Felix's POV
I rushed to my bathroom that morning; I could not believe that I had actually woken up late. The clock in my room read half past six, whereas I was supposed to have gotten up at six thirty that morning.
I could not possibly blame myself; it was all Cindy's fault. During the night, I could not manage to sleep, dreams of Cindy naked in the bathroom, on my couch and most importantly in my bed haunted me.
I got into the shower and that was exactly what I needed to calm the growing ache that Cindy had caused. I got out from the shower, only to hear my phone ring. I looked at the caller ID and it was no one other than my personal assistant, someone I was not looking forward to hearing.
"Hello, what is it?" I answered, wasting no time to find out what it was that she wanted.
"Good morning Mr. Martini, I just called to inquire about whether you would be coming to work or not?" She asked me.
"I'm actually on my way to work. Why are you asking, did my faithful employees miss me?" I cracked a light joke and heard her giggling on the other end of the phone. I knew that I was not a horrible boss but I was definitely not the type to crack jokes with my staff.
"Well I just called to inform you that Mr. Kyle is here and is demanding to see you urgently" she informed me. I felt bad for her; dealing with Kyle was not for the faint hearted and I knew that better than anyone did.
"Okay. Tell him I'm on my way" I hurriedly climbed down the steps, only to find Cindy in the kitchen, smiling down at her phone. I did not mind her having a phone but her smiling down at her phone made me feel unsettled.
"What's so funny?" I asked Cindy, she quickly jumped up and hid her phone behind her.
"Nothing sir" she answered. I was irritated that she could have the guts to lie to me but instead of letting it go, I pushed for more information from her.
"Nothing? I walk into the kitchen and my maid has no food set for me and—"
"Sir, but your food is already on the table" Cindy pointed at the dining table. I looked at the table and I saw my breakfast neatly placed onto it. I felt embarrassed that I had missed that and it was right in front of me.
"You know what, never mind I'm not even hungry anymore!" I reached for my brief case and left the house without another word, still furious and clenching my teeth, that Cindy had begun lying to me.
I had arrived at my office headquarters, angrier than I have ever remembered being and to make matters worse Kyle was there. I did not greet him, rather I signaled him to follow me and Kyle did just that. I unlocked my office door and Kyle followed behind me.
"Kyle shut the door behind you" I told him, Kyle did as I had instructed him to do and he smiled at me.
"You know I could not believe it when your personal assistant informed me that you were not at work. I mean seriously I—" I interrupted Kyle as I was in no mood for anything that he had to say. As far as I was concerned, Kyle's fate was sealed.
"Say what you're here for or get out of my office Kyle, because I'm in no mood for your crap!" I yelled at him and Kyle stared at me, stunned at my outburst but sadly, I myself was shocked at my outburst too.
Shit! Cindy what have you done to me? I questioned myself inwardly.
"Okay since you're not interested in my long and sad story, I came to ask you for—"
"How much?" I asked Kyle, knowing just what he came to my office to do. Kyle stared at me, confused. Unfortunately, for Kyle, I was slowly losing my patience with her.
"Kyle, how much money is it that you want?" I asked him again.
"Well it's not that much—" Kyle tried to explain but he simply infuriated me the more.
"I said how much! How much money does it take to keep you from bothering my already crappy day!" I yelled at him.
"Well, it's just a tiny or little sum of ten thousand dollars" Kyle told me.
"Done! My PA will write you a cheque and you will receive it today. Thank you for the visit and have a great day" I informed Kyle angrily. I sank down on my office chair and began typing away on my laptop. Still sensing the presence of someone, I looked up; low and behold, it was Kyle staring at me.
"Kyle I really—" I tried telling Kyle but he interrupted me before I could get my point across.
"It's that girl, right?" Kyle asked me, I raised my eyebrow, confused as to whom Kyle was speaking about.
"What are you talking about?" I asked Kyle.
"Ever since I brought that girl to your house, you've not been the same again. You miss work, arrive late at work and even go as far as leaving work early. I'm no genius but I know that this isn't a coincidence" Kyle told me and this made me clench my fist bellow my table, I almost felt like punching the hell out of him.
"Kyle I suggest you leave my office, unless you really don't want that cheque" I informed him but Kyle did not seem bothered by it.
"No need to get sentimental about it. So what is it, does she give a mean blow job or—" Like lightning speed, I got up from my chair and punched Kyle across the face. I felt no remorse watching Kyle on the floor, wiping blood from his bleeding nose. All I could think about was how he had disrespected Cindy.
"Don't you ever talk about Cindy like that, do you hear me?"
I watched Kyle pick himself up from the floor and I did not feel bad about it, instead I wanted to hurt him more than I had hurt him.
"So it's gotten this bad. What happened to 'bro's before whores'? I cannot believe that my own friend screwing me over cause of some—"
"Kyle, I suggest you choose your words carefully or they might just be your last" I threatened him, knowing quite well that I would ruin him if he tried.
"You know what?" Kyle asked me.
"What?" I asked Kyle as the blood in my veins boiled, ready to throw the next punch.
"Fuck you Felix, fuck you the same way you fuck her!" I could not control my anger for him any longer, but I had to do what had to be done.
"Kyle, leave my office and forget about the money" I informed him, for disrespecting Cindy he would not receive a single cent from me.
"You're not serious right, Felix you're not serious?" Kyle asked me, searching my eyes as to see if I had been joking with him.
"I've never been this serious in my life. Get out" I yelled at him and pointed my index finger for him to walk out the door.
"It's cool, I'll leave. But I wonder what people will say if they found out that the great and mighty Felix Martini has a slave or rather an illegal immigrant living in his house?" Kyle threatened me and that did not sit well with me.
I took a few steps towards Kyle, making dead sure that I looked dead into his eyes.
"Don't you ever threaten me and the last time I checked, you are the one who brought her and her to my house. So unless you don't want to ever find out how the inside of a prison cell looks like, you'd do yourself a great favor by simply shutting up" I warned him and by the look of things, Kyle was shook by my threat.
"Felix my friend, you're going to regret what you're doing to me and in the end you'll find out why I never ever lose a fight" Kyle warned me.
"Well that's good to know; please you may now leave my office" I asked him more calmly.
"You'll—"
"Unless you want me to call security to come in here and drag you out of my office, please"
I watched as Kyle's angry eyes stared at me one more time. He walked out of my office, slamming the door behind him. I quickly took my telephone from my desk and called down stairs.
"Yes Mr—"
"If Kyle ever comes to my office, don't let him in" I ordered my PA
"But sir—"
"I said, if Kyle ever comes to my office again do not let him enter okay" I repeated myself, hoping that she had gotten the message through her skull.
"Yes sir, I understand" I ended the call, letting out a breath and hoping that it would calm me down.
Damn you Cindy, look what you're doing to me!
I angrily thought to myself. I looked around my empty office; I no longer felt the need to consume myself in my work, because every part of me wanted to be alone with Cindy. My Cindy.
