—bitch! That fucking creep is lying to Christine. She doesn't even know it. "WHAT?!" I demand in shock. Calvin explains everything in full detail. I have too many questions that he can't answer running in my head right now. "Look, I don't know what else to tell you. That man's real name is Vittorio Stanzolio, and he's the CEO of the Dolce company. His advanced technologies will be beneficial to the Danials' Corporation. His net worth is-" I interrupt Calvin before he continues. "Look, I don't care about the business side of this man. What I want to know is: what does he want with Christine?" Calvin's response to my question is a mere shrug. I groan in defeat and sink into my seat. My best friend is mad at me, and she's dating a guy that's lying about his identity. He must be a criminal. There is no good reason for him to lie about something as important as his name. And before you say anything to me, I have a good reason. All of my one-night stands are random men I met from

It's been a few days since the whole ordeal with Jake. Since then, Calvin is picking me up and driving me back to my place. I didn't ask for him to do it, but he insists. The little voice in my head is very thankful for him. The man is very considerate and goes out of his way to make sure that the people around him are safe. As I sit next to Gabrielle, we go over my boy-toy issues. After getting to know her, I find her to be quite likable. She talks a lot, but she's a good listener. Over time, I realize that I do, in fact, like Calvin. Now I'm coming to terms with my feelings for the man. I don't know what to do if I'm honest. It's been so long since my last real relationship, and I'm not sure if he likes me back. The 'agreement' that Calvin and I have is working so well. I don't want to ruin it by telling him I like him. "I mean, what makes him different from the last flings you've had? I'm sure that you only like him because the sex is good," Gabrielle proposes. I sigh and take

Today is the day. Calvin and I were at Vittorio's house the previous night. I laid out my plan, and they both thought that it was a good idea. I will pick up Calvin from his place and then we will go over to see Christine. It's been about two weeks since the whole ordeal with my ass-crack of a boss. Since then, he and the new dancer have been seeing each other. I'm glad that she is happy, but I wish she could be with any other person on earth. That man is a creep behind a good-looking exterior. And all I want is for her to be safe. I honestly don't know what she sees in him. I may have warmed up to her a little. Because now she and I are sitting in my studio eating together. My last class was about half an hour ago, and I can technically go home. But I like the company. I found out that her name is Gabrielle, she moved here from Mexico, and she is the youngest of four siblings. Two brothers and a sister. "How is creating your choreography for your recital going? You will be per

Tonight is a night that I will remember for the rest of my life. I don’t even know how to tell you that can properly describe how Calvin makes me feel. It isn’t just his hot skin against mine or the way he caresses my body like I’m a precious jewel. It’s because of the way my amplified feelings for him are causing me to feel everything tenfold. We are on the couch, basking in each other's presence. I slowly reach down for his prize below, but he then stops me. Does he want to stop? I put my hand away and I'm about to apologize, but he stops me. "Jessica, wait. I have a spare room that we can use. I don't think Christine would appreciate sleeping on her couch," Calvin explains. I nod, understanding that we can be in a much more private place. "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me," I apologize. Calvin smiles and he lifts off of the couch. "Don't apologize, I also can't wait to sleep with you. I think it would be better if we do it in a better place than a couch," Calvin rea

Cooking breakfast for me consists of a bowl of cereal. That’s it. I don’t know what else to tell you. Now things are changing for the better. In the past four days, I have been cooking eggs, and bacon, chopping vegetables, and even making my lunch for work. I will admit that this is thanks to Calvin. I don’t know why but with him by my side, I feel like I can accomplish anything. He actively helps me cook around the kitchen, and he makes cooking fun for me (a true miracle worker). Calvin has to attend an online meeting he's hosting. It will be about four hours long. I did tell him that he can stay at my home. However, I won't be home until late. He doesn't want to stress me out so he politely declined. I'm thankful that he is taking my well-being seriously. I don't want him to be in the midst of something happening today. Calvin is standing next to me, cutting the vegetables. Meanwhile, I’m on the stove cooking our breakfast. I turn to my left and quickly pick a carrot piece and pop
