I was right. I knew him well after all.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiZJgmozoF
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa6U7UKCqM
Cleo didn’t want to leave me alone waiting for a message so she came back with me at my house. I had no intention to sleep. Not that I could if I tried. I showered and sat on the couch staring at the TV; Cleo half asleep beside me. It was killing me; knowing that right now Alex, my Alex was kissing, touching and having sex with another woman.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGsm0UajnP
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7Nniw4dYc
It was around 7 in the morning when my phone begun vibrating on the coffee table. I shot up and grabbed the phone; Cleo tensed.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEWc9SIwaK
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG02SpYyqy
“I’m leaving the mansion. I told him. At first he just stared at me and then seemed to be furious,” the brunette texted me; the brunette that spend the night having sex with my boyfriend. With my blessings.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf4cvprJ4P
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukQB0185Tg
I was crazy. I must be. There was no explanation for what I’ve done; sending her to have sex with my boyfriend just to confront him through her. At least she was cooperative.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSzoI8XUH8
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLLNeuKEDP
“Thanks again. I’m guessing he didn’t say anything?” I texted back. It only took a few seconds before the mobile vibrated in my hands again; Cleo put her arm around my shoulders.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4oiymPjOe
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZl64LdvPD
“He asked me to describe you. When I did, he got out of the bed and before leaving the room he told me that the butler would arrange for me to get home.”424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0mvdwywfE
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm67sGPSgD
Typical Alex. When something was wrong, he didn’t even bother with anything else besides his own problem. Not even escorting the poor girl to the car.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnmdNoMZKh
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCtJ5i9JtY
“Okay. Thanks again. You have my number if you ever need anything,” I texted back.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w7h3rYX0T
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nVMNbXes8
“My pleasure. I'm sorry about him,” I’ve read and left the phone on the table and leaned back on the couch.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaQ7fFINKw
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJhP40DyDm
Cleo put both arms around me and held me to her. I felt like my world fell apart. Again. I was such a fool.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2c6idH9gE
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXryM7Xz1g
“I'm an idiot,” I mumbled against my friend’s chest.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi24hlnh2Iw
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbYDviuYFf
“No, you’re not. You’re just in love.”424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3Qs3ssTWt
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1MUDyGY8v
I was so tired that I must have fallen asleep on the couch for I woke up lying there, with a pillow and a sheet covering me. Cleo must have given them to me.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdR6yYg9Oz
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVGEqpQWR4
As all the events from last night came back into my mind, my heart fell and my chest pain returned. I muffled a cry and covered my eyes with my arm.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5ynS38yyG
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7REKG5gMc
I turned towards the coffee table where my mobile was laying and saw a piece of paper underneath it. “I promised mom to help her with some stuff. Call me when you wake up.” I dialed her number and put the phone against my ear.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwq0JDoShz
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJuUFHARxm
She had just finished what she was doing and told me to meet her at her place. I carried myself to the bathroom and closet to get dressed. I didn’t know how I had the courage to even put make up on.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAbW1GV4Fp
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoifnOzdIfG
Fifteen minutes later, I was entering her kitchen and couldn’t wait to find myself into her room so I can fall apart. As I walked up the stairs and into my friend’s room, the door at the end of the hall opened; Damien appearing behind it, only in his shorts.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwoOtX4sdJ
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU5maPyYrn
“Hey,” I said but the sound didn’t leave my throat so I waved.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpHBKGAqhA
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjltNpAsK4l
“Come here,” he motioned to his bedroom with his hand.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7aIgQQRrq
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYboLiUQcG
“Cleo is waiting,” I managed to say out loud.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XXkgyy6w3
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH640aGzWp
“She’s not home yet,” he replied and I began walking towards him. He walked to his bed and gazed at me “You can sit you know,” he smiled; little curves shaped on his cheeks. I smiled a small smile and sat beside him.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYBtDoawFk
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddqYiJr5wX
“Sorry. I'm a bit off today,” I mumbled.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBGL1HScuU
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVatiSR9lPR
“Did he..?” he trailed; his gray eyes piercing me.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE1YGBHgaU
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWgU4eRN8H
“Yup. He cheated again,” I smiled bitterly “This time with my blessings though,” I kept a tight smile.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9xau76cMw
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN4hbDDShC
“What do you mean?” he frowned. I told him last night’s events in a summary while he looked wide eyed.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQimCG5HEKr
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevsZ9Vfhp9
“Damn,” he whispered.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06AfjESsRP
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhslLNbzYg
“Yeah,” I agreed and my phone vibrated in my hands, startling me for a second. I froze as I looked at the screen. Alex. I pressed the silent button and left the phone on the bedside table.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wa2xqcFlM
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3dtiX8Pyc
“Him?” Damien asked and I nodded. “Want me to answer?” he offered.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6RYakDRnf
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZcXqAA7cL
