CHAPTER ELEVEN
“Are you ok?” Lyka asked Yara so I looked at Yara who raised an eyebrow while looking at her. I’ve introduced them to each other and it looks like Yara doesn’t like her. The way she looked at Lyka, it was as if she would swallow her whole. We sat side by side and Lyka was opposite us.
“Yeah, you? Are you ok?” Yara asked her back.
“Yeah,” Lyka replied and looked at me.
“I’m sorry, Lyka. Yara and I had a meeting when Dane called so I took her with me,” I lied.
“She’s the singer right?”
“Yes,” I replied.
“Ow, I got it,” Lyka said while smiling. Looks like she already gets what I mean.
She explains her proposal to me while I nod. She proposed something about commercials and how to market a product. It’s interesting, but every time she looks at me Yara also clings to me so I laugh.
“Fuck!” I hissed.
“Are you ok, Zeus?” Lyka asked.
“Yeah.” I feel Yara’s hand on my bulge. She caressed cocky softly and now I am lost in control because of her soft hand.
“So, what do you think about my proposal?” she asked.
“W-well, it’s quite good. Interesting.” I answer quickly. But I couldn’t get my mind off Yara’s hand gently squeezing cocky. That’s where my attention was more focused.
“I think, not marketable,” Yara groaned.
“Excuse me?” Lyka asked and looked at me.
“I said, your idea is not marketable in a product. The endorsers you choose to promote the business are weak. Also, your way of a commercial is old fashion. Sorry, my opinion.”
“Do you have any suggestions, baby?” I ask.
“Well, based on my observation, stuff, accessories, souvenirs are easy to market in the youth and not in the elderly. Mostly, in the elderly, it is food or basic necessities that they allocate money to. Those who love to shop for random stuff are teenagers from 13 to 21 years old and female. Those who hardly eat can only earn up on what they want to buy.”
I looked at Lyka who was just listening to Yara.
“What are the passions of women at that age? Anime, Korean pop, Japanese pop, books or ebooks, social media platforms. And when they see souvenirs from their idols, even maybe a bottle was thrown at the concert. They will scramble to buy. So, if you want to market things. Choose the endorser that is popular with the youth or, choose items that can be connected to idols or celebrities.” I smiled because of what she said.
Honestly, we have the same thought. I just out earlier because what she did was cocky.
“What do you think, Lyka?” I ask.
“I think, what she said is good. I’ll redo my works and let you know again.”
“Can I make a request?” Yara said to Lyka.
“What it is?”
“Can you just have a meeting with someone else? Not with Zeus.” I also frowned at what she said.
“Yara,” I softly rebuked her.
“Zeus and I talk only about business.”
“That’s not what your eyes say. I am a woman and so you are. If you know what I mean.”
“I have a husband, and I’m happily married,” Lyka replied.
“Really? Well, good for you, but I am not convinced.”
“Yara,” I scolded again then looked at Lyka. “I am sorry Ly, there is a misunderstanding — you know.”
“No worries, Zeus. Anyway, I need to go. I’ll call Dane once I finish. Nice meeting you, Yara.” But she just gave her a smile.
“What was that?” I asked when Lyka left.
“I told you, what mine is mine, Zeus.”
“Were talking about business.”
“Business her ass.” Then she stood up and left me.
“Hey!” I took some money from my pocket and laid it on the table then followed her. “Yara, what is it?” I caught up with her in the parking lot so I quickly grabbed her hand.
“I’ll go home. Bye.”
“Let’s talk.”
“I have my period so I don’t want to talk.”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“Let’s just talk.”
“Tomorrow, I’m not in the mood ee.” I grab her and kiss her. She responded to my kiss until it became aggressive. Our foreheads were touching when we parted.
“Are you jealous, baby?”
“What if I will say, I am.” I fix myself because of her answer. “What will you react now, Zeus?”
