Fiance of my Ex-Boss: Chapter 7 - My new couch
I was just about to leave when my phone rang, and a number I didn't have saved called me.
"Yes?"
"Hi, would you mind skipping the boulder today?"
"Kyle?"
"Yes."
"Sure, what do you want to do?"
"I don't know. Talk?"
"Talk. Right. Okay, do you want me to pick you up?"
"No need. I will come over."
"Okay. Sure."
"Okay. See you soon. I will text Zack."
"Cool."
I hung up. Fuck, is he seriously coming over? It's not like I could think about anything else yesterday, but I have to say I wasn't expecting this. Does he want to fuck?
.
I went into the shower just to be sure. Then I heard the bell ring as I stepped out, so I just put a towel around my waist and went down.
"Hi," I said with a smile.
"Ehm... hi," he looked at me and grinned, "is this a bad time?"
"No, I was taking a shower since I won't go to the gym, so I won't shower later. Want to come in?" I pointed inside and stepped away.
"Sure."
Kyle walked in and took off his coat as I closed the door.
"What did you want to talk about?" I asked with a neutral smile.
"Monday," Kyle sheepishly looked at me.
Damn it. Of course. Not that I minded. I just had enough talks about things like this not to get my hopes up. I liked him, which made everything harder, and I was certain he hadn't come here to tell me he just broke his engagement.
"Right, what about it?" I tried to act casual, as if I were talking with any married dude I had just fucked.
Kyle, however, looked at me, stunned. It was not that I didn't care about him; I just had good times with too many married guys to know it's much better to keep my hopes realistic. He is getting married in, like, what, two or three months? I don't suppose he will break up with the guy he's been with for a couple of years just to be with a guy he has known for two months and hooked up with him once.
Yet as I saw him, he looked hurt by my lack of care when he came. Should I care more? Did he expect me to throw myself on him the moment he stepped into my house? I have feelings, too. I will first protect them.
"Well, I just thought..." he looked flustered.
"Yes?" I raised my brow as if expecting some clearer explanation.
He looked genuinely disappointed in my reaction. Well, disappointed at first, but I could see he was slowly starting to blush. But not in a good way.
.
"Fuck man, seriously?"
"What?" I asked, not even considering his feelings. Was he disappointed that I was not by his knees when he decided to visit me? What is he expecting? He is the one engaged.
Kyle crossed his arms in front of his wide chest and broadened his shoulders. As if he had just made up his mind that he understood everything. What the fuck?!
"You are unbelievable!" Kyle slammed his arms down and turned to his coat. "You know what? Fuck it, nothing."
And now he is upset. What the fuck did I do?
He just went to the door. I took his hand and stopped him. "What just happened over here?" I pointed my finger at his forehead.
"Fuck you. I am going."
"Why? You just came."
"Like you even care about that!" Now he looked genuinely hurt.
"Well, maybe I do."
"Then you are a great actor. You should change the profession."
"Kyle, seriously, whatever expectations you had, and I didn't fulfill, I am sorry, but I am my own person."
Kyle rolled his eyes in anger. "You just got what you wanted. It's fine. I get it."
"No, I hadn't, I still didn't get to fuck you, but I can live with that." I tried to smirk, but it wasn't making anything better.
"Right. Let me go," he looked meaningfully at my hand holding his arm.
.
Not a chance, drama queen. I stepped closer and pulled on his arm firmly. My look gently traveled his hurt face. "Why did you come, Kyle?" I spoke softly.
"I wanted to see you," he scoffed at me angrily.
