Call me Daddy-Stealing her Innocence

Chapter 5

The party is criminal, just like Iris said. I mean, it's barely past nine in the evening and most of them are already drunk or dizzy. I haven't been to a party yet, but I certainly don't think it should be so destroyed so early. Those who are already drunk what will they do until morning?

Iris, where did you bring me?!

-Tell me again...Why are students also present at the party? I ask Iris as soon as we step on the sidewalk that leads to the villa.

-The party is given for my father, even if he is not present, but considering that the parties given by Ben are always the most lavish, everyone comes to them. She answers with a proud smile on her face, and I just nod my head.

Does the world come uninvited to his parties? Does he agree that a bunch of hormonal students come uninvited to the party? A lot of questions about him pop into my mind, but I immediately dismiss them. I can't ask Iris about this. She would think I have hidden intentions with his cousin.

I wouldn't be able to contradict her if she told me that, because, to be honest, this Ben kind of caught my attention. I don't know what it is about him, but there is something about him that makes me attracted to him. In a sense that has no place among us.

-Do you want to drink something? Iris asks me, shouting so that I can hear her over the music.

Shall I drink something? Like…alcohol?

- I have never drunk... I answer her, bringing my head closer to her ear to make myself heard.

She makes a hand gesture that I don't understand and pulls me after her inside the villa, to the kitchen.

Inside, the music is not that loud and my ears are thanking me for following Iris. She takes two disposable red glasses and pours chocolate liquor into them.

- You will like it. She says, holding out one of the glasses to me.

I accept it reluctantly then bring the glass to my nose. It doesn't smell bad. In fact, the smell of chocolate attracts you. I bring it to my mouth and take a small sip.

-Wow... I say licking the excess from my lips, and she laughs.

- I told you... Says Iris and then pours the entire contents of the glass down her throat, filling it again with alcohol. Shall we go dancing?

-No...I'll just watch for a while.

She winks at me and then disappears into the crowd of dizzy students. I walk around the spacious kitchen analyzing every object in it, until I hear someone raising his voice. When I look at the person in question, my cheeks fill with color.

-S-Sorry...I was just curious and...I start to speak but the words come out strangely from my lips, and Ben laughs.

Because of his vocal timbre, his laugh seems to be torn from the center of the Universe and I find myself clutching my thighs. A foreign sensation stuck to the most private part of my body, just because of his so masculine smile. His gaze touches every centimeter of my body and some thoughts that do not belong to me roam my mind. How would he feel if he touched me? I'd like to know how it feels to touch his thick eyebrows, then my fingers would go down over his nose so straight, then I'd like to know how his beard feels on the inside of my palm. And the lips... I would like to find out how soft those fleshy lips are by touching my lips to his. Then…

- Didn't anyone tell you that it's not nice to stare?

I am pulled from those sinful thoughts and I blush realizing that this is exactly what I was doing. I was staring at him as if he was the first man I had seen up to this age.

-I am sorry…

- Do you know how to say other sentences that do not contain excuses?

I open my mouth to say something but close it knowing that I will apologize again for nothing.

- So you're Anna... He says it as a statement, and I look at him curious about what he wants to say.

I showed up in the morning when he came after Gigi, so...

-My daughter talked a lot about you... What I want to say is that I thank you for watching over her overnight, even if it wasn't your job.

I simply nod my head, not knowing what to answer, or even if I knew what to say, I don't trust my own voice.

- I'm Ben. I didn't show up this morning because I didn't know anything about you.

-And now you know? I ask quickly, then put my hand to my mouth in shame.

- I only know that if my daughter trusts you, I can trust you too.

-Thank you. I answer him smiling.

His eyes stop at something specific on my face and when I thought I couldn't blush any more, my body tells me I can burn. Because that's what I feel. I feel like I'm burning because of his staring.

- In any case, I hope you have fun at the party. He tells me, clearing his throat again, then leaves.

I approach the sink and start splashing my face with cold water, trying to get rid of the heat from my body. God...I have never met anyone who made me feel so sinful just by talking to me. What were all those thoughts of him doing sinful things to me? What the hell was I thinking? But I couldn't help myself. A man like him is every woman's wet dream. I don't know how much longer I can stay at the party. I mean, apart from Iris and Ben, I don't know anyone and I'm not the type to take notice. But that's not the reason why I don't want to stay at the party anymore. The reason is a grown man who makes me think of him in a strange way. I look at my oath and sigh. I have to make the adventure of looking for Iris and telling her that I have to leave.

She won't be happy at all... But, I hope she will understand me knowing that it is my first party I attend.
