(RALF POV)
My heart started beating so fast, I clung tightly to the bed just to stop myself from touching her.
She is drunk and I have no right to take advantage of her.
This is the third time I have felt this heat. I feel like my whole being is on fire and I want to feel her on my skin but I know I have to hold back.
But I find it so hard to control myself. Her seductive lips were in front of me again, I even wanted her breath stained with alcohol.
I feel more intense now every time she moans along with her breathing.
"F ** k! Why are you doing this to me ?!
I whispered loudly.
I dared to raise one of my palms to her cheek to show her face to me.
“Just one, just is enough.
I whispered to myself.
My lips touched her red and soft lips. My mouth seems to have a life of its own and begins to move slowly even though it receives no response.
I let go of her lips for a moment and then I stared at her.
"Since when? When did I start liking her?
I planted a kiss on her lips again, and I did that a few more times, on her forehead, cheek and on her naive lip.
How I wish she woke up so I could do more than this.
I took a deep breath, then dropped my body next to her. I laid her head on my arm and hugged her tightly.
"Looks like it's going to be a long night for me.'
(Roxette pov)
I became conscious when I felt a dryness in my throat.
A blinding sunlight from the veranda was the first thing I saw next to the shabby bed where I was lying.
I felt a sudden pain hit my head.
I forced myself to turn around and straighten up.
Though I'm still dizzy I was able to get up and sit on the bed and for a moment my gaze wandered around the room.
I scratched my head and combed my messy hair with my fingers.
I let out a deep breath, thinking about how I got back to this room.
“He didn’t sleep here?
I whispered as I frowned.
I don't have to think so deep about where he slept because it's obvious that he was with that woman Cindy, during the night.
I just smirk at being so annoyed.
I got up and went to the shower to soak in water. This will help to get rid of my hangover.
After less than an hour of soaking in the water, I put on my bathrobe and in front of the mirror I blow dried my long hair.
I'll just take it easy and take my time, I still have two hours to get ready before Loraine's wedding.
Simple makeup will do, light eyeshadows, eyebrows and I curled my long eyelashes and I applied mascara on it and a little blush and a nude matte lipstick.
When I was satisfied with my appearance, I went to the closet to get the gown I was going to wear.
I was still stunned for a moment when I saw it as it hung inside the closet as if I had never seen this before.
Emerald green satin string dress with high slit.
Honestly I am not very comfortable wearing this dress. For me it was too revealing.
But Irish chose it and she knows a lot more when it comes to fashion so maybe I should just be complacent.
I just straightened my long hair and tied it high.
I can’t believe I’m this woman in the mirror.
My height increased a bit because of the high heels I'm wearing.
My healthy breasts are slightly exposed enough due to the design of the gown as well as my long thighs.
I still have half an hour left but it's better early than late, So I took my handbag and left that room.
In the distance by the sea, I saw a mixture of white and green decorations.
Long white clothes laying on the sand where the groom and bride would walk. It was almost filled with beautiful white flowers of different sizes and chairs for the wedding attendees.
Loraine mentioned that she only wants a simple wedding by the beach but I don't think this is that simple.
There were people gathered wearing gowns and I also saw a group of men in black suits.
"Roxette! '
From there I saw Irish waving at me. At the same time as she called my name, the men in suits looked around to see who Irish were waving at.
My eyes landed on Ralf who was one of the men wearing a suit.
He's really good at this kind of attire.
His black and thick hair looks so clean because of whatever liquid he put in there so it doesn't move.
He also turned to look at me and I saw how he's eyes scroll down at me from head to toe.
When I reached where they were, Irish immediately approached me with a big smile on her face.
"Look at you girl! ' You're so gorgeous! I told you, didn't I? That gown is just right for you.
She bragged.
I was suddenly embarrassed because people were starting to look at us. I told myself earlier that I didn't want to be the center of attraction. But here is Irish and the noise she's making.
“Hi gorgeous!
From nowhere Ivan appeared in a suit as well.
"Wow, you're so handsome! '
I exclaimed when I saw him.
He laughed and bowed as if embarrassed by what I said.
Soon, the wedding started, and apart from being simple, the ceremony ended very quickly and everyone gathered at the reception.
It was just an open area with decorations.
And I didn’t expect to see Cindy here. I was really surprised that I hadn't seen her at the wedding ceremony, but here she is at the reception.
The newlyweds were busy greeting and talking to their guests, Irish, Ivan, me and Ralf were sitting face to face at the same table.
When my eyes got tired of wandering around, I noticed that Ivan and Ralf were both frowning.
They weren't like this yesterday when we met at the resto.
Some time later Cindy sat in the empty seat next to Ralf.
Ivan looked at the woman and then turned his gaze to Ralf as if he meant something.
I saw how Ralf hardly frowned at Ivan.
I don't know what's going on but I don't want to ask, I also avoid talking to Ralf because I'm still not comfortable because of what I saw yesterday.
"Let's get some food '
Irish encourages me, I take this good opportunity for me to escape a strange situation in front of these men.
I was holding a plate and choosing food to put on it when Cindy suddenly spoke next to me.
"Uhhh. looks good!
I didn't look at her when she spoke but it was in the corner of my eye that she was talking to me.
"Favorite food?
I just said while putting some food on my plate.
"Not really, it's Ralf's favorite,
She replied, I was stunned and looked at her and I saw how she smirked at me as if teasing then walked in front of me.
I just bit my lip out of so much annoyed because of what she said. She's bragging that she knows my husband better than I do.
"Oh, you should try this too '
She added, then put some food on my plate.
"That's Ralf's favorite, too.'
She said then left in front of me.
My eyes followed her until she was back in her seat next to Ralf.
I gripped the fabric of the gown I was wearing, To control my anger, and I let out a few sighs as I turned and looked at them.
I averted my eyes as Ralf looked in the direction where I was standing.
I feel tears welling up in my eyes from so much rage.
But I had to hold back because there were people around.
I went back to my seat and did my best to avoid the look of Cindy who was definitely happy to annoy me.
Irish had just returned with two plates of food, for her and Ivan.
“Ralf, I got some food for you too.
“Isn’t this your favorite?
Cindy said softly as the food was placed on Ralf's plate.
"Ivan looked at them and the annoyance was obvious on Irish's face.
"Wow!' How sweet of you!
Irish exclaimed with a grin while slicing the steak on her plate.
I just bent down, and played with the food on my plate with the spoon in my hand, Trying my best to pretend that I didn't hear anything.
"Have some'.
Ivan served me a sliced steak from his plate.
He smiled at me as if to say I should ignore them.
I grabbed the fork and scooped up the steak he put on my plate,
While chewing, I felt my tears welling up and I couldn’t stop them so I immediately stood up.
