One Wild Night

Chapter 461: Text From Ex.

Once Sonia got to the bedroom, she frowned when she realized that Bryan was in the shower. Why was he bathing without her when they had made it a habit to always shower together?         

    

Sonia walked over to the door, “How can you shower without me?” She asked from the doorway, but Bryan ignored her as he continued to lather his body with soap.     

Seeing that he was bent on ignoring her, Sonia locked the bedroom door and took off her clothes before joining him in the shower.      

Immediately she approached him, Bryan turned his back to her, “You are going to catch a cold,” he told her grudgingly, reminding her that she needed to cover her hair.      

“So you are talking to me now? No longer stuffing your ear with your airpod or ignoring me?” Sonia asked as she wrapped both arms around his waist and kissed his back.     

“Don’t do that,” Bryan said grudgingly wanting to finish up quickly and leave, but she held on and slowly began to glide both hands up and down his body.     

While one hand went up his abdomen, the other went to his groin, and Bryan sucked in a breath when she grabbed his cock, making it jerk in her hand.      

“Why not?” Sonia asked in a husky whisper as she moved her hand up and down the entire length of it.     

“I don’t…” Bryan tried to speak but couldn’t concentrate because all the blood in his brain had gathered in his groin.      

“You don’t what?” She asked in a sultry voice as she walked around him and came to stand in front of him without letting go of his cock.     

“Sonia…” Bryan swallowed when she went on her knees in front of him and kissed the tip of his cock while looking into his eyes.      

“Let’s fuck and make up,” she suggested, but Bryan was not having that. His ego was more important to him at the moment than sex. He didn’t want to be used or feel so.     

“No. I don’t want to. Just… stop,” Bryan said, trying to keep his head straight, despite the distraction of her hand on his cock, and Sonia reluctantly let go of it.     

“Have you called Lucy yet?” He asked, and Sonia shook her head as she stood to face him.      

“I believe Lucy can wait. But this can’t wait,” Sonia said, but Bryan shook his head as he stepped away from her.     

“I don’t think so. You should call her first. That way I don’t have to worry about you zoning out halfway while I make love to you,” Bryan said in a tight voice wanting to turn away, but Sonia held his hand.     

“Did I hurt your feelings that much?” She asked with a frown.     

Bryan turned away, not wanting her to see the hurt in his eyes. For someone like him who was used to being the center of attention, he had felt more than a little bit hurt by her behavior earlier especially since he had really wanted to clear some doubts he was having. Her behavior had only made it worse.     

“Bryan?” Sonia called as she cupped his face in her hands and held him so she could look into his face.      

“It’s nothing,” Bryan said without meeting her gaze.      

“If you are hurt, then it’s not nothing. I’m sorry about earlier,” she said apologetically as she raised herself on tiptoe and kissed the tip of his nose.     

“What are you sorry for?” Bryan asked, wanting to know if she understood what he was upset about.     

“For not giving you my attention,” she said, but Bryan shook his head.      

“Do you realize that you always put your relationship with Lucy before us?” Bryan asked, and Sonia frowned as she let her hands drop to her sides.     

“Always? What do you mean always?”     

“You broke up with me because you wanted to be with he….”         

    

“That was a one-time thing, and you know why I did that. I don’t get why you are bringing that up right now,” Sonia cut in with an annoyed expression.     

“You don’t?”      

“Are you jealous of Lucy?” She asked incredulously, not sure she liked Bryan’s attitude.     

“I’m not jealous of her. I respect and care about her, and I doubt she is handling her relationship with Tom the way you are handling ours. How would you feel if the situation was reversed and I’m too busy thinking about Matt to give you my attention?” Bryan asked, and Sonia frowned.     

“I’m not sure I would feel a certain way. I understand that Matt is your best friend so it’s only natural that you worry about him.”     

“Really? Matt is my best friend, but you are my girlfriend. I would never let my relationship with Matt affect what I have with you. I will never put my relationship with anyone else before ours,” Bryan said, and Sonia sighed.      

“Babe, I don’t know what you are thinking, but I love you. I don’t think there is any room for comparison between our relationship and mine with Lucy,” Sonia said as she looked into his eyes.     

“You don’t act like I’m your boyfriend. You behave as if I’m just your fuck buddy or a character in your story,” Bryan said, and Sonia looked at him incredulously.     

