New day…another chance to get my raging hormones under control and behave like a normal human being. Yesterday was just a case of my mask slipping. I felt as if all of my filthy thoughts were written on my face and judging by the confused expression on Mariah's for most of the day, I'm not wrong.

And I can't blame her. I started strong by staring at her crotch and leveling threats about giving my muffin away. Only to top it off with a longing gaze that went on for far too long, never mind that it never should have happened. I must have shocked the shit out of her. I know I did myself. I'm normally good about hiding my inappropriate thoughts from Mariah. I'm lucky she didn't call HR on me.

After going home yesterday and reminding myself of the reason why I can't pursue Mariah, I feel more in control of my emotions. Today is a new day and I'm determined to get my hormones in line which is proving harder by the second.

Mariah and I are in my car this afternoon headed to a building site, the close proximity testing my resolve. Every time she waves her arm to emphasize some point I get another whiff of her vanilla-coconut lotion, the scent going straight to my groin. Shifting in my seat I quietly groan and grip the steering wheel tighter in hopes the action will relieve some pressure. God, I hope she doesn't notice how uncomfortable and fidgety I am and start asking questions.

To make matters worse not even five minutes ago she asked if I cleaned her chair. Well fuck. The thought never crossed my mind she would notice causing me to have to scramble for an answer. Out of options I lied and blamed Ms. Peterson, sprouting out some nonsense about her spilling coffee. Mariah laughed and mouthed the words, "liar."

I asked what she meant by that but she all did was smile and wink then moved on to a different subject. She can't possibly know the truth…can she?

Damn, I hope not. If she does I'm blaming Aaron too. His strutting and calling me out on the Clayton drawings didn't help matters. Screwing up is not in my nature and Mariah knows that. As usual, she defended me but I couldn't let her and owned up to my mistakes.

Those sketches were the worst I've ever done. To think, I had such a strong start but once Mariah left I had trouble focusing, all thoughts were on her and what she was doing. I wondered if she was enjoying her trip if her grandmother was driving her crazy, and worse of all—if she recounted with her old flame she left behind when she moved here four years ago.

It's one of the things I admire about Mariah—her strength. It took a lot to move from a small mountain town to a bustling city like Tallahassee at the young age of twenty-one. When I told her that she shrugged it off like it was no big deal.
