hoped it would. Emma needed something to explain it because as the car idled, she realized she faced a much, much larger problem.
She was falling for him and couldn’t pretend she wasn’t. Emma didn’t know how or when those feelings had taken over but they had.
The light turned green.
Exhausted, the only thing Emma wanted to do right now was sleep. As she pulled into the driveway, Alexander’s car wasn’t there. The house was dark. Moments later, she walked inside and headed straight towards the bedroom. Emma stripped her clothes away and as her bra hit the floor she slid in between the sheets.
At least if she was asleep, there’d be no way for things to get worse.
She wouldn’t have to wait long to find out.

Emma had no idea how long she ’d been in the bed before the sound of the television blared from living room and invaded her slumber. She propped herself up on her elbows.
No way.
It wasn’t possible. Was he really out there with the television on that loud? Alexander had to know she was in here asleep. No one was that rude.
Emma was so not in the mood, n ot tonight. Whether she had feelings for him or not, she guarded her sleep with a vengeance.
No one got in the way of it.
Disgusted, she threw on a nightgown and walked towards the bedroom door.
Emma ripped the door open to see Alexander seated on the couch. He had his feet up on the living room table, a beer in one hand and the remote control in the other.
Emma scowled at him.
“Hey, you’re awake!” he said. “One of my favorite m ovies just started. Have a seat, we can watch it together. By the way, did you get your reports fixed okay?”
“No, I was asleep. You woke me. Yes, the reports are fine and, aaahhhh! ” she shouted as she raised her hands skyward.
Emma walked over to the couch and snatched the remote from his hand. She faced the television, turned the volume down and placed the remote on the arm of the couch.
“Now wait. I can barely hear that.” Alexander said. He picked the remote back up and increased the volume.
Emma leaned over him. “ That’s the idea. I am trying to sleep in there.” She said as she grabbed it back and decreased the sound again.
“ Terrible idea.” he replied as he turned it back up once more.
Emma looked Alexander in the eye. “What don’t you understand? I want to go to sleep!” she said as she lowered the sound.
“Okay. So go to sleep. Who’s stopping you?!” Alexander exclaimed as he increased the volume.
“Thanks for your permission. Good night.” Emma replied. She grabbed the remote a final time, turned down the sound and with the device in hand began to head back towards the bedroom.
“Hey wait, g ive that back!” Alexander exclaimed as he sat forward.
“No!” She exclaimed. Emma turned her back towards him and tried to escape into the bedroom.
“Yes!” Alexander said. He reached out and grabbed towards the remote. As he did, Emma turned and stretched out the arm that held it. She lifted the arm as high as possible to keep it out of his reach. Alexander pulled her down into his lap and they struggled with one another for control.
“Stop it, you jerk!” she exclaimed.
“Give me my remote! I need it!” he said.
As she struggled, he grabbed onto the hand that clasped the remote and pulled. Startled by his strength and aggression, Emma collapsed into him.
“No, stop it! Let me…” she said.
She swiveled her face towards his. In a fla sh, an inch of electrified air was all that separated their lips. Emma labored to catch her breath as they looked into each other’s eyes. Then, without a second of hesitation or thought she pressed her lips into his. Alexander returned it with equal intensity and for several seconds, they kissed one another. All of a sudden, the awareness of what was underway thundered into her consciousness.
No, no, no!
This was not good and nothing good was going to come of it. Emma pulled away from him and leapt to her feet in an
