I didn’t mention my run-in with Lexie to anyone. I didn’t want to be interrogated over it. People would ask me a million questions, and they would definitely ask me how I felt about it. It was easier for me to keep it to myself.

Besides, there was nothing to tell.

My day dragged on forever, and I kept thinking about her. Her hair looked so soft and shiny. I remembered the way it used to feel in my fingertips. It always felt soft against my lips, on the nights I would kiss her passionately and never stop. I remembered the puckered look of her lips, when they were swollen and red. She and I had a strong connection, one full of trust and admiration. Sometimes I thought I dreamt the whole thing.

She wouldn’t get out of my mind and it was driving me crazy. I remembered the way we pushed my furniture to the side and danced together in my living room, the music on full blast. It was one of the first moments when I felt something more than just lust for her. I remembered the look on her face when I gave her that beautiful bracelet. Her eyes lit up in emotion the second she looked at it. I remember the way we showered together, our quiet retreats.

And it burned.

By the end of the day I was just staring at my computer without reading a single line. I needed to write a few emails but I couldn’t force myself to do it. Agony like I couldn’t explain gripped me by the throat. Who was that guy she was with? Was it her boyfriend? When he proposed would she say yes? Did she fuck him? Did she love him?

Why did I care?

I shouldn’t care.

You know what? I don’t care.

I kept staring at my computer but still didn’t get a single thing done.

I guess I do care.

My assistant spoke over the intercom. “Mr. Preston, a woman is here to see you.”

Who? Was it Marilyn from HR? “Send her in.” What did it matter who it was? I wasn’t getting anything done anyway. Maybe if I spoke to another human being it would distract me.

The door opened and a woman walked inside.

But it wasn’t just any woman.

Lexie.

I leaned back in my chair while I stared at her, unsure if this was all a hallucination. She was the subject of my thoughts all day, so it wasn’t unbelievable that I was imagining all of this. But after blinking a few times, I realized she wasn’t going to go away.

She was real.

She fidgeted with her hands awkwardly as she stood in front of my desk. She wore a black pencil skirt with a navy blue blouse. It tucked into her skirt, showing off her slender waist and voluptuous tits.

I gave her a blank look.

She cleared her throat but didn’t say anything.

I couldn’t believe this was happening. She was standing right in front of me, just a foot away. The last time I spoke to her she walked out of my life forever.
