Shouldn't Have Kissed You novel Chapter 38

"What's going on here?"

That was the first thing that came out of his mouth. He didn't know why but he wasn't planning on saying those words when he just walked in to find his wife on top of her male best friend. His heart was beating furiously and he felt like grabbing Mr. Ambrose throat and struggling him to death.

How dare he? He didn't even respect another man's matrimonial bed. Someone like him did deserve to see another day light. How could he. Chris heard his hand hurt only to realize that both his hands were in a fist. The nails dug deeper in his skin but he didn't care. His briefcase was long on the floor next to him.

"It's not what it looks like, Chris." That was Maya and he didn't know why her voice felt so far when she was so near.

"Get out." Again, he had no idea of what he was saying. It's like his mouth had a mind of its own. "Now, out!" He was shouting at Leonel.

Of course that's not his heart wanted. He want to know if Maya was in love with her friend. He wanted to hear both sides when they were both around but his mouth wasn't letting him do that. Instead it said things that he didn't mean to say. He just wanted answer before he did what he had planned to do.

Chris watched Leonel move towards the door and just happened that he was standing there. Looking at both of them as his jaws gritted.

"It may seem as a bad picture Mr. Rollins," Leonel began when he stood next to Chris. "But I assure you that nothing happened between your wife and I."

"I don't want to see you around here. Ever again. Now get the hell out of my house."

"Chris." Maya called him. "You're being unreasonable."

"I'm being unreasonable?"

"It's okay." Leonel said before Maya could answer him. "I don't want things to get worse than they already are because of me."

Chris turned to watch Leonel walk away. When turned again, Maya was picking the shopping bag from the bed. She didn't glance at him, instead she walked to her suitcase and picked her clothes then walked to the bathroom.

That had him wondering if he were Leonel, would she change in the bathroom or in front of him? Was he wrong to think that? This was the first time he saw her on a loose towel and she was top of another man.

Another man that wasn't him. Someone else who she felt comfortable being on top off him. The closes she has ever got near him was when he pretended to be high. That was the closes and she would even let him do anything with her. Not even cuddling but she was okay being on top of Leonel.

It hurt him. More than it was supposed to hurt. It did. What if he hadn't arrived on time? What if he had delayed with one minute. Then what? He would find the two rolling in the hay without carrying where they were? Would Maya be capable of doing that to him?

But again, what had he done for her not to betray him. He had humiliated her before. With every chance he got, he did it over and over again. He gave her hatred. He showed her not mercy at all. Then how wouldn't she not betray him.

Chris remember when he got back from his jogging only to find her still laying on the couch. That was so much unlike her. He asked her what was wrong and she said she didn't feel okay. But what did he do? He left her laying on the couch and went to work.

He didn't even fetch her any kinda painkillers just because she said she would be okay. Then what would make her not love another man? He was there when she needed someone to be around her. To cheer her up. Leonel was there. And he, he was busy making more money for himself when he already had more than he needed.

Chris hated himself more that now he thought of it. It would have been his fault if she would have slept with her friend. His and no one else. And to think he came home early to make it up for her. He had come to have a online conference with the board at home just to watch over his wife.

The bathroom door opened and Maya walked out wearing a black jeans and a tee shirt. Her hair was in ponytail and she wore no smile of her face. But again how could she when she had been caught in action with another man on his bed?

"So your not going to say anything?" His mouth cell wasn't letting him thing first before he spoke. "After what I got to see, you're going to say anything?"

Chris watched her seat on the couch.

"What do you want me to say, Chris?"

"That your sorry."

"Sorry." She was fighting it. He could see it in her eyes how hard she was fighting not to burst in frustration. "For what exactly? For you telling my best friend never to come around me?"

"Maya, you guys were in our matrimonial room."

"Matrimonial?" And there it was. What she had been fighting all this while. Since he asked Leonel to leave. "What is so matrimonial here, Chris? What, please make me see it."

Chris was about to lash out on her but this time, he controlled his mouth. He didn't want to fight her over nothing. Yes, it was nothing. There was nothing matrimonial about the room. Nothing. To think that he shared bed with her only ones and they did nothing.

The only think he managed to do was to give her a hickey. That's what he managed to do the whole night they shared bed. To even think that he has never kissed her. God, he even could count the times he has kissed her and it was almost a year since they got married. A whole year and he kissed her twice in his life. Once in their marriage and that's because he thought she was someone else.

So, there was nothing matrimonial about this bedroom. Nothing apart from two friends if he could still call her his friend lived in it. Nothing special at all.

"Do you love him?" Chris asked as polite as he could.

His heart was beating way too fast for his own liking. He just wanted to know where he stood in her life. To know if he had a chance with her at all for that matter.

Maya looked up to lock her gaze with his. "I do love him, Chris." His heart sunk. "But I'm not in love with him."

"Okay." He breathed a breath of relief. "Did you guys kiss. I mean, have you ever kissed?"

"We didn't and I've never kissed Leonel." She was being sincere and he could tell it. "That idea has never even crossed my mind. It's only today."

"Do you think that he could be a great lover?"

"Of course, but not for me." She got up from her seat. "He is too full of himself for my own liking."

"Maya...."

"Why are you asking me this questions, Chris?"

To know where I stand.

But he wasn't about to say that out loud. He wasn't going to tell her that. He was about to say something when his phone went off. It was his PA. He knew what he wanted to tell him so he picked up the call.

"Please cancel the rest of the meetings." And he hung up.

He wasn't about to let this opportunity go. Again, when he was about to talk, her phone went off from the bed. He picked it up to only come face to face with Leone's name on the screen with two heart emoji.

"What's the meaning of this?"

"Nothing." She pulled the phone away from his grasps.
