She turns around adjusting her clothing. She says with a smirk “Well, you didn’t seem like a clean it up type of guy”. I said” Well there are more surprises from where that came from.” I’m still panting out of breath from our little activity. She tells me that was some of the best fun she’s had. I wanted to give her a big kiss, but I can’t get attached, my heart is elsewhere, and I don’t want to send mixed signals. She tells me to go have a seat and finish my drink while she finishes dinner. I think that is a fine idea. Man, I really needed that. I feel so much better. My wolf has disappeared for now, I satisfied his craving. But it’s only time before he shows his face again, but we will deal that when it happens. Arithena is beautiful and I love watching her cook. I could see myself pleased and happy with her, but honestly, she smells like prey to me. I can’t be with someone who I see as prey, it’ll never work. But that doesn’t mean we can’t be friends with benefits. I just hope she doesn’t want more. I guess I will save that conversation for another day. She calls me over to the island with bar chairs to eat dinner. I go and she places a wonderful looking plate of food in front of me. I thank her for cooking such a great meal. If I’m being honest, it’s nice to have a home cooked meal. I haven’t had one since moving. She brings up the other morning when we first met in the hall. She asks why I was out in the hall at that time of morning. I tell her I thought I heard something out in the hall. That the noise woke me up. She said as she got to the top of the stairs there was a lady with a red hooded coat on, come through the door to go down the stairs. Interesting I say. I ask if she got a look at her face and how she knew it was a woman. She said there was red hair poking out from under the hood and that it was obvious that the person had breast, plus she said “get out of my way”. Red hair? I don’t know anyone with red hair and why would she be out in the hallway with a hooded coat on? Something isn’t right with this. I need to do some investigating. I tell Arithena “Who knows, people are strange these days. I’m sure there is no need to worry.” I needed to reassure her that everything is ok, she started to seem concerned. She leans over and kisses me on the cheek and thanks me for coming over. Is she hinting at me leaving? Wow, I feel used hahaha. I didn’t see that coming. She gets up and takes my plate and glass to the sink. I get up and tell her thank you again for the fun time and great cooking. She follows me to the door and opens it for me. I step out in the hallway and she kisses me once again. Little to my knowledge, Diacana was just coming out of her apartment. She saw the whole exchange. f**k. Now I’ll have to explain to her that Arithena is just a friend and deal with that situation. My eyes meet Diacana’s and I can feel the curiosity. She waves at me and Arithena notices. “Who is that?” she asks. Damn two women two explanations. I tell her that her name is Diacana and she is one of my students at the university. “Oh, ok” she says. Shew, I managed to avoid that whole conversation. Thankfully the simple explanation worked. Diacana goes back into her apartment. I wonder where she was going or where she was coming from. Arithena closes her door as I walk down the hall towards Diacana’s apartment. I get down to her apartment and I hear a males voice in there. Who in the f**k is in there? I don’t recognize the voice. Should I knock and interrupt. I think I should. I knock and I can hear through the door, Diacana shooshing the man in her apartment. Why in the f**k is she shooshing him? Is she trying to hide him from me? I try to use my sense of smell but all I can smell is Diacana’s scent. She comes and opens the door and asks what I’m doing. I asked her what she is doing. She said I asked you first. GRR this woman can be infuriating. I tell her I was just coming to make sure she didn’t need anything from the store as I was getting ready to go. She says yeah, sure the store. Then she snarls at me. Is she jealous that I was visiting with Arithena? I ask if she had company as she was standing with the door barely open. She says no, pretty harshly. I f*****g know a lie when I smell one and I obviously heard someone in there. I want to burst right thru the damn door and find out who the f**k she has in there. She says she doesn’t need anything from the store and that she needs to get back to studying. Right studying my ass. I just turn around and walk away. I hear the door slam towards my back. I am so tempted to stand there and listen, but what if someone saw me. I would be labeled as a creep or worse they would call the police on me. What the f**k am I going to do now? I will find out who she has in there. And I will take care of that problem. Because that what he is, a giant f*****g problem.
