You didn't tell anyone why you told the police to go home that day, other than that it was because Kai never showed up.
Jude sat across from you in your office, her nose in a campaign booklet, highlighting things she thought should be changed.
"I think the wording of this needs reevaluation," she began chewing on the end of her pen as she flicked through the pages, speaking out loud every thought she had.
You weren't really paying attention though. Your gaze had settled on the young couple walking their dog in the park across the street. Nothing seemed to switch on your working brain, not even the stress of the impending interview.
All you could think about was Kai. The absolute hold this man had on you was becoming unbearable, with every waking moment spent fantasising about everything that he'd done, could do, to you.
"Are you even listening to me?" Jude had finally snapped you out of your daydream by clicking her fingers in front of your face. You turned to face her with wide eyes, and finally exhaled after what felt like hours.
"I'm sorry Jude I'm just-"
"Totally not taking this campaign seriously? You know this was all your idea, right?"
Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion and your jaw set in anger. You didn't know why Jude had suddenly gotten so hostile, or why she was guilt-tripping you into thinking you weren't holding up your side of the bargain. But it wasn't the fuel you needed right now.
Just as you were about to reply with your rebuttal, your ringtone sounds from your phone on the desk. You pick it up, staring in confusion at the screen at the "unknown number". It could be important.
"Hello, Y/N speaking," You picked up the call, holding the phone closely to your ear.
"Yeah I know who it is," there was a dark chuckle down the line, and you knew it could be no other than the very man that consumed your thoughts.
"What do you want?" You spoke brashly, getting up from your chair and holding a single finger up to Jude as if to tell her you'll be back to finish the conversation later, and set out into the hallway.
"Now that's not a very nice way to greet me, is it?" Kai sounded giddy, you could just imagine the sick smile plastered across his face.
You didn't reply, chewing down on your thumb nail as you scoured the hallway for anyone that could be listening into your conversation.
"I was wondering if you wanted me to come over again tonight? No cops, of course, just some fun."
You almost choked on your own saliva at the mere mention of his proposition.
"You're kidding right? How did you even get my number?"
"I don't know why you're even asking me that doll, you know I have my ways," you should've known the answer would be vague.
"I don't think that's appropriate," you had to bite back your smile. You felt despicable even considering it, but you had to admit, it was the best you'd ever had, and the most exciting thing that's ever happened in your otherwise monotonous life.
"Don't you have other people you can have sex with?"
"Where's the fun in that? Plus, I don't think I've ever enjoyed it as much as I do with you, maybe it's the rivalry."
You could already feel the beating pulse between your legs. He'd exactly vocalised everything you'd been thinking since last night. Was it the rivalry that made it so good? Or was it Kai? Maybe that would be a thought for later.
