Provocative Alliances: Tangled Desires

Channing

          I woke up a little earlier than usual. I felt around the bed expecting Hazel to be near me, but she wasn't. She was no where to be found. "HAZE!" I said sad and confused, but I got no response. I got out of bed, went to the bathroom washed my face and brushed my teeth. I walked out of my room and walked towards the kitchen, ready to make myself breakfast. That was untit I saw Hazel in there making breakfast. With her airpods in probably on full blast because there's no way she didn't hear me yelling her name. Asshole, I thought to myself. All she had on was a pair of panties and one of my shirts on, with her hair in a bun.

I then decided i would sneak up on her. So i slowly walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist, she jumped. I started to laugh, she was not happy about that. "You fucking asshole" She said with a slight smile on her face. "I'm not the asshole you are, I thought you smashed and dashed when I didn't find you in the bed" She chuckled. "Smashed and dashed, really." She said mockingly. I rolled my eyes at her, "you know what I mean." She shook her head and leaned in for a kiss. I kissed her more passionately than I meant to but clearly neither one of us is complaining.

"I made breakfast!" Hazel said excited. "I don't eat breakfast" I lied i definitely do I just wanted to see her reaction. She looked sad and said "oh okay" I shook my head and said "Baby i'm kidding of course I eat breakfast" I don't think she liked that because she slightly punched me in my arm. We sat down and started eating breakfast. After we finished I got ready for work. I took Hazel home so she can freshen up and get ready herself.

We decided to take separate cars to prevent any assumptions from people at work since no one knew. I got to work first then Hazel pulled up right after me. Once we got in the building we went to our offices. Later I saw once of our coworkers Sam go into Hazel's office. I didn't think to much of it it was normal, until I saw Sam being all touchy with my girl. She was touching my girlfriend, I didn't like it one bit. I started getting mad but I calmed down remembering where I was at. I got out of my chair and walked towards Hazel's office. I knocked and walked in once i heard the subtle "come in" come out of my girlfriend's mouth.

"Hey Haze, we need to make a quick trip up to the roof." I said anxiously, trying my hardest to keep my cool. She nodded and said goodbye to Sam before getting up and following me out of her office. We made our way to the roof and as soon as the door shut, I turned to Hazel and asked "What was that about?" pointing to her office.

"What do you mean? Oh, Sam. She was just asking about the project we worked on, but I didn't feel like talking about it in front of everyone." She explained, a little confused. "I didn't like the way she was touching you." I stated, my voice getting slightly louder. Hazel took a step back, clearly not expecting me to react this way. "I can take care of myself, Channing. And I didn't appreciate the way you just dragged me up here without explanation." She said, her voice also getting louder. I could see the hurt and frustration in her eyes and it suddenly hit me that maybe I was being irrational.

"I'm sorry, I just- I don't want anyone else touching you." I said, my voice now softer. Hazel's expression softened, "I understand that, but you have to trust me. And I trust you, I'm yours and you're mine." She said, her voice filled with sincerity. I couldn't help but smile at her words, she was right.
