December Secrets

Chapter 1

私はケーキミックスをケーキの型に注ぎ、同じように他の二つにも流し込みました。型のサイズは進むにつれて小さくなっていきました。暑い夏の日、8月下旬でした。額の汗を袖で拭いながら、私たちの料理人ハンナを見上げました。「うまくできるといいな」

彼女は私に微笑みかけました。このケーキはハンナのレシピでした。正直なところ、ほとんどの作業は彼女がやってくれたのです。でも私もかなり参加しました。私自身も料理は得意な方でしたが、今日はリスクを冒したくありませんでした。今日はすべてが完璧でなければならなかったのです。ただただ完璧に。

そして、そうなるだろうと感じていました。

フェリックスは明日出発します。丸4年間も。確かに、彼は訪ねてくるでしょうが、もう同じではなくなります。私も一緒に行けたらと思いました。若い頃、私たちはそう計画していました。いつかそうなることを私たちはずっと知っていました。フェリックスと私は同じ年に生まれていればよかったのにと毎日願っていました。そうすれば一緒に大学に行けて、どちらかが置いていかれることもなかったのに。でも彼は年上でなければならなかったのです。私にはまだ高校生活が2年残っていて、フェリックスはプリンストン大学に合格していました。

10歳と12歳の頃、私たちはフェリックスが2年間ギャップイヤーを取るか、私が高校を早く卒業するか、あるいは彼が行く街に引っ越して、そこで卒業するかについて話し合っていました。当時はそれが理にかなっていたのですが、大人になるにつれて、それはますます不可能に思えてきました。どんなに計画を立てても、人生は常に邪魔をしてくるものです。

でも大丈夫ですよね?

とにかく、心配している時間はあまりありませんでした。今夜はフェリックスの送別パーティーです。私が彼のためにすべて計画しました。ケーキも彼のためのものです。ブラックフォレスト、彼のお気に入りです。彼の友達が来て、お酒の手配も手伝ってくれました。ハンナもパーティー料理を作っています。楽しくなるはずです。

彼が出発した後、明日から心配することにします。彼がそこにいる4年間、私がすることといえば、それだけです。心配して。待つこと。

フェリックスと私の関係を説明するのは難しいです。私たちは友達だと思います。でもその言葉は好きではありません。私はフェリックスをずっと前から知っています。私が生まれた時、彼は病院にいました。彼のお母さん、つまり私の母の親友と一緒に。彼はたった2歳で覚えていないはずですが、彼はそこにいて、それが大切なのです。それ以来、私たちは離れたことがありません。小学校では友達、中学校では守護者、そして高校ではそれ以外のすべてでした。「すべて」という言葉がぴったりです。彼は私の…すべてでした。

友達のティリーは彼が私のボーイフレンドだと言いました。でも私はその言葉が嫌いで、彼も一度もそう言ったことはありませんでした。私は彼のプロムに一緒に行き、彼は他の人とデートしたことがなく、私にもさせませんでした。私もそうしたくなかったのですが。彼は私にキスもしたことがありませんでした。そこが問題でした。もし彼が私にキスさえしてくれたら、私たちがどういう関係なのか分かるのに。何度もそのチャンスが来そうだったのに。彼の温水浴槽にいた時や、私が泣いた後に屋上にいた時のように。でも、それは起こりませんでした。

「プリンストンは素晴らしい学校よ」とハンナは何気なく言いました。「フェリックスはたくさん新しい友達を作って、賢い女の子たちにも会うでしょうね」

私は喉の奥に塊を飲み込みました。それは私のもう一つの恐れでした。女の子たち。もし彼がそこで恋に落ちたらどうしよう?もし彼女が私を嫌って、二度と私と話さないように彼に言ったらどうしよう?

