HE TOOK his phone out and saw it was Malena. He's already stressed out with work and they are not on good terms so he hesitates to answer the call but John persuades him to answer it.
He said she might want to make amends. Lucian sighs deeply and then answers the call.
"Hey!"
"Lucian!" A soft voice could be heard from the other line.
"Are you busy today?" She added.
"Yes, why?" He says it matches her soft tone.
"Drive me to Maisie's house. Like right now." She says with a demanding voice
"Is it an emergency?" He asked in a worried tone
"No, she's having a party and I want to go there in a luxury car to shut them up! You've always been busy with that good-for-nothing company of yours." She says with an angry tone.
The tone of her voice irritates Lucian and she speaks to him as if he's not doing anything important with his life. He then said to her, "Book an Uber Black and never call me for these trivial things." He then disconnected the call.
The grip on his phone tightened and John felt the annoyance in his eyes. She might have her period, he says, trying to make his friend less irritated.
He was about to put the phone back in his pocket when he heard a text notification.
He glances at the screen and it's an unknown number. The text reads;
2:15:10pm Hey! It's me, the girl from Tavern. A few nights ago.?
His face lit up a bit and responded;
2:15:30pm See you tonight at Tavern?
In her mind, wow he responds that fast?
2:16:02 pm Sure, 7 pm?
2:16:18 pm Yes.
After sending that message, he locks his phone and puts it in his pocket. John got curious, he just saw him get annoyed then now he has a faint smile on his face.
"Who's that?"
"My stress reliever!" He says while cleaning up the takeout boxes and leaving John in the room.
At exactly 7 pm Blade arrived at the Tavern, he parked his car and texted her.
She then responded that she was around the corner, he got out of the car to meet her, and he saw her first. She was wearing a knee-high black skirt with a dark gray turtleneck.
She waved at him when she saw him. At that time, he had time to change his clothes to a much more casual one, he was wearing denim pants, rubber shoes, and a white tee. He was also carrying a backpack.
They walk a foot away from each other as if they don't know each other (Basically they don't).
They arrive at the room and instead of kissing each other as the door closes like they did before, they sit on the bed. Blade is at the foot of the bed, while she sits across from him and leans on the headboard.
Then he told her about the rules he set up. If she wants to continue seeing him.
Rule number one: When they cross each other outside and they are with someone they will act as if they don't know each other.
Rule number two: No excessive communication (phone calls/texts).
Rule number three: She can only sleep with him till she gets married.
She agreed to his terms since that's the same thing she wants. That made him happy, he then asks her for her name but instead of answering him, she asks him if Blade is his real name.
He laughs and then says, "Yes!"
She chuckles, she does not believe him one bit. "You liar, that's not even a name. It's an item for cutting," she says to herself.
"Then call me Sieve. Can I add a rule?" She asks.
He nods in agreement.
"Rule number four: No sharing of any Identifiable Information, we can share stories but not complete names of persons, places, events anything that will point you to me and vice versa.
I'm a deranged person with lots of daddy issues. I can be crazy at times and I might stalk you" — She says while staring at him seductively.
Then she smiles from ear to ear, "I'm kidding," she added.
Her demeanor aroused him and he quickly grabbed her foot and pulled her. Her head slightly bumps on the headboard, he pins her down and kisses her on the lips while still gasping for air she mutters, "Lastly, rule number five: Never fall in love."
"I won't."
"I know you won't. You're way out of my league." She said to herself while smiling faintly.
He then removed her top and saw the faint marking he left on her neck.
He then moved to add more markings, and she released a soft moan.
After the mood is set up, he pounds her in different ways. From missionary to Spooning to cowgirl style.
Her moans became shaky along with her body as he roughly inserted his into hers.
He opened one condom to another till the bedside was filled with its wrapper.
While both of them are lying down, he asks her when is her wedding. She then answered, "it's supposed to be in 2 months from now but I'm able to move it to October 21, so 4 months away."
"That's good I can have you for 4 more months."
Without him noticing, she was blushing.
"Can I ask you something?"
He hums in agreement.
"How many girls have you slept with? Like 100? And how sure are you that you're safe? I know it's late for me to ask about it but I just want to make sure we're clear."
She says while staring at the ceiling.
He then moves to her side to look into her eyes. He then said, "More or less maybe 80, and we are safe. I'm using the best-grade condoms money can buy, you cannot easily poke holes in them, I tried. I also have monthly checkups, so you don't need to worry about it."
He then patted her on the head.
He moved to the other side of the bed grabbed his bag, took out four boxes of pills, and gave it to her.
Astounded, she stared at the boxes in his hands but she gladly accepted them.
"Drink one every day."
"I want to continue banging you without using those," pointing at the condoms on the nightstand.
She nods in agreement.
He then went to take a shower and left afterward.
