"You're nuts!"
Freeing herself away from Black, the woman ran away as fast as she could. Though she was already out of breath, she didn't stop until she was at a safe distance away from Black's house. Looking back, she shouted and cursed at the damn house with all her might.
After Black kicked out of the woman, he walked into his bedroom, annoyed and vexed as ever. He lied down on the bed and stared at the ceiling, not sleepy at all.
He kept thinking about what happened today. This morning, he came across Holley and Charles, who were very intimate with each other. Just now, Holley ran away, angry and sad after seeing him on top of another woman.
'Damn it!' Black cursed, punching the pillow beside him. On the back of his mind, Black regretted that he had fallen in love with such a woman.
He thought about the time he spent with her, every twinkle and smile she made. The way she looked at him, her sexy voice, their interactions, and all the little things that drove him crazy at that time. Now all those memories were torturing him. Everything just turned into his saddest reminiscence.
Right at this moment, Black wished he had never met Holley. In that way, he would be much happier with his easy-go-lucky way of life. Commitments, strings and attachment were the reasons why he hated having intimate and long relationships.
As stubborn as he was, Black wasn't an emotional person before he met Holley. He used to be free and had no intention of settling down, not to mention being emotionally influenced by a woman.
Being desolate and caught up in a situation as this while slumped on his bed, Black pitied himself and looked down upon the idea that he was turning into an emotional man.
Meanwhile, Holley didn't get home until midnight.
With everything that happened earlier, she felt exhausted. She tossed and turned in bed but couldn't fall asleep, no matter how hard she forced to close her eyes.
As long as she thought about Black's betrayal, she felt furious and sad. Although an hour passed after that incident, the scene was still vivid in her head.
She was afraid that she would lose Black just like that, which, as for her, would mean that she would lose everything. It was because, at the time being, Black was the only person who would offer her help and support unconditionally.
"No! I wouldn't let that happen," she thought. Weighing things out, Holley couldn't lose Black just like that. She needed him, not because she loved him, but for business reasons.
Thinking things over, she realized that she had to do something to win back his heart. After all, Black was important to her right now. He was essential and irreplaceable, thus she must do everything to mend what was broken between them.
Yet, thinking about how worst the problem was, she had no idea what she could do to win back his heart. Besides, Charles stood in their way. She must think of a way to make Black believe that she had nothing to do with Charles.
Lying in her bed, Holley thought about it for a long time before she finally came up with a vague idea.
Inside her, Holley was convinced that Black still loved her. Whenever people loved someone, there would be a weakness at some point. If Holley could find out Black's weakness, she could make use of it and make him trust her again.
All her life, Holley was a doer. She jumped out of her bed immediately, picked out a strapless top and black hot pants from her closet. Her hourglass figure looked very sexy in the mirror. Holley then put on a coat and walked out of the door.
It was midnight and the late evening chill greeted her as she made her way to her car.
Stepping on the accelerator, Holley drove to a bar and parked outside. She took off her coat before she walked inside.
Although it was midnight, the bar was bustling. The lights were dim, creating an atmosphere that would turn people's intimate desires. Everyone was drinking, dancing or flirting with strangers.
Looking daring and ravishing on her outfit, Holley sat down in front of the counter. Just a few seconds after she sat down, some men around her lay their eyes on her, wanting to hit on her.
