67

Hunter called me a few minutes after I sent the photos.

"Bear."I chirped excitedly picking up the call.

"Baby girl."He replied with that deep voice I loved so much.

"I miss you."I whined feeling like a baby left home by their parents.

"I miss you too doll, especially with all the photos you keep sending me. They make me miss you more."Hunter consoled.

"I can stop sending them."I teased.

"Don't you dare, they are my lifeline since I cant see you."He demanded.

"Okay I won't stop. Your day is almost over, how was it?"I asked realizing that it was about four pm for him since Ghana was three hours behind.

"Exhausting but successful. If I keep pushing myself forward like this I'll be back sooner than planned."Hunter answered.

"I like the idea of seeing you soon but not at the expense of you working yourself to death. Take care of because at the end of it all, you'll still come back to me."I replied.

"Yes ma'am, I hear you."Hunter chided making me smile.

"Anyway, how was your day?"He asked me.

I had much to tell him since I was so excited about what had happened at the school so I just started rambling about my day.

"It's was awesome I got to see my new class and..... "I trailed on talking his ear off. "Then Eugene gave me a ride home on his motorcycle but he dropped me off at the supermarket since I had to buy supper."I concluded after babbling off for a couple of minutes.

Hunter went silent on the other end of the call and were it not for his heavy breathing I would have thought he hang up.

"Baby you there?"I asked when he didn't say anything.

"Yeah so who's Eugene and why is he giving my girl a ride home from work?"Hunter growled out.

His tone made me cringe and I realized the mistake that I had made. Eugene giving me a ride of was not a secret but even I had to know that with how Hunter was I should have been more careful how I relayed that piece of information.

"Bear I just talked for five minutes about my day and you only heard the last two seconds."I lamented trying to guilt trip him away from the mistake I'd just made.

"Don't try to change the subject, I know you better than that. So who is Eugene and why were you riding on his motorcycle?"Hunter gritted out.

I sighed realizing that until we talked about it Hunter was not going to let it go.

"Eugene is the new martial arts teacher, we met during the interview and again today. He's actually nice and offered to give me a ride home so I said yes."I explained.

"Nice huh?"He mocked.

"That's all you got from what I said."I demanded feeling frustrated.

"Well excuse me if the sound of another man giving my woman a ride at the back of his motorcycle doesn't exactly sit well with me."Hunter yelled.

"I get boda rides all the time, why haven't you made a big deal about those?"I challenged.

"It's not the same and you know it."Hunter scoffed.

He was right, I did know that it was different but I didn't care for the fact that he was accusing me of something unspoken and taking my words out of context.

"I don't regret riding with Eugene, I'm just sorry I didn't have a tattoo of your name across my forehead."I retorted.

"Now your just being sarcastic."Hunter mocked.

"Because you're overreacting and being unrealistic. It was less than a twenty minute ride that was nothing more than a colleague being kind to me but you're blowing it all out of context because of jealousy."I yelled feeling frustrated.

"I'll admit that I'm jealous but it irks me off that you won't acknowledge that it wasn't right. You're dismissing my feelings about this."Hunter shouted back.

"I don't need this, I'm hungry and tired. I'll talk to you when we're both calm and can talk without yelling."I declared.

"Nala don't you dare hang up on...."Hunter demanded but I cut the call before he could finish.

I put my phone on silent and tossed it away face down because I knew he would keep trying to call me and I wouldn't be able to resist picking up. I sighed in defeat lying back on my bed when I realized that Hunter and I had just had our first major disagreement. It didn't feel good but I guess we had to reach there at some point.

Hunter was being possessive and I didn't appreciate the tone he was using on me. I wasn't blameless either but he didn't need to act as if what I had done was a capital crime.

I looked at my phone longingly knowing Hunter was calling and texting but I refused to give into the urge to pick up. We would just argue more and make things worse. I would give us a some time to calm down before we talked it out.

My food was getting cold and I'd worked really hard on it so I decided to eat and so all my much wouldn't go to waste. It was delicious and I gave myself a mental pat in the back for a job well done. I did the dishes after I was done, setting the leftovers away carefully to have the next day. A long hot shower to end the night was necessary and after spending quite some time in there I decided to call Hunter.

When I picked up my phone I had seven missed calls from him, nineteen messages and three missed video calls. He'd stopped trying to contact me about half an hour ago and I felt really bad but it was necessary. I settled myself comfortably on the bed after changing into my pajamas and video called him.

He took his time to pick up and I thought he was going to ignore me but he eventually did before the call cut off. He had a towel around his neck so I assumed he'd been taking a shower too. His eyes looked haunted and he had a solemn look on his face that sat wrong with me.

"Hi bear."I greeted sadly unable to get over the sad cloud circling our relationship.

"Baby girl."He breathed in a defeated tone.

He tossed the towel away and took a seat on his bed leaning on the headboard so I could see him better.

"I don't want to go to bed mad at each other especially when you're in another country so can we please sort this out."I begged him.

"I don't like being mad at you either so yes let's talk it out."Hunter agreed.

I smiled sadly at him waiting for him to speak but when he didn't I decided to go first.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you and dismissing your feelings. If I was in your place I probably would have reacted the same way if not worse. I just want you to know that I made it clear to Eugene that I'm in a relationship so he won't get the wrong idea. Hunter I wouldn't compromise what we have by entertaining another man. I respect and appreciate you too much for that."I expressed feeling remorseful.

Hunter looked at me and smiled easing the pain in my heart.

"You're my baby girl and yelling at you made me feel bad. You don't deserve to be spoken to like that no matter the situation and for that I am sorry. I also apologize for losing trust in you and letting my insecurities get the better of me. I trust you."Hunter replied.

"You have insecurities about us?"I asked Hunter surprised.

"I'm only human baby girl of course I do."Hunter answered looking sad.

I had always thought of Hunter as the confident alpha male I admired but hearing bum admit to having insecurities made me see the vulnerable side of him.

"Maybe we can talk about them soon and I'll try to alleviate them just like you do about my insecurities."I proposed.

"Sure I can do that. You and I are going on a date when I come back. I miss you."Hunter admitted making me smile.

"I miss you too and can't wait to see you."I echoed.

"Are we good now? I don't like it when we fight."Hunter asked.

"Yes we are."I affirmed with a confident smile.

Hunter and I had just gotten over our first major fight and it felt liberating. It would have gone wrong if neither of us had admitted our faults but we had talked it out like adults and fixed everything. That felt really great and I was glad that we were good now.

"Good, now lower the camera. I want to see what you're wearing."Hunter demanded in that sexy bedroom voice that always had me creaming my panties.

"Hunter?!"I scolded feeling embarrassed.

"Now baby girl, don't make me ask twice."He growled.

"Yes sir."I smirked giving in.

I lowered the camera and started undoing the buttons of the pajama shirt I was wearing slowly revealing my naked skin to him.

"Fuck yes."Hunter breathed and I could see him adjust himself on the bed.

The had that had been at the back of his head disappeared followed by the popping of a button.

I'd never had phone sex before but apparently Hunter was about to show me how it was really done.
