Love curves and heartbreak novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16: The rain

As I rise to start the day, I keep thinking about last night’s moment with Ethan. I feel like it was all a dream. It wasn’t something snatched up at the moment like the other kisses… this was different. Ethan was different.

If my body spoke for me, it would tell me that it all felt very real: the way he took me to dance, how he held my hand in his big hands and caressed my fingers, how he lowered his head to look directly at me as I felt my breath hitch.

While I wondered if, by some chance, he could hear how my heart sounded like it was trembling and that I felt like it was coming out, I think even the other people in the restaurant could hear it.

So many things were happening at once, and I was just focusing on how his hand traveled down my back in small circles until it almost reached) my neck. Unfortunately, I have to accept that I like him again in my life. It’s not logical; it goes against what my head says is right, but it is what

it is.

Seattle has been a city that left me with good memories for a few days, but now I have to return home, work, and look forward to what the future brings. Which apparently is a huge amount of water.

From the windows of the taxi, I can see the drops hitting continuously without ceasing; on the contrary, the tinkling of the incessant/rain gradually increases. I guess it’s normal because no one seems to flinch.

We all arrive at the airport, it’s crowded, and there seem to be some delays. We are at an airline counter waiting to have our tickets checked, and many people are in the same situation. I just sit on one of the nearby seats with my suitcase to the side.

“Apparently, we have a problem; there was an overbooking of flights, and not all of us are going to be able to travel now. Only two people can go now, and two later in the evening flight,” says Clark suddenly, followed by Ethan and Kate. Of course, she couldn’t stay

calm.

“How is it? It’s impossible! I have so many things to do! This must have to be a joke? I have important work to do!” she says with a smug tone, as if she is going to work on the project, making it seem like she is the one doing everything. Clark sighs and puts his hand to his face.

“Well, my first idea was to go with Ethan, and then Kate and Priscilla would go later, so I could get the job done with the suppliers, Ethan could. finalize the details of the contract and send it to his boss as soon as possible.”

Oh god, no, don’t leave me with her. No, no, no, no, no. I imagine her bossing me around and treating me like a cockroach all day. If she treats me badly in front of everyone, how will she be when we are alone?

Kate looks at me as if she thought the same thing: “what a nightmare to stay with Priscilla.” At least it’s mutual.

“But if Kate is so busy… I dan stay with Priscilla and Kate, you can go with Ethan,” says Clark, and this perspective certainly pleases her more.

She looks at Ethan and gives him a cheeky smile. Of course, having dinner with him, working together, she could accomplish her advances. Ethan says absolutely nothing. hints if he likes this perspective better or not.

I mean, Kate is an attractive woman, although I suppose he must be tired of pretty women chasing him around and throwing themselves at his

feet.

“I have no problem staying a little longer. I can continue working from here,” I say. Okay, I prefer my boss over Kate; maybe that way I can improve the image I have with him. Finally, there will be a few more hours in which I will continue glued to my computer trying to advance something.

“I can stay too… so you can get ahead, Clark. And Kate can work on the first drafts, since she has so many things to do,” says Ethan suddenly, leaving us all looking at him.

Sorry, what?

“Oh Ethan… it’s really not necessary,” says my boss, completely embarrassed, while Kate can’t believe it. Me alone with him. It looks like a joke of fate.

“It’s really not a problem,” Ethan says kindly.

Obviously now, he is the best man in the world. The Savior. Well, maybe it’s not that bad; finally, it’s not that it’s a long time, just a few hours Then take the flight with him, it’s not a big deal. After all, we are friends, right? Surely, we’ll talk only about work.

So that is. A very spoiled and reluctantly Kate left with Clark, leaving me alone with Ethan. We sat in an airport cate, each one with his own

Chapter 16. The rain

computer, working and typing without many words.

There were hours left for our flight, however, the sky seemed to be falling outside. It was raining so much that you couldn’t see what was happening outside through the window.

Of course, after an hour, we were told that no plane was going to fly under these circumstances until tomorrow. Until tomorrow… he and I are in another city, alone.

What were we going to do?

I had a feeling of uncertainty; I didn’t know what was going to happen to me for the rest of the day. I imagined being at home tonight, sleeping in my bed, but obviously that wasn’t going to happen.

Ethan was organizing everything while I stood there in the middle of the hustle and bustle, stunned. I told Suzy that I wasn’t going to arrive and mentally prepared my schedule and how I was going to reorganize it.

Now I was in the position that Kate really wanted. Only that… I was not very happy with this. Finally, the airline told us that they were going to pay us for a hotel; there were some options in the area. We decided to go right now before the situation got worse.

But as soon as I got out, I realized that this was going to be a challenge. There was torrential rain, and the wind was furious; it didn’t take long for me to get completely soaked; my coat wasn’t waterproof, my shoes, everything while we were walking to take a taxi..

Several people were in the same situation, since many passengers had their flights delayed or canceled for the horrendous weather. We managed to get a taxi that took us to the closest hotel. Ethan looked at me worried and tried to solve everything that was happening, he was in charge of asking about the hotel and looking for the taxi.

When we arrived at the hotel, my suitcase fell completely into a puddle; I took it out as best I could, but it was obvious that it was completely soaked, and I was afraid that its contents were already completely wet. I only thought that I would have to take out my clothes and see how I dried them in the room. This is a disaster.

Ethan tried to cover me with his coat, but to no avail. I was already shivering as I entered the hotel. And oh boy… It was crowded!

Obviously, there were already many people who, like us, did not have reservations but thought they would have a warm bed, a bath, and some food to spend the night in this deluge.

For a long time, we waited: Ethan didn’t say much to me, just little words of encouragement as the drops of water also fell from his hair onto his face. When we finally got to the counter, but something else was waiting for us. Of course.

“I’m sorry, we don’t have more single rooms available,” said the very serious and busy lady.

“What…?” I said, astonished.

“As I said, unfortunately, there are so many passengers affected by the rain, and they occupied all the individual rooms,” she said casually.

“Bu… but…” I was still in shock.

“What rooms are available?” Ethan asked as if nothing had happened, trying to find a solution, since I couldn’t even articulate a word.

I was completely soaked from head to toe, with my suitcase in the same state, so I wouldn’t even have clothes to wear. And this lady told me that there were no more rooms. What were we going to do?

“We have a double room left, with one bed,” she said as if it were a most normal procedure.

One bed? I looked at Ethan in terror, my mouth trembling.

“And with two beds… or…or… a triple room?” I only managed to ask.
