"It's not about you Matthew" she began, toying with her glass. "Please believe me when I say that this has absolutely nothing to do with you." she sighed deeply. "It's just.. It's me, Matthew. I can't date you because... I don't know how to put this the right way and I don't want to bore you with the details, but let's just say that my head isn't in the right place. I have a lot of things to figure out when it comes to this topic and I just feel like it wouldn't be fair to you if I led you on."Matthew frowned. "I don't understand," he said. "You agreed to this last night and I have been asking you out for a while now. Why are you suddenly changing your mind?""Yes. I know, and I'm sor..."Matthew didn't let her finish. "Are you seeing someone else? Probably Timothy Packard. I saw you both last night at the party and you both seemed so... I don't know... Attached. I saw you leave the hall with him too but I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to look controlling and all

Jensen began tapping his finger tips on the table. He didn't even look surprised. "Okay, so you love her... Why is that such a bad thing?""Why? Because I can barely concentrate on anything else, I asked her out. I asked her to be mine, and she turned me down dad" Timothy replied angrily. Angry at himself for being in this kind of situation. This wasn't him. He wasn't the guy who stayed around waiting for a girl, but yet here he was, unable to think straight."I told I wanted to be with her, dad," he continued. "She turned me down. Gave me a bunch of reasons about working together, and distance and all that shit... I thought I would feel better when I came home, but that's not the case. It feels even worse not being able to see her."He buried his head in his hands and sighed. "You shouldn't have chosen her agency dad. I told you.. We should have just gone for another agency but damn it you insisted." He paused before he added in a calmer voice. "I know I shouldn't have gotten involve

She lifted her phone again and tried to ignore the ache of loneliness that had settled in her stomach. She’d done it. Pursued her dream career and made it in a workforce mostly dominated by males. It had been her goal for so long. Things were going well for her agency, and the future looked promising. But it seemed that in her pursuit of her goal she’d lost a little of her life along the way.Her phone buzzed again and she looked at the response on the dating app. She had stopped using the app years ago but now that she was desperately trying to get over Timothy, she thought maybe it was time to go back to it. Maybe she would meet someone she would like, and maybe start a relationship.Most guys she’d met—mainly very nice— weren’t interested in a woman who often ended up working for hours, surrounded by other men. Chloe had never mixed business with pleasure... Well until Timothy, and she had always refused to date a work colleague. Too complicated. Too much hassle.. And the drama wit

Chloe : We said goodbye to each other. Why are you bringing it up again?Timothy : As much as I loved the amazing way we said goodbye to each other, it doesn't change the fact that we made a mistake. The silence and distance is killing me. I can't seem to stop thinking about you. I know I want more from this and you do too. Don't you think that we missed out on the years we should have been together? Now we have another chance. Somehow we have found our way back to each other. Are you really willing to let this opportunity go too? You want me too, Chloe. You know you should be with me.Chloe : I'm not going to deny the fact that I do want you. I have been thinking about you a lot too and it's not been easy for me either. I have my reservations and I don't know what else to tell you.Timothy : I want to see you.Chloe : What? You just left a week ago. What are you going to do? Abandon everything you have to do and fly down here again just to be with me?Timothy : If you say you want to

Ann chuckled. "You are the one who is making things hard. Just pack what you can. You can always buy stuff that you need. By the way, you haven't said anything about this place you're going to.. Or who you're going with. I know you are not going alone so why don't you just spill. I know it's none of my business but I'm entitled to a little detail... I will be handling stuff at the office for you when you are gone, am I not? So tell me what's going on…I need the gist"Chloe smiled, but she said, "I can't““I think I already know who it is," said Ann. "I'm guessing it's Timothy Packard. You once told me about him, and honestly he's the only one you would be so secretive about"Chloe gritted her teeth. She had wanted to keep this to herself because she didn't know how it would go, but a part of her was glad that she told someone about it."Do you think that I'm making a mistake by going with him?" she asked. "I know that I shouldn't. It’s unethical, and I have tried to end things, but I

