“He did not have hishands on me.We were just talking about me going to Columbia and that’s it.”
“Okay.”
“Okay, what?”
“Nothing. Eat, so you can go work out. Have you journaled this morning?”
“No. Wait. Are you going to be reading those?”
“No. Unless… I should. Are you talking about harming me, yourself, or others? If not, it’s for you. Make sure you’re being honest with yourself though. It makes for a good experience once this is over and you go back to read it from the beginning.”
She rolled her eyes and sighed.
“Alright, I’ll love to wear those eyes as keychains. Roll them again.”
She picked up her fork and started eating.
“So, I have a… um, when are we going to sleep together? Pick a night.”
When I looked at her, she was looking at me with the cutest smile on her face.
“Why do you want to sleep with me? Our beds are the same.”
She started to roll her eyes but then thought about it. “The affection. I said that’s what I wanted. I mean, that’s what I negotiated.”
I smirked. “Saturday night.”
“Deal.”
Twenty minutes later, I’d finished eating and getting ready for work and was headed toward the elevator. When I walked on, I heard Grey coming around the corner behind me.
“Wait. I’ll ride down with you.”
She walked on and stood close to me.
She leaned over and sniffed me. “You smell so so so so good, Diesel.”
“Thanks.”
When the elevator stopped on the floor for the gym, she wrapped her arm around me and told me to have a good day. That was a first. The doors slid closed just as she made it to the front day. If I wanted to have a good day at work, I was going to pretend that I didn’t see the front desk dude staring directly at her chest.

“Boss,”Mona met at the front door of Danger Headquarters. She breathed as if she’d run down twenty flights of stairs. “You wanted me to meet you here. Is it an emergency?”
She fell in stride with me toward the elevator.
“Yes. Get Greysen bigger workout clothes.”
“You didn’t have me meet you here for that. I am sure those clothes fit her.”
“I know. That’s why I said she needs more. Chef’s son all but pulled her nipple out and sucked it at the table.”
She shook her head. “I guess. Oh, Kyle should be ready to talk in a few hours. Be waiting on the call.”
“Got anything else for me?”
She pressed the elevator button for me. “Nope. Not pressing.”