私の表情に気づいて、ハンナはくすりと笑いました。彼女は軽く私の頭をなでました。「心配しなくていいわよ、フローラさん」と彼女はからかうように言いました。「あの子はあなたに夢中よ」

私は目を回しました。「彼はただの友達よ、ハンナ」

彼女は微笑みました。「もちろんよ」

ケーキが焼かれている間、私はフロスティング用のクリームを泡立てました。これは私の得意なことだったので、自分でやりながら、ハンナは残りの食べ物を作っていました。

約2時間ほどで、ケーキの準備が整いました。一番上の層に「もう寂しいよ」と短く簡潔に書きました。彼が気に入ってくれるといいな。安っぽいと思われませんように。ケーキを冷蔵庫に入れ、自分の部屋に走って行き、シャワーを浴びてから、かわいいピンクの夏のドレスを着ました。フェリックスは私のピンク色が好きでした。それが私をかわいい花のように見せると言っていました。

着替えた後、階下に駆け下りました。パーティーは外の庭で行われる予定でした。ハンナはすでに飾り付けを始めていて、私は急いで彼女を手伝い、妖精のような電飾と「頑張れフェリックス!」というバナー、そしてより小さな「プリンストンが待っている」という文字を掲げました。午後8時までに、フェリックスの友達が集まり始めました。彼はパーティーのことを全く知りませんでした。私は彼を家に呼び、みんなで彼をサプライズすることになっていました。全員が揃ったところで、私は庭の明かりを消して何も見えないようにし、フェリックスに電話しました。

「ねぇ!遊びに来ない?」と私は陽気に尋ねました。うきうきした声に聞こえました。自分の気持ちを悟られたくありませんでした。

「5分で行くよ」と彼は答え、電話を切りました。彼がすでに出かける準備をしているのは分かっていました。彼は2軒隣に住んでいました。約束の5分以上はかからないでしょう。

「急いで!」と私は宣言しました。「彼がもう来るわ」

みんな目立たないように落ち着きました。サプライズパーティーとその作戦は少し子供っぽかったですが、彼の友達は私に合わせて協力してくれました。フェリックスのおかげで、みんな私に優しくしてくれました。彼が去った後、多くのことが変わるでしょう。

彼は庭の騒ぎに気づかずに、私の玄関まで来ていました。彼がベルを鳴らす前に、私はドアを開けました。「やあ!」と私はさりげなく言いました。

彼は私を上から下まで見て、目を細めました。「どうして着飾ってるの?」

私は肩をすくめました。「出かけてたの」

彼は首を傾げて、私をじっと見つめました。「誰と?」

「あなたは知らない人たちよ」と私は言いました。「庭で過ごさない?」

彼は肩をすくめました。「フローラの望み通りにするよ」私はにっこり笑い、彼の手を取って庭へ向かいました。まだ彼を引っ張りながら、何気なく電灯のスイッチを押しました。すべてが明るくなり、突然みんなが見えるようになりました。そして音楽が始まりました。完璧でした。

「サプライズ」とフェリックスに向かって囁きながら微笑みました。

彼は私をきつく抱きしめ、地面から持ち上げました。私はくすくす笑いながら、足を彼の周りに巻き付け、彼の抱擁に溶け込みました。一日の慌ただしさの中で、私は本当に彼がどれほど恋しくなるかを忘れていました。彼の腕が私を包む感覚、彼が私に話しかける時の声の特有の柔らかさ、私を困らせることを知っていて何かをする前の彼の顔の悪戯っぽい表情。

「ありがとう」と彼はささやき、私を下ろして再び足で立たせました。彼は私の髪をくしゃくしゃにして、私を見下ろしながら笑いました。「フローラ、君はとても可愛いね」

"Will you continue to disobey me?" he asks, his gaze cool and hard.
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
"You're soaking for me, baby," he is pleased. He moves his fingers in and out, making me moan in pleasure.
"Hmm," But suddenly, they are gone. I cry as he leaves my body aching for him. He switches our position within a second, so I'm under him. My breath is shallow, and my senses are incoherent as I anticipate his hardness in me. The feeling is fantastic.
"Please," I beg. I want him. I need it so badly.

All of a sudden there was a growl that ripped through the room and the band stopped playing and I heard something smash. Like it was a wooden chair or something.
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I was frozen in the spot and this man was just staring at us with pure hatred in his eyes. But then I realized that the hatred was for Mason. Not me.
"Mine." He demanded.
