Love Worth Fighting For

92 Let’s make love

Hotel Plaza Athens, Paris. 10.00 AM

A bellboy who helped carry Elena and Christian’s bags stopped in front of a room that had the best view of the Eiffel Tower.

“This is your room, monsieur.”

“No, this is her room,” Christian replies curtly.

“But according to the records, this room is yours, monsieur.”

Christian, who is still annoyed, grabs his bag which the officer brought with him roughly. “This is my room,” Christian replies quickly, as quickly as his movement hits the door handle on his left. “And the room is her.”

Without waiting for a response from Elena, Christian immediately went into his room, leaving Elena and the bellboy who still seemed confused by what had happened.

Understanding that Christian is still angry, Elena chooses to remain silent. After the bellboy opened the door to her room, Elena immediately entered and thanked him politely. Elena took a deep breath as she looked around the room, Christian Clarke’s taste was never wrong. Luxury and class, those are two things that can never be separated from Christian.

The flickering lights of the Eiffel Tower in the distance caught Elena’s attention, even though she had been to Paris a few days before, the atmosphere that Elena felt was very different. Being in a room of one of the best hotels in Paris that is so comfortable gives a different comfort and sensation from what Elena got when she went with Jason a few weeks ago.

.....

Not wanting to enjoy the beauty of the Eiffel Tower alone, Elena then rushed to unpack the contents of her backpack and took out her best sleeping pajamas. Pororo’s cartoon pajamas that she had never worn before, without wasting any time, Elena rushed into the bathroom to clean her body. She wants to spend her first night in Paris with Christian with a good impression.

“Showering was the right decision,” Elena said softly as she rubbed her wet hair with a small towel.

Not waiting for her hair to dry first, Elena then immediately left her room to approach Christian.

“Christ, you haven’t slept yet have we? Can we talk?”

There was no answer, even though she was in a hotel that had soundproofed room facilities, but Elena was sure that Christian could hear his voice.

“Christ... I can’t sleep if you’re still angry, we need to talk. Is this what you want? Take me all the way to Paris just to see I’m mad at you? Even though the Eiffel Tower is so beautiful tonight, don’t you want it?” see him with me?”

Just like before, Cristian didn’t respond to Elena’s words. Christian who is still sitting on the sofa chooses to remain silent listening to Elena who is trying to seduce him to talk, Christian is still annoyed because he knows that he is the one who made Jason take Elena to Paris. To Elena’s dream city. Christian curses the lie that Elena had fed to Jason by being rude to Elena at that time.

“Sleep, huh? It’s okay then, I’ll just sleep too,” said Elena again, her voice showing great disappointment. “Good night, Christ. Have a nice dream.”

Christian immediately flinched when he heard Elena’s goodnight, with Christian half running towards the door and opening it in a hurry. By the time Christian opens the door, Elena is almost inside her room.

“You’re not hungry?” Christian asks coldly, trying to cover up his awkwardness.

“No.”

Christian snorts in annoyance. “You bad liar.” The next second Christian bursts into Elena’s room, past Elena who is standing in front of the door. Seeing Christian immediately reach for the phone in the room, Elena came into the room, having previously closed the door to Christian’s room which was open.

“Send it ASAP, we’re both hungry and remember I don’t want any mistakes,” Christian said coldly as he ended his conversation with the receptionist who received his call.

Elena smiled. “Don’t want to take a shower first?”

“Bath?”

“Yeah, you’d be better off taking a shower,” answered Elena quietly.

Christian is silent, considering the suggestion Elena had just said.

“How?”

“Ok, I’m going to take a shower,” Christian replies quickly. “Here.”

“Eh?”

“Why? There’s a problem? Haven’t you heard from the bellboy who helped us earlier, that this room is mine, huh?”

“Yes but...”

“No buts!”

Elena took a deep breath, talking to Christian who was sulking like he was now making her have to have a lot of patience.

“Okay, now you take a shower. I’ll get a change of clothes for you,” said Elena relented.

Like a sulking child, Christian immediately rushes into the bathroom leaving Elena on the ground uttering a single word. Elena really needs a double reserve of patience to be by Christian’s side, the man has an unpredictable attitude.

Not having the courage to open Christian’s bag, Elena finally decides to take the tote bag into her room and let Christian find his own clothes. Just as Elena had just opened the window, there was a polite knock on the door of the hotel staff who brought Christian’s order beforehand.

“Bonsoir Madame. Je veux livrer de la nourriture.”

Elena smiled, although she didn’t speak French very well but she understood the sentence that the young woman who was carrying the food had just said.

“Please come in,” replied Elena politely.

The hotel staff immediately entered the room after getting permission from Elena, the woman quickly arranged the food she brought neatly on the table.

“Appetite vouchers.”

“Merci beaucoup,” Elena replied back with a smile.

“Who?” Christian asks suddenly.

Elena immediately closed the door and looked at Christian who had just come out of the bathroom using only one towel to protect his lower body.

“Hotel staff who delivered the food,” Elena answered quietly while pointing at the table which was now filled with food. “I brought your bag from the front room.”

