Ch6 ......... I

Today, I'm meeting Lisa at the mall. I left my multi-billionaire lover in the late afternoon yesterday ...

Remembering our carnal games sends heatwaves across my body.

I would have liked to see him again today, but he wasn't free.

I know, he's a busy man, and I'll have to get used to it if this relationship is to continue. But it's hard; Once you've had a taste of Ryan, everything else seems so bland ...

Lisa:"Hey!"

I start like an idiot.

Lisa:"Are you mulling over expensive dresses?"

T:"No, no, I was quietly waiting for you!"

My friend is smiling again, which is nice to see.

Lisa:"I absolutely must find a silk blouse. Mine is getting old!"

Silk. Tie. Carter...

My brain's making funny associations.

T:"And for me, a pretty neglige."

I look at Lisa with a satisfied smile on my lips.

Lisa:"Oh, oh ... Who's the lucky guy?"

I don't know how to tell it to her clearly.

T:"A super sexy guy, that I met recently ..."

Lisa:"Yeah...?"

T:"Who owns an empire, a Limousine, a jet ..."

Lisa:"Holy shit!!"

I think I just made my girlfriend's brain bug.

Lisa:"You're kidding me, right?"

T:"No ... I promise you that what we did together, was no joke at all!"

Lisa:"Dammit Tayla !!"

She seems speechless for a few seconds.

Lisa:"You can't just spill it out like that, in the middle of the shopping mall!! You're gonna have to tell me all about it!"

(Be naught.)

T:"Where shall I start? At the office or in his loft apartment?"

This time she's gawking, I burst out laughing.

Lisa:"Hold on a second ... when did this happen?"

T:"After our night out ... I got a text message from him asking me to join him at his office."

Lisa:"You mean to say, he openly asked you over to his office for late night sex in an empty building?"

T:"Well ... it didn't seem so obvious at the time but ... yes."

Lisa:"..."

T:"Breathe Lisa, I wouldn't want you to faint because of me ..."

Lisa:"Ok, so while I was sitting through my training course on a Saturday morning, Madam here was enjoying herself with mister Intense!"

Lisa:"How unfair!"

T:"Sorry..."

I put on a sorry face.

Lisa:"Seriously ... I knew you had the hots for him, but I didn't think for one second that ..."

That I was that easy?

T:"What that I could be so easy. That your very good" girlfriend should have it away with her boss?"

My tone is aggressive. I feel like Lisa's judging me!

Lisa:"No, it's just that ... I didn't think you were ready to cross the line with him."

Lisa:"You're so ... cautious and thoughtful usually ..."

T:"Just say that I acted rashly ..."

T:"Pfft, I shouldn't have told you about it!"

I pretend to leave, annoyed.

Lisa:"Hey! Calm down! That's not what I said! What's wrong with you?"

Lisa grabs me by the arm. She looks sorry.

T:"What's wrong is that I just wanted to tell you about it, not be judged!"

She smiles at me tenderly.

Lisa:"Tayla ... Since when have I judged you ... I mean, I'd have a nerve?"

I suddenly feel stupid. Lisa has always been there for me, supporting me, and now I'm behaving like a spoilt bitch.

T:"Sorry ... it's just that ... I mean it was incredible, like ... really incredible ... but ..."

T:"But I don't know what now? ..."

Lisa:"You think for him it was just a one-night thing?"

T:"Well ... At the time ... That's what I thought ... Until he invited me over to his house and we spent the night and almost the whole of yesterday together."

Lisa:"What do you feel?"

(I don't know... )

T:"In fact, it's hard to say ... We had a very good time, but do I have feelings...?"

Lisa:"You're still in "I ask myself too many questions" mode."

T:"Nothing new under the sun !"

T:"I ... I want to see him again ... I miss his arms already ..."

Lisa:"Yeah ... you're hooked."

T:"Chances are, yes."

Lisa puts and arm around my shoulders inviting me to walk with her.

Lisa:"Let's start by finding a nice little cafe where we can chat. Our shopping spree can wait!"
