Chapter 22

22 - Assumptions

Anya's POV

"You're the one that Nola's been spending her personal time with. That is so cute. Are you guys together?" Cheryl smiled at me.

"Uh... shit. No, I didn't mean to say that..." I said.

"You didn't have to. I knew it the moment I asked if you knew her. And it's not just you but Nola, too." Cheryl laughed.

I didn't respond and she chuckled. "You don't really know anything, do you?"

"I know you a sex performer." I said as it slipped out of my mouth and I bit my tongue.

"Oh, really?" Cheryl grins. "Nola must've told you. Now, you know my secret and I know yours."

"Fuck... I ain't mean to say that either." I breathed out, "It really that obvious though?"

"Well. I just know how to read people. I also know how to keep secrets, so don't worry."

I didn't respond after that and Cheryl smiled.

"So, is Nola satisfying your needs in bed?"

My heart sped up as I chuckled slightly at her directness. "Yeah... of course. I'm lucky it's even happening, f'real. Why you ask?"

"Really?" Cheryl asked me, "You sure it's not just you going along with what she wants?"

I hesitated for a second as she hit the nail directly on the head and she grinned sweetly at me.

"How about the sex toys that I gave her? Did you guys enjoy any of them?" She then asked.

"I mean... yeah, but as I said... I ain't like it. The ones that she used... and the way she used 'em... it wasn't what I wanted. She just did it." I said.

"You know that sounds very nonconsensual, right?" Cheryl chuckled uneasily.

"Oh, nah... maybe it's the way I said it? I wanted to try it, it just didn't go the way I expected." I said, immediately defending Nola.

"There was just a bunch... like shit. I ain't even know how to use most of 'em things."

Cheryl stared at me intensely before letting out a breath. "Okay... I believe you. I know you wouldn't lie to me. Right?" She asked, casting a look onto me that made me want to squirm.

I agreed with her in response and she smiled.

"If you'd like, I could teach you." Cheryl offered, and I looked at her with a confused expression.

"What?" I questioned.

"If you had any questions, you could come to me. I'll teach you wrong from right and whatnot. Like a mentor." She offered respectfully.

I stared at her a while longer before scoffing out a laugh slightly. "Uh... I appreciate it and all but why you helping me?"

"Because I want to, and I'd like to. You should let me. How could I ignore a lost little puppy like you? Everyone deserves a healthy and happy sex life. It's essential." Cheryl smiled.

A lost puppy? Do I really come off that way?

"Besides, you must mean something to Nola if she's gone this far. It isn't common." She said and I felt special for a brief moment.

But the feeling disintegrated when I thought about Nola, and how she is towards me.

Cheryl handed me a card as she said, "This is my info. Call anytime and thanks for the coffee."

I stood up with her as she got up and thanked her, walking her out.

Nola's POV

I was with some friends when something caught my eye, I stopped walking as I saw Anya and Cheryl chatting at the entrance of Starbucks.

Are you fucking kidding me?

I grit my teeth as a friend said, "Nola? You good?"

I stared a little while longer, just to prove to myself that my eyes weren't deceiving me.

"Nola!" Someone else called and I tore my gaze away as I asked, "What is it?"

I then realized that the group of friends that I was with were about a foot ahead of me.

"You not coming?" I was asked and I quickly dismissed what I witnessed, catching up.

I then could see Cheryl exit the shop from the corner of my eye as I sneered.

What the fuck were they just doing together?

--

That night, Cheryl posted a announcement, claiming that she was recruiting a new sub.

I sneered at the post.

Is she talking about Anya?! What the fuck is going on? Has she been planning this since we met up? And did Anya already agree to it?

A vivid image of Cheryl with Anya flashed through my mind as I cringed.

I swear I'll never fucking touch her again.
