Second Chance

Chapter 5

I woke up the next morning, and there was a cold draft behind me. I turned to find the bed empty. I guess Matheo got freaked out by what I said and didn't want to see me in the morning. I heard voices coming from the kitchen. I sneaked out to see Isabella was still sound asleep in her bed. I quietly walked down the hallway to see Matheo talking to someone. They sounded familiar. "Yeah, I got a new investment I want to make, and this one is as clean cut as they come. Just invent with me Matheo." The man said.

"No, the last time you said that I almost went bankrupt, go find someone else to have them waste money." Matheo sounded annoyed, "please man, just look at the numbers." the guy pulled out a folder and tried to show them to Matheo. "Damn it, Ben go! I said no!" I froze. Did he just say Ben? As in my Ex Ben? I stepped out so he could see me and when he did, he slowly shook his head. "who are you looking at?" Ben said, turning to follow his gaze. I turned so my hair blocked my face. I turned around and went back to his room. "Damn, she is a pretty thing, ain't she?" "Just fucking go." I heard Matheo say I had never heard him get mad before.

Ben was here? They were still friends? I can't be his friend if he is still friends with Ben. My heart doesn't hurt when I think of Ben and how he used me. I feel nothing towards him now. But I won't be friends with Matheo if he still has temptations to go back to who he was before. I suddenly felt so stupid being here. I looked around and found the basket of clothes was empty. Damn it, I looked around and found my phone; I heard the front door shut and footsteps going towards the room.

I heard his door open, and I pretended to be scrolling through my phone. "You're still friends with him?" I said, trying to hide my annoyance. "Andrea, look at me." I felt tears in my eyes. I felt so stupid for trying to be his friend. Had he really changed at all? I turn and try to hide the fact that there were tears in my eyes. "Are you still friend with him? Because I like this new Matheo, the changed Matheo, but if he is still you friend, then you can still go back to being who you were and I can't be friends with you if you go back. I won't." A tear fell down my cheek, and I quickly wiped it away.

"Andrea, what's going on?" He said, his voice soft, "I don't trust people easily. I don't become their friend or get close to their kids unless I trust them. But I will not have him back in my life, so answer me, are you still friend with him? Because I can't trust you if you are." He was silent and I guess I got my answer, "wow I'm so fucking stupid." I mumble as I try to push past him and go home. "Andrea, wait, listen." he grabbed my arms gently and blocked me from leaving his room. He had on the same outfit from last night. "What Matheo? I have to call and get my window fixed."

He sighed. "I am not friends with him." I look up at him, "then why was he here?" "Because every time he finds something to invest in, he tries to con money out of me. I don't know how he even freaking found me. I swear I'm not the same guy I was. Please, Andrea." I look into his eyes and I could tell he meant it. "Okay," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. He gave me a small smile, the same one that got me into this whole situation. "We can still be friends, right?" He asked, and I smiled. "Yes." he picked me up and bear hugged me. "Good." "I can't breathe," I say and he sets me down as I take in a big gulp of air.

"Okay, so I need to call someone to come fix my window." I said as I pulled out my phone. He kissed the top of my head and sent a shiver down my spine. "Isabella is still asleep, and she sleeps like a rock." He whispered in my ear, and I couldn't help but smile. I shut off my phone and looked at him. "What did you have in mind?" He smiled as he pulled me closer to him and kissed me. I wrap my arms around his neck as he picks me up.

He carried me to the bed and laid me on my back. He put his hand in my hair and I let out a slight moan. He trailed kisses down my spine, and I bit my lip to keep myself from making any noise. He got lower and lower until he got into my panties; he pulled them aside and twirled his tongue around until I let out a low moan. "Please don't tease today." I mumble and he came back up and smiled. "fine only today" he reached into his nightstand and pulled out a condom. He slid it on and before I could say anything, he picked me up and leaned me against the headboard of the bed and slammed into me.
