Eva. (English version)

Chapter 4

The next chapter contains sensitive scenes, violence and adult language.

After shopping, a busy afternoon and a couple of bottles of water, I'm at home choosing what I'll wear to tonight's party. Marcy and Nina were very specific about the colors they need to wear today to match them but I don't think it's a good idea, so I choose my clothes and prepare them. I am nervous and excited and I don't know what will happen, I just hope I enjoy it.

Hours later I am ready, Marcy's car was parked outside, I left a note for my aunt and I went outside. I got into the car which was driven by her driver.

-You really look divine, Eva. -Nina points out with surprise when she sees me.

-Thank you, I must admit I feel weird. -I confess.

-But don't think you're going to stay like this, uh, the swimsuit you bought is divine and you'll wear it.

-I'm not sure about that, I feel too exposed.

-Nonsense, you look spectacular with the stand.

-We'll see. -I say interrupting the subject. Nina no longer says anything and I appreciate it.

The road is long, I foolishly thought that the party would be at the Galasso's house but no, it's in a beautiful cottage that is owned by them but is not near here.

After an hour we arrived at the place where the party could be, it was on the outskirts of the city, where I could breathe clean and fresh air.

-We have arrived miss. -the driver announces.

Marcy applauds and my nervousness begins again.

We went downstairs and the view of the entrance was impressive, it was a mega house, and I say mega because just saying "big" was not enough. With rustic details a huge garden and frankly, quite eccentric.

We entered and the first thing we saw was a man in charge of security, with a mysterious and rough demeanor, a simple view. Intimidating, no doubt.

-Name. -demands in an authoritarian tone.

-Lowell, Jackson, Palmieri. -says Marcy, batting her black eyelashes.

-Proceed.

We walked inside the house, which was decorated in a fun but sophisticated way. I was starting to like it. I've never been to one of the parties they throw here before and being here makes me feel like I don't believe it yet.

-Eva, Marcy and I want to tell you something.

-Tell me. -I respond being alert, maybe now they will tell me that this has been a joke and that we are not friends.

-You know Ian and Harry will be here, and well...

-You want to be with them, I understand.

-I say breathing a sigh of relief.

-Doesn't it bother you? -asks Marcy in shame.

-No, go ahead, I've had you to myself all last week and these days, so go on.

-Let's go change first. They can't see us like this. -Nina points out.

-Yes!" shouts Marcy in that childish tone of voice.

-All right, let's go. -I said as we walked, I guess it was the dressing rooms.

Contrary to what I thought, we went into one of the rooms and got dressed, or did we undress? Nina and Marcy came out of the dressing room with their suits on.

-Ready Eva?

I came out a little uncomfortable, it wasn't like I'd never worn a bikini but right now and in this place I don't feel safe.

-I don't like it, I think I'll go home.

-Eva, you can't do that, Marco will feel bad.

-Look, take my sarong, put it on, so you don't show too much. -Marcy offered me.

I took the sarong and put it on, at least the bottom was covered.

Nina and Marcy hugged me and we said goodbye and each one left with their respective boyfriends. I came down a little hesitant, looking for someone ... or rather Marco.

-I thought you wouldn't come. -says an unmistakable voice behind me.

I turned to see him and I swear to heaven that nothing compares to what I have seen of him, Marco.

She wears a beach shorts and is shirtless, I can have an incredible view of those muscular arms and his strong abs, his blue-green eyes today shine more than other days, his thin but kissable lips smile sensually and his barely noticeable beard made my legs shake with emotion, like any girl in front of him. I wanna guess.

-Hello Marco.

-You look incredible, you are very beautiful Eva.

Marco's words made my heart beat a thousand times.

-Do you want something to drink? -he offers.

-Soda.

-All right, soda.

He walked to the refrigerator and pulled out a can of soda. He came back to me and smiled. A little bit nervous.

-I give you the option to open it yourself, I don't want you to be suspicious of my intentions.

-I cannot suspect you, Marco. -I assured and suddenly I questioned myself in my mind if it was actually truth.

Marco came too close to me, bringing me back to the present, brushed my cheek with his fingers and smiled, which made me smile too. The incredible blue color of her eyes lost under his abundant eyelashes, his lips came close to mine, brushing them slowly, his hands settled on my waist making contact with my naked skin. Our lips joined slowly, his tongue tentatively brushing my lips, it feels so well being like this, which again seemed so unreal. I waited so long for this moment and now that I' m living it, it seems like a lie.

-You don't know how long I've waited for this. -He confesses once he has released my body.

-You have no idea how long I've waited for this too. -I dare to say.

Marco smiles at me, I smile at him, this is just like a movie.

