Love Worth Fighting For

93 Show me then...

Elena laughed, trying to cover up her current nervousness.

“Answer Elena!”

“I’m not a teenager, so I think you should know the answer to your question, Christ,” Elena replies quietly, trying to stay calm so Christian doesn’t suspect her.

Christian smiles, Christian slowly lowers his head and lands a kiss on Elena’s lips involving his skill so stunning that it makes Elena suffocate because Christian doesn’t give her time to take oxygen.

“Want to go out?”

“Out where?”

Christian brings his forehead to Elena’s. “You really like this town, don’t you?”

“Yes.”

“Then let’s explore this city, you can see Eiffel from a different perspective.”

.....

“Different point of view, what does that mean?”

Christian smiles. “You’ll know when we get out, but that’s if you’ll accept my invitation to explore this city.”

Elena nodded her head quickly. “I want, I want.”

“Get ready then,”

“Prepare for what?” asked Elena confusedly, her brain still blank since she heard Christian’s invitation to make love a moment ago.

“Exploring this city, what else? Don’t tell me you’re thinking of other fun things we can do in this room with...”

An annoyed Elena covered Christian’s mouth with both hands. “I’m not as perverted as you, Christ. So don’t think like that, now you better go back to your room to get ready. Since I’m also getting ready, there’s no way I won’t be exploring this city in pajamas like this.”

“Why is that? Is there something wrong with these penguin-patterned pajamas with a hat?”

“Ish, his name is Pororo. Not a penguin in a hat,” said Elena curtly.

Christian laughs. “Well, is there really something wrong with what I said? Isn’t this a penguin with a hat and glasses, huh?”

“Never mind, let’s not talk about it anymore. Now that you’re out, I’m going to change,” Elena snarled at Christian.

The stubborn Christian chooses to remain silent, he doesn’t budge from where he is standing even though Elena has used all her strength to push him away.

“No need to change clothes, just wear a jacket to protect yourself.”

“It’s winter now and it’s snowing quite a lot. You want me to wear clothes like this in this cold weather? Oh no thanks, I’d better be in this room then,” said Elena curtly.

A small smile appears on Christian’s lips, he forgets that now the snow has started to cover the streets of Paris. It would be very risky to take Elena out in winter like today.

“I changed my mind,” Christian says quietly. “We’re just in our rooms, it would be very risky to fly in a helicopter around this city if it was snowing.”

“Wait, so you want to take me to export this city by helicopter?” asked Elena in a choked voice.

Christian nodded. “Yeah, what else do you use? A car or a motorbike? I don’t feel comfortable around people.”

Elena shook her head, she really couldn’t believe Christian’s words. The level of Christian madness is really at the top level.

Without guilt, Christian walks towards the bed leaving Elena still standing in front of the window.

“Close the window blinds and come here, let’s just lie in bed. We’d better watch a movie now,” Christian says again, patting the empty bed beside him guiltily.

Elena took a deep breath, she was really at a loss for words to face Christian who changed his mind so easily. Because she still wanted to see the beauty of the Eiffel tower, Elena did not close the window she had opened earlier. She keeps her bedroom window open and this makes Christian unhappy, several times Christian chuckles in annoyance. Even though he knows that hotel rooms have glass that cannot be seen from the outside, Christian still doesn’t like it when his togetherness with Elena in the room is exposed, Christian doesn’t want the beauty of Elena’s untouched body to be seen by others. That’s why as soon as Elena climbs into bed timidly, Christian jumps out of bed and rushes to close the window with a grunt.

“Why is it closed?” Elena protested loudly.

“It’s late and we’re going to watch a movie with the lights off, it would be very uncomfortable to open the window,” Christian replies calmly as he grabs the television remote on the table and starts turning on the big television to watch his favorite movie.

Elena chuckles in annoyance, she never wins an argument with Christian. When she was about to reach for the drinking water on the nightstand, suddenly the corner of Elena’s eyes fell on the television screen.

“Not a horror film, I don’t want it,” said Elena panicked when she saw Christian stop his choice of the film trilogy The Conjuring. “Please...”

Christian who was deliberately trying to tease Elena, smiled a little, triumphantly. “It’s just a movie, Elena. You watched it with me anyway and it’s an old film, the storyline isn’t as scary as you think.”

Elena shook her head in panic, her hands gripping the edge of the blanket that wrapped her body tightly. From the moment she saw Christian open the horror movie gallery, Elena immediately snuggled into the covers. She was really scared and couldn’t watch that kind of movie.

“I’m scared.. I’m really scared, Christ. Please, just watch another movie. I promise I’ll do what you want,” said Elena hopefully, her eyes welling with tears as she spoke. The image of a ghost she had seen a few years ago in the library traumatized her, even though many people convinced her that the ghost didn’t exist, but Elena still didn’t change her mind. Her fear of such a creature was still very clear, the image of how the white clothed figure covered in blood was still vivid in Elena’s mind.

Christian’s evil smile appears instantly when he hears Elena’s words. “You’re going to do whatever I want? Can you keep your word?”

Elena who panicked and scared, immediately nodded her head quickly without thinking twice. Elena didn’t realize she was making a terrible deal with Christian.

Christian quickly moved his film gallery from horror to romance films, although at first Christian wanted to watch the Squid Game which was very popular but he chose to watch other films to make Elena comfortable.

After the movie starts, Christian then puts down the remote in his hand and rushes to the wall to turn off all the lights in the room and make the television the only light source in such a large hotel room.

Elena’s heart beats ten times faster when she sees an undressed Christian walking towards her.

“Take off your clothes,” Christian says quietly.

Elena’s chest immediately tightened, the words she had dreaded so much finally escaped Christian’s lips.

“You promised earlier, Christ,” Elena sobbed hoarsely.

Christian smiles. “Didn’t you also promise me to fulfill all my wishes a few minutes ago, huh? You certainly haven’t forgotten that, have you?”

“I remember, but you didn’t mean this. Except for that, I’ll do whatever you want.” Elana tries to bargain with Christian’s request.

Christian shakes his head. “I just want that, quickly take off your clothes.”

“Christ...”

Christian who couldn’t wait to take a deep breath, the next second he was up on the bed, crawling over to Elena who was sitting close to the couch with her hands gripping the edge of the blanket that protected her.

“I just want you to take off your clothes, I want to watch a movie by sharing the warmth of your body with you. Unless you want us to make love then I won’t refuse.”

Elena didn’t budge, she was still silent and trying to digest the words Christian had just said.

Realizing that Elena doesn’t understand where the conversation is going, Christian slowly reaches for the blanket that Elena is still holding tightly on to.

“You trust me, don’t you?” Christian asks in a low, half-whispered voice.

“Yes but..”

“Show me then, now take off your clothes.” Christian again orders Elena to follow his will, Christian really can’t wait to feel the softness of Elena’s body which he can only imagine. Elena really is still so hard for Christian to touch even though the girl is already his.

“Elena...do it now!”
