Soul Leveling

Solo Temptation

Pita spent every day of the two weeks with Shia doing 'friend' things. He seemed like he was over being angry with her. She didn't get him back in her bed but she did win back his trust and friendship easily enough and he still found himself staring at her body or finding ways to touch her and then recusing himself as though it was all innocent. She could tell he wanted to do it again but she was knew not to push this time. It was guaranteed to fail because now he was onto her.
It was now the day before he left. His mother and family really liked his new friend Pita and how kind and pretty and friendly she was. All of this went straight to Pita's head but she acted humble and would deflect when complimented by them. They were already fawning all over their next in-law.
"Hey it's your last night here. I'm not asking you to sleep with me...I swear, but I do wanna cook something for you. I already bought the ingredients and I don't wanna waste it. Just dinner and we can chat and then you can leave...I promise." Shia focused on her face and squinted. He looked at her suspiciously but she maintained a blank look on her face. "Alright, I don't want you waste your food. But we do have a deal." He finally responded.

Pita mismatched her underwear and threw on a jeans and sweater so that he couldn't accuse her of planning anything again. She blew out her scented candles and turned the lights all the way on. He wanted a friendly dinner so she was giving him what he asked for. She knew by now that with him it was always the long game.

Shia showed up with his usually cool, collected swag and smiled as he entered. He took a good look at her and then at the house and then seemed satisfied that she was abiding by the rules he set out. She took him to the dinner table and uncovered the food to reveal his favorite: lasagna, Parmesan chicken, garlic bread and a fresh salad. He always talked about his love for Italian food. He smiled and gave her a hug as he inhaled the mouthwatering food. As they sat and ate and talked about the food and how she prepared it, she couldn't help but think that this was the way it was supposed to be. This is what a happy couple looked like. She smiled and continued chatting and eating.
As they finished eating she was clearing the table and about to wash up and he was looking at her do everything. She stood washing her dishes and talking about an upcoming project for work when she felt his hands on her hips. He tuned her around and kissed her hard. He put her up on the counter and started taking off her clothes but then pulled away and started to leave. "What is wrong with you! You're leading me on and then shutting me down! You know how I feel about you so why would you do that?" For the first time something happened that Pita did not plan for and she didn't know what it meant. "You're just hot so it's hard for me to control myself...I'm sorry." Shia told her and he sighed. "I'm hot? That's all there is to it for you?" Pita asked. "Not this again. No it's not love Pita. I'm a man you're a woman. You're hot and I lost my cool for a second. Don't start that love and emotions shit up again. I swear of all the girls I've fucked you're the only one who behaves like this."

"Huh? Of all the girls?...what?"

Pita managed to get out. "Come on...you don't think you're the only girl I met on the internet and hooked up with right? It's just that most of them are back in England. I was nervous about letting you lead but I wanted to see what you would come up with, and honestly you did not disappoint! I meant it when I said you were the best I've ever had. So much effort...the presentation...the execution...incredible. But then you said you were in love and now I'm not sure if we can do this again. You ruined it." Shia's response had Pita completely lost and dazed. She had no idea what was happening at this point. "I...I don't understand...you said that..." "yeah I know what I said but I had to because I realized you thought I was gonna be your boyfriend. I kept trying to fuck but you were too busy trying to impress my family like if you were my girlfriend or something...I mean...there was an easier way to do all of this, you should've just been honest and then I could've told you that I knew what you were doing."

"You fucking...piece of shit. You....manipulated me into thinking..." Shia started laughing and opening the door. "You're just mad because I made you think that you were in charge when I was the one pulling your strings all along. Look at your house,how spotless, look at your body how cleaned and prepped for sex you are, your kitchen even everything I've ever told you I loved is there. I made you do everything I wanted and I didn't even have to tell you to. All I had to do what tell you what I liked and you made it happen. Maybe you're right, you would be a good wife. Not for me though. Anyway...I gotta go, I got a flight to catch. It was nice meeting you."
Shia turned to leave when Pita snatched his shirt "I was gonna have your fucking baby are you serious? Who is this person? I thought..."
"Whoa whoa whoa...my baby? Man...the pretty ones really are psychos. I don't want any kids Pita. My wife does but I don't even want them with her. Why would I want them from you? You're insane...get help and don't ever contact me."

Pita let go of his shirt and watched him leave her home and her life for good.
