Love Worth Fighting For

“Christ!!” Elena screamed when she realized who the owner of the hand that was wrapped around her stomach was.

“Hmmm...”

Elena panicked and immediately tried to push Christian’s hand from above her stomach, but her efforts were fruitless. Christian’s arms are still entrenched in Elena’s stomach.

“I’m still sleepy, Elena. Let’s sleep for a bit,” Christian said hoarsely as he wrapped his arms around Elena’s body.

Elena chokes when she feels Christian’s strong embrace on her body. “Christ... it’s late,” Elena stammered. “I am hungry.”

Christian lifts his face from the pillow, steady Elena without blinking. “What time is it now?”

Elena immediately looked at the clock that was on the nightstand, Elena immediately gave thanks in her heart. “It’s four in the afternoon,” Elena answered quickly. “We’ve slept more than seven hours.”

Christian immediately released his arms from Elena’s body and immediately got off his big bed which was a little wrinkled after being used to sleeping with Elena.

.....

“Send food for me and Elena to our room.” Christian talks to Jorge who is on the first floor over the phone in his room seriously.

“Ah yes, also bring the bag that Kainer left. It belongs to Elena,” Christian said again, rolling one eye at Elena who was still sitting on the edge of the bed.

Elena furrows her brow at Christian’s words, looking confused. But she didn’t dare to ask, Elena was still overcome with regret for having gone up and sleeping in the same bed as Christian. Elena regretted the stupid act she had done a few hours ago.

“You better take a shower first, food is being prepared for us,” Christian says softly as he removes the shirt that covers his body.

Elena immediately turned her face the other way. “I’m going to take a shower at home.”

Christian smiles. “Bath at home? Who let you go home anyway?”

“Eh?”

Christian moves up the bed, approaching Elena who is at the end of the bed. “You will spend the night with me here.”

Elena immediately shook her head quickly, her hands raised in the air. “No, I can’t. I can’t stay overnight again, my mom and dad for sure...”

“If you don’t want to stay at my house then we’re going to Paris tonight.”

“Paris?”

“Yes, Paris.”

Elena swallowed her saliva. “Why are we going to Paris?”

The innocent question that came out of Elena’s lips immediately made Christian’s mischievous intentions disappear, Christian slowly moved away from Elena and sat on his bed in a cross-legged position without breaking eye contact with Elena.

“What is it?” Elena asked, confused, seeing the drastic change in Christian’s demeanor.

“Suri’s birthday is this weekend and I already have plans for this weekend,” Christian replies quietly.

“Suri, your sister?”

Christian nods slowly.

“How important are your weekend plans?”

“It’s very important and I’ve been planning it since a month ago.”

Elena moved, changing her sitting position so that she could speak comfortably. “Is it much more important than your sister’s birthday?”

“It could be.”

Elena tilted her head. “Could it be? What does that mean? Speak clearly, Christ. I don’t understand.”

Instead of answering Elena’s question, Christian slowly gets out of bed. As soon as his feet hit the floor that had been covered with Turkey’s finest carpet, Christian held out his hand to Elena. “I’ll show you, come here.”

Elena doesn’t accept Christian’s hand right away, she still looks doubtful. Christian, who is fully clothed, looks dangerous, especially now when he is shirtless. All bad thoughts immediately passed through Elena’s mind.

“What do you want?”

“Didn’t you ask me earlier which is more important between the plans I’ve been planning for a long time or Suri’s birthday party, huh?”

“Then what does that have to do with me? Why should I...”

“Elena,” Christian sighs exasperatedly. “You’re too stubborn.” Christian finally pulls Elena closer to him by force.

Being pulled by Christian forcibly made Elena unable to fight back, Elena resignedly followed Christian’s steps which led her to the large glass in the room. The two of them stopped when they reached the mirror, Christian who was standing behind Elena immediately put on his best smile looking at the reflection of Elena’s face in the mirror.

“Christ...”

“After learning about you and the firefighters going to Paris I became very angry, I don’t want you to go to the city of your dreams with someone like him. That’s why I planned a vacation for the both of us in Paris, I want to make a beautiful memory about Paris with you,” Christian says quietly, seriously. “And I don’t know if Suri’s birthday party will be on the same day as our departure for Paris.”

Elena opened her mouth wide, she couldn’t believe the words Christian just said.

“And that’s why I changed my plans.”

“Change plans?”

Christian smiles, he slowly turns Elena over and pushes her against the glass. “Yeah, I changed my plans...I want to take you to Paris tonight so that on the weekend I can go back to Switzerland by taking you to meet Suri and my parents.”

“No... I can’t, Christ.”

One of Christian’s eyebrows rises. “Can’t, can’t what?”

“I can’t meet your parents, I’m not ready. Both of your parents are famous people and i.. I can’t meet them ...”

“Shhh Elena, hear me.” Christian immediately cut off Elena’s words quickly. “Didn’t I tell you everything about my family including my parents? Then why should you be afraid? There is no reason why you are afraid to meet them.”

“Yes but ..”

“You are my lover, Elena. There is no reason for you to refuse to meet my father and mother,” Christian says back half forcefully.

Elena forgot how close she was to Christian right now, Christian’s words asking her to meet Jackson Clarke and Marianne Clarke made her unable to think properly at this time.

“But I...”

Elena’s words were stopped by Christian’s kiss that was so sudden, Christian who was very happy to be spending a lot of time with Elena really restrained himself from devouring the beautiful girl right now.

“Elena,” Christian moans between kisses. “I really am crazy about you, I really can’t stay away from you.”

Using all her strength, Elena tries to push Christian’s chest away from her. The kiss that Christian gave was so suffocating, she couldn’t breathe properly.

“There’s nothing for you to worry about, my mother is a very good woman. She won’t get you in trouble, and neither will my father. There’s no reason for them to reject the woman of my choice,” Christian says honestly.

“The woman of your choice?” Elena stammers, repeats Christian’s words.

Christian chuckles. “Yes, you are, silly girl.”
