Aspen
DAY FORTY-TWO
Two weeks. It had been exactly two weeks since I last saw Killian. It was like he just disappeared off the face of the earth. Since the day that he drove away from that airport. He had not come home and that was the last time I had seen him.
For the first week, I was unbothered and went on with my life of going to visit my mother regularly and for the second week, I slowly began to worry. It was not normal. I was not supposed to care, but I just couldn't help it. It was not normal at all. He had not been in his house for two fucking weeks and what could be the reason?
Me. We fought and he left. I did not even know if he was alive. “When was the last time you heard from Killian?” I asked Brooke as he drove me to the hospital. Since the day I got attacked, the attacker had not come back and Brooke said she would not because Killian had tightened security and she was scared to get caught.
When I asked if they knew who the person was, he kept giving me this weird body language and refused to say anything. He knew something. Killian must have ordered him not to speak.
“This morning.” My heart skipped a beat. He was aice after all. So he was doing it on purpose to avoid me. For two weeks. I was not supposed to care as well, but I just couldn't help it.
I just couldn't push the thought of Killian out of my head. Things were so different with me. In many ways that even I could not understand. I hated him and at the same time, I was worried about him. About his oosdibme past. There were lots of loopholes about that man. A lot of things that I needed to figure out and one of them was why my heart always raced each time I thought of him.
“Do you know where he is?” Brooke nodded. “When is he coming home?”
“I don't know. But boss does not look like he has any plans of coming back.” My heart sank. I just couldn't help it. But I did not want to care. Killian could fucking go to hell.
We arrived at the hospital and I did not go straight to see my mother. I went to Luke’s office instead. We had been talking as well. “Aspen!!” He smiled on seeing me. “You are here.”
“Yes,” I replied, and then ran my tongue over my lower lip. I liked Luke, or maybe I felt that way. But I did not feel anything bear him. His touch was not electrifying, it did not leave me breathless. But yet, I'd not seen Killian for two weeks but I got wet each time I remembered what his touches and strokes felt like.
I felt nothing from Luke. “We should go for—” Luke had not finished speaking when I took the bold step and hugged him. I felt nothing. But if it were Killian, my whole body should be trembling out of need already.
Luke looked surprised by the sudden hug and when I broke off from the hug, I pressed my lips to his to see if there was anything. But still, there was no feeling. If there was, I would have fucked Luke to get Killian out of my mind and system, but the feeling was bland.
I took a sudden step back. “Aspen you..” Luke’s words trailed as he brought his hand to his lips where I kissed him.
“I'm sorry. I have to go.” I apologized and then stormed out of the office. Ignoring Luke as he called after me. I went straight to where Brooke was.
“Take me to where Killian is,” I instructed.
“I don't think boss will be happy if I–”
“Now!!” My voice turned cold as I got into the car.. Brooke did not argue further and went into the driver’s seat. He drove off and in about an hour, we got to where Killian was.
It was a house. Another huge luxurious house. It must have been another one of his houses.
I headed straight towards the door and when one of the guards attempted to stop me, Brooke stopped him. The guard allowed me to pass and I stormed into the house. It was very exquisite.
“Are you sure that you don't want to take it to the bedroom?” I heard a female voice and the next thing I saw was red. “I can take care of you. I will ask Gwen to join us, a threesome sounds nice.” The female giggled and I followed the directions of the voice and found myself in the sitting room.
Killian was there and a completely naked woman was seated right in front of him. Her hands all over him. My heart squeezed and it felt kike breath had been knocked out of me. Kilian heard my footsteps and then looked up at me. His eyes narrowed.
“And who is this new addition? Are we having a foursome?” So that was what he had been doing. For two weeks. Fucking around and having threesomes. He even took them to the fucking bedroom!! Killian and I had never had sex in the bathroom.
“Bastard.” I cursed at him, feeling nothing but anger coursing through my veins. I should never have come. I should have stayed on my own Killian was simply not fucking worth it. He was quick to go from fucking me to other women and all I felt in myself was disgust.
“Sorry for interrupting. Carry on.” I turned to leave. Killian seemed to have snapped out of whatever trance he was in as he called my name.
“Aspen.” I ignored him and went straight for the door. Killian would always be Killian. There was nothing to expect from him. “Aspen!” He called again, running after me.
