C14 See You Next Time.

Iris twiddled her fingers as she looked at the street outside. She felt so nervous as she did not know David’s mood at the moment. Even though she was happy to see him, she was unsure of how she should act around him.

“How was work?” David asked her. For the first time, he was the one who was taking charge of their conversation.

“It was a long day since you weren’t around,” Iris responded and nervously bit on her bottom lip. David glanced at her and saw her nervous expression, which served to reassure him for some reason.

“I’ve been drinking too much recently, I should take a break,” David commented, and Iris turned to look at him.

“Is it because of me? I’m really sorry,” Iris apologized before David could stop her.

“It’s not your fault. I’m a grown man, the least I could do is manage how much alcohol I drink,” David said with a chuckle. If he was not driving, he would have patted her head affectionately. But since he was, his response ended up sounding very cold.

“I submitted my resignation today,” Iris said and looked at him to study his expressions. David, who carried a poker face all year round, had a poker face as expected.

When David stopped in front of her house, Iris nervously fidgeted with her fingers and was unsure of what to do. Iris looked at him in admiration of his good looks before looking away from him.

“I must work a bit longer than expected, but I won’t be at the bar a month from now,” she continued.

“Will you come up for some coffee?” she asked him and David only responded by blankly looking at her. He wanted to go, but he was very hesitant about the next step he should take.

Iris looked at his cautious expression and sighed in disappointment. It was the first time she was pursuing a man, and he turned out to be so hyper-aware of everything. She started feeling defeated even before starting.

“Then can I have a kiss?” she asked him, and the hands on the steering wheel gripped it so hard his knuckles turned white. The girl was really testing his patience! He thought to himself.

“It’s okay if you don’t want to, it’s just that I have to do it with someone else later and thought that I shouldn’t mix up the first few times I do it with someone else. She said with a heavy sigh. David could barely stand her words.

He was a very jealous and very possessive man. After his ex-wife cheated on him the first time, he was unwilling to touch her. It was like she had become contaminated by something toxic.

He held other people under such a strict standard because he had no problem doing it. Even if his partner cheated on him, for the duration in which they were together, he would remain faithful to them. This was the main reason why Suzanne moved out of the house.

If he cheated on her or did something immoral, she could at least try to comfort herself by saying that it was a moment of weakness, but now there was no such excuse. Going by his disgust after finding out, it seemed he was even more disgusted by what she did that was why she could not stand her guilt and moved out of his house.

“You are doing it with someone else?” David asked her and she nodded.

“Don’t think about it too much. Once I start working I might have to do even racier things,” she said with a smile on her face. Why did she look happy about it? He wondered as he looked at her smiling expression.

His expression immediately became uglier. He wanted to say no, but who would he be speaking as? He was not her boyfriend, fiancé, or her husband. Hell, he wasn’t even a normal friend. What right did he have to dissuade her from doing this? For the first time, David felt so frustrated he was tempted to punch a wall.

Although he did not say anything out loud, Iris knew what he was thinking about, so she leaned forward to draw his attention.

“I really want to do it,” Iris said as she leaned over David, who was looking at her with a blank expression.

“I’ll do it since I don’t know when I’ll see you next,” Iris said as if she was trying to justify her own actions. She placed her hand on the back of his neck and pulled him to her for a kiss. David’s eyes widened in surprise before they closed and he became immersed in the kiss.

He could already feel her tongue shyly lick at his lips and the way she kept biting on his bottom lip while murmuring his name. It only served to encourage him and stimulate him even more. Just the thought of her doing this with other people made his blood boil.

He was tempted to hold her back and just let her stay home so that he could take good care of her. But he knew if he did that, he would be going against her wishes.

He did not want to have a repeat of what happened between him and ruin this budding relationship they shared. Even if he could not make promises, the least he could do was to make sure that she was not being taken advantage of.

David tilted her chin up with his finger and deepened the kiss they shared. Since they were already doing this, they might as well do it properly. Iris’s body shook when she felt his tongue plundering her mouth and an involuntary moan escaped her lips.

David separated from her when he heard such a seductive moan from her. He felt like he might just take her up on her offer and go up to her apartment with her. Iris could feel David panting with her and the feel of his warm breath against the sensitive skin of Iris’s neck.

“Aren’t you going to come up?” Iris asked him again, and he shook his head. He almost changed his mind after seeing her expression. He figured that if he dwelled here longer, then it would be a disaster.

“Well, I’ll see you next time,” Iris said and reluctantly released him. David watched as she fixed her clothes before getting out of the car.

“Next time…” Iris said and left the sentence hanging before rushing to her building. David looked at her for a few seconds before a shallow smile appeared on his face and waited until the lights to her apartment turned on before leaving.
