Bad Boy’s Play mate

CHAPTER. 9. THE SEDUCTRESS, MISS NATALIE

Although it was a working day, Zack decided to stay behind at his apartment. Unfortunately, he was slipping back into his old habits. While lying comfortably on the bed, Zack thought about the previous day when Addison tried to confront Zack about Miss Natalie.

Since he was alone, he freely confessed, "I get it, Addison. I already know everything. I'm not that stupid, but I know if I told you about the reason why I still insist on pursuing Natalie, you'll probably hate me."

Laughing at his own buffoonery, Zack asked himself, "Seriously? Do I really care if she hates me or not?"

“There was a time when I struggled to accept Miss Natalie's behaviour myself. That woman gives off this fine breeze of sophistication that it’s practically impossible to hate her," confessed Zack while recollecting the events of the day when he had spent a night in a love hotel with Norah Jones, his fiancée.

(FLASHBACK)

Just when they finished making love, the girl informed Zack about the deeds of Natalie, but he got revolted by the idea and couldn't accept it. It was undeniably difficult for the guy to acknowledge that the person in whom he instilled his affection was corrupt.

Norah also wasn't going to give up. After getting dressed, she planned on proving her accusations.

Thus, she took Zack's hand and dragged him to a nearby hotel. With his own eyes, Zack saw Natalie walking inside the hotel with an old professor.

"Oh, God! He's so old!" exclaimed Zack in utter disbelief.

The girl nodded as she responded, "Yeah, he's one of the professors at my sister's university."

There was no lies that he could tell himself. The delusion that he had built about Natalie’s persona broke right in front of him. It was heartbreaking for her. He couldn’t take anmore of it, and thus decided to leave.

The grotesque truth came rumbling down upon him, and he was forced to rush back into his apartment. That night, he cried himself to sleep. It was a tough night for the guy.

The next day, Miss Natalie arrived at his home as if nothing had happened. As she undid the buttons of her trench coat, Zack stared quietly at her face.

The woman then apologised, "Sorry, I'm late."

While pointing at the small package in her hand, the woman asked, "Do you want some cake, Henley?"

He couldn't respond as he was engaged in observing the clothes that she was wearing from yesterday.

While narrowing her gaze at him, she tilted her head a little.

Zack was sure that she was doing that because she knew she looked cute in that angle. He was inticed to see how far she’d go for getting his attention. After all, he was a man too. 

As soon as they began studying, Zack couldn't help but realise that Addison couldn't live without a man giving her attention, her gestures and body lamguage was a proof of that. Just when he realised her pattern of thinking, Natalie became this fragile, pitiful girl to him.

While studying, they were also helping themselves with the cake. He was so engilfed in solving the question that his lips were a mess. 

After spotting the frosting on Zack's face, Natalie leaned forward and wiped it off his face with her finger and asked, "Sorry, you had some icing on your face."

Unfortuately, he couldn’t focus on her words because of the proximity they shared. When her face was right next to him, he feared his own realisations. As she began getting more closer, he could smell her hairs. Thus he was able to detect that the smell that sprung from her hairs was of the love hotel's shampoo.

Though irked by the smell, he still couldn't take his eyes off her.

Natalie brought her finger in Zack's direction and asked tenderly, "Do you want to lick the icing off my finger?"

Awkwardly, the guy responded, "No."

In an almost seducing manner, she licked it herself.

Unable to turn his back on reality, Zack realised that she was indeed a sick woman. She was a mess. Since then, Zack couldn't help but fall more for her. It was getting out of his hands. He had no control over his feelings. Whenever he saw her, he melted away like butter.

Natalie's tactics, however, weren't restricted to just the cake. She wasn't happy with the lack of attention. She, therefore, purposefully dropped the pencil on the ground and picked it up gracefully while making sure that Zack was looking at her cleavage. She had worn a top with a plunged neckline intentionally to seduce the guy she was educating.

"Oh, silly me! I dropped my pencil," spoke Natalie and got down on her knees to look for it.

Being a teenager, Zack couldn't revert his eyes away from her. As she got back on her feet, he speculated if she calculated all of that.

With a smile, the girl spoke, "I'm sorry."

While the woman tried her best to seduce the young guy, he wondered if she calculated her every move around men. After all that, the guy felt his reasoning to be useless.

Although he identified her tactics, he couldn't help himself from falling further into her trap.

(FLASHBACK ENDS)

While lying comfortably on his bed, Zack deduced, "I have never seen anyone quite like her before. If I were to relate my true feelings to Addison, she would probably lash out at me."

After sitting, the guy chuckled as he mimicked Addison's voice while mumbling, "Are you insane? You're so pathetic! Just die already, looser!'

Truthfully, Zack didn't hate how honest Addison could get. It was refreshing for him.

When Zack peeked a glance at his phone, he got stuck by the realisation that it was Wednesday.

"Norah might be available. Since I didn't go to school, she'd be at home as well," deduced Zack.

Since he had nothing to do, he thought he'd call Norah to meet him. While sitting on the nearby bus stand, he waited for her. Norah arrived within five minutes or so.

