Desire (RATED R)

Chapter 5

By the time I got out of my meeting with Mr. Vidalgo it was nearly 12:30 pm. I turned on my phone and saw 6 missed calls and 8 text messages. I quickly opened them to see who it was, worrying it might have been a life and death crisis. It was from Maya. I panicked and called back hoping everything was alright.

"Hello? Maya, is everything okay?" I ask.

"Yes Tristan, I'm fine. It was my break time so I wanted to talk to you. I was worried when you weren't picking up." She answered. The thought of her worrying about me made my heart jump. She was worried... about me.

"I'm fine, don't worry. I was in a meeting and my phone was off." I replied into the phone. "Didn't mean to scare you baby." I whispered seductively.

She giggled from the other line which made me smile. Her giggles and her laughs are sweet melodies that play in my head making me enjoy the tunes. The sound of her voice enlightens me, pushing away the sadness and bringing me into the light. She is amazing.

"You're so silly, can't wait to see you tonight." She says into the phone.

"Me either, I'll see you after work baby, I have a shit loads of meeting and papers to do today. I have to hang up." I replied sadly. I didn't want to hang up.

"Okay, see you soon." She says and blows me a kiss through the phone.

I head back home at 4:00 pm and take a quick shower. After I get out I dig into my closet and pick out something casual that says "relax dudes I'm a normal guy, but I'll beat the shit out of you if you try something with Maya". You can say I was fucking insane, Maya made me that way. I wore my dark blue jeans and a white v neck shirt. On top I wore a black leater jacket and put on black boots. I look at myself in the mirror admiring my attractiveness. I wasn't cocky but I learned to accept my good looks and my charms.

I picked up Maya at 7:15 pm and met her friends at The Raines Law Room, the cocktail bar on W 17th Street. I parked my car at the nearest parking spot and we headed into the bar.

I entered with my beautiful woman by my side as 3 men and 2 women gestures us to join them. I held Maya by the waist close to me so everyone got the hint that she was mine. Is she Bass? Is she yours?

"Happy Birthday Marcus!" Jumped Maya and gave a hug to the long skinny man with dark brown hair. He was wearing a navy blue blazer and black jeans. Blazer and jeans? This man clearly has no fashion.

I observed as Marcus wrapped his arm around Maya to give her a bear hug. I was not enjoying the view, they seemed very close. Too fucking close. "Thank you darling." He answered.

Maya looked at me and mouthed: "Relax."

That did not help me relax. At all.

"Guys, this this Tristan Bass." Introduced Maya.

"Her boyfriend." I added staring at all the guys at the table.

"The Tristan Bass?" Asked one of the girls.

"Yours truely." I replied.

"I'm Natalie by the way." She answered. She was really pretty, long brown hair with hazel brown eyes. She was really tall and had tan skin. She wasn't my type though, Maya was.

"You remember Jessica." Introduced Maya to the other girl, who seemed very familiar.

"Great to see you again Mr. Bass." Said Jessica.

Oh yes. The friend who ditched Maya at the hospital. "Tristan please." I said. "Too awkward for you to be going around calling me Mr. Bass."
