Chapter 10: Confidence.
I've just finished breakfast and I'm walking out of the restaurant with mom, dad, and Mia when I am just in time to catch Ana. She was running towards me and threw her arms around my neck while she practically jumped into my arms. My arms instantly find their way around her waist, and even though I love the fact that she is this happy to see me, I still can't help but wonder what caused her to react like this.
When she pulls back, her cheeks are red and she has a gorgeous smile on her face. Her glasses are a little out of place, but other than that she looks good. So fucking good.
"Hi. Sorry I did that. I didn't really think and just did it." She says, looking a bit ashamed. I think it is because my parents and sister are looking at us with wide eyes and she is just realizing that.
"That's okay. You can say hi to me like that anytime." I smile, still not letting her waist go, even though I feel she is trying to pull away.
Behind me, I hear my dad cough, indicating that I should introduce them. I roll my eyes. Typically dad, instead of just introducing himself, he waits to be introduced like he is someone extremely important.
"Ana, these are my parents Carrick and Grace, and my little sister Mia. Everyone, this is Ana." I tell them when I've turned around, my arm still around Ana's waist. It feels to good too let her go.
Ana smiles like she's just won the lottery. Fucking hell her smile is gorgeous, it's like I see it for the first time. She looks different, smiles differently. I just know something's up. She looks more confident.
"Pleasure to meet you. Christian told me he was on vacation with you." Ana says while shaking hands with everybody.
"Nice to meet you too, dear. Christian told us you are staying at the campsite, is it nice there?" Mom asks. She is beaming, I think she finally feels like a normal mother now, one that meets a girl that her son brought home.
"It is great. Cozy, but nice." Ana nods.
They all talk for a little longer, about Florence and the beach. I can't seem to get into the conversation. I'm too busy watching Ana. She acts differently, like she is relieved. Maybe it is because I know about what happens at her school, but I think something more is going on. Whatever it is, it suits her. She looks beautiful with a genuine smile on her face. Her eyes have that shine and I just can't look away. I'm in awe. This is Ana. The real Ana. And she is fucking amazing.
"Right, Chris?" Mia asks, successfully pulling me out of my thoughts.
When I look at her, I see a huge smirk on her face, like she knows exactly what I was thinking just now. She probably got my attention just to get my thoughts away from Ana. Mom and dad also notice it, because mom is smiling and dad looks at me with a raised eyebrow. I really need to pull myself together.
"Yeah, right." I tell them, absolutely no idea what the hell is right, but hey, I'm not going to admit that one.
"Well, have fun today. Enjoy the sun. Christian, if you need us we are in the pool area." Mom smiles and then waves before I watch the three of them walk away, leaving me alone with Ana.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to be pushy and clingy. I just saw you and I missed you yesterday and I just ran up to you without thinking." Ana rambles. To my surprise, she keeps looking at me, not one time she has bowed her head as she would normally do when she is embarrassed. Her cheeks are bright red and she is biting that delicious full lip, but she keeps looking at me. And fuck it if that sight doesn't turn me the fuck on.
"I liked it. You can hang around my neck the whole damn day." I tell her, making her giggle. "But I am curious about how you are feeling? You look different."
She smiles and nods her head. "I feel different. I've told my parents about everything back home, and dad is going to get me transferred. I don't have to go back there." She beams.
Fucking hell. I have never felt so relieved in my life. She doesn't have to go back. I pull her towards me and spin her around, making her squeal in excitement while she giggles.
"You are very happy too." She observes when I've put her down again.
I nod my head and grab her cheeks with both my hands. "You have no idea. I'm so happy for you. So happy, baby."
Woow Grey, what the fuck. Baby?! Where the hell does that come from? Ana is shocked as well, I can see it in her eyes. They are slightly widened and her cheeks turn redder than red. It's so cute.
"Yeah, great isn't it. I can start over. And it's all because of you." She says.
I have no idea what she is talking about. Because of me? What the hell did I do? This is all her. She found the courage to tell her parents, not me.
"This is all you, Ana." I smile while stroking her cheek.
She shakes her head before leaning into my touch. "It's not. You got me talking in the first place. And because I'd told you, it was easier to tell my parents. I don't really know why, but it was. You have no idea what you did for me. I can't thank you enough."
A weird and unknown yet pleasant feeling washes over me. I helped her, without even knowing it I helped her and because of it, she could tell her parents.
"Well, you're welcome." I say while leaning over and bumping my nose with hers, which makes her giggle.
"You want to go to the pool?" She asks me, still holding onto me.
"Sure, but I do need to change. You can come up for a second. I'll change and then we'll go." I nod my head. Ana is already wearing her bikini and a pink dress which is a little see-through. She looks sexy, and I can't help but let my mind wander for a bit. How she would look like naked. How it would feel to peel that bikini off of her.
"Let's go. I'm hot." She smiles while nodding to the elevator.