“To where?” she asked with a blink of surprise, then decided with a flashing smile when Timothy introduced her to Anthony. “Oh that's nice. Thank you then.”They ordered drinks. Chloe asked for pálinka, the Hungarian fruit brandy and while Anthony went to get them, Timothy took her to the living room upstairs.“Beautiful.” Chloe said as she moved into the center of the room and turned a slow circle, taking in the white walls with gilded trim, blue velvet curtains over the leaded windows and the chandeliers dripping with crystal. “What a dizzying place to be on”“It’s an expensive obligation... It's Dad's hand work. I'd be fine with a modest apartment.” said Timothy. "But I'm glad that you like it"Anthony brought their drinks and left immediately, while they walked into a hallway of pictures and vases that were so colorful and ornate they should have been gaudy but were perfectly tasteful in this surrounding. There was a chill in the air, though, and a faint scent of disuse.She moved

"What do you think? I stayed the hell out of it. What can I say.... Deanie is the one who always gets on my parents' nerves. They can't stay mad at her for long anyways so I guess it always works out well for her"She laughed and leaned against the rails. "I can't wait to take a walk barefoot on the beach. It's been a while since I let myself do anything else apart from work"When she turned back to him, he reached out and brushed his fingertip against the tip of her nose. Such a jolt of electricity went through her, she drew back sharply, tucking her chin and touching the spot herself to soothe the lingering burn. A myriad of feelings swirled through her. Self-consciousness, sheepish amusement, something uncertain and shy as she reacted to the most innocuous of caresses from him. His shrewd gaze seemed to delve all the way to her soul."Am I invited to that walk?" he asked softly.Chloe gave him a small smile. "Sure you are," she said.Her entire body was still tingling from the brus

“That bad, huh?” said Timothy as his brow went up."Yup. I got really sick of it too so I just visit them separately. There was nothing I could do so I just stopped trying. I'm not sure how, but I guess somehow along the line they just stopped loving each other and that gave way to hate. I mean, they were never the lovey dovey kind of couple but things just seemed to get worse. Makes me wonder what's the point of all this anyways""Point of what?"She shrugged. "You know... Meeting someone... Falling in love... Getting married... Having kids... Only to end up hating each other and getting separated. Is it really worth all the trouble?"There was a pause, then Timothy said, "You know it's not that way for all couples. Some marriages are still working out. Like mom and dad... Sometimes I wonder how they do it. They have been together for years and still going strong. They might have had their bad times, but they are still very much in love with each other, and that's the kind of relatio

Evan's hands dropped to his sides and he simply stood, watching her. She was wearing a red silk nightgown and she looked spectacular in it. She had removed her ponytail and now her thick Blond hair brushed her shoulders as she moved deeper into the room. She frowned and stopped walking when she saw the look on his face. “Is something wrong?” she asked.Evan shook his head. “No, No, Nothing is wrong…Honey. I’m just….You look so fucking beautiful… and I love that night wear " Christina beamed at him, flashing him a smile that he hadn't seen for so damn long… and oh, how much he'd missed it. She came to stand in front of him and began to undo the shirt buttons he had abandoned. As she did, she made sure she grazed his skin with the tip of his fingers, making shivers run through him as his dick hardened. "I'm glad you like it," she said in a low voice. "I got it specially… for tonight. I had a great time tonight and I know it's been a while since we've… ermm… since we made love, and I

The days went by, Chloe and Timothy approached the whole “getting to know each other more” agreement a trifle self-consciously. At least, that was how she felt about their initial dates, dates to dinner or the movies or a quiet evening at the beach house.Granted, once they were together for a short time, the awkwardness vanished. In its place passion exploded, a passion they struggled to contain. She wished she could say nothing more than sheer lust existed between them, but that would be a lie, Chloe conceded. The truth was, she liked Timothy…. A lot. She enjoyed his intellect, and his observations about life. She found his work fascinating, and she admired the way he loved and put family first. Timothy also possessed a calmness she appreciated and a way of taking control of a situation by smoothing over any rough edges. As much as she would have loved to make love to him, Timothy had insisted that they put that on hold. He didn't want her to think that what they had was just phys
