“Surprised about what?”
“Surprised that you would say that I’ve pulled away from you .”
Now he was the one who was confused. “Now you need to tell me what you mean,” he said, as he took a step closer to her. His heart beat picked up as hope filled him.
She paused for a long time, and just looked at him without answering.
“I thought you had made it very clear that night we were together, that you were not interested in anything beyond that,” she finally said, her face aflame and her arms crossed in front of her.
Hope burst into full bloom for him then, and he put his hands on her shoulders and gently pulled her arms away from her chest. She looked up at him warily.
“No, Thania. No,” he said as he looked down into her eyes. She still looked confused so he decided to be blunt. “I didn’t just want you for that one night. I want you for every single night .”
She smiled and took the final half step necessary in order to push their bodies together.
“Really?” she asked him.
“Yes. Every. Single. Night,” he said, and she reached up to wrap her arms around his neck.
He clutched her tightly to him and kissed her, falling into her just like he had before. He was so happy that he felt weightless, as if a gigantic boulder had been lifted from his shoulders. He pulled back slightly from the kiss but didn’t let her go.
“So, you want to be with me, too? Me and only me?” He figured they’d had enough misunderstandings between them, and some clarification might be a good idea.
She laughed softly and smiled at him again. “Yes, Vlad. I want to be with you, and only you,” she whispered, and he leaned down and kissed her once more, lifting her off her feet and turning in a slow circle as they kissed.
“Well, isn’t this… cozy .”
H e pulled away from the kiss and set Thania down as he turned toward Irina.
“You shouldn’t be here,” he said to Irina quietly as he linked his fingers with Thania beside him.
“No, you shouldn’t be here,” she replied loudly as she swayed slightly. “ None of you should be here,” she continued, and he felt Thania stiffen at his side.
He squeezed her fingers softly to reassure her.
“I knew it was you,” he said, and Thania gasped and flung his hand away.
Surprised, he looked warily at her. But she wasn’t angry with him. Thania walked up to Irina.
“ You’re the one that tried to sabotage my show?” she asked Irina in a deceptively casual voice.
“Thania, let me talk to her…” he started, but he trailed off when Thania lifted her hand in a ‘stop’ signal to him.
Okay, then .
“I want to know her answer,” she said pleasantly, without looking away from Irina.
“Of course, it was me, you stupid bitch,” Irina said, causing several people surrounding them to turn and stare.
“What have I done to be called such foul names?” Again, Thania was poised and quiet.
“You stole my boyfriend!” Irina yelled, and after that a crowd formed around them.
Some members of the press were taking pictures, and Vlad even saw one man openly videotaping the argument. But he didn’t dare try to intercede again; it was clear that Thania wanted to handle it herself.
“I did no such thing. You and Vlad have been broken up for more than six months. I didn’t even know him six months ago.”
“That’s a lie! We’re still together,” Irina insisted with less vehemence that time.
Thania looked back at him and raised her brow in question.
“No,” he said loudly. “Irina and I are not together. We broke up six months ago, and she refuses to let go.”
Irina looked as if she wanted to argue, but Thania started to speak.
“Listen up, Irina,” Thania said very softly. “If you ever try to interfere with or sabotage my business again, I will have you arrested. You are extremely lucky that my event went off without a hitch today because I would have sued you for every damned cent you have. And let me be clear: your time with Vlad
