IVY'S POINT OF VIEW

"Wow, what a view." I removed my shades, placing it in my hair before looking up, I know that voice all too well.

Wilder.

Thought I won't have to see his annoyingly handsome face again, guess I was wrong. Before saying anything I took my time to ogle at his amazing half-naked body.

We are at the pool and let me just put it out there, his hot body is the real view.

"Are you stalking me?" I closed the novel which I was reading before I got disturbed.

"You have been seated alone for the past hour, thought I should keep you company." He smirks, placing a towel over his broad shoulders.

Holy water.

"So you really are stalking me?" I raised my eyebrows at me.

"Yup." He seats on the beside me, did he just admit to stalking me?

Sicko.

"Just in case you missed it last time, I am married." I waved my fingers at his face.

"Oh I didn't, how's that working out for you?" He smirked, I know that smirk all go well.

He is mocking me, this son of a bitch.

"Great, just great. Cole and I are doing amazingly well." I lied with a straight face.

"Cole? Don't tell me you are married to the stutterer?" Wilder and his crew called Cole "The stutterer", as the name implies, Cole stutter when he's nervous.

"Don't call him that." I am not going to let him mock my husband the way he did back in high school, things are way different now.

"And I am for 10 years now and we have one amazing baby girl." I said with my head up high, not in a dramatic way though.

"He's one lucky dude." He winked at me.

I opened up my novel again pretending to read, I can't just concentrate knowing his just seated there.

"So trouble in paradise?" I turned on hearing his words.

"Excuse me?"

"All the times seen you, you have been alone. So where your husband at?" He took a glass of wine from the waitress that's passing by.

"You know stalker is not a good look on you." I am totally avoiding the question, I honestly don't know where the hell Cole's at.

"Anything is a good look on me." I turned to the arrogant person beside me.

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes picking up my novel.

"You know it's upside down right." I dropped my novel in frustration, turning to amused Wilder.

"Go away," I said slowly and simply.

"Come on, don't get like that." His dimples popped up as that devilish smile came on his lips.

"I am going to leave." I don't have plans of standing up anytime soon, love the view, this time I am talking about the pool.

"Cranky, marriage life ain't treating you that good?" I don't know why or what got into me I found self spilling to Wilder.

Crazy right?

"Open marriage? Wow, I might actually give marriage a second thought if that's on the table," He sounds just like Meghan.

"Gosh..." he interrupts me.

"Wait, so does this mean you are available?" He winked, not on my fucking life.

But it's going to be so hot if we... No Ivy, keep your head straight.

"Never going to happen, big man so keep that fire in your pants." I have a face smile."

"Never say never."

"I pretty sure I don't want to get infected with STD's so I'll say never." I can't imagine how many girls he has slept with. Back in high school, I heard he has slept with the cheerleading squad including my sister.

Ewww.

"Ouch, so you are here reading a book when Cole is having time of his life." He shook his head, emptying the glass of wine.

"Oh I did try to get out there, so this is my giving upstage." I have realized I am bad at these things or maybe rusty.

"You can't be that bad." Oh, I am that bad alright. Let me take you guys back to 2 nights ago.

"Is this seat taken?" I turned to the gentleman in suit. I have always had a thing for men in suit, I once tried to get Cole to wear a suit every day to work but that didn't end up well.

The guy before me as a blonde hair (not a fan of guys with blond hair but I can reconsider.), an amazing jawline, he is hot.

"No, it's not." I smiled.

"A beautiful woman like you shouldn't be in a bar alone." He's flirting, so that's a good sign.

"Well, I am not alone now, right?" I tucked my hair behind my ear, smiling at him.

I hope I don't look stupid.

"I am Dan." Felt I should have stopped my self at that moment because my next words were just stupid.

"My daughter's teddy bear name is Danny." See, extremely stupid.

"Oh, you have a daughter." I felt that should have been my timeout but my mouth won't just stop.

"And I am married." I mentally slapped myself as I waved my ring on his face.

Like seriously Ivy, wrong move. Now how is he supposed to have sex with me ?

"Oh, really that's... I think I should go?" Now he's running off because of your stupidity.

"No, you don't have to, I mean... I am married but our marriage is opened, wide-open" He's already upon his feet.

"I really should go." And with that, I chased my first shot of getting down with a man in a suit.

"Wide open." Wilder continues to laugh at me.

"Go ahead, make fun." I have a fake smile as he mocked me further.

"So no guy ever made it to the room?" Oh, I never said that last night I did get a guy but...

——-

LAST NIGHT

He dropped me on his bed, I sat up watching the male model I just met 20 minutes ago take off his shirt before climbing on me.

I don't even know his name.

I feel bad not because he's obviously younger than me but I don't know, just thinking about Cole I think.

I placed my lips on his, running my hand through his naked chest, his fingers buried inside my hair. We both withdrew, I put my hands on the hem of my shirt to take it off only to hear my phone ring.

Shit.

"Ignore it." He places his lips on my neck, sucking down on it. I let out a low moan as my eyes went to my phone on his nightstand.

It's my Kitty.

"I am sorry I got to take this." I rolled to the other side of his bed, picking my phone and answering the call.

"Sorry." I mounted to the eye candy lying on the bed in defeat.

"Hey, baby girl. How are you doing?"

"I am good mommy, I had a lot of fun today, Grandma and I went to the cabin." My mum, my sister and I go to the cabin often during the holiday back when I was a teenager, it was amazing.

"Really, that's good. I am glad you enjoy staying with your Grandma." I smiled.

"Of course I do, she makes very delicious food. Is Daddy with you, I want to talk to Daddy?" I looked at my potential one night stand who's on his phone.

"Oh baby, he is asleep and you should be too." I lied.

" I wanted to talk to you before I go to sleep." She is the cutest, I don't know what I did right to get this bundle of joy but I am glad.

"That's good baby girl, don't forget to brush your teeth before going to bed." I smiled.

"Sure mommy, goodnight. I love you."

" I love you too baby girl." With that, I hung up and dropped the phone.

"Sorry." I sheepishly said.

"No worries." He drags me closer taking off my shirt leaving me in my bra. He attacks my neck again leaving me a moaning mess.

"You got a condom?" I asked unbuckling his belt.

"No, you on birth control?" Whatever attraction I felt towards him went down the drain. I pushed him away from me, trying to take off my shirt.

God knows which disease his carrying, never going to happen.

"Relax girl, I am clean." And I am meant to take his word of it, no thanks.

He pushed me near him trying to steal a kiss, in reflex my hand moved in full force, punching him on the nose.

Holy shit.

"You bitch." He yelled and with that, the guy ran out of his room.

—-

"Dead." At least someone finds joy in my embarrassment. I just stared at Wilder as he laughed out. What can I say the sun was made for him, he looks so good seated there laughing.

"I can't believe you punched him." The pain on my knuckles are prove.

"So you are just going to sit this open marriage out." It's not working for me so far, so yes.

"Pretty much." I nodded.

"When you change your mind and I know you will, you know where to find me." I was going to say I am not going to but he is already gone.

Ass.
