Chapter Eleven

Jeanne kisses me passionately, her sweet lips make me shiver, her touch, her smell, is a damn magnet that I can't help ...

She grabs my waist with her hands and I decide to get closer to her body, all I think is that I can't stop kissing her, I feel heaven when her tongue meets mine, it's warm and soft, I don't want to stop doing it.

I do not know how many minutes pass until I run out of breath and part my lips, Jeanne opens her eyes and looks at me with her heaving chest, a different look from the one I usually make out on her face in the dark, also a sparkle in her eyes that they make me shudder.

-Jeanne ...- her name is the only thing that comes to mind, I don't know if to apologize, if to walk away, if to leave ...

-I'm sorry Ema ..- he says looking at the ground- I couldn't help it ...- he looks at me and I shake my head.

-Don't regret anything, that was ... wonderful- I say almost in a whisper. Jeanne raises her brow and a hint of a smile appears on her lips.

At that moment we heard a noise coming from the corridor, a couple of steps in the wood made us separate with Jeanne, when we made out the small figure that was finally approaching Jeanne and I were several centimeters away. We were so close? I try to compose myself when a sleepy Marie appears around the corner.

-Marie? -Jeanne gathers her eyebrows- What are you doing awake darling? - He asks in a sweet voice.

-I had a nightmare with mom ...- she says in a small voice and Jeanne takes her in her arms at that moment.

-Come on honey, you have nothing to fear, I'll accompany you to sleep ..- he turns to look at me- have a good night Emma.

I nod still stunned, when they both walk towards Marie's room I'm still standing in the same place remembering those lips ...

I walk by inertia towards my "room", while I put on my pajamas I can't stop thinking about Jeanne and what happened, I still go to bed with my mind remembering her kisses, her smile ... I'm lost, I think. And at the same time I was surprised by myself, since when did I like Jeanne so much? ... at some point I fall asleep, but my dreams drift through the memories, and suddenly Jeanne's lips became Victor's ...

Victor? I see him in front of me, the blood spilled, in my hand a knife and some of his blood on my clothes.

-Why did you do it Emma? -He says with his slurred voice ..

-You made me do things that I regret to this day, you used me, you treated me like garbage ... you abused me-I say in a small voice, I can't breathe, my chest contracts and I wake up with a scream.

It's 7 in the morning and my heart is beating as if it were going to leave my chest, Victor ... no, I can't let it continue to ruin my life, my demons left me alone for only a few months and again Victor was the owner of my nightmares.

I remember his insults, his blows, his blood ... I shake my head, I can't keep thinking about him, what happened, I can't.

I decide to get up, I take a quick shower and I decide to wear a flowered summer dress, the weather began to change and from early on I felt a warm air in the room, I decided to postpone breakfast and walked directly out of the mansion, it felt like I was missing air in my chest and needs to distract me, I walked around the neighborhood looking at the other mansions and I could not believe how huge they were, in my life I would have seen something like this ...

I decided to go to the nearby park that a while ago I came with Marie, it was just dawn and there was no one, perfect for me ... I took a cigarette out of my pocket and started smoking desperately, I did not consider myself a constant smoker but sometimes I need the smoke pass through my mouth, fill me up and take away my fears ...

I sat in one of the benches, for about an hour smoking cigarette after cigarette, I couldn't let Victor enter my mind, he was too much for me ...

When I was already exhausted from my supplies I decided to start walking towards the mansion, I had almost completely forgotten in these hours what happened last night, a sigh I released when I saw Jeanne coming down the stairs with a complete gray suit, heels and her hair loose to her sides, she looked beautiful ...

-Good morning Emma, did you leave early? -He says with his serious voice.

"Yes, ma'am ..." I said doubtfully. Jeanne nodded and approached my position, wanting to say something to me but did not say anything, Marie was going down the stairs and I had to go away to help and feed her, Jeanne did not follow us, she said goodbye as she was going out the door and after closing it with force my heart stopped beating. Did he regret what happened? I decided not to get nervous, Jeanne used to change her mood quickly, sometimes it was a sun and other times she could barely look at me, what could I expect?

