"What nonsense are you spouting right now?! Of course, I've always been sincere from the start! I ended it with Andrea right away after meeting her and I have never dated anyone since I met her that eventful day." Aki snarked on the other line, his desperation clearly evident.
"I mean, you were sincere in your actions and yes, you ended it with Andrea and even stopped sleeping around. But did you even tell her how you truly felt? You never did. You went on and placed yourself in her life as a dear friend, a good friend. Of course she's confused now that the cat is out of the bag."
"The attraction between us is so real and it shows. Why is she denying it? How we act toward each other clearly indicates that what we share is beyond friendship, and yet she feigns ignorance!"
"And how you handled the situation is such a shit show, Aki. Just talk to her again and tell her in such a way that she can accept it. You are right. The attraction between the two of you is so obvious, everybody can see it, everybody acknowledges it. It's just that the two people involved choose to not admit to it. Well, not directly and verbally. So, you have to make her accept it in her own way."
"And how do you suppose I do that, huh? She froze, Mike. She fucking froze and kept silent! And now she's avoiding me. I'm certain she is thinking of ways to avoid being in the same air space as me now."
"Well, if I was her, I'd probably do the same?"
"Mike! You're not fucking helping."
"Hahaha. Come on, bro. You already know how Kira is. You know her best and yet you confessed in such a way that did not give her room to even breathe. You cornered her. You dropped a bomb out of nowhere and you expect her to not run for cover? What happened to you, man? Kira is still a woman after all."
"But she is not just any woman, Michael. She is Kira."
"Yeah, yeah. The ONLY WOMAN for you whom you scared silent! Just give her some time at least and then try talking to her again. Make her accept. And do not suddenly go cold on her. She is Kira, after all."
"Uhm."
"Fuck. You did something else, did you? What is it this time?"
"I told her to forget what I said when she tried running away from me at the gym."
"Hahahahaha. You are indeed a fool, brother! Thanks to your stupid statement, you just added fuel to the fire! Now, she's more confused and she'll likely convince herself that you were really just joking!" I couldn't stop laughing. This man is so fucking stupid. He's totally lost it! I just cannot fully understand how the 'Great Damascus Lee' can be blown to smithereens whenever Kira is involved.
"Shut it, Mike. Fuck. You're no help at all. I'm hanging up!" Aki fumed as he abruptly ended the call, not waiting for Michael to stop laughing.
Sigh. Kira is indeed an amazing woman. Who would have thought she can make the 'Great Damascus Lee' make a fool out of himself in more ways than one and do things he is not used to doing?! And why did I even get involved in this? Hmm. But seeing him like this, I am really happy for him. Finally, he allowed himself to feel. Thank you, Kira. You really are the 'Mighty Kira'!
How nice would it be to wake up next to the woman you love, hmm? I probably wouldn't know. Waking up to a hot woman is not so bad as well. I chuckled. A hot woman who can't stop screaming my name under the throes of passion. Yes. That's it. I am okay with this for now. And speaking of, Lisa is still sleeping. I better wake her up and tell her to go home. She doesn't like sleeping here but we ended up doing it excessively. Such a vixen she is. And she knows how to move that body, those hips and those lips. Damn. Sex with her is really satisfying. But that's just it. It's just sex between us. She made that clear from the start. And she's still not Andrea. Oh, Andrea. I wonder when you'll be back in the country. Are you over Damascus? Will you be able to see me this time around? We've been friends for a long time and still you have not spared me a single glance. Damn. Women. I shook my head.
I walked back to my room to wake the lady up lest she freaks out when she wakes up in the morning on my bed.
"Wake up, vixen. Time for me to send you home." I whispered to her ear whilst tracing down from her nape down the length of her spine. She gently stirred in her sleep, but clearly, the several rounds we enjoyed starting yesterday afternoon exhausted her. I waited a few more minutes whilst observing this vixen on my bed. We've been warming each other's beds for months now but I still do not know much about her. Oh, Lisa. Who are you, really? Why do I feel like I am the one on the losing end when it comes to this game that we are playing, huh? What will you do if I let you sleep here the night and you wake up in the morning next to me, huh? This last thought really stirred something in me. The first time we met and hit it off, she made it clear that no sleepovers were allowed. She said something about warming each other's beds does not mean waking up next to each other the following day. And she made it really clear from the start that no matter what time we finish, after resting for a bit, she would either make me leave or leave my place before the sun rises. I would always offer sending her back home but she always refuses. And every time I try to ask about her to get to know her more, she'd find ways to completely change the topic or we'd end up in bed. That is how it is with Lisa.
Well, for now, this setup suits me well as I am still waiting for Andrea to come back to the country and give me some of her time and attention. I've been wanting her for some time now but she always had her eyes on Aki. I better stick to our agreement and wake her up now. I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle the ire of this vixen, and I'm sure as hell that I am not yet ready to end this game we're playing.
"Lisa, baby. Time to wake up. Time to go back home."
She stirred again and mumbled something incoherent. I went closer to her and whispered, "Do you want me to wake you up with my body, baby?" Clearly, the blood has rushed down south. I started to play around her lower back, using my fingers, gently caressing her and arousing her. She started responding to my touches as she slowly roused back to her consciousness.
"Mmmmmm. You naughty boy. Waking me up this way, huh?" Lisa whispered to my ear as she teasingly played with my earlobes. Unable to hold back, I pinned her down and worked on her breasts using my tongue and mouth whilst letting my fingers play with her nether region.
Seeing her body respond to every touch, we continued satisfying each other's lust and enjoyed another round of bliss! After she rested for a few minutes, she stood up and went to the bathroom to clean herself up.
While waiting for her to finish, I could not help but think about what Aki and Kira have. Is that also something I want to enjoy for myself? Or is having Lisa by my side better for me? Do I give up my fixation on Andrea? How do I really even feel about Andrea?
The vixen in front of me brought me back from my reverie as she gave me a passionate kiss as she was about to leave. "That was amazing, baby. I particularly enjoyed the 4th and the one we just had now. No need to send me off. See you whenever!"
She then sashayed her way out of my room, leaving me back to my thoughts.