Christian turns to his black tote bag which is on the bed, without saying thank Christian rushes over to the bed and looks for sleeping clothes for him. Without warning, Christian immediately took off the towel that was on his waist just like that. Elena who was looking at him immediately screamed loudly and immediately turned her gaze to another direction.

“I’m not a ghost, Elena. You don’t have to scream that loud.”

Elena, who was already staring at the wall, clenched her jaw. “You’re scarier than a ghost, Christ!”

“What?”

“At least you put your clothes on in the bathroom or...”

“Or what?” Cut Christian curtly.

Elena took a deep breath, she had forgotten that Christian would never feel guilty. “No, it’s okay. Just hurry up and get dressed, then eat. Smelling this food makes me hungry.”

Christian smiled a little, because he too was hungry, Christian chose not to continue his argument with Elena. He prefers to get dressed immediately so he can enjoy the food that smells really tempting. As soon as he finished putting on his sleepwear, Christian immediately walked towards the dining table, following Elena who had already sat down.

“No, I still have a lot of food.” Elena tries to resist Christian’s good intentions of adding a piece of salmon to her plate.

“You’re too skinny, you need to eat a lot and don’t refuse,” Christian replies curtly, continuing to move other food onto Elena’s already mountain plate.

Elena stared in horror at her plate, she was suddenly full when she saw the mountain of food.

“Eat!”

“Christ...”

“Eat or I will eat you right now!”

Realizing that Christian can do what he just said, Elena relents. She chooses to eat the food on her plate slowly while stealing glances at Christian who is eating with such a beautiful style of eating, Christian’s eating style is so neat that it reminds Elena of old films that tell about noble families. Christian really is in such a high class and Elena is increasingly hesitant to catch up with him.

“Nice?”

Elena nodded slowly. “This is the best food I’ve ever eaten.”

Christian doesn’t change his facial expression, he’s trying to read Elena speaking the truth. Christian’s feeling of regret is getting bigger at this time.

“Thank you, if it weren’t for you I wouldn’t be able to...”

“I’m sorry Elena,” Christian says quietly.

Elena’s one eyebrow rose. “Sorry, sorry for what else? You haven’t done anything wrong to me, Christ.”

“Sorry for hurting you so much that you ended up having to be carried by Jason to walk,” Christian says coldly, mentioning Jason’s name making the fire that was already burning inside him rekindle. “If at that time I...”

“Why was it discussed again? Didn’t we agree not to discuss the incident again, huh? Then why are you bringing it up again?”

Christian grabs a handkerchief that is on the table and immediately wipes his lips roughly before finally getting up from the chair and walking towards the window that Elena opened earlier, Christian stands with his lips tightly locked staring at the Eiffel tower which is not far from the hotel where he is staying.

“What else?” asked Elena again, Elena would rather face an angry Christian than face her in this sulky fashion. Elena did not have the talent to seduce someone.

Christian slowly turned to Elena who was standing on his right, without both Christian reached out his hand to Elena, asking her to come closer. Elena, who has no other choice then accepts Christian’s hand and walks towards the man with mixed feelings.

“Never go out with any man again without my permission, Elena. Remember I’m such a jealous man,” Christian says softly, his left hand lifting Elena’s face up closer to him.

“Me and Jason...”

“Don’t mention that firefighter’s name again, Elena!” Christian growls warningly. “Hearing his bad name makes me sick.”

Elena pursed her lips. “Sorry.”

“Only that?” Christian quips sarcastically.

“Hmm?”

“That’s all you’re going to say after pissing me off hearing his name come out of your mouth?”

Elena tried to smile. “Ok, now tell me, what should I do to make you happy.”

“Sleep with me tonight,” Christian says without hesitation.

“Chris!” Elena screams frantically, as frantic as she tries to free herself from Christian’s grip.

.....

Sensing that Elena wanted to get away from him quickly, Christian used the strength of his body to hold Elena against the wall. “Why? Is there a problem? You’re my woman, Elena. You can’t refuse me, and your parents already know who I am, so there’s no problem, right?”

Elena’s chest heaved up and down, she was literally driven almost crazy by Christian. Elena was absolutely sure if Christian was being serious right now, serious about asking her to sleep with him or serious about wanting to test her. Elena knows Christian is not a man who can easily sleep with just any woman, as the heir to a rich family Christian is required not to sow seeds irresponsibly.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to take this relationship slowly before? But why are you in such a rush now? What are you afraid of? I’m not going anywhere, am I?” Elena racked her brains, trying to divert the conversation that made her so uncomfortable. “Even up to now no one knows about this relationship, right? You haven’t said anything to my parents either even though you’ve met them a few times, so I think it would be best if we didn’t rush things this way.”

Christian’s expression immediately changes, it’s clear how disappointed he is right now.

“Agreed,?” asked Elena quietly.

Christian sharpens his gaze again. “You’ve had sex before, haven’t you? What you said earlier wasn’t just an excuse to reject me, was it?”

Damn Christian!
