Chapter 2: Questions, Anyone?

"Oh shit! Marco, your leg!" Hasaan yelled as hot coffee splattered everywhere.
I stood motionless as Hasaan scrambled to pick up the shattered mugs. I felt nothing, no burns, I didn't even care that I was standing in a puddle of hot coffee.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" I finally asked.
"What?" Hasaan asked as he cleaned up the mess.
"What are you doing here?" I asked again.
"Marco, last night was crazy dude." Hasaan said with a grin curling across his lips. "You were drinking 100 proof, with Moscato as a chaser. And lets not talk about the two shots of patron you had."
"Ok, I get it I was drunk as hell. Now, can we get to the part where you tell me how you ended up in my bed?" I said getting annoyed.
"After I helped you get in bed, I left or tried to. You kept saying you didn't wanna be here by yourself, and asked me to stay. We talked for a moment, then you tried to kiss me."
"Wait, so you're telling me that I made the first move?" I said, cutting Hasaan off.
"Look, I was at the door when you leaned in and kissed me. I asked you if you knew what you were doing, and you just kept on kissing me." he said.
"So why didn't you stop me?" I asked.
"I didn't want to." He simply replied.
"So, let me get this straight, I tried to kiss you, and you didn't stop me. You forgot that I had a boyfriend?"
"You forgot you had a boyfriend." he replied, "Don't try to make me the bad guy in this, like I said, you kissed me. Not the other way around."
I stood there as his words hit me like bullets. "You forgot you had a boyfriend." The reality set in, I cheated on Derick. My mind started to race, I felt dizzy. I leaned against the counter, I felt weak. As I went over the events in my mind, I still couldn't piece everything together.
"So, I guess you forgot about Kendra?" I finally said.
"Well, it was kinda hard to focus on her when I had all of that all over me." Hasaan said with a grin that made my stomach turn.
Suddenly, the sight of him was making me physically sick. Here I am, reeling with guilt, and all he could do was make lewd comments.
"Look, I'll deal with Kendra when the time comes. Right now all I can think about is whats under that robe." He said, as he took a step closer to me, reaching for my robe.
He leaned in and kissed me on my neck, pushing his naked body against mine. He undid my robe, and our two naked bodies created a heat that I hadn't felt with Derick in a long time.
"What the fuck are you doing?" I thought to myself.
"Hasaan, stop." I said pushing him away, "You need to leave."
"Why, whats wrong?" Hasaan said.
"THIS! This is wrong, on so many different levels! You have a girlfriend. Look, I think its time for you to leave." I tied my robe, and went to the bathroom. "When I come out, you need to be dressed and ready to leave."
"So, let me get this straight, we share a moment and you just kick me out? Thats fucked up Marco!" Hasaan yelled through the door.
"Moment? There was no moment, when I woke up I thought you were Derick! I didn't cook for you, I cooked for my boyfriend, who I love. Now, I'm gonna ask you one last time to get your shit, and leave!"
"Ok Marco, thats what we're on? I see you."
I sat on the side of the tub as tears streamed down my face. I couldn't believe I had actually cheated on Derick, and with Hasaan. I sat in a trance trying to make sense of everything.
"Whats up Derick?" I heard Hasaan say.
My heart dropped.
