“Room service!” Shouted a voice from behind Julia's hotel room door.
Julia was jolted awake by the sound of the knocking.
“ Room service? Did I order room service,” she was confused and half asleep.
“One minute!”
She quickly got up and walked towards her light pink, Japanese silk robe that she got as a gift from Thomas that he brought from fashion week in Tokyo a while back. It had tiny cherry blossom flowers. It was thin and a pleasure to wear. She loved the way it felt on her soft smooth skin.
She tied her bed-hair up into a messy bun and opened the door. There was a waiter standing with a beautiful display of breakfast and a bouquet of tropical flowers that looked freshly picked and an ice bucket with a bottle of good champagne.
“Good Morning Ma’am my name is Nathan and I have a breakfast delivery, compliments from the gentleman in room number 209.”
Julia let him enter the room wheeling in the room service cart to the corner next to the armchair and began setting up. Popped opened the bottle of “Veuve Cliquot” rosé, you could hear the ‘sizzle’ coming from the champagne as it poured and the silent champagne bubbles that move so freely through the glass. To top it all off there was a large deep red strawberry at the bottom of the flute champagne glass.
“Thank you very much, Ma’am. Have a wonderful day”
“Thank you too.” He walked out and shut the door behind him. Julia was already blushing.
“James,” she whispered to herself picking up the flute of champagne and taking a sip.
James was always a huge romantic when they were younger. He always made it a point to make her a fresh pastry in the morning. With her favorite caramel latte from the coffee shop a few blocks away from his house. For her birthdays, he would always plan something special a picnic on the dock, a day at the Belmont Park. So as much as she was surprised that he had made such a grand gesture she was not surprised because this was the kind of thing that he she would expect from him.
She had a flight that evening out of Hawaii back to New York. She usually always chose the last flights out so that she can enjoy a whole day. She knew that the rest of the party was leaving this morning around 10 am. It was around 9 am. Julia thought that she better give Vivianne a quick call to let her know that she is ok and update her on how the night went.
“Hey Viv,” Julia said as she heard her best friend pick up the call.
“Girl! Where have you been? I almost called the cops to come looking for you?”
“Oh please, you are exaggerating you didn’t even call me on my cell. You were not even looking for me.”
“True I was so damn drunk, I am surprised I am up so early this morning I have thee worst hangover known to man. So...what happened with you and James? I hope you didn’t f**k him because that would have been a terrible idea considering that you have a boyfriend” Julia rolled her eyes at that comment.
“No Viv of course I didn’t! But thanks for stating the obvious.”
“Good! That guy has changed there is something very fishy about him. I assume you won’t be coming down now. I will give you a ring as soon as I get home. We are about to get into the taxi. No WiFi connection.”
Vivianne never liked James. All the years that she had to listen to Julia tell her the story of how the ‘love of her life’ had broken her heart many moons ago had made Vivianne hate the guy. She would tell Julia, “He never really loved you, because if someone truly loves the person they would never let them go. They would fight against any obstacle that is put up in front of them to be with the one that they love. He just left you, Julia! Zero explanation and no apology. Thomas on the other hand has always been there for you and loved you no matter what. He has always shown up. I would forget James he will never love you as Thomas does.”
“No problem Viv, I’ll speak to you later. My flight will be at 20H00 this evening so try to call me before that time. Love you girl have a good flight. Ciao!” She put down the phone and took another sip of her champagne. “ If only Vivianne knew what he had just sent over to my room she would flip. But Vivianne is right he is not what I need right now,” Julia thought to herself.
Julia wasn’t sure if they were going to see each other again. She had forgotten to ask him what time his flight would be leaving that day. He did take her number and he mentioned he would be leaving the island that evening, but they didn’t really discuss their plans. “Oh well it was nice to see him,” she said out loud.
Julia took her pajamas off and changed into her turquoise bikini carried her breakfast to the balcony of her hotel room. It would be unthinkable to have this amazing breakfast of tropical fruits and French pastries inside her darkroom when the ocean was right outside her door. She decided that she was going to have her breakfast and go down to the pool to read her book and suntan. Take full advantage of this beautiful island and its sun.
There was a knock at the door.
“One moment I will be right there,” walking back into her room and towards the door.
Peeped into the peephole and it was James.
But she was in her bikini, she went quickly towards her bed and put on her robe and ran to open the door.
“Hi! This is a nice surprise” She said opening the hotel room door. He was dressed a little differently this time. A little more casual. A white golf t-shirt with a pair of navy blue shorts and a pair of beach slippers. He still looked just as handsome as he did last night. They stared longingly into each other's eyes. You could feel the tension rising at high speed.
“I know right?” He glanced at her from head to toe, up and down.
“Thank you for the lovely breakfast, would you like to come and share a glass of champagne with me?”
She let him into her hotel room.
“This definitely means trouble,” Julia thought to herself.
He came into the hotel room and closed the door behind him and followed her to the balcony. Looking at her imagining what she was wearing beneath that silky robe. Taking in the movement of her swaying hips. In his mind, he pictured taking her bikini off. He felt his hard-on grow in his pants.
Before she reached the entrance to the balcony he grabbed her and moved her body towards him, smothering any air that was left between them. She could feel a deep warm breeze on the back of her neck. He slowly moved her dark hair out of the way and lay a soft kiss on her neck. Something that was her weakness with him before. She closed her eyes and a wave of lust travels through her body, every nerve in her body was firing from her jawline where he was kissing to her inner thighs. She summed up her boldness and turned around and slowly moved his eyes up to his face across his stubbled, sculptured chin. She found the courage to look into his eyes, knowing that the consequences could be dangerous. How she had longed to look into his eyes, eyes she knew so well, eyes that she missed.
She was about to say something to him but he stopped her with his finger on her roses lips, moved closer to her that his body was touching hers.
“Don’t talk Julia. I know you feel it too. There is no doubt about it. I haven’t stopped thinking about you since last night and...” without putting any thought into it she sprung towards him and kissed his lips she stayed there with her lips against his with her eyes closed taking the feeling in. He then parted her lips and they plunged into a scene of passionate kissing. His large hands on her behind pulling her body closer to his she could feel her breasts were pressed against him and his groin area was rubbing against her. He wanted her so bad she could feel it and couldn’t resist the temptation. She couldn’t let this opportunity pass her especially as she dreamt that she would one day have this chance to make love to James Miller Wilson.
Kissing her soft neck, slowly moving down to her cleavage slightly separating her silk gown. He grabbed her silk robes belt and pulled it free. The sight of her in a bikini caused havoc in his body. He did not deserve such a thing.
Using his strength he lifted her up and placed her on the bed. He used his hands underneath her to undo her bikini top, slowly bend over her, and kissed her breasts. She had her hands in his hair as he circled her perky n*****s with his tongue nibbling at them a couple of times. The sensation caused her to moan with pain and pleasure. He moved back to her lips. Julia grabbed and pulled his t-shirt off while she was under him, his weight on top of her pushing her down. She kissed the large scar that was across his chest slowly and passionately. His skin was hot. James unbuckled his belt. She helped him unbutton his shorts taking his boxers with them. Then pulled down her own bikini bottom.
“Are we doing this James?” Julia breathed into his mouth. Fear came upon her for a split second. She looked at him.
He grabbed himself, looking deep into her eyes, and dove into her. Not breaking away from her stare. The pleasure was something special, beyond just simple s****l pleasure.
“I love you, Julia,” whispered James.