“No. Don’t want to waste any more time,” I said; my voice breaking in the middle of the sentence. Damien shifted on the bed so he was facing me while I kept my eyes forward as I was starting to get nervous.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFDmVVm6pt
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQRyj2oYq4
He took my hand in his and squished it. I just kept my eyes forward, afraid to turn around and face him.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEgiJOI0H8
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpzrf8CyGs
“Look at me,” he pleaded whispering. I exhaled deeply and lowered my head. I didn’t want to look at him. Every feeling I had for him since I could remember myself was coming back ten times stronger when he was sweet and caring with me.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYHyh4IfGN
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17ZK0nNm2U
My phone vibrated from the bedside table again, this time Cleo was the one calling me. I sighed and answered the phone.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEXCrqIezA
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmzSO2YLMi
“Hey. I’m at your place,” I told her and she just told me she was parking her car before hanging up.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYJS9YxCad
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQugQ3A2Wf
“I’m going...” I trailed and got up; my hand still in his.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxkmH8PEhn
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUglehyfHb
“Okay,” he mumbled and stroked the back of my palm with his thumb before letting his hand slip away.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHyX3tk4hB
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx2vFbuymu
Alex called three times that day. I never answered. I didn’t have the courage or the strength to deal with him. I couldn’t bear to hear his voice. It would hurt too much.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbwqdbkUaB
I curled into a tiny ball in my bed and cried myself to sleep.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk8D3G1Gea
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W76pCl9CW
It hurt that I’ve let myself trust him again; I’ve allowed myself to dream and everything was shuttered. It hurt so much.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YpIew7a0w
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jDph3Lg9U
[+++]424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAPpXjJV6Q
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT9A5MIk7I
I opened my eyes disoriented; the sound of knocking on the door reached my ears. That must have been the sound that woke me up. I sat up on the bed and slowly got out of bed.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR05sJivH8
As I opened the door, still half asleep, I froze. Alex was standing in the doorway wearing just a jean and a t-shirt. I wasn’t used to see him wearing casual clothes. I began hyperventilating and tried to close the door to his face. I really couldn’t stand watching those eyes. It hurt.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1DFNRDMAO
He put his hand against the door and kept it open. I didn’t have much strength for I just woke up, and he overpowered me.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcfdWqlxXS
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8Pd4IU01s
“Please” he mumbled. I lowered my head, not facing him, and turned around. I heard him entering the renovated garage and closing the door behind him.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa2Nosi9jV
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZkpqSMRdT
“If you’re going to say that it just happened. Save it,” I mumbled as I walked towards the kitchen counter to make coffee.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDosZIIYhUw
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbvoYexOs0
“Obviously it didn’t,” I heard him say. So if he admitted it, why was he here? “How did you know her?” he asked, obviously about the brunette that spent the night with him.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAPC3nwf9c
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKURc4pP0p
That’s what he cared about? How I knew the girl that he fucked last night? That’s why he was here? I felt angry. I bit my lip to restrain myself as I put water and coffee in my glass.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHn1YEjfwN
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07U9kG4KlA
“Small world love. Small fucking world,” I smiled bitterly.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkVpFfgyS1
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKOAwoidQA
“Will you look at me?” he asked. I felt so angry at him when he spoke those words.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I74pcDZJ2
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNeGyH7cSt
“What I ever do to you?” I snapped, finally turning around and saw his face for the first time. He looked tired. But I didn’t care. He didn’t reply. What did he have to say after all?424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXks8IjkGW
“Oh yeah, right!” I mocked “All I ever did was love you. How could I do that to you! I’m such a horrible person!” I scoffed. He sighed in response and rubbed his forehead with his fingers.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbFUtx5x4b
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwH4iKquR1
“Erica, please don’t...” he trailed.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGYe25VXv1
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3jMWkXqzB
“Don’t what?” I spit “Does my words hurt you?” I asked bitterly again. It was a rhetorical question. He would never respond to a question about how he felt. He was never talking about his feelings. Never. Maybe that’s why he was able to hurt me so much. He had no feelings.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF47rQybeAB
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhodchW5cOC
“Yes,” he breathed; leaving me astonished. My face fell. I put both hands against my eyes; my knees getting weak.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ajBAgq3Ja
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzGgIAiMpE
I managed to walk towards the bed and sat on the edge; leaning forward and resting my elbows on my knees as I held my head on my palms.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk21dqBxKj
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIA543f2z0
“You have no idea how I feel,” I breathed; my eyes wet as I tried to hold back the tears. The hole in my chest aching and burning from the pain.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBwDeEceLa
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aJwFNiwAv
I felt the bed shifting and I noticed that he sat next to me when he tried to pull him towards him.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILCZvroMAa
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxyztGB2iw
“No,” I flinched “No,” I said and pulled away; tears began oozing from my eyes. He pulled me against his chest and kept me there as I was crying. I didn’t care anymore. I didn’t care if he thought I was being childish or vulnerable. I was in pieces.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMIhwEQT91
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSincHtu7z6
“I'm sorry,” he breathed.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s1jbVRPlU
