Love hurts

Love Hurts - Chapter 4

Alex hit the sack as soon as he got to his condo. But it  took a while before  he fell into a fitful  sleep.

------------ 

He woke up in the middle of the night. Breathing heavily. His sweat, cold and beady.  

The dream... it was horrible!  He was pointing a gun at Lyka. His face contorted in pure hatred as he cursed at Lyka  who stood naked in front of him. One hand cupping her breast , the other massaging her swollen  p***y. She was smiling at him derisively, taunting him, daring him  to shoot her.

He pulled the trigger just as he woke up.

The dream.!   It was something new to him , different from the ones that had been haunting him since childhood. The dream, the same  old dream about a boy  scared and alone in his room. The sound of  gun shot. Blood pooling on the kitchen floor.!

----------------

He tried to go back to sleep. But sleep wouldn’t come as his thought  drifted to the on-going in-fighting between and among the stakeholders of the Green Meadow Realty over control of the Board.  Her boss Stella  and her husband Howard is at the center of the controversy, Howard being the current  Chairman of The Board. 

------------------  

Before Alex could make his coffee, he got a call from Stella.

“Alex Darling, I trust that you have already started convincing these people to side with Howard. My husband needs to retain his position. Stella frantically told Alex on the phone.  

“Don’t worry, I am working on it”  Alex replied.

“Oh, and one more thing Alex , we must get hold of that property  in Baguio You know how badly my hubby needs it.  Its his only chance of  survival in the coming Board meeting.”

“I said,  I am working on it. I am getting ready now, I am flying to  Baguio   this morning.”  He snapped visibly irritated.  

The scheming b***h, the board meeting is still  months ahead and the old cunt has been bugging him no end” Alex said to himself.

Baguio City

Lyka woke up naked  in a hotel bed with a terrible hangover; surprised to find an equally naked  man  sleeping beside her.

“Oh   shiiiiiit”  She uttered  while sitting up as she gradually remembered  fragments of  what transpired yesterday, particularly last night.

She was really feeling down yesterday...physically, mentally and emotionally drained. Its been more than a month since  her time with Alex.

Like a fool, she was still hoping against hope ...anxiously waiting for Alex to call.  Feeling excited and jumpy every time her phone rings. She struggled to be  functional at the office but  could hardly focused  on her work.

She  refused to date persistent suitors. Especially with Don-her childhood friend and ex-fiancee--engaged to be married with--had she not met Alex.     

Earlier that day, Don called inviting her to  dinner to celebrate his birthday. Don had been pestering her to start over again with him  despite all the hurt she had caused him.   Her answer was non-committal, adding she  would call him later that day to confirm.  She really meant not to go out with Don.

But  Alex  called.

“Lyka..”  said the voice she has long been waiting for. How she loved the sound of his voice and the way she calls her name.  

“Yes?”   Her voice was unusually low that Alex could barely hear it.

“Just got here.  I am still at the airport.”

Long gap of silence.  Lyka waiting with bathed breath.

“I  love...... I   love to see you.”

“Why?” 

“just so” 

Lyka  turned off her phone.

 After a long while, teary eyed, she called Don.

Alex  called again but couldn’t reached Lyka anymore.  He looked pensive  as he headed to his hotel.  

----------------- 

Don was ecstatic  to be with Lyka again.  Having dinner with him. Just being with her.  He has long been in love with her.. even going back to high school. Their  parents  have been  friends   ever since they could remember.

They were engaged to be married. But Lyka backed out barely a month before the wedding. She  confessed  to be crazy in love with Alex.

“Just  a month after meeting and f*****g that prick.” Don said to himself

trying to shake off the bitter memory. Heraised his glass of red wine to offer a toast to Lyka.

“To the our good times” His voice wistful.

Lyka smiled  as they clinked their glasses.   She tried to put up a happy front for Don’s sake.

After dinner, they went dancing and drinking. Lots of  drinking.

They staggered into their hotel room.  Both stoned drunk.  Their clothes thrown all over the floor as  they stripped naked before  falling to bed with  Don atop her and struggling in vain to stick his limp c**k into  her.  Don kept pushing and pushing  into Lyka’s impatient  p***y.  Until she got tired and pushed Don off her, turned to her side and dozed off.           

--------------

Lyka  was jolted back to present as Don back-hugged her and  cupped her left breast while planting a kiss on her shoulder.     

“Hmmmmmmm lets do where we left off last night.  Im sorry, I was too drunk  to f**k you.    I just couldn’t seem to get a hard on. 

“But look, how ready I am now”  He bragged just as he quickly grabbed Lyka’s hand  and wrapped  it around his rigid manhood.

But just as quickly, Lyka pulled away and got off the bed.

“Not now, I got  to be home soon. Got a lunch date with my Dad.”  Lyka smiled teasingly as she fled to the bathroom.     

  “What the f**k”  Don  grumbled in frustration as he looked at his gradually softening  c**k.  

--------------- 

Inside the elevator , all the way down to ground floor, Don kept nagging Lyka about  his  frustrated f**k.  While Lyka kept smiling and promising a more sexy date next time.   Don  suddenly embraced her tight and kissed her hard on the lips just as the elevator touched ground and the door  opened. 

Standing in front of them is Alex. Briefcase in hand, He looked hard  at them. His  face devoid of any emotion.
