Secret Doors

Portia’s P. O. V:

Erin drops me off at my hotel room and he said he’ll be checking out tomorrow too and offered me a ride home but I told him that I have to extend my stay as I am expecting to meet someone. Both of us just agreed to meet each other at school if we have some free time. It’s already 4:30 and I’m choosing an outfit to wear for later.

I have decided to wear a sleeveless nude satin crisscross dress and a pair of black heels. I also wear a very thin gold necklace to match my dress. I fill the bathtub with warm water and bath salts to get ready. After taking a shower I dry my hair and do my make-up. I put on light makeup as always but instead of red lipstick, I wore the same lipstick I used when I had breakfast with Erin.

Speaking of Erin, I got a message from him telling me had a nice day with me. I told him I also feel the same way. And I received another message. It was from Levi he said that I should be there before 7 pm so I immediately finished my routine and didn’t open Erin’s reply. I immediately got out of the hotel and hopped into my car. I drove just slow enough to reach my destination in time.

It was already 6:30 pm as soon as I parked my car, I made my way to the front doorstep of the Bistro where I saw Levi Standing handsomely. “I’m sorry I came late,” I said as soon as I get near him. “I thought I can eat 2 full courses before you arrived.” He commented. “Come on. We have to ride a Yacht.” He said and offer me his hand.

I accepted it and we walk into the fast phase I’m struggling with my heels he noticed it and looks at me with a confused look then he carries me like a sock of rice. “Hey, honey! I know you look gorgeous in your outfit but you are taking so long as a turtle.” He bluntly told me his opinion about me. “H-hey it’s embarrassing,” I told him, and literally, I blushed so hard at my position.

“Don’t act like a pig and calm down.” Levi kinda scold me. Maybe he’s having a hard time carrying me. “Oh, I’m sorry.” I apologized and stay still until we reach the deck. He puts me down and escorts me to the yacht. Where a candle-lit dinner is awaiting us. My plan went busted as soon as I saw the view and the candle-lit dinner. I only plan to hand him his keys and leave but…Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Now how would I even leave him with this effort and all? Is this a way of saying sorry about his attitude earlier? “Let’s have dinner first. Before the yacht sails.” He announced. The classical music starts playing and he offers his hand to me. I gladly accept his hand and he escorted me to sit on one of the seats.

“So how are you?” He asked with his dull expression again. “I’m doing good. How about you?” I asked back and he just looked in my eyes. “I’m doing good.” He plainly answered. The first course of food was served and we both didn’t find the urge to break the silence. After the first course, he speaks again. “I hope you’ll have a nice evening here.” He said I can feel the sense of tension in my body because he was looking at me. “We will see,” I answered. I’m feeling defeated to find his emotions. Maybe that night really just means nothing to him.

We ate silently and I never bothered to utter a word. I might crack up if I talk and he never bothers to at least make the situation easy. After we ate he spoke. “Wait here.” He said and he goes somewhere on the yacht and the musicians are gone too. I wandered around the deck and in a few minutes, I can already feel the yacht leaving the port. I feel the air that’s coming towards my way and God the smell of the ocean breeze smells so good that made me feel nostalgia.

I suddenly felt a kiss on my shoulder move its way up to my neck to the back of my ear. I froze in action. “You smell so good,” Levi whispered to my ear. “L-Levi?” I call for his name. “Hmm?” He hummed as he continues what he was doing. “Wait.” I stopped him before he placed another kiss on my shoulder. I faced him and he surprised me with a kiss. A kiss that’s sinful enough to melt down my pride and guard.

The kiss was breathtaking and sloppy as both of us fights for each other’s rights. I disconnected myself to catch some air and to remind myself it was wrong. “Levi wait I think-” He cuts me off by giving me another skillful kiss. “Just please let me prove something.” He said in between our heated kiss. His tongue enters my cavern without any permission and invades my privacy again. I gasped for air again and he let me breathe his eyes are closed he looks gorgeous as the light of the moon touches his face. He pulled me to kiss again this time it was gentle, slow, and gave me a loving feeling.

His left hand supports my waist and his right-hand guards my hand so I can’t pull out easily from the kiss. We seem to surrender to each other finally and our kiss ended with an eye to eye contact. “I like how your lips fits to mine did you know it?” He whispered and licked my lips. I can feel the rush of blood to my cheeks and for God knows I know how I turned red like the sunset.

“I feel the urge not to stop kissing you every single bit.” He whispered in my ear and turned me around like he was back hugging me. I feel his warm breath on my skin and his warm feeling that made me speechless. “Look at the stars lady. I wanted all of them to witness how I will mark you mine. I wanted the moon to remind you every night of this day.” He whispered and his kisses went to my hair down to my ears and travels to my neck down to my shoulders. He stopped at the traces of my collar bone and marked it like a blood stain. The feeling is burning and it’s reaching my edge. He carries me bridal style and the rest of the story will be written in the company of the starry night.
