Chapter 45: I respect you
Chapter 45: I respect you
"You can't force anyone to love you or lend you money." ~ Jewish Proverb

Angelo Le roux.
"Brad, i swear everyone on that table was just waiting to stab me with their forks." I sighed explaining what had occurred two nights before.
"Just leave their daughter alone, mate." Brad sighed heavily probably annoyed by my blabbering.
"Not you too." I whined.
"I mean Raina is-"
"Is mine, she has always been mine from the first time I met her, the first time I took her innocence." I said sounding a little more possessive than I would I like to sound.
"Hey too many details." Brad playfully hit my arm making me give him an evil eye, he knew I was joking.
"Anyways enough about me, you are going to be a daddy." I said in an obnoxiously mimicked voice.
"Stop stop stop, you flutter me too much." He said in a sarcastic manor taking a sip from his beer.
"And I'm obviously the God father right?" I asked. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
"About that Hayde?? had another suggestion.." He said with a hint sadness.
"Why, i mean I'm the best candidate ?" I scowled at him.
"Yes, i do get that but she thinks you are well- you need to sort your life out." He said quickly.
"Well if you haven't noticed that's what I'm doing and why is she the one deciding ?" I muttered with discontent. "I thought she liked me." I added.
"She does like you alot Angie manjie, we are both deciding." He explained making me roll my eyes.
"Well if you are deciding then you are choosing me. I mean, I'm a great dad have you seen me with the twins." Not to suck my own dick or anything but it was the truth.
"Hardly." He hissed.
"Who is your other suggestion ?" I decided to ignore the 'hardly' part.
"Well Hayde??'s older brother Auguste and his wife. I mean it's a good thing they are married, they have a stable home and they are really loving." He said making me cloud up.
"I am also financially stable, i have a stable home-"
"Living in different five star hotels every month in different states, countries and continents is not a stable home Angie." Brad said feeling a tad bit irritated.
"Fine fine." I said in distress.
"You also don't have a stable relationship." He added which made me really upset.
"Brad can I tell you something ?" I let out another sarcastic laugh. "When I chose you to be my kids God father, I chose you because I trust you with my life because you are my best friend. I didn't care whether you even had a job at that time because I believed in your business. I knew your temporary state wasn't a permanent one. You were unemployed at that moment but I didn't care. I knew that if something ever happened to Raina and I, you would honestly do everything you can to take good care of them. Fuck Stable Homes and Stable relationships, i trusted you that's why i chose you." I breathed out another sigh.
"Things are different. You didn't even want to be a father, you just chose me for the sake of choosing. You were in a panicked mode after finding out the pregnancy that should have been terminated was now in Labour. It's different because Hayde?? and I planned this out, we had everything planned but most of all ... I wanted this baby." Bradley Murray replied, each and every word hitting me right through like an aimed bullet.
"So what's your point exactly? that I don't love my kids or that you are perfect." I asked bitterly.
"I'm far from perfect." Brad replied in the very same tone.
"You know what really pisses me off is the fact that even when someone is trying so hard to change... you just have to keep throwing their past mistakes back in his face over and over and over again, repeatedly." I yelled in clearly angry.
"I didn't mean to make you feel that way buddy." Brad heaved up a heavy sigh.
"Well atleast I now know exactly what you and your wife think of me. I'm leaving Brad." I turned on my heel not even giving him an opportunity to say anything. Honestly with everyone always telling me how much of a disappointment I am, i just always thought Brad had my back but I was amiss.
I didn't feel like going back to my hotel or rather my unstable home. I guess I was back to my old habit, back to wanting and needing Raina after everytime and anything goes wrong. You know what they say old habits die hard and I could never get tired of Raina. She always listened to me everytime, I needed someone to talk to. I had no idea what I was going to do or say when i get there at exactly eleven in the evening but all I knew was i was going to sort my life out... like Hayde?? suggested.
Note the sarcasm.
Honestly I was baffled. Brad had always been there for me but I never imagined that he saw me or rather viewed me in such a manor. I didn't even realise I was already parked outside Raina's beautiful
home. I have to say she had out done herself. She was living a comfortable life with everything that she needed like good friends and family as well as a good job. Something that always attracted me to Raina was how goal-oriented she was. Anything she set her mind to she would do it. I just wondered did she set her mind on getting over me and did she succeed honestly it seemed likely.
I turned off the ignition noticing the lights in Raina's house were still on. I closed the car door shut making my way towards the door. Nerves never got to me but now they did, she once rejected me when I was ready to leave everything for her. It was kind of nerve wrecking that she could do it again. As soon she opened the door, it seemed my love for Raina accumulated everytime i saw her. She looked so beautiful and surprised.
