Did I Ever Mention

Chapter 5

Acclie and Chris staggered into her condo, wrapped in a tangled mess. They had made out all the way up the elevator. He had pinned her to the glass wall of the elevator and kissed her intensely with those, soft, luscious, lips...

Acclie pulled her tank over her head and started un-buttoning Chris's dress shirt. She took a peek at his 8-pack abs. God. Yum.

"Acclie," Chris said, hesitating for just a moment. "Don't you have a boyfriend?"

Acclie raised an eyebrow. "No," She gasped through her hard breathing. She started back for Chris.

He kissed her again, making his way for Acclie's neck. She tilted her head back and let out a deep breath.

Making their way for Acclie's master, she smiled her cocky smile.

Acclie opened her eyes slowly. Chris was watching her, with those beautiful blues. His hair looked even more messy.

"Hey, beautiful," Chris whispered.

Acclie rolled onto her side and looked him in the eye. She grinned. "Hey." She ran her hands through his adorable hair.  Chris clutched her wrist.

She crawled onto Chris and straddled him. "That was great last night," Accclie breathed. "But unfortunately, when do you have to go?" Her voice trailed off as she leaned in to kiss him.

Chris moved his head to look at her auto alarm-clock. "Shit!" He frowned and Acclie slid off of him. He threw sheets that covered him off, and pulled on his pants. "I'm sorry. I totally forgot about Club Meznon. My dad and I have a meeting that started..." He looked at the clock again. "10 minutes ago. We're putting the Club up for investors, so people can get some shares of stock."

Acclie pulled her sheet over her chest and put a horrified look on her face. "Are you rejecting me?"

Chris slipped over to the bed. "No... Look I have to go. Can we do this again sometime?"

Acclie slapped him. Hard. She didn't mean to make it cruel, but something weird and possessive came over her. I really am going crazy. Acclie added: "Get out!"

Chris was stunned. He staggered off the bed then picked up his shoes and hustled out the door. Acclie fell back down on her bed and fell asleep once more.

 Riiinnggg... Riiinnggg... "Hello?" Karra asked dryly.

Acclie smiled. "Karra?"

"Yeah. What do you want?"

Acclie frowned. Karra was not being friendly at all. "Um.. I called to say I was really sorry about our club incident. It was DEF wrong of me. Do you forgive me? You're all I have... and you know it too." She let her voice trail off to a whisper. Hopefully Karra would be as quick to forgive as Acclie was. Karra was just as wrong anyway.

"Well," Karra said unenthusiastically, "I don't know about you. What the hell even happened? You're going crazy...."

"Karra, something weird came over me. You're right, this Alex thing is making me nuts. I need to just get over it." Acclie tried her best at lying. Once you lie so many times, you get good at it, like it's a second language.

"All right, all right. I forgive you, my little beyotch." Acclie could practically hear Karra's smile through her voice. Acclie smiled too, even though Acclie wasn't going to be friends with her... It was all in using someone for her own benefit. Like going back to middle school, the scientific relationship called commensalisim, where one organism benefits, the other organism is unaffected.

Acclie was going to have to start calling herselft the master manipulator. She was good at it.

"Happy to be your beyotch again, slutty hoe!" Acclie and Karra laughed in unison. "I have to go. Let's meet up at the caffe tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Karra replied coolly.

"Sounds good. See you." Acclie hit end on her iPhone and tossed it on her plush couch.

Phase one of her manipulation plan was heading into action.
