Tomorrow
He placed her on the bed, and she pulled his shirt towards her when he wanted to turn around and leave her side.
"Do you need something?" he asked her in the gentlest voice he could produce.
"Kiss me" Alisha whispered, bringing his lips close to hers.
"Alisha, I think you are drunk and should sleep, I would not want us to do something we will regret tomorrow."
"You think I am unattractive?" she asked still trying to bring his lips on hers.
"I actually think you are the most beautiful woman right now, and I want to kiss you too, but I don't think you are ready, you are just speaking from the influence of the excess wine you have had."
"I want you, I want you badly Leo, I want you to kiss me and make love to me." She stopped talking as she was able to get his lips on hers, she kissed him not hungrily but gently.
He tasted the kiss in her mouth as he kissed her back.
He tried not to touch any other part of her body, he just leaned in and allowed her control the kiss.
She moaned in his mouth as she took the kiss deeply.
He felt his erection building, he was trying not to touch her body, because she was in a vulnerable state and if he pushed a little further he might not be able to control himself any longer, he would rather offend a drunk Alisha by not taking things further, than to have a crying Alisha who have sobered up and think he had taken advantage of her.
"Make love to me Leo, I beg you" she said in his mouth, as she touched his body.
He wanted to, badly he wanted to touch every inch of her skin.
To hold her, to kiss her, to caress her, to massage her breasts, to tease her with his tongue, to tease her ear lobe, and neck, her throat and breasts.
To tease her thighs with his fingers, and plant wet kisses around her sensitive spots. He badly wanted to play with her clit, to massage her swollen clit with his fingers, and push two fingers into her wetness, until she came, he would also love to eat her up with his mouth, she would be the first woman he would drive his tongue into her sweet core.
But then he had to control himself, he had to stop himself, he would love to make her scream for him, he wanted so badly to pleasure her, he had not wanted to make a woman satisfied before, but with Alisha he wanted to satisfy her more than he wanted his own satisfaction.
"Leonardo please make love to me" she pleaded again as she kissed his body and took off his shirt. How was he going to stop her without offending her.
She was the first woman that would use the word "make love to me" and he would not take offence, he didn't make love, he fucked, but with Alisha he wanted to experience what it meant to make love, maybe it was giving her every satisfaction she yearned for even if his own satisfaction was not promised.
She would also be the first woman he would allow to control the kiss or to even take off his clothes, he was at the edge of his control, but he needed to stop her now, else he was going to ravish her beyond going back.
"Alisha, why not you let me shower and I will be back to make love to you" Leonardo thought of an escape plan.
"No, I want you this way" she said in a childish tone
"I won't be long baby" he said and escaped her grip.
He stayed so long in the bathroom until he was sure she had fallen asleep. God help him drunk and horny Alisha was super crazy, capable of driving him nuts, setting his body on fire and making him think up crazy things.
When he went back to the bedroom, she was deeply sleeping; he could not be more pleased. The shower he had had also helped calm down his throbbing erection.
"My head hurts" Alisha lamented when she woke up the next morning.
"Here, have this" he gave her pain relief and a glass of water.
"I was drunk last night, right?" she asked and Leonardo smiled remembering how she had acted the previous night.
"Please tell me I did not do anything stupid, oh my gosh I would be so embarrassed what did I say, please tell me I did not try to sing or dance, I sulk at it"
"Nope, you acted good, just fine, perfect in fact" if only she knew she had done worst than dancing and singing.
"Why are you smiling that way? What are you hiding from me?" she was sure she must have done something stupid that was why she always stayed away from alcohol.
"I had this weird dream, I was kissing you and huhhh, so embarrassing and stupid" she covered her face with her hand.
"So you were fantasying over me in your dream?" Leonardo was not going to tell her that it was not a dream but it had happened last night after dinner.
"No, it was just a stupid dream, let me fix you breakfast."
"I"d grab something later, I have to go now, and I have a meeting outside the office this morning."
Alisha prepared for work still trying to recall what had happened the previous night; she gave up on the thoughts and focused on baking when she arrived at the bakery.
Alisha decided to take lunch to Leonardo at the office since she was not sure if he had breakfast.