"Angelo? Hi." She opened the door wider for me to come in. Deep down it felt like we had been through this before. I don't know how many times I knocked on her door at this time of the night.
History was repeating it self always.
"Raina, How are you? I hope I'm not disturbing you." I said getting in as she closed the front door.
"Uh well no but the twins aren't here right now. They went to a baseball game with my dad then they he just decided they should sleep over." She explained a smile capturing her beautifully sculptured lips. My eyes traveled to her tanned beautiful long legs, it seemed to make my pants tighten. I had not been with a women for a long time now. My hand had been doing the job, i didn't want anyone else except Raina. My dick actually decided that itself, it wouldn't stand everytime i was with my flings.
Tragic, I know.
"I actually came to talk to you. We have a lot to talk about..." I said gaining my composure.
"I know, about the other day... When I invited you for dinner, i didn't intend for my family to act the way they did-" Raina said sincerely and I couldn't focus on anything but the way her lips were moving.
"It's okay well I deserve it." I rushed to say. Her beautiful brunette hair had grown longer and she honestly looked mesmerising. How did it take me so long to realise that I love this woman?
Once we had sat down besides each other. My hand grazed on her bare thigh and everything just seemed to stop. She looked at me with a wanting look, I stared back at her with need. What she did next totally surprised me. She captured my lips and I didn't hold back. I kissed her back, her lips tasted the same way they always did like strawberries. She bit on my bottom lip making me grow harder. She now hovered on top of my body, straddling me. I felt like I would explode any minute, in my pants. I caressed her cheek as we hungrily kissed each other. This was not what I had came for and I wanted to show Raina that I had honest intentions. She started rubbing herself on my now hard on and I felt weaker than I had ever been in my entire existence. My hands roamed on her behind feeling every curve and meander. She pulled back from our intense kiss as she nibbled on my earlobe and marking me as hers on my neck. I didn't protest. I always liked it when she was in control but I didn't want her to take this the wrong way so I pulled back earning a disapproving grunt.
"Raina, i can't do this." I said catching my breath. We were so close, we were practically breathing the same air. Her lips were swollen from our previous fest. She seemed confused to the latter and a flash of hurt crossed her eyes. I wanted this so bad, i wanted to feel her again. I wanted to be deep inside of her as she squirmed under my chest moaning for more. I wanted her to ride me until I was out of breath. I wanted to bend her over and have my way with her. I wanted to pull on her silky black hair as I continuously thrust inside her core. Believe me, I wanted this but not this way.
"Why not? it's just sex besides we have always done it." She said as her thumb rubbed on my bottom lip. The tent in my pants was growing wider, she bit on her lip and I took a sharp breath intake.
"I know, it's just-" before I could finish my sentence she rubbed herself on my tent and I closed my eyes from the amount of pleasure she was giving me before I was even inside of her cunt.
"Angelo, we always have sex. Why can't you give it to me now? Don't make me beg." She said looking me directly in the eye. I held her waist with both hands as I pulled her closer.
"Things are different now." I explained, her eyes didn't break away from mine.
"How? Are you in a relationship right now?" She asked and I smiled a bit. How could she think I would ever be able to move on without her, that's just insane.
"No but things are different now because I respect you a lot Raina. I don't want this to just be sex, i want to make you mine. I want to make love to you knowing that you are my woman and I have the right to do it. I don't want to take advantage of you like I have always done. I want you Raina in every sense of the word want." I said softly caressing her beautifully sculptured lips.
She seemed speechless.
"Go on a date with me? a proper date." I asked.
"Angelo we have been on so many dates, like Venice...Paris-" She sighed seeming defeated.
"This is a simple date, no extravagant gifts or what so ever. Just an honest date between you and I." I added.
"Give me another chance Raina, i swear I won't let you down and I just want to treat you like the queen you are, in and out of bed."
She laid her head on my chest, still straddling my hard on which I was trying to ignore. I let my fingers run through her long wavy hair. I could feel her heart beating rapidly or was it mine? "I promise I won't break your heart." I continued.
"Okay." She whispered and I swear my heart almost jumped out of my chest.
"But can we continue with our-" She didn't finish her sentence as she grinded her hips onto mine.
"No Milady, I'm afraid I don't fuck on first dates." I gave her a smirk making her give me a lopsided smile.
"Fine." She replied laying her head back on my chest and at that moment I knew she was the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