“Yara, we already —”
“I got it, no commitment, no string attached. Don’t worry, I didn’t forget. So, can I go home?”
“No,”
“Yes. I’ll go home either you like it or not. Don’t worry I’m ok, I have my period so I am overreacting. Mood swing–you know.”
“Fine.” I didn’t force her and she might leave me again and never show up. “Come and I’ll drop you home.” She didn’t argue with me either. She gets in and I drive. While on the road we did not talk. When we arrived at her condo building, she was about to go down without even saying goodbye.
“Yara,” I held her hand to prevent her from getting down.
“I’m fine, don’t you understand mood swings?” She removed my hands and went down. I just shook my head and let her go. I went straight to the office to go back to work.
IT IS NINE in the evening when someone rang the doorbell here in my unit. I don’t expect any visitors and if someone will come at this hour it’s none other than Yara. I smile thinking about her. Mood swing is real to women.
When I opened the door it was not Yara who was outside but Lyka.
“Ly? What brought her?”
“Can I come in?” I could smell alcohol from her
“Sure.” I open the door widely for her to enter. When I closed the door and turned around, Lyka suddenly kiss me on the neck and on the cheek. She knows I’m not kissing on the lips. “Lyka, wait, easy.” But she just continued her kiss on my neck.
“Zeus, I miss you.” She kissed me again then crawled her hand on my body but I quickly touched her. “Make me happy, Zeus. I want you, I want you inside of me.”
“Lyka, what’s wrong?”
“Zeus, I want you inside of me. I miss cocky.”
“No. I’m sorry but I can’t.”
“Zeus, please. We did it before, let’s do it again.”
“We did it when you’re single. The case now is different. I love to fuck random gals, but not with already had partner. You’re married, so, no.”
“Zeus.”
“Calm down, let’s talk.” I heard her sigh and also followed into the living room. I took the wine and gave it to her. “Tell me, what’s wrong?” She calmed down a bit when I got back in the chair.
“Zeus, I’m sorry.”
“I understand, just tell me.”
“I love my husband, I am happy with him. He did everything for me. He taking care of me, he loves me, I am satisfied with him. But-but you know me, Zeus, before I get married you know what I am in bed and —- and my husband can’t satisfy my needs.”
That is why I hate commitment especially if I don’t know the woman very well because I don’t want disappointment. I don’t want to risk a relationship and I might not be able to perform or I might fall short.
“But it’s not enough reason to cheat him. You’re not his fuck buddy, he’s not your boyfriend, his your husband. If there is any problem in your marriage, both of you should be the ones to fix it. Open it to him.”
“Honestly, I’m content even though I’m always not reaching my orgasm. I please myself alone just. Not until, I saw you, again. Everything came back, how many times you make me cum, how many times have we —– God! I hate myself.”
“He just lacks foreplay. Talk to him, tell him about your issue. He’s your husband, Lyka, and he’ll be the first to understand you.”
“I’m sorry, Zeus. Your partner is right earlier. Just in the meeting I really wanted to grab you.”
“Her radar was strong then.”
“You like her, right?”
“Well, yes, but she knows what we are, fuckbuddy. The only difference between you is that I stay with her and, no side chicks. But still no commitment. Sex, and sex.”
“She likes you.”
“She’s possessive, she just doesn’t want me to have anyone else because I might get sick.”
“Nah, I’m a woman, believe me when I said that she loves you. Anyway, gotta go. I’m sorry for what I did, I shouldn’t have done that to you.”
“It’s okay, don’t do it again and I might not be able to hold back,” I said and smile. She stood up and I followed.
“Gotta go, sorry again.” I led him to the door. Exactly when I opened the door, Yara was in front of me. Raised an eyebrow looking at me and then looked at Lyka.
“Yara?” I call her Lyka also looked at me and was surprised.
“Happily married, huh!” She said while smiling. “Now tell me that what I said earlier is wrong? Mrs. happy with husband?” She asks sarcastically.
