Keegan pulled his car into the driveway of the lake house. He sat there for a moment and looked toward her place. After leaving Canada a month ago, he had done some thinking and he left partly for Nash, being there for him gave him the escape that he needed from what was going on between him and his wife. He also did it to truly give Charisma the space she so desperately needed. He had heard her conversation with Lena and it did hurt him deeply, Now here he was again and he didn't quite know how he felt. He got out of the car and walked to the door, he still had the key to her place, he looked at it for a second but he decided against it and placed it back into his, instead he knocked.
Charisma opened the door. She stood for a second and looked at him. "Well... are you gonna invite me in?.." he said to her his tone deep which aroused her immediately.
"Yeah... sorry... you just look so... different...
"I've been working out..." he mocked. "You just haven't seen me in a month... I've done nothing extra....
"How's Nash...
"did you ask me here to talk about him?"
"No.." she took a deep breath. "I just didn't want it to be awkward today.. for our baby girl's birthday party.."

"What do you think is gonna happen?." He said. "We're done right... so....what more is there to talk about?.. I won't be causing any trouble for anyone.... He stopped talking as she dropped the long cardigan that she had been wearing to reveal herself in just her bra and thong. "C... where are the kids?....
"With Beth...
He couldn't take his eyes off of her body. "What are you doing?.."
"Counselling has been going really well... and I... well... all I've been thinking about is you..."
"C...
"Please don't say anything... I'm yours....
Keegan kept his composure and he picked up her cardigan, he handed it to her. He shook his head. "This is not the way.... A month ago you were saying you couldn't see yo self with me anymore... we've barely spoken in that time and now you're asking me to fuck you... because you suddenly feel better?.... You confuse me C..." He sat on the couch.
"Have you seen.... Have you had sex since we split?... is that why you don't want me?.."
"We split... Ion know what this is C... but it can't happen..
"What have you been doing in LA?.."
"Lookin' after Nash and his stubborn ol' ass.... He won't let anyone else know about the cancer and some days he can barely move... he's expecting me to keep dad off the scent.. tell him that we're workin' on some Albanian Intel... you know how Nash is....
Charisma pulled her cardigan tightly around her. "Do you want coffee?.."
"Naw... I want you to sit for a minute so that we can talk.." he told her certainly. She sat down in the chair opposite him and took a deep breath. Keegan looked at her. "I'm not even contemplating coming back to you yet... or if ever..."