As she stood right in front of Zack, he confessed, "Actually, I didn't think that you would come."

While playfully smiling, the girl asked, "Why not?"

As he stood back on his feet, the guy was quick to declare, "Thank you for coming. I need you so bad to distract me for a while."

They both entered a nearby love hotel. While the guy insisted on walking some more, Norah insisted, "I really hate wasting my time. Let's do it."

The guy hesitated on answering her as he feared to make it obvious that he seeked her for s****l favour, "I mean, I didn't exactly call just to have--"

The girl requested the guy to cut the facade, "That's the reason why you called me. It's fine. I'm partly to blame for that since I love you."

The girl then walked into a love hotel and dragged him inside as well.

After getting inside the hotel's room, the girl pushed Zack on the bed and began discarding her clothes.

Watching her remove her top, the guy spoke, "You don't have to do this if you don't want to."

Finally, in her garments, the woman asked him to calrify, "You want s*x, right?"

"Well, yeah," responded Zack within a breath.

They were soon on the bed. From stroking Norah's hairs to licking her earlobe, Zack tried to get her involved emotionally and passionately.

"Mmmm, Zack," let out Norah while being beneath him. It was a moment of relief for him. While being focused on the present moment, he didn't think about Natalie. It was the first time that happened. He was enjoying the moment.

Just when they finished, they headed to the bathroom. While Zack chose to shower, Norah went inside the bathtub and rested her head on the tiled wall.

"You know what?" spoke Norah while soaking inside the warm water.

While shampooing his hairs, Zack responded, "Yeah?"

With her arms crossed, Norah stated, "We've never done it before when you wanted to do it. So, this makes us even."

Though Zack and Norah got acquainted by their parent's wish to marry them, they did share physical intimacy but emotions. They have been having s*x for as long as they've known one another. The person to introduce the idea in their relationship was Norah. She was the one who took Zack's virginity away from him.

After declaring that they were indeed even as it was she who did him the s****l favour, she went off.

While holding the empty bottle of the cold drink that Norah had drunk, Zack voiced his thoughts, "She was in a hurry to run away and didn't even bother to spend the night. Well, whatever!"

Zack then returned to his home and spiralled through his loneliness while playing video games.

The next day, he decided to go to school as he was bored in his house.

On his way to the entrance, he met Addison.

"Hey Zack," called out Addison while walking towards him.

With tired eyes, Zack looked at her with a perplexed face. He was out of it.

"Good morning," greeted Addison.

He didn't say anything but accompanied Addison to his class. During their time away from one another, they had indulged in physical affairs with other people. Thus, there was a sort of awkwardness and guilt in both of their mind.

The truth of the relationship that they weren't dating one another for real helped them in getting rid of the shame a bit.

As both parted to attend their respective classes, Addison almost wished it would be lunch break already. She managed to get through four hours of studying, and it was already the time for the lunch break.

After grabbing her lunch box, Addison rushed to get to the terrace. Upon reaching the spot, she saw Zack lying down while resting his head on his backpack. She hurried to get to his side and followed suit.

After getting a clear look at the sky, Addison notified the guy, "It's so hot! Summer vacation is coming up real soon."

While holding his head with his hands, the guy grunted as he spoke, "It's too hot to lay here, but it's peaceful at the same time. In my class, the guys are cocky and loud. I hate that."

Addison agreed and affirmed, "That is inideed true."

Due to the presence of an uncanny silence between them, Addison was further forced to speak, "They will probably give us a ton of homework for the vacation."

Unbothered to even respond, Zack stood up and grabbed his water bottle to drink some water.

It was then Addison realised that there seemed to be an invisible wall between the two.

At times, Addison and Zack were close. She was sure that it wasn't just her imagination.

Other times, however, they were practically strangers. Since they began dating, they spent considerably less time alone. They stopped talking about things that might get too real.

Addison ended up not disclosing the things about Mister Silas and his proposal to Miss Natalie.

They each got a sense that the other had more things that they were hiding from one another.

Although aware, they tried to avoid the trouble of even asking for it. Addison persistently wondered why.

She realised that Everlyn was enough for filling her loneliness, and she didn't require him anymore. If it was about filling the void, then Everlyn was enough.

She thus wondered why she wasn't ready to let go of Zack. She was worried about the reason behind her not getting enough of Zack.

Before she could even give it a thought, she laid on top of Zack and began kissing him with her tongue.

It was intense. While Addison melted in the passion of Zack's warm, rigid and passionate kisses, she realised there was a difference in the manner in which he handled her.

She, therefore, asked, "Did you sleep with someone else, Zack?"

Instead of straightaway confessing, he instead enquired, "You did too. Didn't you?"

While looking passionately into his eyes, Addison confessed, "I did."

She wasn't shocked that he, too, spotted the difference in her way of approaching him. In a normal relationship, the partners would get turned off by this truth. In their situation, they both were excited to sleep with one another. It was as if a foreign passion sparked inside the both of them.
