man.
What’ s wrong with me? Why am I attracted to someone else?
She kept thinking about it. Bruce wasn’t perfect – very secretive, emotionally unbalanced, slightly arrogant with an enormous e go, unable to appreciate the simple things in life – but she could accept it. After all, it was to be expected; Jennifer knew she wasn’t dating an average Joe.
E verybody has flaws, after all!
But most of all, she reminded herself , what she liked about Bruce was that he was a very unique individual with a strong personality, an alpha male who made her safe, very dominant and confident, charismatic, and smart. Surprisingly, Jennifer realized that she was also attracted to him because of his complex character – dark and mysterious, sometimes hard to understand, tough yet sensitive. He was like an enigma she desperately wanted to solve.
There’s no doubt… between the two of them, Bruce wins. And the sex with him… Oh my God, he’s just amazing – such an incredible lover!
Jennifer was lost in her thoughts when her phone rang and made her jump. She looked at the number and didn’t recognize it. Jen, why are you checking the number? You don’t know anybody here!
“He llo?”
“Jen? Is it you? Are you okay?”
The voice was deep and familiar. “Bruce! Yes, I’m okay.”
His tone changed. “Where the hell have you been? I’ve been looking for you everywhere! Kenichi’s bodyguards are screening the entire city. We sent your description to the police; I called your grandmother to know if she had news from you, I even called Benny! Kenichi and I have been to nearly all the massage clubs looking for you in case you’ve been kidnapped; we’ve been to brothels asking girls if they’ve seen you – I didn’t know what else to do!”
Why did he assume such terrible things?
Bruce was understandably angry at Jennifer and his voice was trembling. Jennifer felt that he really cared for her, but at the same time, she had never imagined he could be so irrational.
“ Bruce, I don’t know what to say – I’m really sorry.”
“Thank God, you’re safe! I was so worried. What the hell had you in mind?”
“Bruce, I didn’ t disappear. You saw me leaving; I was mad at you. I really appreciate everything you’ve done to find me but… wasn’t it a bit too much?”
“Too much what? I’m not kidding when it comes to you, Jen. I h ave to be prepared for the worst. I always prepare for the worst. God, where are you?”
“I’m in a hotel in Khao San Road. It’s okay, baby, c alm down. I’m leaving right now – I’ll take a taxi and…”
“No, you stay where you are.” Bruce interrupted her. “I’m coming to pick you up with June.”
Thirty minutes later, Bruce was running up the stairs to Jennifer’s room. He knocked at her door and she opened almost immediately. Before she could say anything, he rushed at her and kissed her passionately. Jennifer was completely caught by surprise and tried to break away from him.
“I can barely breathe, baby…” Jennifer said, trying to catch her breath.
Bruce was kissing her, caressing her face and her hair frenetically. “I was so worried. Are you okay?”
Jennifer kissed him back. “Yes, baby I’m totally fine, so stop freaking out please.”
Her phone rang again - it was a text message. Jennifer’s heart skipped a beat. “ I hope I didn’t do anything wrong. I miss you. Enzo .”
“Who is it?” Bruce asked. Jennifer’s head was spinning, and she couldn’t say anything. “Who is it, Jen?”
She finally managed to stutter. “Err , it’s… it’s nothing, just someone who helped me find my way.”
“Let’s get out of here. June is waiting downstairs.”
They got into the car and went back to Bruce’s hotel room. Jennifer kept thinking about Enzo’s message and wondered if she should tell Bruce about him or not.
I don’t think it’s necessary to tell him. He’s been so worried already ; it’s going to break his heart, and