I decided to focus on Marie, we watched television and played hide and seek, cooked chips and in the afternoon we focused on watching a series of animated movies that had us laughing for hours, it was almost ten at night when Jeanne appeared.

"Good night Emma," he said without looking at me.

"Good evening ma'am," I said seriously, she looked up and then looked around.

-And Marie?

-She fell asleep early today, a few hours ago, we were doing many things ...

"Okay, would you like to have a glass of wine with me?" She said suddenly and my heart skipped a beat.

"Sure ..." I said doubtfully and followed her into the kitchen, she was still wearing the bottom of the suit but upstairs she was only wearing the shirt, open at the first two buttons it looked ... sexy.

She poured two glasses of wine and we sat across from each other at the counter. I immediately took a sip and Jeanne did the same.

-How old are you Emma? he asked looking up.

-I'm 26 ..- I said raising my eyebrow- and you madam? -I dared to ask.

-First, do not tell me madam, I think there have been several moments ... intimate between us - she said seriously and I turned pale - second, no matter how embarrassed my age gives me, no, don't hide that, I have 32 years.

Wow, she looked much older I thought, usually she was frowning and looking older, but no.

We both looked at each other for a couple of seconds, I enjoyed lowering my gaze to his face, it was so perfect that it seemed carved by the gods themselves ...

"I'm confused Emma," she said in a low voice, "I've never kissed someone younger than me ... I have many mixed emotions."

"I have never kissed someone older than 30 either," I said sincerely.

Jeanne smiled and rolled her eyes.

"My age is older but believe me I have always had to live a greater age," she said sighing.

-You are an incredible businesswoman, I suppose that the weight of your work supports people ...

Jeanne seemed to want to smile, a lopsided smile but seemed to understand my words.

-You are a mystery to me Ema -she said sincerely- sometimes you appear in my head in the moments I least expect it ...- she says lowering her head and my stomach turns.

-You also appear in mine-I avoid his gaze when I tell him but I know he's watching me. I decide to take another sip of wine and silence envelops the kitchen.

How about going to the couch and watching a movie? -she says getting up- I've had a hard day at the office and I need to distract myself.

I nod and follow her without thinking much, I feel quite comfortable sharing with her and it seems that she also with me. We decided to see the Lady Gaga movie with Bradley Copper "A Star Is Born" captivated us from beginning to end, despite this I was always aware of Jeanne's movements, we sat on the same sofa at a safe distance, but she felt the fire that it burned my skin at home whenever his arms were close to mine, I felt heaven and hell in the two hours of the film, always with my eyes on the television but feeling their closeness.

At the end of the film, Jeanne had a small tear on her face and it moved me, after all, the best-known businesswoman in the country did have feelings ...

"I liked it a lot," she said, looking at me, "what about you?"

-I loved it -I said smiling- I really liked the songs and the harmony of both-Jeanne nodded and immediately her eyes lowered to my lips, unintentionally I bit my lips, which caused Jeanne to move uncomfortably in her position, I I blushed and looked away. But Jeanne with two of her fingers moved my chin towards her direction and without thinking she planted her lips on mine. I was as surprised as the last time but this time I received their kisses with desire and longing, each time they felt them I wanted more and more ...

Jeanne pressed her lips to mine and did not release them for several minutes, her insipid tongue joined mine every time she could and I felt how the heat took over my body, it was turning me on.

Jeanne was gone after a few seconds, her chest rose and fell, her lips were red and her eyes were bright, she was completely lost in her ...

-That left me ..- she tried to finish the sentence but she couldn't, she was panting and I too, it had been an intense kiss, it had left us too ... excited?

-I think it's better that I go to sleep before I do something stupid -she said seriously, changing his face- you have me very confused Emma, I need ... to think about all this ...

The bubble they found me in disappeared, Jeanne looked really confused and I nodded, I didn't mean to push anything but her decisions.

"Okay, rest," I said without emotion, Jeanne nodded and we both got up, gathered everything and parted with a look full of confusion with each other.

"Good night Emma," she said regretfully.

-Good night Jeanne-I said firmly and turned my back on her, today I will be late to sleep, I thought.
