EMILY

I FELT restless and got little to no sleep for the rest of the weekend. Every time I closed my eyes, I pictured Reed. I pictured kissing him. I pictured him kissing me. I pictured him moving against me. I pictured his hands on me, my hands on him. The only way to make images stop would be to open my eyes, so I ended up watching a lot of TV, doing lots of laundry and cleaning—anything to get my mind off him.

When Monday morning came, I was excited to get to work. I knew with the event only a couple weeks away now, things were going to be really busy. I was excited about that, knowing it would help keep my mind off Reed.

Christine was already sitting at her desk when I got back to our office. She looked like crap, and that was putting it nicely. She had on no makeup, her hair was in a messy bun held up by two pens, and she was wearing black leggings and an oversized sweater. This was very non-Christine. Usually, her hair was curled, her makeup was perfect, and she dressed like she just stepped out a magazine.

"Hey, are you feeling okay?" I asked her as I pulled off my coat and slung it across my chair.

"Yeah." She turned to smile at me. "I'm great actually. I feel so much better about this event. I spent all weekend up here, going over everything and making sure we had everything covered, and for the things we still need to do. I made a list." She handed me a piece of paper—make that papers.

"You worked all weekend?" I glanced from the list to her face.

"Yep. I mean, I went home to eat, sleep, and shower, but for the most part, I was up here. I don't mind. I love this stuff and I want it to be perfect."

As I stood there looking at the girl in front of me, realizing she had sacrificed her entire weekend, it made me wonder how I ever hated her. Then I remembered—she was a total bitch to me for no reason. For the past couple of weeks, though, she had been great and more than anything, she was working her ass off to make this event great. That reason alone was enough for me to forgive all the crap she had done to me.

"So what should I start with?" I asked.

"You take page one and two. I'll start on the rest. They're really just small things, probably things we've already done, but I just want to make sure."

"Will do." I smiled and ripped the first two pages off and handed the rest back to her.

I got busy working my way down the list, and before I knew it, it was already lunchtime. Good news, I’d only thought about Reed maybe a hundred times during the last few hours. Bad news, it wasn't going to be as easy as I thought to get him out of my head.
