11. The way forwad

I didn't notice that my mouth was wide open until Jess pointed it out, I looked in the rearview mirror and saw the corners of Walter's mouth give a small menacing smile, his whole face looked amused by my reaction as I read his text:

"Ms. Thandie Lohan, let's forget the drinks, how about you just let me whisper more sweet things to you while I have you pinned against the wall, while you breathe heavily on my neck..."

He painted the picture so clearly that I felt overwhelmed by the desire to have him take me on the car, I felt a throb in between my legs, 'what was this man doing to me?' I immediately forgot all about Sipho and his cold attitude toward me. While I was busy trying to take control of my emotions, Walter sent another text and I was not ready for it, although I suspected it would come...

"I am just kidding Ms. Thandie Lohan, I just like to see that look on your face, it is quite cute...and look at that, you are not gloomy anymore....", 

I looked at the mirror again to see a bubbly Walter, he gave me a very innocent smile with his eyes squinting a bit. 'What is wrong with this man? Is he perhaps bipolar or suffering from multiple personality disorder??' I was freaking out still trying to come down from the high from his previous text. It took me a good 15 minutes and 2 bottles of ice-cold water to bring me down and I finally texted back:

"Mr. Sekulu, kindly refrain from using such speech with me in the future or I will have to report you to HR for sexual harassment", I said with as much determination as I could gather

"My apologies Ms. Thandie Lohan, I will stop teasing you as long as you promise that you will not make that gloomy face I saw you making earlier"., he replied. I left him on read.

The day went by so quickly, we managed to reach an agreement earlier than anticipated. We had an extra free day to just relax and unwind, but I chose to come back with my manager. The sooner I see Sipho, the sooner we can resolve our problems. I called him immediately when I landed and it went straight to voicemail but he returned my call after an hour. I invited him over, unlike before, this time he didn't seem too eager to see me and sat on the other side of the couch. I offered him something to drink, but he requested a glass of water instead. A part of me knew what was happening, but I wanted to hear him say it...so...I started the conversation...

"Sipho, I see that you have been ignoring me on purpose and right now you don't look that happy to see me. Sipho, I won't apologize for going on that business trip, because if it were you, you would have done the same thing, actually scratch that, you have done the same previously. I am disappointed because I expected the same support I give you", I gave him the chance to speak while anticipating his response with a glass of orange juice in my hand. He sipped on the water and gently put the glass on the coffee table separating us and said,

"You kicked me out of your place, and you expect me to be excited to hear from you as if nothing happened?"

I completely forgot about that part, 'was that why he was giving me the cold shoulder?' I thought to myself, but I had to know and so I diverted the question to him,

He enthusiastically denied, "Ofcourse not! I have just been so busy at work that I did not have the chance to respond..."

There it is! I now had him...I have always been cursed with men who put their work and other businesses first but flip out when I do the same. I took a deep breath, I had to be careful with my words, "So, it is okay for you to put your job first but if I do the same, it's a problem?"

"It's not the same...you went outside the city?", I could feel his anger build up,

"But I would've still made time for you...you know what makes me sad, is that you know that-", I sighed when I realized that we were just going around in circles and pointing fingers, I looked at him with a defeated look, "You know what let's stop talking about this because we are just going around in circles, what is the way forward, do we continue or we stop this relationship?"

He shocked me by insisting that we continue. I didn't mind this, but it came with conditions that we respect each other's jobs and find a better way to communicate. We decided to seal our agreement with a kiss and a night of adult fun.

Sipho was good in bed, he knew how to stroke right and he let me take control when I needed to which I gladly took advantage of tonight. After the past few days with Walter toying with my desire, I had so much tension built up, that I had to let it all out. The more I thought about Walter the more aggressive and wild I became, it showed by how I rolled to the top and decided to please myself because Sipho was not hitting it right. I found myself thrusting and grinding against him without paying any attention to him stopping me because he was about to burst, but I couldn't stop. The more he tried to stop me, the wilder I became until I felt all the tension being directed to my clitoris and I suddenly felt the urge to moan as loud as I could, with the moaning, I could feel all that tension leaving my body, and suddenly I felt a huge sense of relief with a touch happiness and exhaustion. I got off the poor man who couldn't stop looking at me with satisfaction beaming all over his face,

"Damn woman, we should fight more often".

If only he knew where my mind was at...
