Obsession

// Ten //

I was just in deep shocked. The Adrian I knew or at least loved is not who I'm expecting to. Was he telling me the truth or is this part of Ian's tricks to brainwashing him through me.
Never mind that — I kept my heads in. Nodding and listening to his every words.
"But he wouldn't do that, I mean..." I stops.
Rafe got concerned, thinking Adrian could hurt me next.

"This is why you should be careful. We care about you Katrina and we are trying to be there if anything happens to you."
I didn't fall for any of this but I had to talk to Adrian about it. Whether if it's the truth or not.
"Listen like I said, I wouldn't worry. Just be safe out there and if you need me —,"
My head doesn't process to anything what he says. I bet Adrian wants me back because he knew I would come to him begging for it. I should be careful with every moves I make.
"Thanks Rafe and yeah you're right..." I nod. "You know what I uh I feel tired. Do you want me to call the cab? Maybe tomorrow you can get your bike here."

Rafe refused and he seems so exhausted as well. I let out a sigh thinking this could be a bad idea. If he dares lay a finger on me I'll break his hand.
"Fiine, I uh I'll set up a guest room upstairs for you," I walk up the stairs and fix the bed since Rafe follows me.
He watches me. He admires how I do things, not because Rafe is being a gentleman. He's honest too. If I say it to myself.
"Were you married before?" Rafe asks me curiously.
I glance back, chuckling softly.

My love life doesn't involved on getting married and have family on my own feels like trapped inside. I am born to be single and yes, getting laid on any guys I like. Or even if someone I like the most I'll stick to it. But one past I just don't want to forget. I never moved on from it.
"No, I wasn't married before I uh —," my throat went dry. "I got into some bad business. Worse ones I suppose."
Rafe furrow his brow. Concern even.

"Was it got to do with abusive relationship or anything like that?" Rafe hinted. "You said worse."
I shook my head. Maybe more than that. It's never got to do with abuse or anything else bad. The way Rafe sits down in the chair listening to my problems.
"I got sober from having too much sex. Like it's not that big deal. It's just I used to get involved with BDSM and kinky stuff. Everyone I knew back then thinks of me as a sex addict. But I love it. And trust me that's why I am good at sex."
Suddenly he gave a laugh.

"What?"
Rafe never thinks of her as a sex addict obviously people loves to get pleased. Even he knows that.
"You almost sounded like my cousin but in — different way. You, nah you're just perfect. Perfect the way you are."
He started to yawn. Watching him laying down the bed and winks slowly but drifting off to sleep. I close the door, leaving him be. I went to mine and thought what if I never met my boss/soon-to-be-my-boyfriend again I could just fuck anyone I want. But seeing how Adrian wants me back again makes me realize I want him too.

Like a real couple, like what if Rafe says it's all true. What then? Would he try and behave different?
I have to speak to him right now. Or maybe texting would do good.
Adrian -
We need to talk about you or us if that's what we call ourselves reunited couple.

Now I'm just waiting for his respond to text back. Few seconds, a ping came to my phone. A message from him.

Katrina -
Sure, what is it? Are you okay? Have you thought about it? I just feel like I hurt you deeply.
Adrian.
I read it. He seems to determine on how he's eager to get closer. What can I say I'm hopeless romantic. I texted him back.

Adrian -
No, I'm fine yes. Just...it's about your past. Rafe your cousin told me. Is it true?
Katrina x
I hit sent — hopefully I could get a straight answer from him. If it's a lie, then I would have to face Ian all about it. Another ping came.

Katrina -
It's complicated but...yes it is true. Rafe shouldn't told you this. None of it. I'm suppose to be the /one/ who can. Secrets like mine are much worse than anything. Do you hate me? Do you feel regret on loving me?
Adrian.

Truth hurts. Rafe is right - he is much different than I expected to hear. That's all I need to know, and right now I needed time off.
Adrian -
I never hated you. I'm just confused on why you didn't tell me anything. So right now I need some time off. I promise I'll be fine and update you on how I'm doing.
Katrina x
After I pressed sent, my thoughts floods in and couldn't progress how I'm suppose to do this. I mean I love Adrian a lot, hearing this now almost changes my mind not loving him.

Rafe - POV
I woke up in a middle of the night wondering what Katrina is doing right now. Probably sleeping, or reading a book god knows what that woman is up to.
Lights are off, that means she's asleep. I wanted to inform Ian about this situation instead I want it for myself.
Slowly I push the door quietly open and sees Katrina wearing a silky see through gown.

Wow! What a sight!
I stood there by her side, reaching my hand to her thigh — trailing every skin. Daring myself not to do any further to force her on getting fucked. Her scent were addictive like a drug I could just sniff on some sort of cocaine. I wanted to touch her, but thinking if she sees me like this; Katrina would definitely scream for help.