When she arrived at the office, she met a new receptionist, after introducing herself as Leonardo's wife she was allowed up, getting out of the elevator to his office, she did not find Chloe at her desk, and she saw that Leonardo's door was slightly opened.
Without bothering to knock on the door, she pushed the door and went in. "Leo? Chloe? She called out in shock; Chloe was in Leonardo's embrace. "So sorry" she muttered, dropped the lunch basket by the door and ran towards the elevator.
"Alisha, focus" she told herself as she drove back to the bakery
"Don't you dare cry, you are not in love with him, he is not in love with you, you owe him no form of commitment, and he owes you no form of commitment either.
But why Chloe? No no no, this is all messed up" she was ranting as she drove.
She drove past the bakery, she was not sure where she was headed, but she just kept driving ahead until she was out of town and found herself by a brook.
She sat down there as she thought about Chloe and Leonardo.
Chloe was supposed to be her friend, her best friend at that, since the last fight they had, and after she had gone missing, they have not spoken.
Now Chloe was going out with Leonardo.
For how long has this been going on? How long has Chloe had interest in Leonardo?
Chloe was pregnant for Max, and now she is with Leo, or is Leo responsible for the pregnancy? If Leo was interested in Chloe why had he told her the previous day that they could rework the marriage and the whole contract clause?
She had many questions running through her head, yet she had no logical answer to any of them. She was confused, hurt and wanted to just run away.
"Why does it hurt so much?" she asked herself as she drove back to the mansion.
It was quite late and she did not want to bother the few people that cared about her with news that she was missing again.
When she returned to her car, she had see so many missed calls from Leonardo. When she arrived at the house, Leonardo was not in, she responded to Mary's greeting and went upstairs. She looked the door, had a hot bath and went to sleep.
"Is my wife in?" Leonardo asked Mary the moment he stepped in, he was slightly drunk. Thinking about what Alisha had seen and how he was going to explain to her that she assumed wrongly had gotten him so worked up that he drank up a few bottles of beer.
"Yes sir, she has been back for a while now, but she won't come out to eat dinner, she barely said a word when she got in."
He thought about going to the room to explain things to her, to tell her he was sorry even if he did nothing wrong, to tell her he was serious about reviewing his commitment to her.
He wanted to also tell her that he was going to go celibate, he would not go after other women as long as they stayed married and he was not going to push her into thinking she had to meet his sexual need.
He stood by the door and wanted to knock on it, then he decided she would probably be mentally exhausted. He was going to allow her sleep tonight, but tomorrow she was going to listen to him either she liked it or not.
He went to the adjourning room, he went to the door that separated them from each other, he listened to the silence of the room and heard Alisha sobbing.
His heart cut and bleed, he was making her cry, it was just some hour ago he had promised he was not going to hurt her, and here he was making her cry, what kind of a man was he?
He did not deserve her, she was going through so much pain and most of it was his fault, he was going to end that tonight, he was going to put an end to this hurt once and for all.
"Alisha open the door" he knocked at the adjourning door. She stopped sobbing and went quiet, but he knew she was awake and could hear him.
"Alisha open the damn door, I need to tell you something. Chloe and I had nothing together, her ex boyfriend Max came to the office today, he pulled up a scandal, and after her I beat him up and had security take him away, she was still scared and was crying and hugged me in fright, ordinarily I would have pushed her away, but she is your friend, I thought of you and I knew you would want to offer her comfort, so I patted her bad to help her calm down, that was when you came in.
I'm sorry you thought otherwise, I know I hurt you too much, so we can forget about what we discussed, I will not hold you back any longer.
I will not keep you in this marriage any more Alisha, tomorrow I will have the lawyer end the contract, and you can have your freedom.
You will be a free woman Alisha, and then you can go far away from me, away from this mean man who is always causing you hurt"
Alisha listened to him, she was not sure how she was going to respond, she did not know what she was going to say, so she stayed still and listened to him speak to her from the other room.
"Did you hear what I said Alisha?
Tomorrow you will be a free woman, tomorrow you can live your life the way you did before I came into the picture, tomorrow you are free to be the woman you want without a freak like me.
You can fall in love with a better man, be free, get married for real, have children and do all the awesome things you want." He was not drunk, hearing her cry had sobered him up, and he knew what he was saying, tomorrow, they would be divorced.
