So this is the second chapter of our passionating love story. Actually I've finsihed all the 5 chappies (yes, there's only 5) but I'm posting progressively so you won't be overcharged by it. Though I don't think you are since they're so short but whatever. Crazy things often happen in this story...

Chapter 2:

When she opened the red door for the second time this afternoon, Pandy mustered all her strength to remain calm. She had poured all her torments into the slut. All that remained inside her was grudge and curiosity. The smell of food welcomed her as she stepped through the threshold. Is he trying to make me forgive him?

"Good evening," Kai said from the kitchen.

Pandy threw her bag on the floor and faced her husband. The latter was standing with his back to her, working on the cooker. Nevertheless she could take a full view of his athletic body and slate hair.

"Hard work today?" he asked, suddenly turning around holding the pan.

"It's okay," she shrugged.

They settled themselves in the dining room. It seemed strangely empty at two, especially that Kai had prepared so many dished. Pandy didn't have much appetite that night. But she stuffed food down her throat anyway because she didn't want to give herself away.

"You've forgotten your sketchpads," Kai said again.

"Yeah," Pandy managed to answer through munching. "I was out to see a friend."

They didn't say anything other from that. Kai was the silent type anyway but Pandy used to be there to brighten the atmosphere. Tonight, she just washed the dishes while he got ready to go to bed.

When she rejoined him, he was reading a book. But he put it down the minute she came in and switched off the light. Pandy got under the sheets with the awful feeling that she was sleeping in another person's place.

"Who's the friend you went to see?" Kai suddenly asked.

"A super hot female," Pandy answered. "Why do you care?"

"You're not friends, are you?"

"No. We've just met actually and we've fucked."

Pandy waited for Kai's reaction but it was his usual silence.

"What about you? Any conquests lately?"

He still remained mute. When she was about to open her mouth, however, he said, "You know, don't you?"

"Know what?"

"Pandy, don't pretend with me. Then know this, as well, it's not what you think."

Pandy felt anger stirring inside her. What else did he want her to think?

"No, two people fucking on my bed, there's nothing wrong about that."

Kai suddenly turned to her side in the darkness.

"I didn't mean it okay."

She searched for his eyes in the darkness and found the scarlet orbs staring intently at her.

"What do you want me to believe?" she whispered.

"I…"

"Who is it?" she cut him.

He paused, licking his lips.

"Hilary."

Suddenly Pandy had the vision of the plain brunette who bossed everyone around having nothing else to do in life so had to go out with a loser like Tyson Granger. She was taken aback for a moment by the lowness of her rival.

"Since when?"

"Four weeks ago."

"Four weeks and you've told me nothing?"

"I didn't mean for it to happen."

"But you kept it going for four week?"

"Yes and I'm not proud of it."

"Why? Why are you two starting to see each other? What about her boyfriend?"

Kai was silent for a moment.

"She came to me and confessed that she was in love with me."

"When?"

"Four weeks ago."

"Where?"

"Here."

"In this bedroom?"

"No, on the sofa. You were out with Kat then. She was crying, because she was scared that she would hurt my feelings. I couldn't do anything else but hold her. Before I knew it, we were kissing. We moved from the sofa to the bed. I don't know how that happened either."

"How… how long was she in love with you?"

"She kind of realized it after we've got married and she started dating Tyson."

Pandy was stunned to silence.

"So… you fucked her because you pity her?"

"Please, don't say that word," Kai said, annoyed. "I… I didn't mean it," he repeated. "It was beyond our control."

"It was beyond your control," Pandy repeated, feeling the impact of the words on her. "So, is this a powerful attraction or…?"

"I'm not saying that. It might be lust, it might be affection. But what happened is, we find that we couldn't stop."

"You find that you couldn't stop," she tasted the words in her mouth. "It's like you both are meant to be and I'm in your way?"

"It's not that!" Kai raised his voice. "I just… I don' know how to say it."

"When are you going to see her again? Tomorrow?"

"No. Tomorrow she's with her boyfriend."

"Do you realize that you're betraying both your best friend and your wife at the same time?"

"Yes. I'm sorry, but I couldn't help it."

Pandy was becoming impatient.

"What was it like? The fuck, I mean?"

"What?"

"The fuck. Describe it to me, so I can make a sexual fantasy out of it."

Kai was silent.

