CHAPTER 9

Alyssa walked into the Sanders building more nervous than the first time. This time she was dressed in her finest purple dress that stopped at her knees and her flats that matched. No heels or she would fall and embarrass herself in front of Jason. Something she didn't want to happen. Maybe sex again was okay.

She added a little hint of makeup, but not a lot. Strangely it was deserted. Barely any cars were in the parking lot, unlike before, and hopefully, there'd be no secretary either. She walked in as her prayers were unanswered. Alyssa sucked in her teeth in annoyance as she walked by her.

'We're closed." Melissa looked up from her bag she was packing, noticing it was Alyssa trying to walk by. 'Oh, it's you. I should've known I would be seeing you tonight." Her attitude was still very rude.

Alyssa stopped and turned back to her with as much attitude as she could conjure.

CHAPTER 10

The day already started off wrong for Jason as he ran on his treadmill, breaking out into a good sweat. The workout was much needed after he couldn't clear his head from Alyssa. The great time they just had was now possibly thrown down the drain. Maybe it was his lifestyle that caused her to run as fast as she did. Rightfully so, he understood why she would run. His life was becoming more and more of a hell. As he thought this right on queue Dan screams his name.

Jason shook his head annoyed. Like clockwork, Dan wanted to fuss at him about the event that happened last night.

'Dan, I would say nice to see you but I will be lying," Jason replied, wiping his face with his towel as he stopped the machine.

'What the hell happened last night? Did you hurt Melissa?" Jason lifted his eyebrows astounded by her lies.

'Hurt her? Di

CHAPTER 8

Jason stood as Valerie and Yolanda walked into the room on floor eleven. 'Jason!" Yolanda screamed running to hug him hard. Jason smiled, accepting the hug graciously. He opened his arms to Valerie as well. 'We missed you," Yolanda said, kissing his cheeks.

'Same. It's been too long. A year maybe. Why wasn't I invited to the wedding?" Jason crossed his arms, disappointed.

'It was a spur of the moment thing. Valerie proposed to me and we got married right away." Yolanda explained.

'Wow, congrats. I'm so happy for you two. Find a place to settle down yet?"

'Paris."

'California." They both spoke at the same time. Jason laughed at the couple.

'Cute. Well, we should toast to celebrate my friends' marriage. It's been too long." He poured them a drink at the mini bar. They clinked their glasses together and took a shot. 'So what brings you guys in today? How long are you in tow

Melissa began to smile s
