Chapter 20: Robert
Omniscient Narrative
Aries rolled to his side, his hand moving around the empty space, as if trying to find something, more so someone. But when he didn't feel anything or anyone there, he opened his eyes and saw the empty bed.
He was just woken up so his senses hadn't kicked in yet, but after a few seconds of waiting for his brain to stop fogging.
He remembered that the smaller man who he had been searching for, had slept in the other room and not with him.
And that left a bitter taste in his mouth and disappointment in his heart.
He had gotten the smaller man to stay over yet they stayed at different rooms. He was literally just a few steps away from the smaller man, yet he couldn't be with him.
Last night Aries had to fight himself from doing something he would regret later on in life.
He had to stop himself from walking into the other room and just strapping the smaller man to the bed.
Tying him up in a starfish position and keeping him all to himself.
Not letting the man out his sight forever.
The taller man had to force himself to sleep, he was itching to just go to the other room and cuddle with Kai, have Kai push his bum to his-Aries- groin while he rub his hands all over the body he had come to love and yearn to worship.
He could only imagine how good his skin would feel under HIS skin.
How close their body would be, he couldn't help but imagine Kai panting as he plead with him to either keep touching him or to let him go.
Shaking his head, the taller man got up from bed, he walked to his attacked bathroom, brushed his teeth and washed his face.
He got a dry towel and dried his face before throwing it on his bed and lazily walking out of his room.
He walked to the other room Kai was sleeping in and knocked on the door.
"Kai" he called out but no answer
He knocked twice but after still no answer, the taller man opened the door.
His brows furrowed in confusion as he looked at the empty room.
"Kai?" He called as he walked into the room, when he got no answer he walked to the attached bathroom and opened it.
He was met with an empty bathroom too.
He got out and looked at the room. Kai had laid the bed and arranged the pillows and blanket back into position, if one was to enter the room, they would assume no one slept there.
Aries walked out the room and to the kitchen to get water.
'I guess he left already' he thought
Aries looked walked his kitchen to get a cup when his eyes met with a sticky note on his fridge, making the taller man go back to the pink color paper stuck to his fridge.
I'm sorry I left without telling you, I had to get home before Vinnie arrived, but i had a nice day yesterday, thank you.
Kai<3.
Aries read the note and with an annoyed look, he crumbled the paper in his hand and throw it in the bin
"Vincent Gregg" he sighed out maliciously, his hand moving to his forehead to massage it.
"I am already sick of that white bastard and his cheating ass" Aries kissed his teeth in annoyance.
He couldn't understand how the man could have Kai and still cheat on him.
Kai was perfect in his eyes, Kai was everything a man would want.
So he didn't get why that man already had a perfect man at home, yet chose to go around sleeping with any or everyone.
And worse of all, someone who looked like the off brand version of Kai
'Nigga got the real version at home, get choose to sleep with knockoff brand' Aries thought as he stared at his kitchen slab.
Aries stared at it for a little longer, contemplating on what his next move was going to be,
After much thought he just decided on watching the smaller man, he walked to his room, he opened the door angrily and walked to the chair, he pulled it back and sat on it.
He watched the split screen, a smile spread on his face when he watched the blond man dance to the music he was playing as he cooked.
Aries had already known how the smaller man's playlist looked like, after watching him for just a week, Aries had learnt who and who the smaller man listened to and to his surprise, he had the same taste as the smaller man.
His eyes went to the man's ass as he swayed from left to right as he danced to the music playing.
"He's just perfect" Aries whispered as his eyes watched the smaller man's every move.
Aries could admit that he wouldn't mind spending hours watching Kai, he was like a hypnotic soul, drawing him in even when he was doing nothing.
It was like a magnetic pull.
And Aries didn't understand why, he had met many people, so many people and he could admit they were just as beautiful as the man on the screen.
But there was something about this man that couldn't just make him let go.
Aries had questioned if it was because he was older than him?, he was married and their love would be forbidden, was that why he wanted it? Because of the thrill? The taboo? Did he want Arie because he CANNOT have him?
Aries had questioned himself so many times, yet the questions were always left unanswered.
And that was why he needed to have the man on the screen, to answer those questions he had.
Aries watched the man's every movement, a dark look in his eyes.
Aries kept on watching Kai move around the house, from the kitchen to the living room, to his room and then back to the kitchen.
'Why don't they just get a maid' Aries thought to himself as he watched Kai practically do all the work.
'He's making him do everything, yet he's out there cheating?'
Aries was getting angry again just thinking about the older man who to his understanding had trapped the smaller man in his little web of lies.
He then heard the door bell which pulled him out of thoughts.
He watched as Kai's thick legs walked to the door, he was wearing shorts so Aries could see his quads and his toned calves, Kai then began wiping his wet hands on his apron as he proceeded to the large door.
"I'm coming" he yelled as the person on the other side of the door kept on ringing the door bell.
Kai approached the large door and opened the door, his eyes widened as a large grin spread across his face, staring at the unknown man.
Aries raised a brow as he switched from the in house camera to the out house camera.
Standing on the other side of the door was an unknown yet familiar looking man.
He had seen the man somewhere but he couldn't pin point on where he had seen the face from.
"Robert!!" Kai cheered as he rushed to hug the other man, his hands wrapping around the neck of the unknown man, while his face was buried between the man's chest.
