Awaiting Problem

Kyle

I stepped out of the elevator into the living room of my penthouse.

After I moved out from the house I stayed with Hayley and the kids, I took a favor from a friend and got the penthouse as a temporary residence. It was closer to work and had a great view.

Damn, I was so tired and I wanted to fall into bed so badly but first I need to get food from the kitchen.

"Welcome home babe." A sultry voice made me yelp in shock.

"Simone. What are you doing here?" She was sitting on the black couch shrouded in the shadows. I liked leaving the house in shadows when I wasn't around.

"Kyle. Obviously waiting for you, I got worried and came here. Where have you been? I've calling you nonstop and your phone was switched off."

What was I thinking giving her the passkey to the elevator?

"You know where I've been. We've talked about it this afternoon. I was with my kids and my phone was switched off." I shrugged off my suit jacket dropping it on the couch.

I had purposely switched off my phone not that I'll ever tell her.

"It's okay. There's no need to fight. I know that you are just tolerating Hayley because of the kids. It's fine besides that's not why I'm here." She stood making her way to me.

I stood still with my hands folded watching her. As she stepped into the light, I could see she was wearing a lace robe and it was tied tightly showcasing her snatched waist.

"Simone." I knew where this was going. She was certainly dressed in lingerie.

"We could perhaps finish.. this conversation in the bedroom." She placed her hand on my chest unbuttoning my dress shirt.

"Simone I'm tired." I wasn't in the mood to get frisky tonight not after the day I had.

"I could help you destress, you know your favorite way with me on top." She smiled coyly dragging one finger from my naked chest downwards.

"Simone. Please stop." I caught her slender wrist preventing her hand from landing on my groin.

"I could..." She opened her robe and I was right. She had on a pretty skimpy underwear.

"Just stop Simone." I couldn't even muster up an erection to prove how drained I was.

"But Kyle.." She looked confused that I had turned her down.

"It's not you. I'm just tired and I need to rest. I'm going to take a bath." I turned returning b

"Is this about Hayley? Because ever since you slept with her, we haven't been intimate and it's been two weeks!" Her demeanor changed as she yelled at my back.

"There we go again. Bringing up Hayley anytime we get to talk. Why do you bring her up every time we fight?

"Seriously? Kyle? You are defending her now?"

"I'm not defending her. I am only saying the truth. That woman has done nothing wrong but just suffer because of our selfish desires." I threw at her fed up with her unnecessary tantrums.

"I can't believe that you are saying this. Supporting the woman that kept us apart for three good years!" She flung at her with tears in her eyes.

I sighed closing my eyes. I could already feel a headache forming. Simone always had a way for using her tears to get her way, and I was the sucker who always fell for it.

Gosh, I wasn't thinking properly now.

"Please Simone, I don't have the mental strength to deal with you right now. I came home with the intention to relax but.."

"What's that supposed to mean? Are you saying I'm invading your space?"

"I didn't say that." The situation has gotten out of hand.

"Goodnight Kyle Banes." She tied her robe, picked up her bag and stormed out.

"Simone." I called after her but she left in just her robe. I didn't go after her, too tired to do that.

I'll call her tomorrow to smooth things out.

Right now I was going to collapse if I didn't rest soon.

I woke up the next morning extremely early at 5pm like I always do but feeling more refreshed. I brushed my teeth, drew on a T-shirt and some gym shorts t go work out.

Thankfully the penthouse had a private gym where I could relieve myself and work out to stupor.

After working out, I took a shower and then made my way to the kitchen.

My phone rang distracting me from the eggs I was stirring on the frypan.

"Hello mom. Good morning." I wondered why she was calling.

"Good morning Kyle. How are you?"

"I'm fine. How is Pops?"

"He's fine though you can come check on him next week for dinner. It would have been nice if Hayley and the kids can make it." My mother mused.

I tried not to groan at her poor skills of trying to make me feel guilty. I have had enough of that from Simone.

"So if that the only reason you are calling?" I asked her switching off the electric cooker.

"You naughty boy. Can't I call my only child? Besides have you spoken with Hayley recently? You both are adults and should handle this issue like one. If you ask me I would say you guys should get back together. Easy peasy for everyone involved including the kids." Her tone was suggestive.

It was no secret that my mother loved Hayley like a daughter not to add to the fact that she was best friends with Hayley's mother.

"I did speak with her yesterday after I visited through kids. We have bih agreed to be civil to one another and co parent our kids properly." I

"You went there yesterday? Was that the reason your phone was switched off? What time did you come back home?" She asked.

"Yes and I came back home by 10pm."

Her silence was enough to let me on what she was thinking. If only she knew that Hayley and I had hooked up once after our separation.

"Mom. You better stop whatever thoughts you are thinking." I told her off.

"Okay, son. Whatever makes you happy. I won't keep you for long anyway. Do make it for dinner next week, you father and I will be waiting."

"Sure thing mom."
