Panic.

Two  years later

The men all sat in a room going through the files their bosses assistant had handed out to all of them. 

Studying the contents and learning everything in detail they waited for him to come in and brief them.

Ezekiel stared at the picture of the girl in the file memorising every feature and curve, he found her extremely gorgeous and enchanting. Paging through the file he learnt more about her, her age being twenty-four she was young, really young and he couldn't understand how she somehow fell in Reed's radar.

Although he was admiring the girl, Ezekiel was one to always do his job without any distractions, and he only hoped he wouldn't be stuck with monitoring.

Reed entered the room, and just as the room was quiet, it stayed quiet waiting for the boss to speak. 

"The file you're all looking at is of Robyn Barreau, Bellamy's 'ex' wife," he raised his fingers in inverted commas before putting his hands back into his pockets. "You are going to study everything about her, from her age, hair colour, nail length, eye-colour, her past boyfriends, who she's dating now when I say everything I mean every single detail about her you will know, understood," it wasn't a question which is why they all stayed quiet.

"What is the connection?" one of the men asked and Reed chuckled as he leaned against the chair. 

"Barreau took something from me and I only find it fair if we take something that's valuable to him, his trophy ex-wife," Reed said with an evil smirk, extremely excited to have his revenge plan in motion and there was nothing anyone could do to stop him.

"Posts?" another man asked and Reed switched on the screen, where all the duties were allocated to the men.

"Nev and Shawn, you follow Bellamy and his new girlfriend, Jay and Xavier you guys stay here and gather details about his business dealings and Ezekiel, you're her new friend."

Ezekiel groaned internally at his duties, once again he was stuck with monitoring and he didn't like that at all.

"Sorry bro," Shawn put his hand over Ezekiel's shoulder and walked away, they were only co-workers and had no sort of friendship, however, Shawn seemed to be the only sensible one out of the team. Nev was quiet and he minded his own business but always completed his work, Xavier was similar but as for Jay, he was like some sort of another breed that everybody tolerated, Reed only loved him for his recklessness sometimes.

Heading back to his room, Ezekiel packed up his bags and left for his new home for only God knows how long. The apartment would already be furnished and everything he would need would be provided for, all he had to do was to make it a bit more comfortable for him.

He wasn't even sure how he was going to befriend her seeing he was one who liked being alone, in truth he envied the duty Nev and Shawn got but instead he was blessed with the role of being her 'new friend', how should he act and talk wasn't going to be a challenge.

So he thought of ways to introduce himself, he couldn't just knock on her door and tell her his name and how he is only here for how long just to hurt Barreau. Without any way to introduce himself coming into his brain, he stopped his car at the building he would be living in. 

Heading to his apartment which was opposite Robyn's, he dropped his bag and set up his laptop before grabbing a beer, slouching onto the couch he watched his screen waiting for Robyn's return from work, Bellamy wouldn't allow her to work although they were divorced, it took time for her to convince him that she would be fine working, he finally agreed and she found work at the daycare centre.

Opening her file again, he read it over and over again and couldn't find himself to stop until she had finally come back, wearing her black jeans and her vest with her jacket in her hand, she opened her door and entered locking her door, inside she discarded the items that were in her hands and threw them on the couch heading to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

Robyn loved working at the centre and being around kids the whole day, she found nothing much more refreshing than listening to children's stories and watching them play together, teaching them how to value life and the importance of making lifelong friends, the only area she lacked in.

Finishing her shower, she dried her hair as she walked to the kitchen in one of her many long shirts, preparing her dinner she sat on the island and thoughts of how lonely she is bombarded her thoughts and she wiped her stray tears refusing to think about Bellamy, refusing to cry over him. It has been two years since their separation and two years since she's been with a man. 

Ezekiel finally worked up the courage to go introduce himself, knocking on her door she immediately opened and his eyes were stuck on her brown legs and he wondered what it would be like to have those wrapped around his waist as he would please the both of them, normally such thoughts wouldn't dare to run through his mind but looking at Robyn changed all of that.

Her honey-brown eyes stared into his blue eyes, she was ashamed to admit to herself that she too checked him out and found him insanely attractive with his tall build and muscle body that were prominent under his long-sleeved black shirt and his jeans, he had short hair compared to Bellamy and she loved it, he also had a clean beard, something she wasn't used to liking but she found it extremely attractive on him.

He licked his lips and opened his mouth stretching out his hand for her.

"Hi, my name is Ezekiel and I'm your new neighbour," Robyn lost her voice as she heard his was deep and in the midst of her panic she slammed the door in his face.
