I sigh when I woke up and realize that Arthur is sleeping beside me. It makes me so guilty that I know he’s married but still be tempted. I just can’t resist him and it scares me but at the same time I like it because finally he’s with me.

I pick up my clothes and left Arthur sleeping, just like what we always do. Yeah, no commitment just accidental fuck and it happen again and again.

I went to work feeling preoccupied and hoping that Arthur wouldn’t bother me at work, I don’t want to create drama in my workplace and although I’m far from that the moment that I slept with Arthur, I still want to create a comfortable space to work, I have my goals and I want to make my parents proud.

“Hey!” My eyebrow creased when a unfamiliar face approach me, he laugh when he notice my reaction. “I’m Arthur’s friend, Nathan.” He extend his arms, and I shake it.

“I didn’t know he has friends.” I said.

“That’s harsh.” He laugh, and I chuckle.

Nathan is the opposite of Arthur, he’s funny, approachable and he’s light, you can talk to him, and he’s transparent.

“You left again.” I jump when Arthur approach us looking angry.

I bit my lip before facing him. “Isn’t that what we are suppose to do? You always do that and I can’t?” I raised my brows. This is what I want but I’m angry too because how can be this fucking possessive and has a wife? I can’t believe I’m saying this but I kind of like it.

He can’t answer now and Nathan in the corner observing us, and even chuckling that made Arthur look at him angrily. Nathan isn’t affected by any of it though.

“Emily right?” Nathan asked.

”Yeah, why?” I smiled that made Arthur grunt.

”I’m having my birthday party next week, and you’re invited.” Wow, that’s smooth. “And you’re not allow to say no.”

I smile. “I’ll come. Can I bring my friends though?”

“Sure! The more the merrier.” He smirk at Arthur first before leaving.

“He’s sweet.” I smirk and look at Arthur.

“Don’t say that in front of me.” He said and walk out. I smirk and can’t help but chuckle after he left. That just made my day.

After work I went home and saw that my parents are still not home. I went to check dad’s office earlier but he wasn’t there so I’m assuming that mom and dad has plans.

I smile. I love how dad treat mom, that has been what I wanted all my childhood and I don’t know how I ended up like this but we can’t force ourselves who to love, it just happen without us realizing.

I’m not saying I love Arthur but I like him and I thought he’ll be the man of my life, but as they say “You can’t fall in love with a man you met in the bar.” I shook my head went to my room to take a bath.

After taking a bath I received a text from Jessie, she wants us to come to her house, I’m guessing she or they want to know the details about me meeting a man in a bar, this is what we do after all, but I hate the fact that he’s a married man and I’m feeling embarrass to say that information to them.  

I choose my clothes, this is the hardest part of my daily life, I want to wear short dresses, but Mom and Dad are a bit conservative plus they know me for being conservative too. What can I say, I grew up?

I just wore a crop top and a rip jean that matches my long legs, I’m just heading to Jessie’s anyway. I get in at my red sports car and went my way to Jessie’s house, there house isn’t far from us so it only took me a minute or two to arrive.

“Hey,” We kissed each other’s cheeks and went to her Veranda, I can see Amy is already here and is waiting for us in the patio.

There’s already drink in the table and other types of food. I can’t believe they still want to drink, I have hangover and we’re drinking again? I can’t with them. We sat in the patio facing the swimming pool. It’s only us, like always Jessie’s parents are busy to come home, my parents are busy too, but they always find time to eat together and to hang out and I love them for that.

“So, tell us what happen!” Amy said, she seems exited. I laugh at her.

“Well, I got what I wanted that night.” They both scream as I said that. I can’t stop laughing at their reaction.

“Details Please!” Jessie giggled.

“He was so hot, at first he was not interested but you know me, I don’t give up that easily plus he’s really hot and mysterious.”

“Keep going.” Amy said and eating like this is a show. I laugh at her, this is very unlike Amy, she’s more reserve unlike Jessie and me. She also doesn’t like to hear our sex stories but today is different, is it because the man was hot? I wonder.

“I don’t know what change his mind, but he started kissing me and the next thing I know we’re out of the bar, I was so drunk to his kisses that I didn’t even realize that we went to a hotel.”

“Wow.”

“Well, you know what happen next.”

“Of course, we do but is he good? Is he big? Tell us!”

