This ain't the right time for you to fall in love with me

Baby I'm just being honest

And I know my lies could not make you believe

We're running in circles that's why

In my dark times I've still got some problems I know

Driving too fast but just moving too slow

And I've got something I've been trying to let go of

Pulling me back every time

Alex

I arrived at work early. Too early surprisingly, since I didn’t like to spend more time here than absolutely possible. Monica came rushing by forty minutes after I’d arrived, her eyes narrowing when she spotted me at my desk. My eyes lingered on her face, the hard line of her cheek bones, her ice blue eyes that stood out against her thick, black hair, and then travelled the length of her petite body. I felt a slight stir in my pants.

I let my eyes flutter closed. Damn Talon for putting ideas into my head.

It didn’t matter that he wasn’t entirely wrong.

“Alex.”

I’d known she was standing behind me, her perfume having announced her arrival before she could. I swiveled around in my chair to face her. “Morning, Monica.”

Her eyebrows jumped up, obviously surprised by my greeting. In her defense, we weren’t usually one for pleasantries.

“You’re here early?”

I wasn’t sure why she was questioning something that was obviously true. “Yeah.”

“Listen, I—” The shrill ring of her phone stopped her mid-sentence. She held up a finger and turned her back to me to take the call.

I leaned back in my chair, my gaze dropping to her ass. Her perfect, round ass. It didn’t seem possible that a woman like Monica was single. It was hard to believe that the person she was at work was the same person she was elsewhere. In fact, I would wager that the cold, bitchy boss persona was all an act, someone she felt she had to be in order to be respected and get ahead. Outside of work she was probably a pretty cool chick.

But I’d never know. I’d already burned that bridge a long time ago.

I glanced up just as she ended her call, giving her a weak smile that I hoped wouldn’t give away what I’d just been thinking. She seemed to look at me for a moment — through me, really — and decided that whatever it was she had come over here to say wasn’t worth it.

“Don’t forget we have those moms coming in at ten to go over the designs for their kids new soccer uniforms.” She pressed two fingers to her temple and fired.

A laugh shot out of me. I motioned to the thermos in her hand. “Then I imagine you’ve taken the liberty of adding two fingers of something strong into that coffee there.”

Her eyes darted left, right, and then fell on me as she tapped the side of her nose with a smile. “See you at ten. And maybe I’ll share.”

I turned back around to face my computer, a smile creeping onto my face. It had been a long time since we’d gotten along like that.
