Forbidden Desires

Chris woke up to the sound of water running and Aiyana singing.

“You… you like driving on a Sunday,

You… you like taking off on Monday,

You’re like a dream,

A dream come true…”

Chris stepped out of bed to walk into the bathroom to watch her or join her he wasn’t sure yet.

Aiyana turned to face the door when she heard it open, watching Chris eye her like a bowl of meat. She smiled and curled a finger to invite him to join her. No sooner was he by her side than she slid her arms around his neck, her lips moving against his earlobe as she began singing again.

“I… Just a face you never noticed,

I… am just trying to be honest,

With myself, with you, with the world.”

Chris moved his hand along her spine, with his eyes closed enjoying the sound of Aiyana’s voice laced with that of the trickling drops of water, engulfing them in their own little world.

“You might think

That I’m a fool for falling over you

So tell me what can I do

To prove to you

Aiyana pushed herself back to look Chris dead in the eyes as if trying to tell him something with the intensity they held.

“Give love a try… one more time

Cause you know that I am on your side

Give love a try… one more time.”

“You are perfect…mi amour”

Aiyana’s eyes went wide open as if in surprise. She always had that expression. Each and every time he praised her. Like she could not believe that Chris could feel that way about her. It hurt him every time but he knew it wasn’t on his account.

Chris leaned down and kissed her nose.

“Aiyana!” Scarlett knocked on the bathroom door.

“Yes, love?”

Even though Scarlett had tried to sound like she hadn’t been crying again, the little crack in her voice gave her away.

“I will be out in a minute, Scar.” She turned to Chris with a solemn look.

“Go be there for your best friend we can have sėx later.”

Aiyana kissed Chris’ nose and went out as she wrapped a towel around her body.

She found Scarlett sitting on their bed, with tears running down her cheeks. Aiyana immediately sat beside her wrapping an arm around her shoulder.

“What happened?”

“Can we go outside and talk? I don’t want to watch that Romeo inside in a towel or worse.”

“Hey he looks pretty good, both with and without it! But fine lets go out in the living room. Do I get to put on clothes or am going in a towel?”

“In a towel.”

With a tub of ice cream placed between them Scarlett began to cry.

“What went wrong?”

“Nothing, sweetheart. This is not your fault”

“Then why does it feel like it?”

“It will go away. I promise.”

“You know I woke up today morning and in my half sleep driven state I reached for my phone and begun to dial his number to wake him up… and then I realized that we have broken up. That Francesca was probably waking him up right now as he tells her how much he loves her! You know he was the first one to say I love you! On our first date! And then he said fuċk I said it too soon! And I believed him!”

Scarlett buried her face in between Aiyana’s brėȧsts; pushing at the cloth that was bȧrėly holding itself together saying over and over again that how could she have believed him.

“I love him, Aiyana… it hurts so much!”

“I know it does baby girl... I am right here…”

Unable to answer that question, Aiyana kept stroking Scarlett’s hair to give her some comfort when the door banged open with the sound of Sky’s voice echoing the walls of Chris’ apartment.

“Honey! I am home and ready for a girl free weeke…”

Sky stopped in his tracks as he watched the scene unfold in front of him. He knew he should have immediately looked away but he didn’t. How could he?

It was his Desdemona in nothing but a towel. Her dark red hair in thick wet waves, sticking all over the place like it would after a fresh wash. The moss green of hers wide as a doe caught in front of the headlights, helplessly trying to hint at the clinging Scarlett to let her go. Although, Scarlett seemed so wrapped up in her misery that she hadn’t noticed Sky standing in the living room. Then, Sky dared to look lower still, to the curve of her neck sparkling with drops of water that tasted its swan like shape. Licked at her skin all the way down her body. Her brėȧsts bȧrėly contained in the towel that didn’t seem to hold its ground very effectively. Her brėȧsts almost peeking out in rebellion. But then came her legs, spread wide open to accommodate Scarlett’s body in between. If only it were not were Scarlett he would have gazed at the mystery the legs held between then. He imagined the water there too dared to touch her.

He was jealous of the drops the ċȧrėssed the skin of her thɨġhs until they reached the apex in between them. Licking at the heavenly lips of her sėx. Touching the ŀȧpels till they entered her. Drawing out their own pŀėȧsurė from the innocent touch. He wanted to be the one to touch her.

Suddenly, he snapped out of the trance and turned around.

“Scarlett!” Both Aiyana and Chris screamed in unison.

“Sky is here darling. Please let me go inside and put something on.” Aiyana pleaded.

Scarlett finally turned and realized that Sky was in the room.

“It’s safe to turn now!” Chris announced.

“I am sorry man I didn’t know. I used the key cause it was supposed to be a boy’s weekend and yeah…”

“I know man. Besides, it’s not even your fault.”

“True true.”

“So what happened to Ms. Scarlett?”

“Dude, she is not your student here! Anyways she just broke up with that Liam kid.”

“Is that so?”

Chris and Sky walked into the kitchen to get a beer and more importantly avoid the messy woman that was crying and shoving ice – cream down her throat, until Aiyana came back.

“Okay baby do you want to watch a movie or do you want to continue crying on my shoulder.”

“You think it’s safe to go to out now?”

“Give it a few minutes.”

“Smart man. Smart.”

“So where should we go?”

“There’s a show for Bird of Prey in 20. Think we can catch it?”

“Isn’t that the Harley Quinn movie?”

“Same chic?”

“Oh yeah! The hottest of them all”

“We are ȧduŀts. I have a girlfriend and you have a wife and still we want to watch a movie just because the chic is hot… What does that say about us?”

“That we like hot women on the big screen even after getting so much sėx. That’s why the pȯrn industry works so well, my dear friend.”

“Amen.”

“We’ll be back soon honey.” Chris called out.

“Okay..” With that they left Scarlett still crying on Aiyana’s shoulder.
