A Story A Day. Story 321 of 365: Tease (Part II).

The week passed slowly for him, since the wedding he had been giving a lot of thought to what had happened. He knew they had accorded it would mean nothing, but it had been so good, so good, he had started to wonder. He wondered why couldn't they do it more often. He suddenly realized that he loved her. Should he tell her? She had been clear, there was nothing else involved, and there would never be. Yet, what if she felt the same?

It was soon clear that she didn't. She sent him a message telling him that maybe they should reach an agreement so whenever one of them had need of it, they could sleep together as long as both of them were still single. He replied that it was okay for him, but inside he felt hurt. She hadn't had second thoughts. They meet on the following Saturday. She was as cool as ever, joking and teasing him about the night they had spent together. He was sulking, silent, smiling awkwardly. She realized something was amiss soon.

-What happens?- she was worried.- Are you okay?

-Yes.- he said unconvincingly. 

-No, you're not. What's on?

-Nothing.- he said looking guilty. 

She connected the dots. 

-No! Tell me it's not that! No, no. We had an agreement! It was only sex, nothing else. Look, you're my best friend, but we all know it wouldn't work. 

-You don't know that.

-I do, that was a big mistake, we shouldn't have done it. 

-But,... 

She left without letting him reply.
