Far across the distance
And spaces between us...
Chapter 3: Flash Forward
Sorry sometimes I messed up with the names XD
My cheeks turned into a shade of red when I felt his strong arms around my skinny back. For the first time I realized how beautiful he was. His skin was a little bit tanned, not too much, maybe from working in the sun. These messy strains of brown hair covered one of Brandon's beautiful milky chocolate eyes.
How much time has passed since I was starring at this angel like person? I really got lost of time.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO MY FIANCÈ?" I heard Cal shouting, his voice full of anger and hate. Brandon's and my head shot up immediately starring at the group of men rushing over to us. Before I could explain anything, Cal grabbed my shoulders and pulled me away from my new friend.
His hand was hard and a sharp pain rushed through my bones. "Cal! Please!" I grunted, half shouted. His fingers only tightened, forcing me to fell on my knees. His words, just a whisper, froze my heart, "You little bitch, don't dare to offer you another guy." With this he let me go, causing me to fell on the cold floor.
I looked up, when I recognized that two guards were holding Brandon's arms. "What are you doing?" I asked. I sounded different, like a little girl that doll was taken away from it. " We will take this bastard with us." one of them explained. My eyes grew wide. Why...?
Suddenly it was so clear. This scene looked so obvious! I forced myself to stand up and run over to them. "N-no...I know it seems like..." Then I faked a laughter. The others starred confused at each other while I told them, "Mr Dawson saved me...Yeah...I was looking at the ocean when I slipped away and nearly fell. Mr Dawson caught me." I gave Brandon a warm smile, he responded it with a short wink.
"So..." I said, my voice sounding harsh when I starred at the guardians. "Let go of him!" They nodded and stepped back. "Stella! Are you serious? Mr Darbton is a cheap bastard!" my fiancè yelled.
I turned around and answered, "Mr D-a-w-s-o-n saved my life. I think we should thank him. Or aren't I important enough to you?"
I heard Cal mumbling something while he put his hand in a little pocket inside his jacket. "I guess twenty is enough." he added, fumbling with a green dollar note in front of Brandon's nose. I raised an eyebrow, while I crossed my arms in front of my chest. "Oh, I'm only twenty dollars worth."
"Don't behave like a child!" Cal answered. I heard embarrassment in his words. "It would be a nice idea to invite Mr Dawson to the captain's dinner tomorrow evening. Are you okay with it?" I asked and gave him the most beautiful smile in the word.
Cal rolled his eyes but nodded. I shrieked happily, hugging him. "Thank you, darling. I love you." I breathed into his ear. After I finished I brushed my hair behind my ears and strutted away.
"This is going to be interesting..."
I starred at the reflection in the huge, golden mirror. The blond beauty looked tired and pale. The blond beauty looked like a blond beauty, but not like the person she really was. I sighed and at put my make-up off, when I felt two strong hands on my shoulders. I finally realized that they still hurt. "You know I love you..." Cal begun, "and wish you to love me. You are a real pearl, you deserve the best. I am the best for you." I closed my eyes and tried not to hear what he said.
Suddenly I felt a cold something against my skin. I opened my eyes, starring on a gigantic blue, tear like diamond around my neck. It was Heavy but it felt smooth when my fingers touched it. "That's..." I tried to say, but found no words. "It belonged to King Oronus of Eraklyon. These diamond is royal, we are royal, Stella. It's called Cur de la mer..."
"The Heart of the Sea..." I finished his sentence. One hand it was a great present, but on the other hand it was a big offence. Did he really think he could buy my love?
I turned around and starred into his cold face. I said emotionless, "Thank you. That's a great present." Than I stood up and walked over to our king size bed. "Good night, Cal." I said and switched off the light.
Some Mini-Lemons are following ;D
I giggled when he pulled me onto the bed. I shrieked and fell on his strong chest. "You know he will kill me when he find this out." the young man whispered, between his kisses. His lips brushed over my whole body. From my head, to my mouth...From my mouth to my belly button and a little bit lower. I smiled, but my stomach got mixed with fear. I half moaned "You can still stop." While I told him this I buried my fingers deeper into his soft hair.
Brandon responded it with a deep kiss. Is tongue licked my lower lip. I shivered.
My lover rolled over me, pulling my body closer to his. I could feel the heat of his bare chest and I barley recognized that he was about to take my clothes off. "Stella..." he breathed, "I want to tell you that...I...I...lo...Love, Wake up! Wake up! We are late for breakfast!"
"Bran...Cal?" I shouted when I starred at him. He was already dressed and stood at the edge of the bed. I let my face sunk into the pillow again. It was a dream, a illogical dream. "Leave, I'll be ready in 15 minutes."
My fiancè nodded and left.
It was just a dream...
I sunk back into the bed. Everything seemed so real. How silly! Brandon and me would never got a chance. It was like a different Cinderella story without a happy end. The only time we will spend together will be the dinner tonight.
In the next chapter will be a LOOOOOOOOOOOT of Stella and Brandon fluffly lovley stuff ;D Sorry for the late update!
