Defeat, I thought.
Until Kylee took one left turn, drifted into a dark tunnel then drove into oncoming traffic.
I was laced with horror as she whisked around the other cars as if we were riding a golden scaled Drago and not old beaten up car.
“Here” she said parking at the curb.
“Your phone” she said stretching out her hand, I handed it to her and she dropped it inside the car and we ran very far.
“We need to stop now, you must be tired”
I looked around, I didn’t wasn’t to admit that I could not take any further steps. She eyed me.
“You’re wearing a crop top, do you feel cold?”
I wanted do tell her not but I told the truth instead.
“Hotel” she said pointing forward to a building.
It was a hotel alright, but we had to go through the strip club that was at the bottom floor.
“Hey sweeties” a man called as we stood at the door, he was one of the many that called as we made our way through the place.
“Fuck me” Kylee said as we reached the stairs.
A man stood some steps away from us, his hair was green from the lights, I was guessing he was blonde but then the lights turned red and I had different colour in mind and it turned blue, I just gave up trying to guess his hair colour when the lights in the place flashed madly.
“Kylee Russell” the man said with a grin that told me they knew themselves, intimately.
He eyes left her for a moment and looked at me, only for them to return back to her again.
“Don’t tell me you’re gay now”
“I am” Kylee claimed, with a very cold tone.
She took my arm and pulled me past the man that was watching the both of us with amusement.
“Uhhmm Kylee” I said to the angry young woman that didn’t care to look back.
“Yes?”
“He’s following us”
Kylee’s body went rigid, her fingers on my arm gripped tight but when she turned around and saw it was just the man she calmed down.
“You thought it was Christian” I observed out loud, she had been so scared.
“Yes, but this idiot… What does he want”
“I was wondering if I can get a threesome?” In the hotel hallway, I could see him clearly.
He was handsome, genuinely handsome.
His hair was like the colour of dried wheat. His lips were stretched into an impressive grin and his teeth were pearly white, his eyes were blue, like a frozen sea.
“We’re not interested” Kylee said waving him off.
“For a stripper, you’re really picky” the man said and his eyes scanned her, observing her clothes for the first time.
A stripper?
When did Kylee, business woman turn to stripper.
I looked at her and the story forged in my head.
She’s very busy woman, she has dedicated her life to her work and the help it brings to the world. She doesn’t want commitment, so now boyfriends or even lovers. She poses as a stripper at night when she has spare time and she fucks whoever is willing to get the steam off her.
“You’re not stripper, are you?”
No, she’s not. Her clothes are like those of extremely wealthy woman. The man didn’t look so bad himself.
His eyes turned to me, wondering what my position meant.
“Are you one of her victims, did she tell you she was a stripper too?”
I laughed.
“We don’t have time for this Josef, so please back off”
Kylee opened the door and practically shoved me inside, she tried to slam it in Josef’s face but instead he put his elbow out and the door bounced backwards.
“I’m sorry but it your name even Kylee?”
“Yes, my name is Kylee”
“You’re not a stripper?”
“No”
Josef went quiet.
“It’s been months” he mused.
“Yes, it’s weird that you still remember me”
“I could say the same thing about you”
“I hardly forget people’s faces, I never forget anyone I meet”
“Especially when you were begging that certain someone to stop because you couldn’t take any more. Especially when that someone had fucked you into daylight ”
Holy fuck.
Kylee blushed, the memories reappeared in her head and she wanted it, it’s been long since she was with someone.
“How the hell did you wind up on this island?” Kylee asked, leaning against the door frame, very close to him.
“I came here on business and I just decided to visit this club”
“I see you have a things for strippers”
“Just a certain stripper ” he said closing the gap between the both of them.
I watched them, without breathing so they wouldn’t remember I was here. I had never seen Kylee this feminine, this beautifully sensual.
“I want you” he whispered. “I’ve never met anyone like you, Kylee ”
Suddenly, Kylee jumped backwards and the turned to me.
“I’m sorry ” she said as if she was apologizing to the boss wife. Just then, the engagement ring weight on my finger. I was soon to be boss wife.
“Uhmmm” I said shifting from one feet to the other, I felt very uncomfortable that she was paying me some respect higher than normal, cordial respect.
“Josef, please leave” she said to him. “I have business to attend to”
“You can go” I told her placing a hand on her shoulder.
“Are you sure?” She asked me warily. As if she needed my permission.
“Why not Kylee. Please, I’ll be fine on my own”
She looked at Josef, he was grinning at me, sending me a silent thanks.
“Are you sure?” She asked again, I knew if I was convincing, she would have a great time.
“Yes, I’m sure”
She hugged me and she left with Josef.
I locked the door and for once, o looked around the room.
It was small, but beautiful.
I went to the big bed, the only bed and I slept.
When I opened my eyes, it was in the middle of the night, probably four AM and Christian was sitting on an arm chair, he had been watching me sleep.
Fear clogged my throat as I stared at him, praying that it was a nightmare.
“My love…” He whispered, that… Was no nightmare.
He was really here.
