"Eew, you reek of alcohol. Were you drinking?" Mason cracked one eye open and then closed it "Get me a glass of water before you leave" "Why would I leave? I just got here" "Because I'm not in the mood to talk to you today" "Are you sulking?" "No. I'm pissed" and glad that she was there but he couldn't let her know that yet. He'd ended up spending the entire afternoon ranting to Alden then went back to the office. Thinking he could get some work done but he'd been too wound up to concentrate. So he'd come back home and drunk a few bottles of beer. The stench Eva was complaining about came from his shirt. He'd spilled some on himself and forgot to take his clothes off. That was how disoriented he had been. "I brought you flowers and chocolate to apologize," she said shaking him. "Cut it..." Pink rose petals blocked his line of vision "Are you kidding me?" "I'm sorry. The day before yesterday was just a hard day for me and I wanted to be alone. If I hadn't buried myself i

"You look distracted. What's up?" Eva sighed "It's Mason. Something's up with him" "Should you strive to bring it down?" Pippa asked, snorting. She grabbed a pillow and hurled it at her. "Cut it out with the innuendos. I'm serious" "Fine, what is it? Has he gotten tired of you already?" "What do you mean? Men don't get tired of me. I get tired of them" "So why haven't you moved on from him then? I honestly thought you two would fuck a few times and go your own ways" "He's different-" "Damn right he is" she said making Eva furrow her brow. Before she could ask what she meant, Pippa continued "He's not your average man Eva. One look at him and you can tell he's not the type to take shit from anyone, especially you. I suggest you stick to the men you can handle" "Meaning?" "That you're controlling. I'm sorry to say that but it's the truth. You always want everything done your way. You want to dictate the terms and expect men to go along with it. Your previous boyfriend

"Hey, sexy. Miss me?" Mason leaned back in his chair answering "Of course I do. When will you be coming back?" "Unfortunately, I have to stay for another week so probably Saturday or Sunday? But worry not, you're still getting your surprise" "I'm not worried about that. You have a knack for acting. I'm sure you'll do well" "You'd better not look at other women while I'm away" "I only have eyes for you, baby," he said twirling a pen in his fingers. "Okay. I have to go. I'll call you later. Bye" "Bye" He took the phone away from his ear and looked at it. What was he doing? Why hadn't he asked her if what that waitress had said was true? It was just a simple question. Why hadn't he brought it up, Because deep down he knew it was wrong to even think she could do something like that. Relationships were based on trust. He couldn't- shouldn't trust a stranger's words. For all he knew, she was just jealous of Eva and wanted to ruin her reputation. Famous people attracted all kinds

The view from the apartment was terrific. Especially at night. It overlooked the city, the twinkling, colorful lights almost making her believe she was in a fairyland. Two months were enough. Weren't they? He had to miss her as much as she did him and would probably forget the past when he saw her again. She'd caught glimpses of him when he came and went to work. He wasn't the same, confident man she'd known. Dare she think it was because of her? When she finally called Pippa, her assistant had told her how desperate he'd been to find her. According to her, he was begging. Then again, how could he not? He thought he'd lost the woman he loved. Of course, anyone in his position was bound to lose their mind. Eva sat back, planning her comeback. She'd stayed out of sight to the point that no one knew where she was. Even the Paparazzi couldn't find her. Lincoln believed she just needed privacy to finish her book and that she'd sold her house because she wanted to get away from the stalker

"What the fuck, Alden? What did you do?" Mason asked barging into his office. He'd been in the middle of a meeting when Eva called. He couldn't believe she finally wanted to talk to him and for a moment, he had thought she would at least explain herself. What he hadn't expected was for her to go off on him, calling him a coward. She'd thought he had sent Alden to do what? Talk to her on his behalf? "I don't think we've ever fought over a woman before. It was bound to happen at some point in our lives but I'll have you know I don't like it" "We're not fighting over anyone. You crossed the line and you know that" "What if I told you I'm about to do more than cross a line?" He got up, rounded his desk, and came to stand in front of him "What if I told you I want her for myself?" "Bullshit" "She's pretty, smart, and successful. What man wouldn't want her?" "I know what you're doing Alden and I'm warning you, Eva is off limits. She's not like the rest" he wasn't stupid. Alden wa
