Ally

Once home, I realize that my sister Ashlee isn’t around. I assume she has gone out with her friends, so I decide to make myself some dinner. I settle on some pasta and sauce, and while it cooks, I turn on the TV.

I flick through a few channels and finally choose a romantic movie. The movie is about a woman who falls in love with a man who is always traveling the world for work. They meet by chance, and even though they live in different cities, they start a long-distance relationship. The movie is sweet with a happy ending, and it makes me smile.

Once the movie is over, I clean up my plate and settle back onto the couch. That's when my thoughts turn to Dante. I remember the amazing time we had together last night and how much I want to be with him again. I know I have to make things right between us and clear any misunderstanding that might have happened after I left his home.

As I think about him, I begin to touch myself, imagining his hands on my body. Just the mere imagination of his fingers over my skin makes my soul shiver. I still taste the feeling of his lips on mine. How his tongue treated my groin and thighs. It doesn’t take long before I’m lost in pleasure, my mind consumed with thoughts of him. When I finish, I feel a pang of regret for not picking up his calls earlier. I know I have to see him, so I decide to visit him at his office the next day when I get to work. I lie down on the couch; my thoughts filled with him, and soon drift off to sleep.

Dante

I wake up from a restless night's sleep, determined to make things right with Ally today. I want her to spend the night with me. I head straight to the kitchen where Alfred has made breakfast for me. I eat with focus, thanking him for the meal, and giving him instructions on what to do before Ally arrives.

I want everything to be perfect.

"Alfred, please keep some wine in the fridge so that it can chill before I return tonight," I tell him. "And don't worry about making dinner. I'll take care of it when I come back."

With breakfast finished, I head out to my car and drive off to the hospital.

When I arrive at the office, I nod politely to the nurses without smiling and head straight to the neurologists' office. I see Ally there, laughing and chatting with the other residents. I call her to my office, and she follows me.

As soon as we get into the office, I try to apologize for my behavior the day before. "Ally, I'm sorry for what I said yesterday. I was out of line. Please forgive me."

But she's not having it. "You don't get to just say sorry and make everything okay," she retorts. "You were incredibly rude to me yesterday, and I won't just let that slide."

I can feel the tension in the air, and I know that I need to do something to make things right. "I understand that, Ally. I was just mad because you left without saying a word. That made me feel angry because I thought we are connected beyond having sex at night and disappearing from each other in the morning. I want to make it up to you. Maybe we could go out for dinner tonight? My treat?"

She looks at me for a while then looks away as though she is willing to have the dinner with me. Yet, when she turns back, her eyes are breathing fire. She tells me she won’t have the time since she has stuff to take care of.

My heart sinks as Ally refuses my invitation for a date. I feel like I'm losing her more and more every day.

But just as I'm trying to make amends with her, my ex-girlfriend Genevieve walks in to my office out of nowhere. She calls me 'babe'. I can feel the anger boiling inside of me. How dare she just waltz into my office like this, and in front of Ally too? It's like she's trying to prove a point. I recall immediately how Genevieve had treated me poorly and I had decided to end things with her.

The Past

Dante

Genevieve,myex-girlfriend,hasjust walked into my office and called me "babe" right in front of Ally. The shock that comes over me is indescribable. As for Alley, she immediately storms out of the office and slams the door shut.

I’m so furious with Genevieve for showing up at that particular moment and ruining everything. All the progress Ally and I made in trying to work things out has gone to waste. I know I have to talk to Ally and explain everything, but I need to deal with Genevieve first.

I turn to Genevieve, my voice laced with anger, "What are you doing here, Genevieve? How dare you show up here and call me that in public and at my workplace like that when you know we are no longer dating!"

Genevieve just shrugs and say, "What? Can't I come and see my ex-boyfriend? Or have you already moved on to the next one?" Her words sting me, but I try not to let it show.

"I've moved on, Genevieve. And even if I hadn't, that's no excuse for what you just did. I am officially at work. You've caused a lot of problems for me today," I say firmly.

Genevieve just laughs and say, "Well, maybe you shouldn't have dumped me then. I wouldn't have to come and check up on you."

I grit my teeth, feeling my anger rising. But I know I have to keep my cool. "I didn't dump you, Genevieve. We ended things mutually. And now I need you to leave."

Genevieve shrugs again and says, "Fine, whatever. But don't forget, I’ll send you an address to attend the friends reunion dinner that I am hosting tomorrow night. I'll be expecting you at 8 PM." With that, she turns and walks out of my office, leaving me seething with anger.

I take a deep breath and try to calm myself down. I know I have to find Ally as soon as possible and explain everything to her. I can't let Genevieve ruin everything for us. I quickly leave the office and head out to find Ally, hoping she hadn't gone too far. I check around the parking lot, the garden, and even the main entrance, but she is nowhere to be found. My heart starts to sink.

Where could she have gone? Was she hurt? Angry? I have to find her.
