Chapter 13 THE GUEST
I couldn't move when I saw Kyla standing in front of me. My best friend and my husband's beloved woman.
"Hey Ley, haven't you miss me?" she asked me then looked at Hunter as if wondering.
Hunter looks at me as if he wants to kill me. That warned look that says, I should have to please Kyla or else something might gonna happened.
"Of course I did. How are you?" I asked like nothing wrong.
"I'm good, I thought you are not happy to see me, At first it is like I am nothing, you looked surprised but not happy," she said then looked at Hunter.
'Should I be happy Kyla?'
Now you're here and you can only mess with us.
"It's not like that Ky, I'm just really tired these past few days. But believe me, I am happy to see you." I smiled and then motioned for him to sit down.
I saw Hunter walked through the bar section and took some wine. She was staring at Kyla and me and every time she looked at me there was no denying that there were threats in her eyes.
"I'm glad to hear that. I'm so fucking miss you, Ley," she said then held my hand. Even though I couldn't understand what she said, I just smiled. "Ow, by the way, I brought you some present, just like the old-time." She laughed and said then took something in her bag.
If this scenario happens before this complicated situation between me and Hunter. I would have jumped for joy. She gives an antique collection of a clock. She knows that I love to collect antiques around the world and some of my collections were her present.
"Do you like it?" she asked.
"Of course, I am."
Kyla and I sat on the sofa as we talked. She even held my hand as if nothing had happened. She will look at Hunter and they're both smiling at each other. Then Kyla will talk to me again about her life while she was away. But, we were not talking or she didn't mention anything about Hunter and me.
"Ley are you ok?" she asked then looked at Hunter.
"Yeah,"
"I thought you're not listening," she said. "And I thought we wouldn't go back to the way we were Ley. You know you're the only one who understands me. I thought I would lose you forever." She suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me into a hug.
I was surprised by what she did, but I still hugged her back even though I could not feel her sincerity.
She's right, I know her so more than she knows herself. That means that I know if what she's showing is true or not.
"I miss you, Ley, I miss you so much," She cried and said. Maybe you will think it was really true? "I'm so happy that everything is ok now."
There I shook my head, what is the situation with us now?
What Hunter told her is I don't know. I am just wondering why she acted like this.
"Baby, I think you need to rest," Hunter called to Kyla as he approached us. He held Kyla's hand for support.
"Ok sweetheart," she replied then looked at me. "Let's talk again tomorrow, Ley. I owe you a lot of stories." She stood up and hugged me again.
When Kyla stood up they kissed in front of me while hugging. I averted my eyes because I didn't want to look at them because I was hurting.
They left together but before they could get away from me I called Hunter.
"Hunter." They turned to me at once. I want to talk to him. I wanted to know what was going on and what they talked about with Kyla and why it seemed like Kyla is at ease.
"Something wrong?" Kyla asked while looking at me.
"No, nothing Ky. I just want to talk to Hunter about some personal. About the house, can we Hunter?" he looked at me first then looked at Kyla.
"Just wait for me inside," he said to Kylie then kissed her on the forehead. Kyla left, waiting for him to enter his room.
"What do you want?" Hunter asked me.
"Why is Kyla here?" I asked directly. He smirked then looked at the door of his room. And when he saw Kyla going inside he came closer to me.
"You're questioning me? Do you forget that this is my house?" Disgusted he says that obviously suppresses anger. I was surprised when he held my arm tightly. "It's
my house and I have the right to bring whoever I want to bring here."
"Hunter, I'm hurt." I smiled and told him because I didn't want him to be angry with me. He stared at me as if wondering.
"Crazy," he said then released me.
"I don't want Kyla here," I said and I could see how annoyed she was.
"This is my house."
"I'm your wife."
"Fake wife," he repeated.
"What if my family or your family comes?" He calmed down a bit and then smiled foolishly.
"Kyla visited you. Simple as that." Then lightly tapped my face.
"I love you." He just looked at me as if no one had heard. "I love you, so even if I endure, I will accept. I hope that one day you will love me too." He stepped forward and closer. It is like we have a one-inch gap between our noses.
"It wouldn't happen, Ley. It won't, so let go, free yourself, have pity on yourself. "
Then what?
They will be free, while I will be left alone.
I have endured this long. My body just hurts. Only my heart is struggling but I can still fight and I will fight as far as my madness takes me.
"I do not want to lose you."
"Have mercy on yourself. It's just my body with you, Ley, it's just a paper you're holding. But not my whole being. Especially not my heart."
"But that paper is the strongest for me to say that you are mine, Hunter. You're mine and you belong to me. "He smiled.
"Let's see how long you'll last. It's just a matter of time and you will end up in a mental hospital." He said and then turn away.
He was about to leave when I suddenly hugged him, I felt his shock but remain calm.
"Hunter, why can't you love me?" I asked as if I am started to cry.
"I told you because you're not Kyla." Then he tried to remove my hand but I tightened my grip on him.
"I'm going to try to be like her. Just give me a chance."
"That won't happen. You will never, ever be like Kyla."
Until he finally removed my hand and walked towards his room.
