When I got back to Connor's apartment, I was surprised that he was still asleep and at the same, relieved that he did not notice my absence from the house. I dropped my tote bag quietly in my bedroom, careful not to wake Connor, and headed to the kitchen to make breakfast. I pulled out a bagel and some jam from the fridge and fixed myself coffee with the Nespresso machine. As I spread the strawberry jam over the bagels, a smile broke on my face. I replayed the image of Connor, naked and tempting on my bed.
The image of last night flooded my memories. Warm hard chest, passionately hitching breath and a sweaty body as he trusted deep into me. I swear I would never be able to have enough of him. I would never have had enough of the sweet pleasures I got from the mere sight of him.
The usual reminder that I was once again only temporary, crept through my mind, the reminder firm and foreboding. But I pushed it to the back of my mind. For the first time, let me be careless. For the first time, let me be inconsiderate and uncalculated. I was tired of being too careful all the damn time. All of my actions and words followed a plan that I had always laid down. I wanted to simply...be.
I almost laughed at myself for the thought. No matter what, I knew I could never simply...be. Not with Connor. Not with the many shits I had already gotten myself involved with and there was no atonement for the things I have seen. The things I have heard too. I could only choose to simply...be among the many hurdles.
"What's cooking?" Connor's deep and slightly hoarse voice filled the kitchen and I turned my head to cast him a quick look. He was shirtless, with only his trouser draped to his waist. The hard, fine lines of his body were enough for a morning breakfast. I felt the insides of my pussy squirm at the sight and I forced myself back in check.
"Nothing much." I turned back to spreading the bagel, half wishing he would come up here to kiss me and hug me close to his body. But I guessed I was only dreaming too far. We had only had sex. It was nothing special.
To him.
"So...what will you be doing today?" He took a seat on one of the kitchen stools.
"At home hiding from Ryan as usual," I replied with an unintended sarcasm in my tone.
"Come with me to the agency today, Kenz." He said and I casted him another quick look, smiled to myself and continued sorting the breakfast.
Why? Was he missing me already?
"You don't want me to be a distraction," I replied, finally bringing the tray of breakfast to the table. I drew my stool and sat in front of him.
"You are not a distraction, Kenz. Besides..." He picked a jam-spread bagel from the tray and took a bite from it. "I have never had my new girlfriend come visit me at my agency before. Don't you think people will find it odd?"
Now, I was beginning to wonder if Connor had ever had a case of borderline personality disorder. One moment, he acted like nothing ever happened between us last night and another moment, he was being persistent about being around me in his agency.
Or was I simply overthinking things?
I smiled and shook my head unbelievably. "You are just trying to guilty trap me." I took a long sip of my coffee.
"Come on, Kenz." Connor insisted and I nodded my head finally.
"Fine. I'll come with you."
A small smile broke on his face, exposing his perfectly arranged white teeth and his deep dimples. My heart melted at the sight and I swear I was ready to say "fine" a million times again just so I could see that smile on his face again.
"Cool!" He clapped his hand together. "Wear something sexy. I want to show my girlfriend to the world."
"Fake girlfriend." I corrected and he laughed and waved it off.
"Whatever."
No matter how hard we tried to push it behind us, one thing was for sure. I was his fake girlfriend and the other girl who was busy fucking my best friend was his real woman.
