BATTLE OF THE SEXES

I need to talk to Jaxson. We need to get a couple of things straight. First: I’ve obviously done something to make him mad, but he’s not going to go off, then just walk away. He’s hot and cold like a faucet. What he said about half-truths—he’s right. But all that other shit he was spouting…I haven’t a fucking clue. Second: We need to make some decisions about us.

The last few days I’ve been thinking about a possible us. This embezzlement thing has forced me to rethink a lot of my decisions. But it was last night that sealed the deal. Seeing Jax with his ex-wife was upsetting and revealing. I’ve seen him with other women, and hell yeah it hurt. But Tinker Hell—she’s different. There is something about her that’s just not right. She has some kind of hold over Jaxson and I don’t like it. I’ve never been a woman that has felt the need to mark her territory, but I am now.

I call Zane and verbally kick his interfering ass, then make my way to the kitchen. I’d asked Lester to make some of his world famous cinnamon rolls. Mary said they’re Jaxson’s kryptonite. I figured I’d need all the ammo I could muster up before I faced my Superman. Mary tells me that he’s in his office. So, armed with a tray of Lester’s killer kryptonite cinnamon rolls and coffee, I knock on his office door.

“Jaxson. Hey, it’s Alexia. Can I come in?” No answer. I knock again. “Jaxson, I know you’re mad and I don’t blame you. I...Just…Will you please answer me?” Knock. Knock. Knock. Okay, so far so good. Not.

I try the handle and it’s unlocked so I decide to let myself in before I talk myself into bailing. I open the door and Jaxson is sitting behind a large—no…enormous dark wood desk. His office is warm and inviting like the rest of the house. His entire home has a charming old-world feel to it and I felt at home as soon as I walked through the door.

Jaxson is working on his laptop with headphones on. He doesn’t sense my presence so I stand and watch him work. I’ve had many opportunities to observe him over the last two plus years and he continues to fascinate me. His movements and expressions are subtle except for The Brow. The Brow is all but subtle. So with the one exception, his expressions are slight and guarded.

He’s good at negotiating deals and acquiring companies because it’s hard to read him. A slight twitch of the eye means he’s nervous or anxious. A quick bite on the lower lip—accompanied by an exhale means he’s mad or wants to throttle you. A fast tip up of the chin means he’s up for a challenge or he’s dismissing you. When he looks and or plays with his hands he’s bored. When he looks slightly down though his long lashes and rubs his thumb back and forth over the tips of his fingers, he’s checking you out.
