Chapter 14 - On Air (1/2)

We were both embarrassed. Blood rushes through my veins, breathing gets heavier but soon it returns back to normal. I never felt this type of amusement in my whole life.

I've been physically intimate with other girls before but I was not ambushed or hesitant all those time.

Stella kept her eyes down,trying to avoid eye contact with me perhaps. I got up from the grassy field,shaking off the dirt from my back. Stella looked at my direction, her eyes flickered with remorse and lamentation.

” I... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have forced you.” Her gaze directed downward,pressing her lips firmly together. I can see the guilt in her eyes.

” It's fine. Thankfully we didn't got hurt.”

” Still it happened because I insisted-”

” It's fine,really. I get to experience something new thanks to your coaching classes.” I gave off a playful smile, raising my eyebrows. She kept her eye fixed at me and finally laughed out with glee.

” After all I'm a good teacher. By the way my fee is still on hold right?”

” Yes and I've already arranged it which you'll see tomorrow.”

” Then lets go back to our hotel and rest our bodies. I'm totally exhausted.”

” Yeah me too.”

After we got back to our hotel we jumped into our bed. Both of us had no energy left but our sweating bodies compelled us to take a bath.

I decided to use the bathroom after Stella. She got out wearing a bath robe, water dripping from her hair. I finished my bath and got out wearing a t-shirt with shorts.

Getting out from the bathroom I saw Stella was already laying down on her side of the bed. Her eyes were shut together.

I lightly shook her shoulder ” Hey, you awake ? ” and asked softly.

She opened her eyes and yawned like a kitty.

” What”

” I'm ordering dinner what will you have?”

” Anything is fine, just bring me some soda or lemonade with it.”

” Okay.”

” Hmm.”

As usual our second night went like the last one but this time we slept like logs.

Our third day in Rome started off by getting ready for our next destination.

I am not a big fan of Naples nor well informed about that place. So I made the arrangements in my style. Since we woke up early, we were able to finish getting dressed at about 5.40 am in the morning. Unlike other girls Stella doesn't take much time in getting ready. She always preferred the natural, simple look. Stella wore a blouse with a skirt and a pair of white sneakers.

As much I like her down-to-earth look, I wasn't happy to see her in this getup. I understand that yesterday we had to dress up in a casual attire since we were going to tour the places riding our bicycles. So I expected her to be dressed in a more elegant way today.

” Go get changed.”

” Why?” She asked raising up her face at me

” Cause I said so.”

” But what wrong with this clothes?”

” We are going on a tour not for shopping in supermarket.” I got bit annoyed at her.

” Fine.” She went back and came wearing a floral dress which flared upon her knee.

I wasn't satisfied with it at all.

” Don't you have anything more elegant or some designer clothes?” I blurted out in dejection.
