Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen
Brad chuckles. “You know I love you. Trust me I do, but if it was me, I would want mystery man to be there and I would want to go see if I could find him.”

I want to go so bad; I really do. I want to see what this attraction I have to Mateo is. I need to see if I can figure out why I feel like I have seen him before. It had to have been from my college days or something, I don’t know and it is driving me insane. I just feel bad, because I don’t know what me and Brad are. 

Are we just messing around because we are lonely? Are we in a relationship now? Well, I don’t guess we are in a relationship, otherwise he wouldn’t be trying to force me to find my mystery man. My mystery man that he doesn’t know, I know the name of. I don’t know why I haven’t told him Mateo’s name. I just feel like it will make it to real if he knows his name. Then he will really have a reason to think I want to see him again.

Which I do. I sigh. “Okay, I admit. I would like to see him again. There was just something about him. I don’t know. I just feel bad, you know I don’t want you to think you aren’t enough. I-.” I ramble and Brad cuts me off.

“Baby, calm down. This thing between us, our relationship is special. I wouldn’t change it for anything, but me and you both know if things were different, we wouldn’t be together. Not because you aren’t attractive or perfect in every way, but because well as you know I usually tend to swing the other way.” Brad winks at me, and I laugh softly. 

“Yeah, I know.” I say laughing.

Brad and I had that conversation many months ago, we were bored and drinking a little. He admitted to me that he is more attracted to men than women, but he also said he has been with some women he found attractive. Brad called it bi-sexual, with a lean towards men. I am actually surprised it took us this long to end up together sexually, because there have been a lot of long nights between the two of us. Long nights with nothing but cuddling and holding each other close. 

Brad cups my cheek, rubbing it gently with his thumb. “Seriously though baby. If you want to go out and have a drink, you can go without me. It won’t hurt my feelings or upset me in any way. You can dance, drink, talk to people, or anything else you want to do. I will be here waiting for you when you get home baby.”

I lean into his touch. “Why are you so amazing?” I whisper. 

Brad shrugs, giving me a cheeky grin. “I was born this way baby.”

I laugh, rolling my eyes. “Are you sure you don’t want to go out with me? It really isn’t going to be the same without you?”

Brad gives me a quick peck on the lips. “Yes baby, go have fun. I’m just going to relax and maybe watch a movie or something. If you need me, just call me. Do you want me to drive you?”

I light up with excitement. “Yes, please. I don’t want to be alone in a taxi with some weirdo.”

Brad laughs. “Okay baby. You get ready, and I will drop you off at the club and then I will come get your sexy ass when you are ready to come home.”

I kiss Brad on the cheek and head to my closet. I need to find something to wear something sexy, but not trashy. I don't want to look like I am looking for a hookup or something. I really just want to drink a little, dance and if I happen to see Mateo, that's great. If not that's okay too. I will still have a good time either way. 

I pull out a blue jean skirt, and a pink sparkly tank top that shows just the right amount of cleavage. This will work. I get dressed real quick checking myself out in the mirror. Yep this look good.

I pull out a pair of boots, I don't want to wear heels tonight, in case I have to get out of there in a hurry. I may feel safe, but I can't let my guard down, not completely anyway. I don't know if my husband will ever give up looking for me and Brad. So I will always have to be a little careful, no matter how safe I feel. 

I put a little makeup on. A tiny bit of lipstick, mascara and some eyeliner. I look at myself in the mirror again and take a deep breath. If feel so good to dress up again. I used to dress up and go have fun all the time. I will have to get used to seeing myself like this again. 

I step into our living room and Brad looks me up and down really slowly. "You look sexy baby. Maybe a little to sexy. I am going to have to keep you here with me." He says, winking and giving me a teasing smile. 

"Or, you can get your sexy ass dressed up and come with me." I say giving him a flirty smile. 

He laughs. "Not happening. Are you ready to go baby?"

I pout and sigh. "Yeah, I guess so."

Brad links arms with me and we make our way down to the car. He opens the passenger side door for me and I get in. Brad gets in the driver's seat and we head to the club. He puts his hand on my thigh, and I put my hand over his. 

The drive is quiet but peaceful, we have gotten to a place in our relationship where we don't have to talk to fill the silence. We can just enjoy being quiet together. About a minute away from the club, Brad squeezes my thigh and I look over at him. 

"Be careful baby, don't let your guard down, keep your phone close and don't take drinks from anyone." 

I smile. "I know. Don't worry I will be careful. Thank you for bringing me. I'll text you when I'm ready to be picked up."

Brad smiles and stops outside the club entrance. "Okay baby, I love you. Don't forget! Have fun!"

"I will. I love you too." I lean over and kiss him. Just a quick peck on the lips. 

Before I can pull away he grabs the back of my neck, pulling me closer against him. I gasp surprised and he deepens the kiss, thrusting his tongue inside my mouth roughly and I moan against his lips.

His kiss is more than just a kiss, it feels like he is claiming me, reminding me in a way that I am his. I have never seen act this possessive over me. I like this side of him.
