Seven years later...“Noah! – Alexis called from the kitchen. "Don't try to trick me, young man!" I know you're awake! She smiled and shook her head.Soon her little boy, dark, with beautiful and expressive blue eyes and curly hair, appeared. He was the exact copy of his father. Even the heterochromia in his left eye he had. He came with his arms hanging by his sides, dragging his feet and his head down. It was the picture of defeat. But it didn't move her. Every day was the same. And he looked gorgeous in his Buzz Light"year pajamas ..." Mom, why do I have to go to school today? – he retorted. " It's too early, it's raining, it's cold, and I'm still sleepy...“Noah! She grabbed him by the collar of his blouse, leaning down and showering him with kisses, from his rosy cheeks to his neck, where she knew he tickled. " Stop being lazy, boy!" Stop, mother !" – he scolded, squirming to get rid of her hands, while trying to hide his laughter and keep an angry face.With one last kiss on h
"I am not paid for it! "replied Alexis, examining the address in his hand and staring at the building before her.She was a secretary at Shepherd and Harry’s Landscaping. Office! Amanda Shepherd had no authority over her to ask her to “negotiate” with her former lover!Well, she could have told that to her boss at the company. Now, standing before the construction of two floors, of apparent bricks, I thought it was too late to complain.With an exasperated sigh, he smoothed his beige suit, which matched the pants and his white silk tank top. An outfit that made her look like an old woman and not the 26-year-old woman she was, as your friend Norah used to say.She felt comfortable in her costume. It seemed more professional, more serious. Before pushing the door leading to the bar, she sighed again. Throwing the behaved ponytail over her shoulder, she came in.By the time, the environment was practically empty. Few people in the background, next to a pool table. And on the counter, thr
Sliding her finger over the screen of the device, even without seeing anything, decided that she needed to stop thinking about the subject. Mostly because he was your boss’s ex, but also because you didn’t want a relationship right now. You had to focus on your job. I felt his big chance was near.He was working on a landscaping project for a significant client. The difficulty lay in the fact that she was just a secretary and then would have to present her project to Amanda Shepherd, hope that she would like her ideas and, hopefully, give her the account. Norah, who was also a secretary in the same office, said she had little faith that this would happen.I knew I was dreaming big, but I had to risk it. It was your dream, you had to fight for it.Therefore, he spent all his spare time at work and did not want a relationship to take away his focus.He suddenly tried to remember the last time he had been with a man. November, just before the Thanksgiving, and it was already July.He was
As she sat on his desk, he looked at his sketches, properly stored in a cardboard wrapper. The flash drive with the computerized version was also there. Sighed. It had not been that day, but it would be in another! I would not give up!The day was exhausting! Amanda was agitated, calling her all the time. She had sought her lunch, exactly as had been ordered. However, the restaurant must have been wrong about something and unfortunately all his anger fell on Alexis.When she returned to settle, snorting in anger, since the mistress as always thought herself master of the truth and did not let her defend herself, Norah came to reassure:" Do not call! Absorb and abstain! " hummed the mantra. " She needs sex!Alexis laughed." Oh, but you didn’t just tell me about the ex cat!Well, what better way to talk about that man than to calm down?" Oh, God! " Norah sighed, after the very neat description of Ethan. " I want one of these for myself! No wonder she’s climbing the walls! Get dumped
Holding her slim waist, Ethan made his way through the small crowd until he reached a table at the far end of the bar. He waited for her to settle down and sat down opposite her. “ So let's get down to what brought you here! “ he asked, wanting to cut the preamble short. That way, they could move on to something more interesting. Alexis took the other envelope from the bag and handed it to him. With a sigh, he began to read. Seconds later, he laughed, shaking his head negatively. He realized that he loved to see him smile. It made her insides churn and the muscles in her much”needed sex contract. Badly, Alexis! Too bad! “ She doesn't give up! Would you like to read it? “ He held out the sheet of paper to her, seeing her look of interest. “ No. I don't think so. “ Why not? “ It's personal and involves my boss. “ Well, as soon as you gave it to me, it was mine. So I can do what I want and I don't mind you reading it. Alexis was still a little afraid. So: “ So… “Darling, why a
Caught surprised, Ethan staggered back, gasping."Alexis..." he called, making a move to hug her again." No! " She almost shouted, with her hand outstretched, preventing her from approaching. " I can't...'Alexis, don't…' he almost begged." I"I ... I've to go!" She tried to straighten her hair in disarray and walked away, almost running away from him.My God! She was at his mercy! How ridiculous! Didn't even know him!He continued walking, even without feeling firm in his legs, without looking back. If he touched her again, she would be lost. He probably wouldn't have the strength to resist.Panting, Ethan ran his fingers through his disheveled hair. I watched a desperate Alexis turn the corner, heading for the subway. How could she leave him in that state?Wow, what was that? What a kiss, what a mouth! A soft, fragrant body!And the way she reacted to him? He wasn't really as aloof as he wanted to appear.He now ran his hands over his flushed face. The kiss ended abruptly, leaving
" Oh my God! he exclaimed, throwing himself under the counter." But what...? Norah was startled, frowning.“Ethan! He is here! she muttered terrified.“Where …?”"Please, Norah!" Don't say I'm here! " begged." OK! – despite agreeing, the other seemed not to understand.He knew he would have to explain later. Many of them!Soon I heard Ethan's voice." Hello, good afternoon!" Good afternoon, sir!" How can I help you?"Oh... I'd like to see Amanda Shepherd."“Oh, I'm sorry, but she isn't there. You're traveling on business!" Same? How unlucky!He came to see his ex"lover! Clear! Not for her, but for Amanda! Despite everything he had said about not being interested, he came looking for you! After the kiss they had exchanged, he came looking for his former lover ."Do you want to leave a message, sir?""No. What I have to say to her needs to be said face to face!"" I understand.“But then… Norah. – he read on his badge. 'Alexis Morgan, she works here, doesn't she?'Oh God! He had com
At the end of that day, when she finally found herself alone in her apartment, Alexis leaned back against the closed door and let out all the agony she had had to hold back all that long day.She wished she could scream, but she just let the tears roll down her cheeks.In a rush of rage, he undressed, throwing the pieces in the distance.When she told Norah what had happened, her friend was outraged. He had said that if he had gone with her, he would have said good words to the Cobra! But then she soothed Alexis by saying that the other's opinion of her shouldn't matter to her. Only she knew about herself and reminded her that Shepherd's plan not to draw Ethan's attention to another woman had failed. It was no mystery to them that the man was head over heels for Alexis, regardless of what kind of clothes he was wearing.This even cheered her up a bit, and she laughed along with her friend.But now, alone, she felt like crap! That damn cow had hurt her deeply. Norah had been willing to
