Mine

Chapter 7

 

After breakfast, Kimberly went out to get some groceries while Ian remained at home. On her way to the supermarket, she couldn't help but think back to their lovemaking that morning, Ian was a different person in bed that morning, one she couldn't recognize. It was like she awoke some kind of beast inside of him. The bite marks all over her body were proof of his actions which she didn't want to look at for the time being.

She got what she asked for. The sex was amazing, she could still feel the effect on her lower part but she had to be honest with herself, she didn't like that Ian. She was satisfied with the gentle and passionate Ian she fell in love with but she couldn't help but feel kinda proud and at the same time moved when she saw the look of content on Ian's face after he devoured her.

Maybe she would let him have his way once in a while, that would spice up their relationship, she thought to herself.

When Kimberly was done shopping, she headed home. On her arrival, she noticed Ian walking a black-haired guy who looked quite familiar to the door, both had smiles on their faces.

"Hey, babe," Ian greeted as she climbed out of the car.

"Hey," she replied with a smile, placing a kiss on Ian's cheek.

"Meet my best friend, Simon... You two have met before but haven't been properly introduced."

No wonder he looked so familiar, she thought to herself taking Simon's outstretched hand for a handshake with a warm smile.

"It's my pleasure to finally come face to face with the queen that stole Ian's heart,"

"Thanks." she shyly replied, already blushing red from his compliment.

"Hey man, that's enough." Ian playfully glared separating their hands. Simon laughed at his best friend's action.

"Someone's scared," he teased.

"Dream on. You're not a competition." Ian countered back.

"You think so?" Simon had an eyebrow raised at his best friend as if to say he didn't sound convincing.

"Alright guys, that's enough... Would you mind staying over for some snacks?" Kimberly asked interrupting their bickering.

"Thanks, but I need to run some errands. Maybe some other time."

"Okay."

"Give me a call when you and Leo are done talking," Ian said as they exchanged a bro hug.

"Sure thing. Once again, it was  nice to meet you, Kim." Simon warmly shook hands with Kimberly again.

"Bye, Simon." she waved goodbye as he jogged to his car.

"Let's get the groceries out of the car." She then said after Simon's car was out of view, grabbing Ian's hand and leading him to her car.

"So, how long have you been friends with Simon?" Kimberly asked Ian while arranging the groceries she just bought in the pantry.

"We met while in training," he replied helping himself to an apple.

"That's quite a while," she said amused as she was now placing some cartons of milk in the refrigerator.

"Yeah... Cool right?"

"Yeah. I can barely keep a friendship for two years since everyone complains about how uptight and busy I always am," she explained with a half-hearted smile sitting on one of the island stools.

Kimberly had always envied people who made friends quite easily since she wasn't a social butterfly, being introverted was one of her strongest flaws and she couldn't do anything about it. She sometimes wonders how she has been able to keep her relationship with Ian for the past three years. It scares her sometimes when she thinks of the future ahead.
