Bedmates Soulmates

The next morning.

Kira slumped against her seat on the bus and cursed Austyn for the thousandth time.

"Bastard!" she said to herself. "Beast! Sex maniac!"

The man refused to let her go to sleep.

He insisted on proving to her just how long he could go without the help of the little blue pills.

Kira had no idea what he was talking about.

She woke up this morning covered in hickeys and...bitemarks!

What an animal!

Kira fumed as she touched her right earlobe, then covered it with her long hair.

Last night was a blur.

She remembered going to a bar with Giana.

Then the desperate sprint to find a restroom.

Then...seeing Austyn and Kayleigh coming into the restroom.

An awkward scene ensued, ending with her hightailing it out of there and leaving the two lovebirds to carry on their business.

When she came back downstairs, Giana wasn't there.

She started chugging bottles of beer.

Then.. nothing

She must have blacked out.

But the make-out scene between Austyn and Kayleigh was etched in her brain, in glorious technicolour. The thought of Austyn having a quickie with another woman before coming home and climbing in bed More Than Just One Lesso

with her made Kira's blood boil.

It also made her sick.

Her hands shook as she kept replaying scenes from last night in her mind.

"Are you...okay?" a girl seated next to her asked carefully.

"What?" Kira was startled out of her trance..

"Um, you are crying.' the girl pointed to Kira's face.

Tears were streaming down her cheeks.

Kira ran a hand over her face to wipe them away.

"Rough breakup?"

Kira sniffled. 'No.'

'Then why are you crying your eyes out?"

Kira bit her bottom lip, then hissed at the pain.

The girl handed her a tissue. 'It's okay if you don't want to talk. I understand. Go ahead. Let it all out. You'll feel better after a good cry. I know I will. Let me tell you about this one time I failed my mid-terms. I almost bawled my eyes out..." Her comforting words somehow only made Kira more depressed.

Even a stranger could tell she was upset.

But that man...This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Kira let herself lose control and allowed the tears to flow freely.

'My husband is cheating on me!" she blurted out.
