BROKEN ALPHA'S WITCH MATE

Chapter 28: Trouble in paradise

Lynn

What started as a movie night that Thursday evening went south when a kissing scene came up on the screen and we also couldn't keep our lips from each other, we only kissed once before he swept off the couch and carried me like a baby to the bed. Kai was lying on his back grabbing the sheets with hands while mine were buried in his chest. I was riding him like a pony, going up and down his erection, the bed bouncing as a result of our combined weight and rhythm of my movements. My aroused n*****s in the air like a couple of antennas, my breasts also dancing to the movements of my abdomen. When I slowed down he took charge, his hands were around my waist pounding inside of me with all his might. I collapsed on top of him moaning around his neck area, with my hard n*****s poking his rigid hairy chest.

His last stroke opened up the flood gates and I felt my juices drip out of every inch of my body while I just embraced him tight as if he was going to slip out of my grip.

"Thank you that was amazing" I whispered in his ear.

"You're welcome" he said and gently pushed me off him. He rolled off the bed and strode to the bathroom shutting the door behind him with a bang.

That was the second sign of not being okay. I could feel it since he I called him earlier to remind him of movie night he rescheduled to Thursday to make it up to me. It was seven and there was no sign of him. After that call he showed up an hour late. It was so unlikely of him. Then two, after s*x we usually cuddled, talked a little and hit the shower together to prepare for bed or have another round in the bathroom. Something was off. He was going off script.

"Can I come in?" I asked knocking gently on the door.

As a man perhaps his male ego wasn't going to allow him to tell me what was going on but that did not mean I couldn't try. Sometimes people just want to see you try showing care after all, there is a thin line between showing care and loving someone. They are often confused, Kai that evening could perhaps use some care not love.

"Sure!" He answered after a long silence.

He was washing his face by the sink when I walked in and he just took a quick glance at me before he went back to rinsing his mouth. I went straight to the shower and emerged with a towel around my waist. He was leaning on the wall absent-minded, only his eyes were moving.

"You're not yourself today" he followed me back to the bedroom.

I chose him a short and a grey t-shirt while I put on my night dress. He didn't answer until we got back on the bed and he had my head on his chest his right arm around me possessively.

"Am fine, why did you ask?"

"You know what am talking about. You're just pretending. If it's about s*x you can tell me you know"

"What about s*x. I think we're both enjoying it"

"Or maybe you're not or you want an improvement or you don't want to have it at all"

A laugh escaped his lips and his hand massaged my belly.

"The s*x is good, can we change the topic now?"

"To why you're so off today. I have this feeling like you don't want to be here, am forcing you to be here"

Kai turned around, we lay facing each other and he let me look into his eyes smiling sheepishly his hands on my shoulders mine hanging in the balance waiting for confirmation. Did he want to be there or he didn't? It was starting to occur to me that I had gotten so deep into our friends with benefits thing that I did not realize it wasn't meant to last.

"I want to be here, with you, every day of the week not just Fridays and Wednesdays. Am sorry about today okay, it's the first time I've been late and you have to forgive me. It won't happen again alright?"

"Okay" I said and kissed him goodnight before facing away and covering my body. Moments later I felt his arms around me and his d**k on my ass crack, he covered us up to our necks. His body heat and heartbeat combined brought a soothing sleepy feeling. Drastically we got drawn to the realm of dreams.

*******

My alarm rang so loud that I felt as if it was a pair headphones around my ears. I groaned with devastation and buried myself in the pillows rolling over to an empty bed. Now the alarm was not even having an effect on me. My eyes opened slowly, it was the realization that I was alone.

"Kai!" I called out quickly getting out of bed, barefoot I walked on the cold tiled floor to the bathroom, he wasn't there, then to the living room, no sign of him anywhere.

Kai was gone. When I walked back to the bed I saw the note hanging on the lamp. It had to feel good doing to me what I did to him.

"Hey sunshine, something came up I'll call you later in the day. Bye and thank you for having me" it read.

Bullshit. What could have come up that early in the morning. It hurt me to realize he didn't have the balls to just say: hi we've had some fun but you don't entice me anymore and you'll do me a big favor by limiting our interactions...that would hurt but at least it would have also let me know blankly what I was dealing with. My mood for the morning was officially ruined. I chewed the hell out of that note and took a quick shower then prepared for work.

