Chapter 59
- I got to the airport with his men and we all sat on a long empty bench, waiting for him to show up. It wasn't up to five minutes later when he strolled in with one of his men following behind. My eyes had not left his figure as he walked closer to where we sat. I was finally seeing him since I woke up on that soft sand alone yesterday morning. Eleanor had told me he had hurried out of the island that morning with his suitcase. I had told myself to not feel wronged because from the onset, he didn't owe me anything. He never forced me to have sex with him, I did on my own accord. But it didn't change the fact that I naturally felt hurt. I wondered if there had been another explanation as to why he had disappeared again, but was it really worth listening to? We were about traveling back to Italy and things were definitely bound to return to normalcy.
- While we waited for the pilot to be done with his checks, Manuel remained in a conversation with the man he had arrived with. A part of me felt like he was purposely avoiding having to talk with me, so I equally acted blind towards him. The last thing I'd do is try to say hello to a man who fucked me like I meant everything, and then disappeared the next morning. I wasn't so desperate. Soon, we all went aboard and jet took off. I had stayed at the other end of the plane, quite a distance away from Manuel. I hadn't gotten up from my seat except I wanted to relieve myself. I tried to sleep for most part of the journey, and just remained swallowed by my thoughts for the other part. The journey took roughly 7 hours and once we landed the airport in Milan, I felt that tingling feeling of tension in my belly. It had all come to an end. We took our luggages and stepped out of the plane.
- The only luggage I had was the clothe on me, as I had left the clothes Alexa had given me, back on the island. The refreshing air from the open space kissed my skin, and I sighed. We all walked towards the main part of the airport and through our entire journey there, he hadn't spared me a single glance.
