  She freed herself from his light grasp and his hypnotizing
whispers.   Walking straight to her room
without looking back.  
    Once safely tucked
behind her bedroom door, she leaned against the wood and prayed for the
strength to resist Alexander Porter.  
    ~*~*~*~
    “Alex what are you
doing here?”   Roni questioned him
suspiciously as she gave him a welcoming hug.  
    “Since Derek was
helping you get settled, I figured I would lend a hand to Izzy.”   Alex shrugged.   He had been trying to get Izzy alone with him
to finish their discussion since the welcome home party.   Unfortunately, other since he screwed up
after their fun together, she wanted nothing to do with him.  
    His texts and calls had
been met with a level of hostility usually saved for terrorists.   He had even learned a few new four letter
words.   He knew his chances of ever getting
her to forgive him were slim to none, yet, here he stood in her living room
ready to get slapped again.  
    Roni assessed him for a
moment. “Fine, but be nice to her.   Or I
won’t do that data analysis you need on the forecasts.”   She threatened, poking him in the chest with
each word.  
    He laughed.   “Um, Roni, I’m your boss you have to do that
analysis no matter how I behave outside the office.”
    “True, but I don’t have
to present it for you.   So, be
nice!”   Her pale face scrunched into what
she must think was a threatening look but made her look constipated.  
    “Fine, I promise to be
nice.”  
    With one more
exasperated huff, she walked away.   Leaving him to go bother Izzy.   His favorite pass time.   He walked
to her bedroom door.   Walking right in
without knocking, because he knew it would get a reaction from her.   And right now he was dying for any type of
attention from her.  
    “What the fuck are you
doing in my room?   Did your mother only teach
Derek manners?” Izzy huffed at him.  
    He smiled, finally she
was acknowledging him again.   He walked
over and sat on the corner of her bed.   Bouncing a little to test the springs.    “Nice bed, pixie.”  
    “Glad you think so, but
this will be the only time you ever see my bed.”   She stood as far away from him as she possibly
could get without leaving the room.  
    “You’re being so mean
to me, and I am only here to help you settle into your new place.   Where are we moving you to anyway?” He
continued talking as though the look on her face didn’t give away that she was
plotting to murder him in a very creative way.   He would guess she even knew where and how she was going to hide his
body once the deed was done.  
    “Why?”
    “Why what?” He leaned
forward and peeked into the box sitting at his feet.   His hand was immediately slapped away.  
    “Why do you want to
help me settle into my new place?”  
    “I’m a nice person,
helping a friend out comes with the territory.”   He tried to peak in the box again.   This time she snatched the box away.   “Is that your box of panties?”   He
wiggled his eyebrows at her.  
    She blushed.   “Ugh, you are such a pain.   I can settle in by myself.   Now, go away.” She set the box down.   Putting two rows of packaging tape over the
top.  
    “You didn’t answer the
question, where are we moving you
to?” He moved back and rested his head against the headboard, with his hands
behind his head, he stretched out on her bed.  
    She let out a heavy
breath.   “Since you have decided to be
such a dear friend all of a sudden.   I am
moving into the Spire building on 14 th Street.”
    That had Alex’s
attention.   “Really, what floor?”  
    A few months ago Roni
and Izzy had lost a bet over a pool game, forcing Izzy to make dinner for him
at his home.   A night spent arguing over
everything except the big elephant in the room.   That night was the first time her had kissed her, since reuniting.   A kiss that proved the passion between them
was not left in Cabo.   A kiss
