Regret s so weird, after you consciously did something, you regret it, we always justify ourselves by stating that we weren't thinking straight, but we were, it that moment we thought it was right, we think of every action we do, regretting the one that has a bad repercussion on our lives is understandable but is it really helping?

Entering my bedroom I went straight to the bathroom, first removing my clothes I entered the shower to wash, I liked the feminine scent Elide left on my body, but I was sure my wife wasn't going to feel the same about it.

Washing quickly I exited from the shower twenty minutes later with a towel wrapped around my hips, I took the toothbrush and began to brush my teeth, trying not to think about Elide but failing miserably.

Her body, her voice, her touch, she hunted my mind and I couldn't do anything to stop thinking about her.

"Damien" turning my head to see who was calling my name, I almost choked seeing my wife with nothing but a see-through nightstand that barely covered her long tanned legs, looking at her I couldn't help but think about how that piece of clothing would look on Elide.

"Monique, isn't that a little uncomfortable to sleep?" I asked her, looking away.

"Who said I want to sleep in it?" She landed a sensual look on my body, understanding where she was leading too I suppressed a groan of frustration and looked at her, she was an attractive woman, with an amazing body and apparently no so great personality, I used to love that body, but looking at it now, I just hoped she would take something to cover up.

"Monique, not today, I'm really tired" I just couldn't bear the thought of having sex with her after what I did with Elide, and I wasen't the only one.

"But-"

"No buts, I need to sleep" I said coldly, finishing brushing my teeth I put on a pair of black sweatpants and made my way to my bed but before I entered inside Monique stopped me.

"You can sleep somewhere else" Monique was clearly offended by my refusal, her ego was hurt, I've never rejected her, usually she was the one and she was not used to it.

"This is so immature of you" I said and left the room calmly, honestly, I couldn't care less. Walking to the room I use when we have an argument, which is next to Elide's one I enter inside the cover and try to sleep.

The next morning came, I left the room with a headache, trying to sleep that night was totally useless, the thought of Elide being just in the next room made me feel awful, she was probably mad at me, I couldn't blame her, I left like a fucking coward.

I exited the room and something, or more precisely someone bumped into me.

"Sorry" I looked down to see Elide, my hand wrapped around the little of her waist and I yanked her closer to me.

"I should be the one saying sorry" I whispered

"Don't touch me." she said sternly pushing me away from her, she walked downstairs, yeah she was mad.

I went into my room to wear something more appropriate and comfortable than just sweatpants and brushed my teeth, after doing that I quickly went down to join the others for breakfast, the only ones that didn't seem mad at me were Tiffany and Tom.

"Good morning" I greeted.

"Moring"

I sat next to my wife and started eating my food in silence to then go into my office, working for hours.

●●●

"Ugh I can't do this I need to talk to her" I went out of my office, Monique and Andrew were out and Tiffany and Tom were playing out in the pool.

"Grandpa!Grandpa! come and play with use, pleaseee" Tom asked with puppy eyes I sighed knowing I wasn't going to tell him no.

"I need to get changed first" I tell him.

I went upstairs and walked through the corridor, once again someone bumped into me, and that someone was once again Elide, this time wearing nothing but an orange bikini, my eyes roamed on her body scanning shamelessly every inch of it.

"Why does this keep happening?"By the way, my eyes are up here" she said with annoyance.

"Sorry" I muttered, being caught I forcefully looked away.

"Elide, I need to talk to you"

"Sure! After that what are you going to do? leave again?" she spoke with sarcasm.

"Elide" I said in a warning tone

"What?"

"Not here, come" I grabbed her hand and pushed her inside her room.

"I need to go down, Tiffany is waiting for me" she looked and spoke to me in a cold way and that was driving me insane and not in a good way.

"Elide I'm sorry for what-"

"Stop right there, you aren't sorry, based on the way you look at me you would do that again, you don't need to apologize to me, at the end of the day you are married and you have a conscience, even though she is a horrible person that is helping your horrible son"

"Elide stop rolling your eyes and let me finish"

"Fine" she said once again rolling her eyes.

I grabbed her chin with my hand and pulled it closer to mine.

"Stop with that bratty attitude and hear me out" I said sternly.

"I'm sorry for what I did yesterday, running away was stupid of me, I don't regret anything, shit seeing you wearing that makes me want to do it all over again but what you need to understand is that this is so so wrong and will cause us problems, I'm sorry for running away but I'm not sorry for, kissing you, touching you and wanting you" more I spoke more the need kiss her increased.

Her eyes settled on my lips and I could sense she wanted to do just the same thing.

"I...I need to go now" she said leaving the room, who was running away now?

Before I could even think of following her a call stopped me, looking at who was calling me I immediately answered the phone

"Hello?"

"Hello sir"

"Is everything ready?"

"Everything is ready or almost, I need you to make sure of one thing more."

"I'm listening"

Thank you so much for the 5k and sorry for the late update don't forget to vote.

How do you guys pronounce Elide? Because there are different ways to say it, it's an Italian/ Greek name and I pronounce it in the Italian way that is something like (Alide) the e isn't supposed to sound like an I, the Greek pronunciation is (Aleed) and then there is the English pronunciation. Use Google translation if you don't get what I'm trying to say.