Seated at the back seat of the cab with my coffee at hand, staring lazily at oncoming traffic and a sea of people walking to work others working out in the cold ski city weather. In my mind I couldn't stop thinking about Kai and what had happened to him all of a sudden. He was like a stranger. The last time I saw the authentic him had been during the helicopter date that just blew up my mind. And that kiss in the lift that made me think perhaps he was starting to like me and I was not some kind of emotional support human...well I was, but had I not tried my best to be something else?

What could be the problem really? It was not like I was cheating on him. If I wasn't at work I was with him or Mona, maybe sleeping and cooking from you tube tutorials or hitting the gym, taking shots in the studio. And I called him every day we were not supposed to meet even if he didn't, just to check on him. I wasn't perfect but from my point of view I was doing everything right. Or maybe he was healed of insomnia and he didn't need me anymore? If that was the case I was ready to let go of him. My duty was to help him and in return let him fill that void of needing a man in my life, something he had done so perfectly that he got me wishing he was mine for good.

"Are you okay back there, I've been calling you for two minutes now we are here!" The annoyed cab driver said in my face.

"Am sorry keep change" I said and gave him a random dollar bill from my purse before walking out of the cab to the offices.

I honestly felt sick in my stomach walking to the stairs. My colleagues who were now starting to like me waved and I waved back faking a smile. The shades of my previous relationship were starting to show up in a "situationship" I was having. Was it true that maybe in exchange for my breathtaking looks love was just an abstract noun in the vocabulary of my life? I got in my office and dropped on my chair breathing heavily. Something was telling me to call him and just ask what I had done wrong. But again something else kept telling me I was just overthinking. Kai was a billionaire, he had a lot to take care of and I was not important than business.

That's how I got back my zeal to work. I made my mind believe that he was going to call me and explain everything and it was all going to make sense. That I was not the problem. A smile escaped my lips as I switched on my computer.

To make it even better, Mona walked in, dressed in a red high low dress with a matching red purse and ballerina flats. She took a spin around and I left my feet to check her out smirking her ass gently before we hugged and giggled, kissed each other’s cheeks.

"Cut the bullshit, what was that face you had on while coming in!" She said and sat on my desk.

One of her annoying characteristics. Psychosis. I hated the fact that she was a shrink and it didn't take her much observation to tell fake from real happiness. She had seen me and I didn't see her.

"b***h please"

"Uh-uh" she said her index finger in the air, "What's going on, are you on your period or what?"

"No, it's Kai"

When I mentioned Kai she rolled off the desk and sat comfortably on the chair opposite mine. His had always been an interesting topic to discuss.

"Just so you know I support every decision you'll make. I had this weird feeling there was no way he could be that perfect...."

"What are you talking about? We are not breaking up, we are not even together in the first place"

"Ooh, so what's up if he has not hurt you. Or he is making you so happy that you feel bad about yourself?"

"Shut up...okay, we had movie night yesterday, Wednesday he cut short our date to have dinner with his parents. So I woke up today and he was gone. He just left a note"

"What did it say?"

"That something came up he will call me later in the day"

"For a man like Kai a million things could have come up worth billions of dollars. I trust him"

"You don't get it, since that dinner with his parents on Wednesday he has been off. Like he isn't having fun being around me anymore and I couldn't help but feel like am the...."

"Don't you dare say that. You're not perfect but you play your duties so well. He hasn't had fun and public interested in him until you showed up. Give yourself some credit and don't sweat it. He’ll come round. That’s if he is as smart as he looks"

"So I should wait for that call?"

Mona left her seat and cupped my face. She enjoyed behaving like my elder sister. I had not run away from mum after all.

"Don't call him, you didn't leave. He did"

"Thank you. Am not paying for that I hope"

"You're buying me a snack at the cafeteria over lunch, good day!" She shouted on her way out.

Assurance that I was not the problem, that's all I needed. But I had no idea things were going to get way worse. His behavior that day was just the tip of the iceberg and it was not me making a mountain out of a mole hill. Once again I'd be on the receiving end of disappointments and frustrations. And this one’s would break and hurt me but not like my previous ones simply because I chose the problem this time.