"Okay, then. I'll describe mine. The slut was very hot. She had the biggest boobs ever, much bigger than your Hilary. No offence but it's for you to see. First she threw me on the bed then did this amazing dance on her b-"

Before she could finish the sentence, Pandy found herself pushed out of the bed.

"What the fuck?" she yelled. She got up on her feet as fast as she could. "You know what? Ever since I married you, I've faced nothing but problems! First, I had to cope with the title of Mrs. You know that I think it's sexist to have to change surnames and all. Then I don't even have the opportunity to sell my own work but find myself stuck selling the works of other people. And I hate this stinking house which is so boxy-looking it could be used as a cellar rather than a place for two people to live in! That red door! You know how I hate red doors! It hit my eyes every time I try to enter it."

"What do you mean?" Kai suddenly burst as well. "When I asked whether you liked the house, you said it was fine."

"That's because I didn't want to hurt your feelings. If I can choose, I'll live far from your freaky friends and none of this will happen! I won't have to pay fifty dollars for that slut and you won't have to fuck an ugly geek."

"Don't call Hilary names! She's not in this."

"Of course not! Since she's not the one who seduced you in the first place. And you fall head down into it. She's just frustrated coz her boyfriend is much uglier and stupider than you!"

"He's my best friend!"

"Well, you should consider that before stealing his girl!"

"Pandy, what is with you?"

Kai got off the bed and hold her firmly by the arms.

"Don't you realize who's wrong here? It's not as if you hadn't been out with other people too! You would leave me waiting for you each night, all alone. Apart from yourself, you've never loved anyone."

That's not true, she thought to herself. She would have liked to shout it but her tears were choking her without her realizing it.

"I wish we were still teenagers when there was nothing else but our love," she heard herself sobbed.

Slowly, Kai loosened his grip and turned away. Seeing his back turned towards her, she felt seized by panic. Pandy took out the knife that she had been concealing under her nightgown's sleeves and stabbed him as hard as her strength could manage. Her husband's body collapsed in a thud on the floor. Pandy gasped, stepping away from the body.

She quickly gathered her senses and used her mobile phone. She went to wait outside and half an hour later, her slut arrived, dressed in a military jacket.

"I… I've killed him!" Pandy ran towards the girl.

The latter could only receive in her arms the trembling body of a woman.

"Calm down. What have you done?" she asked.

"Kai, I've killed Kai."

Tears were flooding down her face. She was uncontrollable. It took the slut ten minutes before being able to force her back into the house. But there was no corpse in the bedroom.

"What happened to the corpse?" the slut asked.

Instead of listening, Pandy tore open her wardrobe and began throwing everything into her Muji traveling bag.

"We've got to get out of here, fast," Pandy muttered as if to herself. "Come on, help me pack."

She turned but instead of only seeing the slut, Kai was also standing there, pointing his gun at them. He was slightly limping but didn't look that injured. He was wearing a bathrobe, hiding his wound.

"I want you to leave now!" Kai shouted in a voice that wasn't his.

Pandy could see his scarlet eyes burning with a strange flame. She had never seen him so maddened and out of control. She looked from Kai to the slut who was unable to move as well.

"Leave and I'll file in a divorce!"

The word fell in like a wet rope in a bucket. It clanked hard on the metal surface. Pandy had the wind cut out of her. Three years of marriage and a sudden divorce. Somehow she felt hurt in her self-esteem because it was her right to file the divorce not him. But it wasn't the time to reason with Kai. The point of his gun moved constantly from the girl to her.

"Go and help him with his wound," Pandy told the slut.

She, herself turned back to packing as the two went into the bathroom. Kai sat on the edge of the bath and threw the gun into the basket of unwashed clothes.

"It's easy for you, isn't it? You don't really have to care about holding a relationship. Why do you bother being with her, anyway?"

But the slut remained silent. She bandaged the place where Pandy had stabbed him and went out of the bathroom.

The two girls carried the luggage one by one out of the house. Pandy was about to close the door of the car when she saw Kai in his bathrobe by the window making a phone call. She swallowed her spit. It was now official. He had probably called her parents. Everything was over.

She turned to get into the car when suddenly the red door swung open and Kai walked out after her. She had only a faint glimpse of him because soon she was hit on the head by the slut. She fell unconscious with the sound of her car driven away from her and her husband's footsteps coming towards her.
