My Best Friends Mistress

Chapter Seven - Regret (Asher's P.O.V)

Asher’s P.O.V

I headed to my car and sat in for the next half an hour. I cannot believe I let that happen with Callie of all people. And thinking about it more now, I was the one that started it. I started it when we were on the dance-floor. Yes, I pulled away and realized what I was doing but that was how it started. The closeness of her body…the way she was moving against me, I couldn’t help myself. The fact that I haven't been laid in three months made something that is usually fun and innocent between us became more and I hated myself for it. No Kate and I aren't exactly got the best marriage right now but she does not deserve me cheating on her. Plus Callie does not deserve me using her like that cause that is what I was doing. I was using her to sort my own needs out and that was selfish.

I finally started the car, heading back home and ready for Kate going off on one at me cause I hadn’t been home or spoke to her since the cab ride to the club. When I arrived I saw her car wasn’t in the drive which meant she wasn’t in and, to be honest, my first thought was thank f**k. I could go in and get showered, try to forget last night ever happened. That is gonna be easier said than done considering how incredible it was. We f****d well together. I can’t deny that but that isn’t the kind of things I should be thinking.

I headed inside, the first thing I did was head to the bathroom, stripping down and climbing into the shower. I hissed at the hot water hit my back, making it nip. What the heck? Maybe the water was too warm. I closed my eyes, letting the warm waterfall over me, trying to wash my sins away but it really was not working for me.

“f**k!” I hissed to myself, punching the shower wall behind me, soon regretting it when it hurt like hell…damn it.

I stayed in the shower for the next hour, getting lost in my own thoughts. I was worried in case what happened ruined everything between Callie and I. That was the last thing I wanted. She was a huge part of my life…of me and I couldn’t imagine my life without her. I am hoping we are strong enough to get through this, surely one drunken mistake can’t ruin all those years of friendship?

I eventually climbed out of the shower, my back still stinging a little. I turned around, trying to see my back in the mirror, soon finding out the reason my back was nipping. It was covered in scratches, s**t! As much as I shouldn’t I smirked to myself for a moment, been a while since I have nails marks on my back. Kate used to do it to me all the time, well until we got married and well the rest you already know…things changed. The fun, crazy, hot s*x life we used to have become normal and a little boring, to be honest. At least then we were still getting intimate, that is better than nothing…the way things are now.

Who knew Callie was so wild and rough? Now I understand why she had so many men after her especially the ones that have had her. The woman knew what she was doing that was for sure. With the thought of that, I felt myself becoming excited, telling me that was the time to stop thinking about her…thinking about what happened last night. I wrapped a towel around myself, heading through to the bedroom, sitting on the edge of the bed, running my hands through my hair and sighing loudly. I grabbed my phone, wanting to text Callie but decided against it. I need some time away from her to come to terms with things.

“Asher?” I hear Kate’s voice call out

Shit! I need to put clothes on quick before she sees my back.

“Bedroom darling,” I called back

I quickly rushed around, drying myself and pulling clothes on quickly. Just as I pulled my tee on she came into the bedroom. She was in her workout clothes, and she must have been at the gym.

“Hey, baby.” I smiled

“Hi. I am sorry about last night Asher.” She said. 

She does this sometimes after we fight, she becomes all sweet again and apologies but that doesn’t last long, well, sometimes it does. We do have our good days.

“It is alright baby. I am sorry I left again and never came home, just hate fighting with you all the time.” I said. 

Kate made he was over to me, pouting. I reached my arms out and she stepped into them. I pulled her into my chest, wrapping my arms around her and kissing the top of her head. I hated myself for cheating on her. No one deserves that. Kate wrapped her arms around me, looking up at me. 

“I do love you, Asher.” She said smiling. 

“I know baby. I love you too.” I said pushing her hair behind her ear. 

She reached up, pressing her lips against mine in a soft kiss. It only lasts a moment before she pulled away. I hated when she did that, pulled away from me so quickly. I wish we could go back to how it was before we got married.

“Shall I make us breakfast?” I asked

“Yes, please. I have not eaten this morning plus I miss your pancakes.” She pouted, giggling.

I smiled, seeing the woman I fell head over heels in love with all those years ago come through for a moment.

“Well, then it is my duty as a husband to make my beautiful wife pancakes.” I smiled. 

The fact that she was being sweet was making what happened last night even worse, making me feel even guiltier. Kate giggled, nodding her head. I wrapped my arm around her and led us through to the kitchen to make us some breakfast.

“You going back out today?” she asked watching me as I made pancakes. 

“I am in for the day. All yours if you don’t have plans?” I said. 

“Nope, no plans.” She smiled

I reached over, pecking her lips before getting back to what I was doing. 

“How about we make a day of it?” I said

“What did you have in mind?” she asked

“Breakfast…shopping…lunch…dinner…movie?” I smiled

“Sounds good baby. It has been a while since we have spent the full day/night together.” She said reaching over and giving my hand a squeeze. 

I nodded, reaching in for another kiss and finished off making breakfast for us before we sat down enjoying it together. Kate dug straight in. I, however, sat there playing with my food, not really in the mood for eating. I sighed, running my hands through my hair. 

“Asher, you OK?” Kate asked

“Yeah, fine sweetheart. Just not hungry, a little hungover.” I said

“You aren't eighteen anymore baby.” She giggled “You can’t handle the drink that way you used too.” She added.

“I know…I know. I still like to think I am a teenager at times.” I chuckled/

After how last night ended I do not think I will be ever drinking again, that has put me off it.

“If it is any consolation you are still as handsome as you were back then.” She said winking at me

I have not seen this playful side of her in a while, I have missed it. It was one of the reasons I fell in love with her.

“Why thank You. And you baby are just as beautiful.” I said winking back

Kate rolled her eyes playfully at me before giggling and shaking her head. 

“Shut up and eat your breakfast.” She laughed

“Yes, mam,” I said sticking my tongue out at her.

I finally managed to eat it, forgetting about last night and enjoying a good day with my wife. I was hoping it would last cause I do miss her…miss that side of her.
