Charlotte let the water trail down on her slowly, she was fond of spending time under the shower, everything just felt alright whenever she had water rushing down her, washing through her skin and melting feelings in her. She loved the way it felt against the sensitive parts of her body, her tits to be precise. Having the shower rush down on them was an arousing experience, but today was different.
Yes, she still felt that lovely sensation as the cold water grazed her skin, she felt that arousal but then she remembered the only man who had taken the responsibility of quenching that desire for the past two years. Standing under that shower with her eyes closed reminded her of all the things they had done, the way he had treated her like an egg. So that was all for nothing, she still found it difficult to believe, how could someone who made her feel so special suddenly lose interest in her and want nothing to do with her anymore?
Did that even make any sense? Did he love her? Yes, did he care for her? Yes! So what the bloody hell happened? What happened to them? How did they lose what they had? It just didn’t check out. She knew there had to be an external factor that she wasn’t bringing into consideration, probably because she had no idea what the fuck it was.
Unable to relive those painful memories anymore, she turned off the shower and grabbed her freshly wrapped towel from the hanger in the bathroom. She stepped out of the bathtub and tied the towel around her chest. As much as she didn’t want to think about him, she just found herself doing that over and over again. Not like she expected this to be easy but it was just more difficult than she expected.
She couldn’t even remember how many times she had said the F word today, she cussed whenever she thought of him, whenever she remembered how they used to be, whenever she felt the pain he had caused her.
Just as she stepped out to the large bedroom, her phone rang and she hesitated before going to take it. She didn’t even want to take any calls, she was on a damn holiday, it was the 23rd day of December and she wasn’t expected back at the office until the 2nd of January, so they should let her utilize her free time.
She picked up the phone and realized it was Olivia. Holy shit! She promised she would call or text as soon as she reached Rovaniemi airport, but she was so occupied with the thought of her ex that she forgot.
Charlotte clicked the green button and answered the call before it would disconnect. “Hey, what’s up girl?” she said and forced a smile.
Yes, Olivia couldn’t see her but someone she would be able to decipher her mood, so it was best to fake a smile. Charlotte always called her a digital witch because of that ability.
“I have been trying to get through to you for the past thirty minutes. Are you alright? Have you checked in at the hotel, are you safe?” her best friend asked with a worried tone.
“Relax Ollie, I am perfectly fine. The flight arrived earlier than I planned, so I just got out of the shower now. Like I promised you, I haven’t committed suicide yet or tried to injure myself. Instead, I am going to have the best time of my life here. Also, we should totally come check this place out next year, it is such a beautiful place, but it won't be much fun without you, girl.” I replied.
“Awn, I am sorry I can't be there with you, cutie pie, but we will definitely visit there together next year, I have a gut feeling about that. I am glad that you are okay, please take care of yourself. What exactly do you plan to do tonight? You sound like you already have it planned out,” Olivia queried.
Charlotte chuckled softly. “Yes, actually I do. I am going out to a local bar in the outskirts of the city, I will get a drink there and drown my sorrows with them,” she announced and giggled.
“That is awesome, you know what? Dot just get a drink, take as much as your head can carry. You know, get drunk, find a handsome muscular Finnish guy and ride him to the moon girl, because you deserve happiness, especially on a freaking holiday, you hear me?” She encouraged me.
Charlotte laughed. “Aye Captain, I will do exactly that, nothing else can please me right now. I mean, except for one of those Olivia hugs, I miss those already.” Charlotte whined.
“Awn, don’t worry baby girl. Just have your fun, and don’t think about that useless douche bag, he doesn’t deserve your love or care. Make sure to take care of yourself, I will be waiting here for you when it is all over, and then you can get as many hugs as you want, sweetie.”
Charlotte nodded, once again she expected Olivia to know that she did, even without seeing her. “I will do everything you say. Also, if that asshole comes looking for me, or asks for me, tell him I left the country and I ain’t coming back.”
“Oh, I would do worse than that. Also, I have never heard you use the word asshole before, is there something I need to know??” Olivia teased.
Charlotte laughed; she didn’t even realize she had used that word. “Well, let’s just say I met a new kind of person. I will update you when I am back.”
“That is great; you should do more of that. Make new friends, have fun, but just make sure that my spot in your heart doesn’t get taken or there will be no home for you when you come back.” Olivia threatened. She damn meant what she said, if she wouldn’t be part of Charlotte’s life, then no one as well would.
“Hahaha!! Don’t worry girl, no one is taking your place in my life, it is a promise. I need to go now, I have to get ready before nightfall, I will call you tomorrow because I might be too drunk tonight to take your call.” She assured me and then they laughed.