Before I know it I open my mouth. "Yeah, you are." I mumble while very obviously looking her up and down. And to my surprise, Ana just giggles before pulling her dress up just a little to show a little more leg. Still blushing, but definitely teasing as well. I fucking like this new Ana.
"Why, thank you." She smirks before walking to the elevator. "Which floor?" She asks while looking at me.
"Second." I mumble. And then it hits me. Holy shit, she is coming up with me. To my room. The room where I'm staying alone. While looking like this. God damn, what have I got myself into?
When I open the door of my hotel room, I let her go in first. I follow her into the room and watch her reaction carefully. She doesn't look as tense as how I feel. She looks relaxed and curious. And here I am, almost sweating my balls off. What the hell is she doing to me? This is not me. I'm not sweating over girls.
"This is nice. I can't believe you have your own hotel room, without a door to your parent's room." She says while looking through the windows at the sea.
"I know. I couldn't believe it either when they gave me the key. It is great though, a place to be alone. Vacation with family can be a bit exhausting." I smirk.
She nods her head in agreement. "Ugh, don't I know it. I love spending time with my parents, don't get me wrong. But I'm so happy that I do have my own room, so at night I can be alone. It really is necessary."
I smile and nod my head. "What did your parents say after you told them everything?" I ask her suddenly. Because she was so excited, I completely went excited as well and never even asked her about it.
"They were shocked and sad and angry. They felt a lot of things. It was very emotional, but at the same time, a relief that they finally knew everything. And now things are happening. Dad sends my school and e-mail, about what I've been through and their lack of authority in fighting this kind of behavior. He is going to ask for help so they can transfer me. I really hope I'm allowed to transfer." She says while taking a seat on the foot of the bed.
"It is such a relieve though, that they know. Two years I've lied to them, and now I finally don't have to do that anymore. It is like they now know who I am, and the fact that they are helping me just feels so good. I'm not alone in this anymore." She says, a content smile on her face.
"I'm happy for you, Ana." I smile while I take a seat next to her and grabbing her hand. "I like this side of you, and whatever the outcome of that e-mail is, you need to be strong and have faith. Even if you're not allowed to transfer, you have to hold on to this Ana. This Ana is happy and looks so much more confident. It is a joy to see. And I just know that those girls will be floored when they see you like this, all glowing and gorgeous."
And just like that, shy Ana is back. Her cheeks are pink and her head is looking at our hands which are still holding each other. But this time it not because she is insecure. I can tell it is because she feels flattered by my compliment and also because she still doesn't see how gorgeous she really is.
"Nobody ever called me gorgeous." She mumbles. So damn cute.
"Idiots. You are. I have noticed it from the moment I saw you on the beach, and now that you are more confident, it just radiates off of you. You are fucking gorgeous." I tell her, making her giggle and looking up at me again. Her eyes flutter to my lips, her teeth sinking into her lip. She wants to kiss me but is hesitant. I'm not really sure why, since she kissed me two days ago. But I decide to give her what she wants, and what I want just as much.
I move my hand to her cheek again and then push my lips on hers. She instantly puts her arms around my neck with such a force, I can't hold myself up and fall backward, taking her with me in the process.
She doesn't stop kissing me though. She is laying next to me on her side, her arm on my chest and one leg in between mine. Her kisses are soft and slow, and also a lot more confident than before. She knows what I like now, what she likes, and it's like we are more in tune with each other.
After a few minutes, I feel the hand on my chest moving a little lower. My dick, which is already hard and ready, is bumping up and down in approval. When she reaches my bellybutton, she stops and just lays her hand there. I think she doesn't know what to do and I can feel she is nervous. For a moment I think about what I should do. Do I say something about it? Or do I act as if nothing happened? If this was any other girl, I would've just grabbed her hand and put it on my dick. But this isn't just a girl. This is Ana.
"Sorry." She suddenly mumbles while pulling her lips away from mine.
"Why?" I ask her confused. She can't be sorry for kissing me so good.
Her hand moves from my belly to my chest again, gripping my shirt there tightly. Her eyes are looking at the hand, I'm sure because she doesn't want to look in my eyes.
"I... I want to. But I have no idea what to do and it confuses me that I want to touch you. I never thought I would feel it so soon and now I do while I told you just days ago that I wasn't ready. That must be so weird for you as well. God, sorry." She rambles. It's cute. She should know what I feel right now, then she would've never said these things.
"Hey, it's okay. Things can change, right? We've talked a lot and we shared stuff about our lives. We are more comfortable around each other now. Don't worry. It's normal." I tell her, trying to reassure her this isn't weird at all.
I honestly have no idea if it is because I have never been in this situation before. I always just did it, without thinking about anything but getting off. The girls I was with never where this insecure about it, not even Allison who was a virgin too. She knew what to do. But Ana really doesn't know, and it is such a turn on. Like I can talk her through it and learn her exactly what I like. So I can ruin her for other guys.
I have no idea what brought on that last thought, but I don't have long to think about it. Because I see Ana looking at me before looking me up and down very fast like she is afraid to get caught. It makes me smile.
