his hometown, which became a reason for their separation.
Aunt Liza's daughter, who he never met for some reason when he was still a kid, was sent to Uncle Edward when she was four, for a reason he didn't know anymore. Most of the time whenever his mother would talk about it, it was Aunt Liza who would travel to London to see her daughter. So, hearing that she was with her now, he could only think that her daughter moved for good with her. But then, Ella shook her head which earned a furrow from him.
"She just came here for a vacation with her,"
"Hmm, is that so?"
"Yea, and uh… I know I shouldn't be saying this but she said she was moving on from her ex-boyfriend who cheated on her because she didn't want to have sex with him and give in her virginity."
Arduous couldn't help his smile hearing his sister say that. It was one of her traits that took them overtime to get rid of. She has her way of knowing everything and telling whatever she knows to people, it was never a good idea that they needed to get rid off. But although she stopped saying what she knows randomly, she still couldn;t help sharing things to them which was in their end, was better than sharing things randomly to people, especially the things they shouldn;t know about.
"Lil sis, you're at it again," he said. "It's a personal thing, how did you know that anyway?"
Ella just shrugged and winked at her, "Well, perks of being Cinderella Winston. But don't worry, only the family knows."
He could only shake his head when Ella walked away while humming as he followed her. It was followed by a dry chuckle from him when he thought of what he just found out.
"A boyfriend cheating because his girlfriend doesn't want to give up her virginity, huh? Interesting," he thought.
He had been in London and some parts of Europe from several business trips and field trips when he was in school and he knew that Europeans weren't that conservative in sex department. So, hearing that from his sister caught his interest and curiosity.
Then, the thought of the woman he just bumped into at the hotel's lobby earlier on his way to his parents' house came back to his mind. Instantly, he felt his body reacting again when he remembered their position, how she sat right on his cock that sent it stiff and tight in his pants even when he was driving on his way.
"Damn, stop it," he uttered, commanding his body and mind.
After all, he knew he wouldn't see the woman again to have the chance to make her scream on his bed and do the things that his mind started imagining. They were too random strangers who just accidentally bumped into each other and how unlucky on his part that his body was reacting like that, he was turned on with what happened and he only knew one thing to satisfy those lewd imaginations.
Fishing his phone out of his pocket, he searched Liliene's name on his contacts and typed her a message.
"You still free? Let's meet again later, I'll text you when I'm on my way."
He was just about to send the message when he heard his mother's voice calling him. When he looked up, her arms were already wrapped around him.
"Oh, darling, we've been waiting for you!"
When his mother finally let go of him, she immediately turned to the woman with the same age as hers and Arduous knew well it was none other than Aunt Liza.
"Aunt Liza, how have you been?" he asked as he sported a dashing smile towards the woman.
"Oh, hijo, still pretty good. How about you?"
"Still handsome," he jerked, making Ella roll her eyes.
"Well, no doubts on that. Look at you now, all grown up and manly."
Arduous was just about to reply when a soft feminine voice interrupted them, and all eyes turned to where it came from. And just like that, he felt as if the luckiest man alive at that moment, as if all the odds were with him when he saw the slender woman standing in front of them and felt that familiar sexual sensation and tingle.
"Ah, dear, you're on perfect timing!" he heard his mother giggled before pulling the woman closer in front of him. "Arduous, this is Elizabeth, your Aunt Liza's daughter."
