Chapter 1
Smiles walks through the corridor leading to Mark’s apartment. today marks their three years of being together and she wanted to surprise him with a little celebration. She was quite late because she couldn’t find Xena, her best friend and after waiting for half an hour, she decided to leave… She tries to open the door but it shows it was locked…
” good thing I brought the spare key along” she murmured and made her way inside. She has been here what seems like a hundred times so locating his room was a piece of cake for her… She froze on her steps when she was about to reach the door, the sound of moans and groans coming from the other side was very loud and she was no fool to know that Mark was with another girl. slowly, she pushes on the door and the door hits the wall with a loud bang. Mark’s head snaps to the director of the door and upon seeing the person, his eyes grow wide in shock … Somehow, it wasn’t a surprise to Smiles, she stared at them for what seemed like two minutes before leaving…
” Oh my God! What now? I didn’t believe they would push through with her plans” Xena didn’t know what to do and how she would face her friend after being caught with her boyfriend…
” Just get ready and leave” Mark’s voice rings from the door as he makes his way out in chase of Smiles but his steps slow down when he sees her seated on the sofa ever so relaxing as if everything was alright… She knew he was behind her…
” What are you doing? Come take a seat… standing like that isn’t good for your health after a long exercise” She flashes a warm and innocent smile at him, making the man shiver involuntarily, this part of her scares him somehow. In their three years of being together, he has never seen her acting so carefree and unaffected, especially with what just transpired between him and Xena…
“babes, I…” he tried to speak but she cut him off…” You don’t need to explain, I understand everything… I got your back” She winked at him and this made his brow twist in confusion…
” common, take a seat while we wait for Xena to get well dressed… you know, girls need to wash out all the sticky sweats and sperms off their body” It was like she was lecturing him on what ladies do. Mark couldn’t say otherwise as he took the seat in front, facing her…
” You don’t have to explain anything, I know Xena is a very sexy girl with beautiful curves and no man will be able to resist her charms. you’re not an exception, right?” a mischievous smile appears on her lips as she gazes at the man with a raised brow. He swallows hard as he nods his head, agreeing with what she said…
“Good… you’ve always wanted to have a taste and feel of her body, right?” she asked again but he shook his head in denial…
” Are you serious? cause if you are, then you are stupid… If I were a man I would’ve had her as many times as I want,” she said with a face that says I-wish-I-were-a-boy. Surprisingly to him, he nodded his head, and a wide smile formed on her lips…
” I told you, I got your back” Her smile this time was unlike the ones Mark had ever seen before, and for some unknown reason, he shivered again … His gaze met with Xena’s and he could see the fright on her face. Seeing him gazing behind her, Smiles knew Xena was right behind her…
” come on, Xena… join us, the chat is incredibly good and I am sure you will love it” Xena’s once scary face was filled with confusion, not understanding what was going on… she was expecting her to be crying her eyes out knowing how emotional she can get but for some reason unknown to her, she is here, chatting up as if nothing happens. The carefree smile on her face sends a chill down her spine…
” I hope you took your time to clean up your body. you know how irritating it can be when you don’t get well cleaned up” Xena couldn’t believe her ears, she turned to Mark and he just blinked at her before she nodded her head…
” awesome…” She cheers happily…
” I was wondering what kept you so busy that you never bothered to come to help me out as you promised… but now I understand why,” She said and Xena faced the floor, feeling guilty…
“I understand you, how can I not when we’ve known each other since high school… six years if I can remember correctly… I know you like big things and he’s got something down there that every girl can kill to have for a night, right?” she asked and Xena nodded her head with her gaze still on the floor, not daring to look at her…
” Well, it’s so bad that only I can have it… oh, wait! I forgot you just had a taste of it… can you tell me how it was? Was he good?” there was a teasing look on her face when she asked those questions but it disappeared when Xena shook her head in denial…
” What! Are you saying I have bad taste?” she asked with a surprised expression on her face as she stared at her with widening eyes… Xena was confused about what to say…
“n- no…. h-he’s g-good” she stuttered. A smile appears on Smiles’s lips at her response as she looks at them, Mark is sweating hard…
” I know you guys are famished for the hard exercise you just did that’s why I brought a cake to replenish your lost energy” She opened the box, exposing the cake to their view, the icing was yellow with nothing written on it…
” What does this color signify?” she asked and they gulped on their spots…”b-betrayal!” they answered in unison. A flash smirk appears on her lips but quickly disappears…
” what! no… it’s happiness but since you guys say otherwise, then so be it” She cuts on the cake, picks on a piece, and bites on it…
” Common, join me… let’s celebrate, it’s our anniversary to remember,” she said, directing the question to Mark. They had no choice but to pick on the cake and eat it…
” How does it taste?” she asked, smiling…” bitter and sweet!” Xena’s face was way out of the description, and the frown on Mark’s forehead could be seen vividly…Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“Guess that’s how bittersweet betrayal is” She continues to eat the cake as if it was good with a smile on her face while they watch her in wonderment…
” Does she love Mark? Or has she been lying to herself?