“First of all, yes, he’s good and big. He’s rough though, not that I’m complaining. But I woke up alone in bed, which is kind of disappointing.”

“Well, that’s how hook up works, you know that this is not your first time.” Jessie said.

“Yeah, I know. Mysterious guys really interest me. I like the thrill, it makes me want to know him more. I don’t even know his name when I met him which is kind of weird.

“What you have sex with him without knowing his name? What if he was a criminal?” Amy’s freaking out now.

“He doesn’t look like one!” Jessie’s trying to convince her, while I zone out thinking about him.

I laugh. “But I know him now, we met again. His name is Arthur and he works at our company.”

Amy has a point though, I was so preoccupied with his hot body and kisses that it doesn’t matter at that moment. “Oh my gosh! What if Amy is right? What if he’s a criminal?” That’s what I said to myself after that night but I know him now, I’m just not telling them yet because my mind is still wandering around with no plan.

We didn’t stay for long because my mom keeps calling me to go home. As usual she wants us to eat dinner together, I didn’t expect to have dinner with them, I though they have plans but I guess they miss me already. While driving home I kept thinking about Arthur and our set up. I know he’s married but still I want him and I can see that he wants me now. I hate that I keep eating my words.

“Mom! Dad!” I hugged my parents as soon as I saw them. They’re waiting for me in the dinning table. My mom immediately eyed my clothes but didn’t say anything about it. It’s not that reveling after all, and I guess mom is trying not to comment on the clothes I wear and because I always say I’m old enough to wear this kind of cloth and it’s the trend.

While eating they keep asking me about my what are my plans for the future, and things that I want to achieve. They also asked about my friends, and our whatnot.

There isn’t much that I want to achieve though, I just want to learn how to run the company and run it, that’s what they want, and I like the idea too. I want to travel, do adventurous things and for the future I just want to get married and have kids, very simple.

After having dinner, I start to pack my things, I have a condo that I bought myself. I want to have my own place now that I’m already an adult. Dad and Mom keeps convincing me to stay here but I already made up my mind.

I want to be independent and because I don’t want to come home drunk where they’ll caught me which will be the most scenario if I keep staying there.

“Do you really have to move out? Your dad and I will me miss you and so does our house.”

“Mom, I’m already 23 years old and I’m still living under your roofs. I have to learn how to take care of myself and I won’t be able to do that when I’m here.”

“That’s true but the house just feels so empty without you here.” I hugged my mom tight.

I’ll miss them too but it’s not like I won’t see them anymore. Once I start training at our company, I’ll be able to see them. They’re not always at the building but if they are we can eat together and hang `out if we have time. Also, my condo is not that far from the company so it’s very convenient for me.

“Thank you.”

Our maids are with me, helping me clean my condo and to help me arrange it. I know I said that I want to do things on my own but now is not that time. I must set up the condo so I came with them, I can’t move furniture on my own I’ll definitely need help.

Now that I’m here together with the maids, I realize that my condo is big. Not like our mansion but bigger than my room. I’m amaze, when I bought this, I don’t have time to look at it even though I should have. Amy helps me find condo and she and I have the same taste, so I trusted her decisions.

The sun was almost down when we finished—mostly they did the work and I’m guilty for that. I offered them dinner, but they declined they said they already have dinner waiting for them in the mansion. Good for them, because right now I don’t have food in here.

I decided to eat dinner at the restaurant near the condo. I just walk because it was near. While eating I saw a familiar face. I was so shocked that I stop functioning for a moment. It’s Arthur and Nathan.

I wanted to go to him, he’s not far from my table but he’s also not that near. He’s had company though, I don’t want to just show up like we know each other, I think it rude because he’s with someone--Nathan.

I gulp when I heard Nathan asking about what is Arthur planning about his wife and to me. It breaks my heart that he didn’t answer because deep down in me I want to hear it even though it might break up. I suddenly want to show up for them to see me and maybe talk to Arthur but I stop because I’m a coward.

When they left, I also left. I couldn’t talk to him but I’m very satisfied that I saw him. I hope I’ll see him often, and maybe our step up with me clear too.

I finish my day with admiring my condo, a place of my own and of course think of him again, it became a hobby, I think? I’m badly smitten, I don’t even know him that much but what I know is he’ll be mine even if that means stealing him from another woman.