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoc355Jxzh
“Stop apologizing. Please,” I pleaded. It only makes it harder. I calmed down as his grip tightened around me. I could smell his beautiful scent as I was buried to his chest.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDGomKs70z
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZYChs27hm
My mind wasn’t working right anymore; I was lost in his arms and couldn’t think clear so when he pulled my face towards his and place his lips on mine I didn’t flinched away like before. I only parted my lips as a deep sigh escaped my lips as he kissed my bottom lip. He took advantage and parted my lips more; his tongue entering my mouth.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WYBPhAmub
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTR00VDLVY
I knew that if I stopped him now, the way I wanted him right now would haunt me and never let me be. He would always be with me. So I let him kiss me. I didn’t protest even when his hand traveled down my spine to my lower back.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBFiRYLwVW
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPLRVLb7T9
He lightly pushed me back and climbed on top of me while I pulled him with me. I put my hands around his neck and kissed him back as he put his hand under my shirt. He pulled back and took off his t-shirt and mine, tossing them to the floor.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99PK2AVkD7
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD79qX3WpM
He stopped for a moment but I didn’t want him to speak. If he spoke he would have brought me back to reality and I would probably tell him to leave. I pulled him to my lips once again, not allowing him to say anything as I closed his bottom lip between mine.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIxo6jiCaf
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGta13WwTc
He moved his lips down to my neck as his hands traced my body; a soft moan escaping my lips. He pulled away for a moment only to remove his pants and my shorts before crushing his lips onto mine once again. I was having an out of body experience. I wasn’t thinking anything. I was only feeling.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUdW5MarDz
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w5mGi82Py
I moved one hand onto his back and another onto his waist, pulling him to me as his lips licked and kissed my neck. I pushed him back a little bit only to reach out at the bedside table and open the drawer and take a condom as he was now kissing my arm and cleavage. As I returned to him, he removed my bra and cupped my breasts; one with his hand and the other with his mouth.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSGBdYVFY6
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiavfSqju2h
He slightly pulled back and removed my underwear and his boxers before putting on the condom. I was gazing at him through the state of trance I was in, trying not to think that just 12 hours ago he was touching another woman like he was touching me.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgV3XeRCRC
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx7hSCENl6
He came back on top of me, placing his hands on either side of me against the mattress and looked at me for a moment. Maybe he was looking for regret in my eyes; maybe he thought I was going to stop him. And maybe I should have.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa461wRbnGF
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0Q3S1Ln5d
I put my hands on his necks and pulled him into a kiss and as he lowered himself onto me I felt him press against me and enter me; a deep moan escaping my throat.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO2a2DK0ud
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh6sEwB7JJ
Maybe it was the fact that he wanted me to forgive him again or the fact that indirectly I told him that I loved him; his moves were gentle and slow. He pulled back for a moment and as he kept thrusting into me slowly, he looked at me. I looked back, wanting to keep his image in my mind, but as he opened his mouth and I thought he was going to say something I broke the eye contact.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMOeT39lkC
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2HDCMD1Mq
“Faster,” I mumbled and his moves quickened; making me climax as he shivered over me; my legs wrapped around his waist. I suddenly felt blank. And then a strong wave of emotions struck me; the ache alive in my chest once again. I felt like crying. But I wouldn't. I wouldn't cry in front of him again.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRo7gZokJC
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYIAYZZP6n
He collapsed on top of me and I held him there, stroking his back and kissing his shoulder, trying to take in my last minutes with him. His weight on top of me, his smell and his hot breathe hitting my skin.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJSC5G4rNp
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f4weomA1s
“I'm sorry,” he whispered to my ear and that brought me back to reality. I pushed him back.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcNt3FPAhh
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiTVTMyuHQ
“It doesn’t matter,” I replied and sat up. Maybe it was harsh but I didn’t care. He certainly didn’t care when he was having sex with someone else.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLYZmFHsGd
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NMhnOPLcD
“I can’t do this anymore,” I whispered and he sat up on the bed; watching me. “You’re hurting me too much and I can’t do this anymore,” I explained. With the corner of my eye I saw him lowering his head. I stood up and wore my underwear and top.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpYWm0Vfna
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckPP6fhM3X
“Maybe someday you’ll find someone that can love you enough to make you love her back,” I whispered. I watched as his face tightened and he got up, starting to wear his clothes. I thought the conversation was over but as he wore his boxers, he then walked up to me.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dJQmtPzCS
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMod5nYRJp9
“You did,” he whispered; putting his palm against my cheek. Was he saying that he loved me back? No I wouldn’t let his words get to me.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dYeunaGZI
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdxmAHdh4F
“No. I just loved you enough to let you break my heart. I'm never gonna be enough,” I whispered back; I could see the hurt in his eyes. I was wondering if I was looking like that right now. “I'm sorry Alex but if I keep this up, it would probably kill me.”424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu4Uv0VIFM
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7lsWPtTQI
He pulled back slowly, not saying another word. He put back on his jeans and t-shirt and begun walking towards the door. He paused there for a second but he didn’t do anything. He didn’t turn around to look at me or said anything.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe9Gueoyxl
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAD95G2A1t
He opened the door and left.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl6eptyFp3
