His weakness

Chapter Fifteen -Let me make it up to you...

Nola 

I was pissed off at Kylan for last night. If he didn’t want to stay, then he could have told me that, rather than lie to me and disappear as I slept. I shouldn’t be surprised, though. He warned me what he was like. But what got me more annoyed was that he didn’t even have the decency to text me back. I saw he read it. I forgot about it because it was late when I sent it, but it was eleven a.m. now and still nothing. 

Maybe I have no right to be angry with him because it isn’t like we are together. We are having s*x, nothing more, nothing less. I was currently in class, so I shouldn’t really be thinking about it. I should be concentrating on my work. 

I pushed Kylan to the back of my mind and put my head down to do my work. As I did, my phone started vibrating in my pocket; someone was calling me. I looked up to make sure the professor wasn’t looking in my direction. I took the phone from my pocket; Kylan’s name was flashing across my screen. 

He picks now to call me. So typical! I hit the reject button, but he called back again. I did the same a second time and third. Why the hell was he blowing up my phone? I opened a text to him. 

Will you stop calling! I am in class. I can’t answer. 

Then step out for a second, kitten X 

No, he isn’t allowed to call me that when I am mad at him. 

No! Go away! 

I will just keep on calling until you answer the phone X 

Why can’t this blooming man take a hint? I knew he meant it, though. He would keep calling until I answered. I put it back into my pocket and slipped out of class. I went to the girls’ bathroom.

I checked my phone and saw he was calling again. I hit the answer button. 

“What do you want, Kylan? I am busy,” I snapped. 

“Excuse me?” 

The authority was back in his voice when he said that. 

“You heard me.” 

“Are you mad at me?” 

“What do you think, Sherlock?” 

The sarcasm dripped from my voice with each word. 

“For last night?” 

What a stupid question to ask. Why else would I be mad at him? Christ, since when did I get sarcastic. 

“Yes, and for interrupting my class,” I barked, “See, if you didn’t want to stay last night, you could have just said that. I wouldn’t have cared, but the fact that you ran away off like that made me angry.” 

I hear him sigh loudly on the other end of the phone. What does he have to sigh about? He is the one that did this. 

“I am sorry, kitten. I shouldn’t have done that.”

“No, you shouldn’t have,” I responded. 

“Let me make it up to you, please?” 

When he said that, an idea came to mind. It may be slightly mean, but I am curious what he will do. 

“No,” I spoke and hung up the phone. 

I wanted to see if he would continue to try or move on. It is maybe slightly dramatic, but I couldn’t help myself. I will call it an experiment of sorts. Kylan called straight back, more than once. I put my phone on silent, something I don’t tend to do. I usually always keep it on vibrate in case of emergencies, but today I will, only for a little while. 

I headed back to class, a text coming through just before I entered the classroom. 

Nola, what the f**k? Will you just talk to me already? I am sorry, OK. It was a d**k move of me. You have the right to be mad at me, but I don’t like being ignored, kitten! X 

I didn’t reply to his text. I strolled back into class and to my seat. I put all my attention back on my work. I didn’t have long left of this class, then I had two more, and I will be done for today. I knew for a fact that my little act would be getting to him. He will be mad, but that was part of the plan. 

I am curious about how the rest of today would go.

I arrived home after classes and headed up to my apartment. Just as I was going to open the door. 

“Nola, I have something here for you that got dropped off,” my neighbour Gigi said. 

She must have heard my key in the door. The walls are paper thin in this building. 

“I am not expecting anything,” I responded, confused. 

“Well, it is for you,” she smiled, “Maybe you have a secret admirer,” she added, giggling. 

I chuckled and nodded. She ran into her apartment then came out with a large box in her hand. It was beautifully wrapped. I thanked her and took it into my apartment. I set my bag down, took a seat on the sofa and put the large box on the table. 

There was an envelope on top of it. I think starting with that would be a good idea. I opened it and saw it was handwritten. The moment my eyes fell on the first line, I knew who it was. Kylan! 

Hello, Kitten, 

I know you are probably still mad at me, but that will not do. I am sorry for what I did to you. You didn’t deserve that. Please let me make it up to you. Meet me tonight? I will text you further details. 

Please wear what is in the box. If you don’t want to meet me, then I understand. But, I would appreciate it if you gave me another chance. 

Hopefully, I will see you tonight 

Kylan X 

I read it more than once. I wonder if he wrote it or got something else to do it? I don’t know, but either way, I was surprised by his words. 

I lay the note down on the table and opened the box. My eyes went wide when I saw what was in it. There were two red roses on top of the dress. I removed them and took the dress out. Oh, wow, it was beautiful. It was a stunning red lace cocktail dress with a high neckline and no sleeves. If Kylan picked this, then he has excellent taste. I looked at the size, and it was mine. How did he know? 

I was eager to try it on. I strolled to my bedroom, stripped down and replaced my clothes with the dress. It was the perfect fit. I stood in front of my mirror to get a better look at it. It wasn’t too tight or short, which I liked. I felt good in it. I smiled as I admired it in the mirror. 

Where did he plan on taking me tonight if he sent me a dress like this to wear? I took it off to hang it up, not wanting it to get creased. I was not expecting him to do something like this. I honestly thought he would have just given up altogether.

Should I give him another chance? I can try, right? But, I swear, if he f***s up again, he can find someone else to, well…fuck. I headed back to the living room to get my cell. I will send him a message. 

Thank you for the beautiful dress and roses. I will meet you tonight, but this is your last chance. If you act like an asshole, then you can find someone else to screw because it won’t be me X 

Thank you. I will send a car for you at seven. I can’t wait to see you in that dress. And I get it. I will be on my best behaviour. See you later, sweetness X

Yes, see you later X 

I am sure Kylan will be surprised by my behaviour since I usually tend to be sweet and quiet. However, I think he has awoken something in me. He seems to bring sides out of me that I didn’t even know existed. I am still trying to work out if that is a good or a bad thing. I can’t even imagine where we will be going tonight since we need to be careful, especially around here. 

I will have to wait and find out, I guess.
