"... are you still mad at me?"
"No."
"But why look at me so sharply? You're too far away too."
"Not really," Kalea replied curtly, her gaze returning to the book she was reading. She was also not wearing the clothes Arthur had given her earlier. It was too disgusting and exposed from many parts. The girl was only wearing an oversize t-shirt and black leggings.
Arthur sighed, Kalea had been avoiding him. Every time the man approached his sugar baby, Kalea always moved away and didn't want to look at him. Arthur still tried to be patient, he returned to Kalea who continued to give him a sardonic look.
"What do you want? Don't come near!" Kalea forbade as Arthur walked towards the bed. However, Arthur ignored the prohibition. He held Kalea's arm to prevent her from holding his chest to further erode the distance between them.
"I'm sorry," Arthur said looking at Kalea seriously.
Kalea turned her face away, more comfortable looking at the bed lamp than returning Arthur's beautiful eyes. "Never mind, forget it," she said flatly.
"You said forget it, but you didn't forgive me."
"I need time too!" Kalea retorted now turning to the man. He looked at Arthur in annoyance, for some reason Kalea felt like hitting that handsome face with the thick book she was holding. Kalea looked down. "Why does it have to be when you're drunk," she whispered. No one knew how much Kalea hated alcohol, everyone would be uncontrollable if they touched and drank the stuff. Kalea squeezed the blanket tightly, still staring at Arthur in annoyance.
"So if I'm not drunk, I can do it?" asked Arthur who was more focused on his intercourse. A human with a perverted brain indeed.
"Wasn't it you who didn't want to touch me in the first place because I was a virgin?" Kalea asked back, her tone still rude.
"... You're right," Arthur replied. The man sighed and moved his body away from Kalea. Everything was already done. "I've never been that drunk, Lea. This is the first time."
'Liar'
Kalea did not want to easily believe the words of a grown man, especially Arthur who was adept at luring women. After she accepted to be in a relationship with Arthur, she often read and heard advice from many people through social media on how to deal with men like Arthur.
"You're not working?" Kalea asked, changing the topic. She just wanted to forget what had happened, it made her heart sick.
"It's weekend, Lea."
"Ah, okay." Kalea forgot that today was Sunday. Arthur did visit her once a week as much as possible. But not when he was drunk! Kalea panicked as Arthur approached her again.
"Don't change the topic, there's still a lot I want to talk to you about," Arthur said as he picked up the book Kalea was holding. The man looked at Kalea's face which seemed cold to him, no one had ever looked at him like this. Only Kalea, the girl did not seem to be mesmerized by his good looks and perfection. "How do I get you to forgive me?" asked Arthur as he stroked Kalea's cheek.
"Why are you asking me? Isn't treating women well your specialty?" Kalea retorted, leaving Arthur stunned. How dare this girl who was still in her college studies. As if challenging her, Arthur smiled wryly. He brought his face closer to Kalea.
"The way I treat other women is by doing the same thing again. Touching each other's skin, pressing my body against hers, kissing with feeling-"
"E-enough! I don't want to hear it!" cut Kalea off until she closed her eyes.
Arthur chuckled softly, he gave Kalea a quick peck on the cheek and then returned to his original position. "Since you're a kid, I'll give you a break."
"What do you mean by kid?!" protested Kalea.
Arthur raised one eyebrow. "So you want to be considered an adult? Then I'll treat you like an adult woman. Like we did last night," he replied casually. His gaze dropped to Kalea's chest which, even covered by an oversize T-shirt, was large. "For some parts, you're not a kid. You're pretty big, Lea," Arthur teased as he licked his lips.
Kalea suddenly crossed her arms in front of her chest. She glared at the man. "You pervert!"
Arthur laughed crisply at the cat-eyed girl's response. Unlike other women who would willingly give their bodies to Arthur, Kalea was very expensive despite being his sugar baby. Arthur could understand since this was the girl's first time. Even Kalea was forced to because she needed the money. Besides, Arthur didn't want to rush her, he could still do it with other women to satisfy his excessive desire.
"Then today we'll go out," Arthur said as he got out of bed and picked up his phone and put his watch on his left arm.
"Where are we going?" asked Kalea confused.
"Any place you want. Or do you want to spend time with me just here? I don't mind, but just being alone with you in a closed place always makes me lust. Maybe it could happen-"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Let's go!" interrupted Kalea, who knew where the perverted Arthur was going. She got out of bed but didn't know what to do. "You really haven't decided where we're going? I need to adjust my clothes," Kalea said as she looked at her outfit. It was too casual, whereas Arthur always looked neat and smelled good.
"I told you to wear the one I gave you earlier," Arthur replied.
Kalea wanted to hit him.
"Just wear what you feel comfortable in," Arthur said with a smile.
An answer that didn't help. Kalea had tried to fit in with him. She always tried to do everything well despite being Arthur's sugar baby. She didn't want to look shabby when she was next to him and didn't want to embarrass Arthur when he took her out. Even though they weren't real lovers. It's just that looking good and charming is not something wrong.
Kalea noticed the clothes Arthur was currently wearing. A dark gray sweater with the sleeves raised to 3/4, and black material pants. It looked simple but elegant when worn by that man. Kalea snorted, she recognized Arthur's good looks. It seemed that even wearing tattered clothes, the man with a mole under his eye would still look charming.
The girl went to her walk in closet, looking for clothes that suit her. She had already learned how to dress properly. Kalea looked at the clothes she had chosen, then tried them on.
"Hey, it took so long. I'm getting sleepy-" Arthur's eyes rounded when Kalea came out of the room and walked hesitantly towards him.
"Sorry, there was a problem earlier," Kalea said a little nervously. Arthur was still looking at her, how could he not? Kalea was wearing a light brown silk dress that was a little tight especially in the chest, and then pants that were the same color as Arthur.
"This is very tempting," Arthur murmured softly.
"Huh? What?"
Arthur walked over to Kalea. The girl's eyes bulged as Arthur picked her up and carried her to the bed. "What are you doing?!" Kalea screeched.
"Looks like I changed my mind. Doesn't that part of yours still hurt anyway? We'd better stay here," Arthur replied casually and shot the girl a mischievous look.
"N-no! It doesn't hurt! Let me go!" retorted Kalea trying to get away from the 32-year-old pervert.
"You're always teasing me, Lea."
Kalea looked flatly at Arthur who was right in front of her chest. She somehow always ended up under that man. "You're the one who can never contain your lust, I didn't do anything at all!" Kalea protested.
"You're right. Lea who didn't do anything but already made me lust, what if you had intended to tease me?" Arthur kissed Kalea briefly on the lips. He smiled wryly, Kalea tried to hold back her thumping. "Let's do it again."
"What-do what?!"
"The one we did last night. This time I'm completely sober."