"Is it okay? If I touch you?" She nervously asks. I can feel her hand on my chest is shaking. She is way too nervous and tense to do this now. I need to be the gentleman here and make sure she is comfortable first.
"How about I make you a little more relaxed first?" I ask her while moving my head to hers again. She looks at me with wide eyes and then nods her head. It's such a little nod, I almost missed it, but it was there.
I softly push her shoulder so she is laying onto her back, and I move onto my side so my front is against her. My lips meet hers again and I start kissing her just like before, slowly. Her tongue immediately finds mine and her hands tangle in my hair again, completely into our kiss.
After I feel the tension leave her body, I move my hand and place it in between her breasts, over her summer dress. I can feel her heart beating fast and hard, just like mine, almost in tune with each other. It is an intimate feeling. Then I move my hand lower, over her belly and hips to her leg. When I reach the hem of her dress, I move my hand up again, dragging the dress with me as I go.
I feel that Ana's grip on my hair become a little tighter, but she doesn't stop kissing me and lets me move my hand all the way to her ribs. Then I start to kiss my way down. I kiss her neck for about a minute before moving my nose down over her sternum until I'm just under her bikini top.
'Your skin is so soft, Ana." I mumble before placing a kiss in the middle of her sternum, where her ribs meet.
She lets out a soft moan, which tells me she enjoys what I'm doing. My hand, that was on her ribs, now moves upwards until it reaches her breast. Even though she is still wearing the top, my hand fits around it perfectly and my dick is begging for some attention as well. I choose to ignore it because this is about Ana.
"So firm, so perfect" I mumble against her skin while my hand kneads her breast and touches her hard nipple that's stands out of the fabric.
Again Ana whimpers and lets out a moan, a little harder this time. I take it as my sign to step it up a little. My hand moves from her breast down, over her belly until I reach her bikini bottom. Then I pull my head from her skin so I can look at her.
She is breathing heavy and her cheeks are flushed. Her mouth is slightly open and her big, blue, curious eyes are already looking at me.
"Can I?" I ask her while nodding to my hand that is waiting for permission.
She smiles a small smile before nodding her head and then laying her head back on the pillow and closing her eyes. The smile still on her face while she waits for me to move my hand. It makes me smirk, she is so nervous yet she wants to know how it will feel.
I move my hand into her bikini, and I'm met with soft hair. I slowly move my fingers through it, before I go a little lower so I reach her slit. Ana gasps when I push my finger through and onto her clit, her hand grabbing my hair again, harder now than before.
I lazily move my middle finger in small circles over her nub, making her moan and pant. Her other hand grabs my wrist, making sure I won't stop touching her. I move my head up a little so I can kiss her again, her lips smashing against mine the moment she notices I'm within reach.
Jesus fuck. She is going to be the death of me. So shy yet so determined and sensual. She has no idea what she does to me. She is driving me crazy. My dick is so hard, I think I can break a wall with it. And all I can do is hold back and focus on her. I deserve a fucking medal. Or she deserves one for making me feel like this. Both probably.
I start to move my finger a little faster when I notice her breathing is changing. Her moans get a little louder as well and the grip on my hair is so strong, it actually hurts. I can tell she is close, she just needs that little push. I move my head away from her face again and drop it to her neck, where I start kissing and sucking on her skin lightly.
That's all she needs. I can feel her body start to stiffen en not a second later she comes. Gloriously and wet. Her moans still soft, but so fucking sexy and erotic, I have to close my eyes and focus not to blow my load right away. She is fucking perfect.
When she comes down from her high, her eyes open again and she has a lazy smile on her face. Her lips are red and she has a little sweat on her forehead. Damn perfect.
"Wow. That was something." She whispers, her voice still a little shaky.
"Yeah. You looked sensational. I can watch you do that the whole day." I mumble against her cheek. I love the feeling of her skin against mine, it doesn't matter where I touch it, it's soft everywhere.
We lay in silence for minutes, my hand stroking the bruise on her hip softly and hers stroking my scalp. Then I feel her other hand on my chest again, this time it moves down determined. When I look at her, she bites her lip before speaking.
"Show me what you like, please. I want to give you what you just gave me."
I nod my head and lower my pants and boxers just enough for my dick to spring free. The little gasp Ana makes when she sees me, makes me feel proud. I stroke myself a few times, trying to get rid of the tension, before I grab her hand.
"Just hold me." I tell her, and instantly she takes a hold of me. My dick is almost exploding without her even doing anything yet. I really need to pull myself together or else I make a fool out of myself.
I take a deep breath and then move my hand over hers, stroking it from base to tip, just how I like it.
When I look at her face, I can see she looks at our hands in awe and with concentration. She takes everything in, and after a few moments, I feel her hand moving on its own accord. It feels so good, I lay my head back against the pillow and just look at her face. Her cheeks are red with anticipation and her mouth slightly open. And her hand is stroking me perfectly, like that hand was made to stroke my dick. Only my dick.
Confident Ana, what a fucking gorgeous view she is.
