The Lion & Lioness

Awkawrd.

I don't know what one would call what we did last night but I can't do it again. I didn't even dream, I just replayed the night over and over in my head. Now when I close my eyes, I feel his lips on mine. Naturally I left after we were finish, not because I didn't want to be near him anymore. But because it's what I'm used to doing. Craziest part was, I missed him the second, I made it to my room. Which was completely out of my norm.

I got up early and asked Monty bring me into the city. My car wouldn't start and I need time away to process what happened. I know I didn't have sex with him, because my hormones were raging. I've experienced that before- the attraction is high, we have sex and then it disappears. I've never missed anyone after. I'm always eager to get away and I struggled with it this time.

Since my old building decided to toss out all my things and the kind citizens in the area decided to take them as their own. I need to buy everything new. I stopped at a few shops in the area, got some undergarments, clothes and books. Missed breakfast so I stopped at this cute diner for lunch. The prices are insane but I'm hungry and I can afford it.

"Zyla, why are you eating alone?" Ona approaches my table.

"Was doing some shopping and my stomach started growling." I get up to hug her.

"Zions here, come dine with us. Linda when her food is ready send it to our table." She says to the waitress walking by.

"He must be doing great," I grab my things, following her lead.

"Zion. Look who I found." He quickly stands pulling up a chair for me.

"Thank you. You look well." I sit and he pulls out Ona's chair as well

"I'm feeling more and more like myself everyday. Thanks to you. How are you doing? Last time we saw you, you didn't look so good."He takes his seat handing me a menu.

"I'm doing much better, thanks to Ona. I helped you and she helped me." I smile, looking over the menu as if I didn't order already. I maybe a little nervous.

"I didn't do anything but make sure you were well enough to go home. You took care of yourself. Is that why you tried to return the deposit we sent?" She asks. The banks stay snitching on me.

"I tried to return it because I assumed the amount was a mistake. When I saw the block alert, I knew Alanis informed you that I'd try to return it. So it must have been intentional. Woah." I grab my charms all of a sudden my mom's warmed up.

"Are you ok," they both hop up.

"Oh I'm fine. Sorry, I got a chill. Must be the air." I lie, because that was weird and it could be all in my head. It could have been caught on my shirt and collected heat that way.

"That's how much I spent trying to figure out what was wrong with me. It was only fair to give it all to the person who was able to." He explains. As a rich person I guess it makes sense but it's still insane to me.

"You spent ten million on what?" My eyes grow wide and my mouth drops.

"No, about five between clinical medicine and natural. But you also saved my one and only grandson. I know Vic gifted you something for that but I wanted to show my gratitude as well." He grins.

"This is a crazy life I'm living. If someone would have told me three weeks ago, trying to sell myself for Jordan's freedom. Would make me a millionaire. I'd commit them. I went from having less than twenty thousand to my name. To having twenty-five million in one account." I accidentally state out loud, covering my mouth. That was suppose to be an inner thought.

"You were going to what?" Ona chokes on her water.

"I didn't know what I was walking into honestly. I cleared out my bank account to give that. Then I saw the house. Next best thing, was the only other thing I brought with me. Me. " I shrug taking a sip of my tea.