“Christ! Where is all this coming from? Just because I was absentminded for a couple of hours, you’ve jumped to these conclusions already?” Sonia asked, and Bryan shook his head.     

“It’s not just that. It’s more than that,” Bryan said with a frown, not knowing how best to express how he was feeling without sounding like an insecure or whiny boyfriend.     

He wasn’t usually the type to feel insecure but right now he was feeling that way and he couldn’t even explain why. Perhaps it had something to do with the disturbing text he had received earlier that morning from someone who claimed to be her ex-boyfriend.      

It had taken his mind back to something he had read in her journal in the past but hadn’t attached much meaning to. Her attitude all morning didn’t help matters either, especially when he remembered her complaint the previous day about their relationship lacking conflict. He was beginning to feel like he was boring her or something.     

“Your anger isn’t about what happened in the car or about Lucy, is it?” Sonia asked with a frown, and Bryan shrugged.      

“I don’t know,” Bryan said without meeting her gaze.     

“Do you doubt that I love you?” Sonia asked with a frown, and Bryan shrugged once again.     

“I don’t know. You tell me,” Bryan said, and Sonia sighed.     

“Is there something you want to say to me?” Sonia asked as she reached out and turned off the shower. It was obvious they weren’t going to be having a nice time in the shower anymore, so she grabbed the towel on the railing and handed it to him, but he didn’t take it.     

“You should use it on your hair,” he said as he walked out of the bathroom into the bedroom.     

Sonia followed him and stood some feet away from him as she watched him quietly while he opened his bag and took out another towel to dry his body.     

“Talk to me, Bryan. What’s going on?” She asked with a worried frown as she wrapped the towel around her body.     

“Do you know any Derek?” Bryan asked without looking at her, and Sonia frowned.     

“Derek? Yes. My ex-boyfriend. Why?” She asked, wondering how he knew about Derek, and why he was talking about him.      

“The male leads in your stories are usually guys you’ve been with, am I wrong?” Bryan asked as he turned to look at her, and her frown deepened.     

“What are you talking about?” She asked in confusion, wondering why he was jumping to another subject.     

“The male lead in your last story was Derek. And the male lead in the story before the last was the guy you dated before Derek. Now I’m the male lead in this story, am I right?” Bryan asked, and Sonia blinked in surprise as she looked at him.          

    

“Who told you all this?”     

“Am I right or wrong?” Bryan asked, but Sonia said nothing as she looked at him.     

“How did you know about Derek? And who told you he was the male lead I wrote about in my last story?” Sonia asked after some time.     

“I received an Instagram text from him. He wanted to warn me beforehand that you are a man-eater, and he wanted to be sure I knew about it. He also told me how good you are in bed and how easily you move on when you are bored so he advised me to enjoy myself while it lasts. He even sent me some very convincing photo evidence.”     

“Photos? He sent you photos?” Why would Derek do something like that?     

“I’m boring you already, am I not? All that talk about not having enough conflict and wanting to change the main characters in your story, is because you are bored, isn’t it?” Bryan asked without answering her question.      

“Bryan…”      

“Who will be the male lead in your next story?” Bryan asked without letting her speak, and Sonia’s heart skipped a beat as she took a step forward.     

“I’m not sure what Derek told you, but you’ve been with countless ladies in the past and I’ve never judged you because of that,” Sonia said, and Bryan shook his head.      

“It’s not just about your past. I saw your journal. I saw the initial plot of your story before you changed it. You planned on taming me by making me fall in love with you and getting you pregnant, then you would leave with the baby,” Bryan said, and Sonia frowned.      

“That was just a story plot. And you saw it, I changed it,” she pointed out, but Bryan shook his head.      

“You said the story was a mix of fiction and nonfiction. I don’t know what part is real and what part is not. I don’t want to be taken for a fool. I don’t want to just be used to satisfy your sexual cravings or be your muse for your next big story” Bryan said, and Sonia looked at him like she had been slapped, but before she could respond, a knock sounded on the door.     

“Sony, we are ready to leave,” Evelyn called out.     

“I will join you soon,” Sonia called back and sighed as she faced Bryan who was already dressing up.     

“I don’t know what to say to you right now. I’m both surprised and disappointed that you are saying all this. I’m accompanying your parents to visit Lucy’s parents. Let’s talk later,” Sonia said before returning to the bathroom to shower.     

By the time she got out of the bathroom, Bryan had left. She tried not to feel too disappointed as she also dressed up to leave.
