Vanessa's POV

"I don't know, I just don't go out much. It's all about business managing and planning." I dropped the tea cup on the island and poured myself some coffee

I was talking to Bryan on phone. He called few minutes after Becca left me alone in my lonely house. No man, no companion. I can't lie, Bryan is a good company. I got to find out that he's an engineer and a contractor too. It's beautiful. He's 25 and single. Didn't ask if he's ready to mingle but I guess we'll find out soon.

We just flowed with the conversation, laughing and gisting about random things. Not until I heard my door bang and I dropped the call immediately and jumped to my feet.

"Who's there?!" I said firmly

"Learn how to lock your door" The voice I've been dreading to hear said.

Can't he just let me be?

"What are you doing at my house after fucking another girl few minutes ago in a public toilet made for everyone to use" I blocked him from sitting on my couch

"Listen. I told you that I don't do one girl shit and so I don't know what you were expecting" He said calmly

"Who gives a shit about that? We're nothing so why should I care about who you follow or not? I just don't appreciate you barging into my territory whenever you like, like you own the place and pay the bills for me" I frowned

"Is the bills your problem?" He sighed

"You! You are my problem, Blackwood. I do not want you in my space again. Go get a life, man!" I yelled

"Let's talk like adults, Nessa" He rolled his eyes

"There's nothing to talk about. Just be available for the final meeting this week and I'll try my possible best to make your launching event a blast and we part ways. For good. I pray you also forget my house address cos you won't be the reason I'll move out of this country. You're not worth it" I smiled sweetly

"I like you when you're cold." He moved me out of his way and sat on the couch.

"Stand up right now!" I yelled

"I wasn't like this before..." He started

"I really don't care about your past life. You owe me no bloody explanation. Just be better for yourself but just get the fuck outta my humble abode." I cut him off immediately not wanting to be soft.

"I used to love. I had a girlfriend too and I used to think I'll get married to her" He laughed. "Attachment will fuck you up"

I stared at his miserable state and couldn't help but feel bad for him. I suppressed my rage and sat down beside him.

I don't even have the strength for much drama. I'm really not a chaotic person

"You've got 30 mins to round up your shitty story" I said sternly and he nodded.

"Everything was perfect, I swear. Until she ran away with a mother fucker I used to call my homie and fucked me up completely. That's why I'd always think, love is useless and just a means to make you vulnerable." He concluded and shut his eyes

What do I say now? It wasn't a very touching story. It's something that happens.

"Uhh... You could sleep on the couch for the night. I pray you find peace somewhere or in someone" I sighed and stood up to leave

"I'm sorry about last time" He held my hand and I stopped

"I'm glad you ran away. It saved me from doing something stupid. So, thank you" I smiled at him

"Bullshit" he pulled me to himself and i collapsed on his body

"I don't want to do this anymore. It's not healthy. You're not my person. Heck, you dont even know what you want! I just... I just want a normal life with normal relationship and all. I am a one man to one girl type of person and you're danger and mama warned me about dangerous people like you. I can't lie, you're tempting but I'll have to resist. So please" I begged

"Maybe I can work out something. I can try?"

"Try what exactly? What do I do when you find out that you've been wasting your time? I can't do this with you. You'll find your type" I stood up from his body and made my way to the kitchen to put off the light

"Is it about that new guy you met today?!" Richard yelled and I just shake my head. Clearly, I am not ready for any drama.

"Goodnight Richard" I started making my way to my room

"Please! Let's start over. We were going smoothly as friends!" He yelled but I didn't stop. I entered inside my room and shut the door. I rest my back on my door and slide down into a sitting position.

What is happening?

"Nessa!" He banged my room door and I just covered my ears to block out the noise

"Just go!" I yelled

"No! Let me in please. No funny business." He begged and i sighed and stood up

"No funny business" I said firmly and opened the door for him and he hugged me immediately he set his eyes on me

"Thank you. You're the best" He pecked my forehead and I literally melted but I had to act tough

"No funny business" I said to him but it felt like I was telling myself more because this man is a full snack

"I'll go take a shower and we'll sleep." He said while removing his clothes and I nodded before going to check my laptop for any new mail or anything before shutting it down and going to lay down on the bed

Few minutes later, he was done bathing and got under the duvet with me, with his chest pressed to my back. Spooning position

"It's weird to not try any funny business" he whispered in my ears and I smiled at his words even though he can't see my face.

"This is the first step. Besides, you had a good fuck today so you shouldn't be trying any funny business" I said and he stiffened

"I'm sorry you had to see me or hear me fuck that girl. While I was doing it, I was imagining her to be you. I really want to know how you feel. How loud you moan. If you're a squirter or creamer...."

"Shut up, blackwood" I said, embarrassed. "I guess you won't find out" I teased

"Are you sure?" He kissed my neck and I turned to face him. I moved his hair from his face and I didn't lie when I called him a god before.

"Only one goodnight kiss and it's because of the proximity between us and also so you don't die in your sleep from horniness" I laughed and he pinched my ass which caused me to yell and slap him playfully

"Shut up and kiss me" He leaned in and pressed his lips on mine softly and our lips moved in sync.

"Goodnight Richard" I smiled sheepishly while he wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me closer whispering "goodnight" too

What's happening to me? Why does this feel right!

Help!
