DISAPPOINTED

When Leo turned around in his bed, he heard his phone ring, so he picked it up with Sean's hand on his waist. "What is it?" He asked, still sleepy. "Sir, Mr Storm is back," his secretary said, and he jumped out of the bed, rubbing his eyes with his hands to make sure he wasn't dreaming. "When did he return?" He inquired. "Three days ago, Sir," he said. "And you didn't even bother to tell me, What's wrong with you?' In annoyance, Leo said. "I'm sorry, Sir," the secretary said. "You should've told me what you hired me for," Leo grumbled. "I'm sorry, Sir," he still apologized. Leo hung up the phone, threw it on the bed, and climbed out of his bed. "Where do you think you're going?" Sean inquired as he removed his blanket from his body as well. "To see, Storm. Of course,' Leo replied. "Are you supposed to see him now?" Sean asked, standing in his underwear and folding his arms across his chest. "What do you mean, he came back, so I have to find out what happened and what they discussed that caused Father to summon him and those shareholders," Leo explained as he began picking up his clothes from the floor and putting them on. "You and I both know that's not why you're going there," Sean said, staring at Leo. "Storm, isn't the only one who went there. If you really wanted to know, you would have called someone else to find out what happened.' He said this as he stepped forward and stood in front of Leo. Leo was already aware of this. Sean was correct, he knew. He didn't want to go there just for that reason. "Sean, I understand what you're saying. But I really need to go see what's going on,' he said as he continued to dress, and he held his hand as he was about to button his sleeve. "You've got to stay away from him,' Sean said, his gaze fixed on him. "You act as if you're my lover, Sean.' Leo laughed as he attempted to make a joke. "I'm not your love, Leo, and you're well aware of that. I'm just helping you because you asked me to, and you need to stop this Leo. And, stop hurting yourself; it won't help you,' Sean said solemnly. He took his hand away and went into the bathroom to freshen up. He continues to perplex him, what Leo sees in Storm, he still doesn't understand. Storm was arrogant and rude, and he was often too full of himself, which Sean despises. Storm, on the other hand, was still his friend, and he could never fall in love with someone like that, and it's the last thing he'll ever do in his life. He prefers to sleep with him than be his lover. He'd been comforting Leo for days, making sure he was all right. He was always mentioning Storm's name, and sometimes he forced himself to say Sean's name, whenever they had sex. He felt like a sex object rather than a fuck buddy, but what's the difference? He agreed to it, so he should put up with it. They both accomplished a great deal. Like, going to different expensive hotels every day, fulfilling Leo's fantasy, and he knows he wanted him to be like Storm, but he kept quiet and endured it. Storm couldn't see he was hurting Leo, so how could he do this? Well, why should he bother, and besides, the jerk should have been screwing someone else by now, and Leo is worried about him and wants to see him. With the shower still running. Sean heated it in order to properly warm his body and wash it. He was completely exhausted. *** Sean was correct; he needed to avoid him or he would be hurt and regret it later. It's difficult to forget Storm, even though it's been years. He shouldn't go; instead, he should call someone and find out. If he needs to move on, avoiding Storm is the first step, followed by avoiding intimate contact with him is the second step. *** Lily stayed in her house for a few days without hearing from Leo. She was so depressed that she drank a lot of beer. She had loved Leo for years and wondered what she had ever done wrong. Where has she ever gone wrong with Leo? Could it be that Leo does not love her and has been lying to her all these years? If he was in love with someone else, who could it be? Lily will never let this slide; she has devoted her entire life to this man, and he has the audacity to say he is not ready for marriage, and he hardly ever says *I love you* to her. Who was this lady he was madly in love with? When she asked him that question, a few days ago. He didn't answer her and instead walked away. Is it possible that he is with that woman right now, and most likely in her home? She called Leo several times in the last few days, but his phone always went to voicemail. She even tried his private number, but he didn't pick up. Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and she stood up, trying not to stagger, and went straight to open the door without asking who was there, as soon as she did and saw who it was. She was disappointed because she thought Leo had returned, so she left the door open and went inside her house, where she had previously sat. "You seem disappointed to see me." Rose said as she walked into the house and shut the door. "I'm not dissappointed. She lied, saying, 'I thought it was Storm or Leo.' "Don't lie to me, you don't have any business with Storm, and instead you were expecting Leo to show up on your doorstep," Rose said as she sat beside her miserable friend and took a bottle of beer for herself as well. "You called me, so tell me what it is," Rose said as she slid the bottle off open with her teeth. "I don't know," Lily said, not knowing where to begin. Hot tears streamed down her cheeks, her eyes were puffy from crying so much these few days. "Did he hurt you?" Rose inquired, placing her hand on her friend's shoulder. "No, he didn't hurt me,' Lily replied. "So, what happened, and what did he do?' Rose inquired. "I don't think Leo loves me,' Lily said as she wiped her tears away. "How, and why did you say that?' Rose was still curious. "He's been acting strangely,' as soon as Lily said that. Rose rolled her eyes and said, "You always say that, it's nothing new, and is that why you're crying now?' "I agree; I always tell you that.' Lily said this as she turned to face Rose. "I kept having these strange feelings that I'm not supposed to have, and I kept telling myself that he loves me and that it's just the way he acts. But...but…' "What strange feelings,' Rose inquired, turning to face her. "It's almost as if he's hiding, something big from me, He won't let me touch his phone or answer his calls, and I see him smile at something on his phone and lick his lips occasionally,' Rose burst out laughing when she heard what Lily had just said. "It's not amusing, Rose." Lily didn't like how she didn't take her seriously. "OK, I'm sorry for laughing, but can we continue?" Rose encouraged her to keep going. "And he masturbates as well." Lily made a remark. "Whaaat!" "Yes, Rose. He does it a lot, especially at night, and one day I heard him moaning and calling someone else's name in the bathroom,' Lily said as she lowered her head. "This is a serious, Lily. Could he be cheating on you?' "That is the question I keep asking myself, but whenever I tried to track him down or follow him. To be aware of what is going on. He's always at Storm's office or his house with him, which makes me happy because he's not going to a lady's house. But, I found his phone one day, and it hasn't been turned off yet. So I use it quickly so it doesn't turn off and lock itself, and I don't know his password?' Lily expanded on that. "Whaat! 'You don't know your boyfriend's password, and you've been dating for three to four years, and you're just telling me now,' Rose nearly yelled at Lily. "I just thought one day..." Rose interrupted. "One day," Rose scoffed. "Lily, you just said one day. Guess what, Lily, that one day turned into nearly four years. This is insane. Why will you let this thing stay that long, Lily?' "I wanted to give him time,' Lily explained. "What a fucking waste of time. Even my boyfriend can't treat me that way and fucking tell me he doesn't want me to know his password and expect me to be gentle with him. Either we break up or he tells me. You were too patient with him, that's why he was being reluctant with you, because you were so easy and you hid it from me, and you were always telling me that everything was fine with you and your fucking boyfriend. Lily, I'm very disappointed in you. You let him take advantage of you and use you the way he fucking wants?' Rose yelled angrily, gulping down a bottle of beer and tossing it down.
