Tangled in Temptation 18+

T H I R T Y - MY LOVE

Romeo smiled at the sleeping beauty laying beside him. Her lips were partly opened and a little dried drool marked her chin. She laid on her belly, her ass completely exposed. He bit his lip as he remembered last night's lovemaking. Why was make up sex sweeter than normal sex?

He smiled at his phone screen as he recorded his beauty.

Her eyes slowly opened and the first thing she saw was him and she smiled. It was nice waking up to someone in the morning.

"Good morning, beautiful," He beamed and she blushed,

"Stop it, Romeo. Look at me, I'm a mess," She giggled.

"You're my mess," He cooed and she stared at him fondly.

That's when she noticed the phone in his hand and her smile dropped abruptly, "Are you recording me?"

He nodded, "Yeah, is there something wrong?"

Frantically, she sat up and pulled the covers over her body, "Stop recording,"

Puzzled, Romeo stopped the video and put his phone down, "I didn't know you didn't like to be recorded,"

"Well, you should've asked me first,"

"You were sleeping so peacefully, I didn't want to wake you,"

"Delete it, please and next time do not record me when I'm naked. What if it leaks? I'm not a pornstar and you know I'm a very private person," She snapped, glaring at him.

He raised a hand in surrender, "Whoa! Calm down. I'm sorry. I didn't know that you don't like to be recorded,"

"Well, now you know," She scoffed and he raised a brow. Why is she so arrogant?

He quickly deleted the video and said softly, "So, about yesterday..."

"Yeah,"

"First, I would like to know if you're still interested in me." He continued hesitantly.

She pursed her lips as she dashed him a dumb look, "Really, Romeo? If I wasn't interested in you, I wouldn't be here,"

Romeo sighed, "It's just that recently, it seems like you've lost interest. You don't talk to me anymore. You don't even call again,"

Hailey cocked a brow as she turned her body to stare at him, "I could say the same about you, Romeo,"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean you don't talk to me anymore too. You read my messages and you don't reply until you want to. You don't even call me anymore. I have been doing the same thing to you. I'm glad you know now how it feels to be ignored,"

Romeo rolled his eyes frustratingly, "Why are you turning this around on me? I would never ignore you, Hailey. Sometimes I get really busy and I may not be able to talk to you as much as I'd like."

"I'm not turning anything around on you, Romeo. I'm just stating the reality. I know that you're working, Romeo, but you do this everyday. Are you saying that you're busy 24/7?" Hailey pressed.

Romeo shook his head, "No, but-"

"You have no excuse. I've missed you so fucking much. Sometimes I really need your company and you're never there. Sometimes I'm up late at nights, wishing that I was talking to you instead of my friends,"

"Hailey, please understand. I run a company and sometimes I get so tired. Many times when I get home, I go straight to bed because of how exhausted I am. I've seen you online late at nights. I know there's somebody else taking my place," Romeo breathed out.

Hailey narrowed her eyes at him, "Okay, firstly, I know you're the CEO and it can get very exhausting. I do understand that but I refuse to believe that you're tired all the time. Secondly, there is nobody taking your place. Romeo, you're the only man I have. The only man I want. I've told you this so many times. Why do I have to keep telling you this over and over again?"

"Then who have you been texting late at nights, huh? And why do you always turn the wifi off on your phone when you are here as if you're preventing a call from your other boyfriend?" He yelled.

Hailey's jaws dropped, "My other boyfriend?! What other boyfriend?! Romeo, come on. We have been through this so many times. What is so wrong about wanting to focus on you whenever I'm around you? Whenever I'm with you, I just want to be with you so I turn my network off. My friends and family can wait. You are of the utmost importance when I'm here. Are you really that insecure? You know what I think? I think that you don't believe I'm faithful to you because you are not faithful. Romeo, you're cheating on your wife with me! Of course you'd accuse me of cheating when you are doing the same to your wife! You'll never believe that I actually want you alone,"

Romeo stared at her. He wanted to believe her but he just couldn't. Was he really insecure?

He sighed, giving up. This was pointless. He knew she was cheating on him.

There was another thing he wanted clarity on.

"Do you enjoy it when we have sex?"

'What a stupid question,' She thought.

Rolling her eyes, she replied in a monotonous tone, "Of course,"

"Then why is your face blank when we have sex? It seems as if you're not enjoying when we have sex. Like I'd be on top of you and when I look at you, your face is blank and it seems as if your mind is elsewhere,"

Hailey stared at him as if he was dumb. Was he serious?

"What the fuck are you talking about, Romeo? Are you blind? How much more do you want my face to twist when we're fucking? How can you think that I don't enjoy  our sex? Every time we have sex, I moan and I have orgasms. Do you think I fake it?" Hailey snapped, getting even more agitated.

"You could be,"

She couldn't help but glare at him in annoyance. He couldn't be serious.

"You know what? I'm not doing this! You'll never see things from my perspective. You'll always think that I have another man and I don't know how else to prove to you that you're my only man. I think we need to take a break. I'm tired of arguing back and forth with you about the same thing over and over again," Hailey replied as she hopped out of the bed.

"Hey, please don't leave," Romeo pleaded softly.

She hissed her teeth and began to put her clothes on, "I can't do this right now. Please don't call me or text me for a few days. I need time to think,"

She grabbed her purse and hurried towards the door, without sparing a glance at him. Romeo's stomach dropped as he watched her marching out of the bedroom.

"Hailey!" He called, running after her.

She began to walk even faster, eager to get out of his presence. She was about to burst in anger. How could he be so foolish and oblivious?

Reaching outside, she slammed the front door behind her and ran to the bus stop.

"Hailey..." Romeo whispered softly as he placed his forehead on the door.

Was she gone for good?