We went out to the pool where everyone was laughing and having fun, Nina and Marcy were with Ian and Harry in the water, kissing and stroking each other in a way that was uncomfortable to watch.

Marco and I went into the water, the looks of everyone there made me feel strange, after a long time in the pool drinking soda and beer the rest of us, we entered the house when the water was cold enough to cause hypothermia, once inside he sent me off with the girls and Marco left with Ian and Harry.

-And how are you doing with Marco? -Nina asks, raising her eyebrows in a playful way.

-We're just friends. Besides, I'm not sure he has feelings for me.

-Let's go with them. -suggests Marcy.

-You go.

-Eva, Ian and Harry are very nice and funny guys, they are not like you think.

-Nina says.

-Girls, don't take this amiss but Ian and Harry are not people I like, let's just say that Cleo had a lot to do with Ian and especially Harry treating me badly.

-What did they do to you? -asks Marcy.

-They told me things just ... offensive, that how much I charged for my services and things like that, that I don't want to remember.

-I'm sorry Eva, I didn't know. -Nina apologizes.

-Don't worry, it's not your fault.

-Is it true that Harry had something to do with Cleo? -she asks in a low voice.

-I don't think it's a good idea for me to be the one to tell about this.

-Please Eva, if you know that Harry and Cleo's relationship was true, please tell me.

I just nodded.

-Damn i***t!

-Don't think too much of it. -I said as if it would change how much it probably hurt.

Marcy and Nina remained serious after the talk they had, both of them walking out to get some air. Marco came up to where I was sitting and I smiled.

-Something to drink?

-A soda. -I asked again.

-I'll be right back.

Marco walked back to the refrigerator and took a soda from it, uncorked it and put it in a glass since according to Marcy the can was a germ factory. As he looked at Marco, Harry approached him before moving on, his face becoming worried or upset.

I was going to try to find out what was going on but a body in front of me blocked me from getting up.

-Hello Eva. -Ian greets me.

-If you're looking for Marcy, she's out there.

-I'm not looking for her, in fact I wanted to ask you a favor.

-Me?

-Yes, in a few days Marcy and I are going to celebrate our first year together and I don't know what to get her, so you and she has become friends and I would like to know if you would help me to prepare something special.

-I don't understand why you come and look for me, but if it's any use to you she wants you to be more detail and such things, you could plan a dinner for her or something similar.

-Thanks Eva you don't know what a favor you just did for me. -He said smiling oddly.

-Eva here sends Marco your drink. -says Harry arriving with soda in a glass.

I looked at him suspiciously as he held the glass for me.

-Take it, I won't stand here, Nina is waiting for me. -He says abruptly.

-Well, it's just that...

-Marco poured it -he interrupted -but maybe if you don't trust him, I'll take it and he'll bring you one when he comes back.

-Where did he go?

-Someone destroyed something in one of the rooms -He says with a shrug.

I took the glass and put it in my mouth, drank a little and didn't taste any alcohol.

So I kept it.

Soon people started going out to the pool again, by then I was not feeling well at all.

I saw everything blurry and things happening in slow motion. Something was not right.

I went upstairs to look for Marco, I opened a room and nothing, I opened a second room and I felt someone hugging me from behind, I felt kisses on my neck and shoulders, I could feel a hand reaching up to my breasts, my panic increased and when I discovered a tattoo on it I knew everything was wrong, very wrong. I abruptly separated from the person who was caressing me and I could see Harry with an amusing look and a wicked smile.

-You will enjoy this my very dear lady.

My only instinct was to step back, but I made a mistake, my fear was huge and it was much more when I bumped into someone, it was Ian, who looked at me the same or worse than Harry a few moments ago.

-Hello, darling.

Ian was completely naked. I tried to run to the door but Harry's arm grabbed me tightly. He pulled me to the bed and threw me roughly on it.

He got on top of me and started kissing me desperately, his caresses were harsh and painful, he pulled away from me and pulled my sarong leaving it behind, he tried to take off my bikini and I refused, I wanted to scream, but I couldn't, we struggled for a moment, I managed to hit

Harry clumsily, he got upset and then he just punched my cheek.

Everything was confusing and slow, it seemed like a nightmare, Harry and Ian were touching me at the same time, I felt dirty, I tried to get out of it and I only received another punch from Harry, I felt a sharp pain, it was burning, it really hurt, the tears were starting to come out of my eyes, I tried to scream but Ian I covered my mouth with his hand, I bit it as hard as I could, Ian complained and hit me so hard that I saw black, I no longer feel anything, no pain, no disgust, no courage. Perhaps I was asleep and this was a bad dream. Maybe it's just a nightmare.
