Blindfolded [Complete]

Quarreled

I squirmed under his piercingly intense gaze, pulling the sheet a little higher over my waist. For some reason, at that moment I was feeling oddly exposed and vulnerable even though only a few hours prior my naked body was convulsing shamelessly under him in all possible contortions. Then how come I had the feeling of dread run up and down my spine as if knowing full well that today wasn't going to have the same pleasurable end as last night.

Clearing my throat nervously I stole a glance at Kong once again who had yet to look away from my face even for a split second since I woke up. Taking a deep breath, I decided it was probably time to rip the bandage off in one go.

"Listen Kong, about last night... it's not what you think. I remember our contract. Of course I do. I wasn't trying to break it or anything. I swear. I was just...it was just... the thing is....I...I..."

Where to even begin?

Kong simply kept looking at me while I tried sputtering out an explanation that made no sense even to me. Sitting back on his chair, fingers linked in front of him as he rested his chin on them as if deep in thought. Staring at me unwaveringly as if he was sizing me up in that scary businesslike way. His voice low and husky when he finally launched his interrogation.

"You have a brother."

As if stating a simple fact rather than a question, Kong broached the one subject I was clearly not too thrilled to dwell into. And although he was the central character in my story I don't think I have ever mentioned him to Kong before. Wonder how he even knew to talk about my brother?

"Yeah."

"The guy that day at your apartment when you were sick? The one with all the tattoos."

"Yeah, him. He is my brother."

"So he is going around town borrowing money and you are stuck paying the bills for him?"

I frowned at his words. Ok, now I definitely did not tell him that.

"How do you know that?"

"So it's true then? That is why you had to pause our contract? That is why you were in that seedy club last night? That is why you were going to let that asshole actually kiss you? What's his name? Zayn...something..."

"Wait, wait, wait! How the hell do you know all this?"

"That doesn't matter. Do you even know how much your brother has racked up over the years?"

"Of course I know exactly how much. Who do you think is paying back all those loans?"

"You are, but that's the whole freaking problem. Why the fuck are you going around paying someone else's loans?"

"He is not just someone else, he is my brother."

"A brother that has reduced you to go prostitute yourself around town?"

Prostitute?

My jaw dropped open in shock. After everything we had done together, everything we had done just last night, I can't believe he threw that back in my face. My nakedness feeling a lot more apparent now as I pulled the sheet a little more tightly around my waist. I don't know how I originally expected this conversation to go but I definitely didn't think I would wake up feeling annoyed and defensive about all my life choices.

"It's none of your business how I choose to make the money."

Weirdly it seemed like our interaction wasn't going as Kong expected either cause he rubbed a frustrated hand across his face before he sprung up to his feet and started walking back and forth in the room.
