when someone knocked on the passenger window. Slightly startled, I paused to catch my breath before letting down the window. Just as my hand went to the button, Adam’s face appeared.
“What the heck are you doing here?” I asked as the window came down.
He was dressed casually, a baby blue button down shirt, white t-shirt and khaki pants. It had been a long time since I had seen him and though I would never admit it to him; he was looking so freaking hot. His sexy smile was still the same, and he was still able to make me wet with just one curl of his lips.
Don’t even think about it Emily. He is the reason your life is as horrible as it is. Remember the two blondes from work, I reminded myself.
“I’m sorry if I scared you but I really wanted to talk to you Em,” he said with his ocean blue eyes looking at me hopefully.
“Adam, really there isn’t anything to talk about ,” I said, turning away and staring at the wheel. Just keep looking straight ahead.
“Come on Em, just five minutes. It’s really important, please?” he brought his hands together, begging me.
“You’ve got three minutes. I’m a busy woman.” I said but instantly regretted.
Adam didn’t deserve a second of my time after what he had done to me. What he deserved was a good old fashioned kick in the groin.
“Ok, I’ll take it,” he said as he opened my door and climbed in.
His cologne was the first thing that I noticed. At one point in my life, his cologne was like a drug to me. It was my kryptonite. Every time he came near me, he wore that very cologne, sending me into heat, and here I was, in this small car, trapped with him and that damn cologne.
Just breathe… 1, 2, 3, breathe.
“Three minutes doesn’t really give me much time so I’ll get straight to the point…” his voice trailed off as he thought his next words out. “I miss you Em. I know that things ended badly between us but I still love you.” He reached over and grabbed my hand and continued as I stared at him dumbfounded, “You’re still here Em. And I know I don’t deserve you but I am willing to do whatever it takes to get you back. Name it, I’ll do it… for you…” he said as he pressed my hand against his chest, indicating that I was still in his heart.
I really wasn’t sure what to make of this conversation with Adam. I mean, the dude had cheated on me with my co-workers, granted they were also his co-workers too , but still, the jerk embarrassed me and broke my heart. At the time I thought we were headed towards marriage, well… maybe not marriage but a nice long engagement until we settled into our careers, but instead he released his inner horn dog and freaking nearly sent me over the edge. How Diana and Suzie managed to put up with me after that breakup was something that I could never understand. I was a mess! No, scratch that… I was a HOT ASS MESS!
And now, after all this time this man seriously thought he could just mind-f his way back into my world? You’ve got to be freaking kidding me! How dare he think that he could bathe himself in the cologne he freaking knew I loved, bat those freakishly beautiful lashes of his and smile his panty-freeing smile at me and then what? Did he think I would just forget the whole thing? Was I supposed to erase the last year out of my head and somehow continue right where we left off?
Before I could even stop myself from doing it, I found myself open-handedly slapping the crap out of him, causing him to yelp in pain. “Who in the hell do you think you are Adam?” I screeched.
“ What the… are you freaking crazy Em?” he retorted while holding on to his now reddened face.
It serves you right , I thought to myself. I had wanted to do that to him since we’d first broken up. Many nights, I had laid in my bed crying, wanting so bad to hurt him like he hurt me and today he was so lucky that we were seated in the car or I might have just kicked the crap out of his blasted boner, making sure
