Instinct: Chapter 1 (Part 3)

Leo

When I woke I found her arms wrapped around my waist and her pale face pressed against my back. As the memory of the night came back to me I rolled over and pushed her away as I asked the question that had troubled me all night, “Where have you been?!”

Her innocent green eyes glistened with merriment, “I have been waiting for you to wake up.” Her fingers slid down my body and inside my pants and her breath tickled my neck as she let out an aroused sigh.

The pain was still too raw. I didn‘t even want to think where those dirty hands of hers had been. I grabbed her wrist, stopping her playful fondle and demanded the truth, “Where were you last night?”

For a moment she looked as if I had caught her red handed. Then I wondered if perhaps she was just shocked by my tone but the words soon washed over her expression and it was replaced with confusion, “Here with you?”

“Last night, I woke and you were gone!” I said accusingly. “I waited and you never came back.”

Her bright eyes sparkled with innocence, “I’m sorry honey, I really don’t know what you ‘re talking about.” She sighed. “Are you sure it wasn’t a dream?”

The explanation seemed logical and made sense, so I reluctantly accepted her reasoning. Maybe it had just been a very vivid dream about her leaving me, but I couldn't shake the feeling of how real it had felt and that made it difficult to forget. Kate evidently had decided the conversation was over though. She got up and threw on her dressing gown and found myself a little disappointed that her sexual advances had ceased. I felt deflated as she left me to make herself breakfast.

My eyes drifted to the bedside table and I saw the well thumbed suduko book from the previous night. I opened it up and saw the completed puzzles in an effort to calm my mind, this small crumb of evidence was all I had as proof that yesterday was not a dream and I found myself disagreeing with Kate's theory. There was just one word written on each page, scribbled in the corner in my handwriting, I’d written “why?”. The single word echoed in my mind and I could find no salvation.
