4 4: Why?

Chloe then blushes, because of how close he is and the fact that he seemed to have read her mind. " It just.... it would be a crime if I made you wait outside for a lift." Chloe takes a step back, trying to put distance between him and her. Harmoniously, they step together. Him wanting to keep the closeness, her wanting distance. She had never been this close to another man, other than Phillip. "Ryan, I want to apologize if I mislead you. I have a boyfriend. It would please me greatly if you took a step back."

Ryan enjoyed how he made her feel. With a devilish grin, he stepped back giving her space. "You didn't mislead me. I do hope your boyfriend treats you like a queen. However, Miss Chloe, I should be going. You have my number if you wanna talk I will always listen. Goodnight." With that, he left. Just as fast as he entered her life, he was now gone.

.......

Meanwhile, Phillip drove Sally to her home. On the way, they laughed and carried on about how gullible Chloe was. "I'm glad you drove me home. I can't stand the thought of you being with her." Sally gives Phillip a sad look. "Awe, thanks, sweetie. I'm glad I drove you home as well. It's been a stressful day at work. I need to relax a little before going back to her." Phillip had a simple accounting job at a small unknown firm. His status was a medium working class. Still, it didn't compare to Chloe's status. Currently, she held millions in her savings account. She spends well under what she has, and she doesn't flaunt her money because it always irritated her when others had status and showed it off.

"How long are you going to spend with me before going back to her?" Sally said this as they were pulling up to her house.

"About 20 minutes maybe. I know it's hard on you and I do wish we could spend more time together, however, I have to go back to her." Straining to say the words to her, Phillip gives her a look of sympathy. "Why don't you just leave her and be with me? You like me better anyway. I give you what you want she never will. She told me that tonight. She said she didn't love you and will never give you everything." Sally spoke with disgust in her voice. Thinking about what she could do to make him stay with her and not go back.

"Sally it has been three years I've invested into her. I will get what I want even if I have to take it." He gives Sally a look of satisfaction. "When that happens, I'll leave her, and we can be together then. I care more for you then I do her."

Sally steps out of the car, walks to her door and turns to Phillip. "Until you leave her it's best if you don't join me. No more sex until she is gone." "Sally you can't do this, you love me. Don't make me choose. It won't end well for you. I only sleep with you because she won't have sex with me."

Furious with his words, Sally starts to cry. " Are you serious right now? We both know you don't mean what you're saying. It's cruel of you to say things like that." She storms inside making sure to lock the door behind her so he couldn't follow.

Pissed off, Phillip hits her door and then storms off to his car. He was cursing Chloe for making his life hell. If it wasn't for her, he could have whoever he wanted. If she would just give in, none of this would be happening. To Phillip, it was all Chloe's fault, and he was ready to teach her a lesson.

......

Chloe, now alone in the dead silent cafe, stood like a statue. She is thinking about the man that just left. Wanting to know him wishing to see him. What is this feeling? She has never felt like this before. She finds herself wishing she wasn't with Phillip. That way she wouldn't regret not kissing him and feeling guilty. She was still deep in thought about Ryan when Phillip walked in startling her. Chloe jumps, "What are you doing here? I thought you were taking Sally home." Phillip looks at her with disdain in his eyes. Anger emerges from his voice. "I did take her home. What are you doing just standing here?" Chloe then realized that she had been standing for 30 minutes now. With Ryan's face freshly meshed in her mind. His lips, his eyes, his body, that voice she shivers while thinking about it. She looks at Phillip and realizes how plain he is. "Phillip, why are we still together?"
