I stood rooted in place even after Amber closed the door.
What did she mean by “it felt good when she was kissed by ” her?”
Who was this her?
I don’t Know why but the idea of someone else being intimate with Amber really pissed me off.
Annoyed, I headed to my house, punched the codes and slammed the door behind me.
I was certainly not tired nor sleepy anymore.
I groaned as I headed to the mini bar and poured a generous amount of scotch into a glass.
Amber had said it felt good.
Did it feel better than when I kissed her?
How the fuck could she even compare a kiss from a woman and a man?
Why did I even give a shit in the first place?
I threw back the entire glass and poured another one.
I couldn’t help but be irritated.
I could understand if the person was a guy and she said she felt better than with me.
I would accept the fact that he probably was better at kissing.
But how was a woman’s kiss better than mine?
The more I thought about it, the more the alcohol affected my brain.
I had to fight my demons to not barge into her house and demand an explanation.
But what explanation? What right did I have to demand one?
I don’t Know how I ended up sleeping. When I woke up the following day, my stomach was growling from hunger and head pounding.
I groaned and rolled over and looked at the clock on the wall.
It was past eleven in the morning and the sun was shining brightly.
I stood up, took a shower and changed into fresh clothes.
Heading to the kitchen, I retrieved some painkillers and popped one into my mouth and swallowed it with a glass of water.
I made coffee and some crumbled eggs.
Being the weekend, I didn’t have anything to do around so I decided to water the flowers . Well, it was just a strategy to see Amber.
Unfortunately, I didn’t catch a glimpse of her.
Choosing to be civil and not go knocking on her door with nothing to say, I decided to text her.
Unlocking the phone, I was however greeted by Viona’s message.
” Good morning Alvin.” The message read.
I smiled. She was too formal.
“Good morning, beautiful. Seeing your message makes it even better.” I replied with a winking emoji
She replied with a blushing face and said, ” You are so sweet.”
We had a chat about the weather and many other things until she asked me out for coffee.
I couldn’t resist the chance to see her again.
” Sure. Where shall we meet?” I replied
She sent me the address and told me she’ll wait in the evening.
Smiling to myself, I decided to do some laundry and clean the house awaiting evening to come and meet with Viona.
As the machine started spinning the clothes, I went ahead on mopping and wiping.
By three in the afternoon, my house was spot free, clothes dried and ironed.
One thing about me, I’ll never stay in a dirty environment .
Few minutes to five, I hopped inside the shower to take a quick bath.
After, I shaved, trimmed my beard and applied a small amount of perfume.
Wearing a black leather jacket, white shirt and black jeans, I grabbed my phone, wallet and keys before leaving the house.
I drove my sports car to the agreed location.
Viona was sitting by the window waiting when I got to the cafe.
Her long hair was down and her skin radiated with health.
She had a very beautiful smile and the most adorable eyes.
” Hey?” I greeted, taking a seat opposite her.
” Did I keep you waiting for long?” I asked and she shook her head.
” Not really, I Just got here.” Viona replied.
A waitress came and we placed our orders.
” I was surprised when you texted . It’s a pleasant surprise.” I said as we waited for our orders.
” Yeah, I couldn’t find a reason not to text you. I promised to get to know you better.” Viona replied.
” This is getting to know me better?” I asked and Viona chuckled.
” What do you think?” She asked back and I shrugged my shoulders.
” I don’t know.”
I mean, I never did stuff like getting to know others better
Alex and I didn’t need that formality.
Our coffees and cakes arrived.
We both sipped our coffees and enjoyed our cakes.
” Why did you transfer to our college?” I asked, trying to find a topic to discuss.
Viona smiled.
” I thought I’d be the one asking questions?”
” Well, I am also interested in getting to know you better. Very interesting.” I replied with a wink.
Viona looked away, blushing.
” Well, the transfer is something personal.” She finally answered after a few seconds.
” That’s unfair, you’ll tell me your transfer is personal.” I protested, making her laugh.
” Let’s just say my father thought being far away from him will help me learn how to interact with different people.”
” So he transferred you to another school? A little harsh isn’t it?” I asked.
” Not really, I like the freedom here.” She replied.
” What about you? I heard that this isn’t your hometown either.” Viona asked and j laughed.
” I like freedom. With no one to watch you or nag you.” I replied.
I wasn’t about to tell her that I moved in order to not remember the bitterness of my past.
I mean how would it feel seeing someone you Once shared a bed with get intimate with your father?
As much as I moved on, I found the whole experience traumatizing.
” Why do I feel like you are keeping something from me?” Viona suddenly asked and I raised a brow.
” Me? Hiding something from you? Never.” I replied and she laughed.
” That’s exactly what someone who’s hiding something would say.”
” And you can tell from my reply?” I asked and she nodded.
” Your reply was so casual, too casual.”
I stared at her, trying to read her.
” Alright. There’s more than that but I’m not ready to talk about it now.” I conceded.
” I can wait.” She replied and we resumed eating.
After we were done, I offered to pay the bills and although Viona was adamant at first, she finally agreed.
” You know, I should be the one who pays the bills Since I invited you.” Viona said as we left the cafe.
” Well, it’s a tradition. A man should always pay when he goes out with a lady. At Least, that’s what my father taught me.” I replied.
” Alright. I won’t argue with you because I Know I’ll never win.” Viona said, making me smile.
” Why don’t you accompany me for a movie? Treat it as you making it up to me.” I proposed.
” And you pay for the tickets?” She asked with raised brows.
” Yes, while you buy snacks.” I replied and she grinned.
” Sure, Why not.”
