Devin waited near the restaurant entrance at the scheduled time and scanned the area for Vivian. He checked his watch again for the third time, noting she was five minutes late. He wanted to finally have “that conversation” and try to convince her to give their relationship another chance.

“Well, well. I didn’t expect to see you anytime today,” Jason said, coming up the step.

He folded his arms. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“We saw the way you lit out of the reception last night with your girl. But I also noticed her friend making a play for you, along with three other guys. If you don’t plan to get with her, you’d better watch out. I figured we’d have to flip a coin to see who had the better evening between you and Tony. So, who was the lucky girl?”

“Who do you think?”

“I knew you were a smart man.”

“But Dawn showed up at my room earlier and I had to shut her down.”

Jason’s eyebrows shot up. “She stepped to you like that, knowing you and Vivian’s history? I knew that chick was a little wild, but damn.”

Devin nodded. “I was pissed, but she acted like it was no big deal.”

“Do you plan to tell Vivian?”

“I don’t know. I’m leaning toward no because it would devastate her.”

“Sounds like you two are getting back together.”

“We still need to talk, but…” He let the sentence hang. Devin frowned and glanced down at his watch.

“You need to be somewhere?”

“No. I’m supposed to be meeting Vivian, but she’s late. I think I’ll go up to her room and check on her.” Maybe she had fallen asleep.

“If you’re interested, a group of us are planning to do some sightseeing tomorrow. I’ll leave you a message with the times.”

“Thanks. I’ll catch up with you later.” Devin took determined strides to Vivian’s room. He knocked several times before Mariah opened the door. “Oh, hey Mariah. I’m looking for Vivian.”

Her expression went from pleasant to indignant in a flash. “What do you want?” she asked coldly.

“Is there a problem?” She had come to him and apologized yesterday and now they were back to square one.

“Vivian doesn’t want to see you.”

“What? Why? Where is she?” He attempted to get into the room, but Mariah blocked his path.

“You’re not coming in here.”

“The hell I’m not. When she left me two hours ago, she was fine. Now, all of a sudden she doesn’t want to see me.” Their voices were steadily rising.

“If you don’t leave, I’m calling hotel security,” Mariah snapped.

“I don’t give a damn who you call. I’m not leaving until I talk to Vivian. You can either let me in or I’ll pick you up and go through you. Makes no difference to me.”

“Stop it! Both of you!” Vivian appeared in the doorway rubbing her temples. “Everybody on this floor can hear you. I’ll handle it, Riah.”

“He—” Mariah started.

“Mariah, I said I’ll handle it,” Vivian gritted out. Her tone softened. “Just let me take care of it, okay?”

Mariah glared at Devin once more.
