Alicia

I took AJ home after Alec had stalked into his room. Alec was heated and I felta twinge guilt. The cold dull look in his eyes when he gave into my offer gaveaway that he wasn't happy not was he willing to do so. I drove furiously back tomy apartment and ruses in with AJ on my hip still asleep.

As soon as I put AJ in his bed I sat on the kitchen floor and sighed.

What am I going to do?

Alec is back in my life. He wants AJ, but just said he wouldn't take me to court. Derrick is being framed for stealing and possession of drugs from his college.

And I have to take care of AJ!

"Gah!" I exclaimed in frustration and grabbed my hair threatening to rip it all out and go for an Amber Rose chic look.

I can't believe all the shit I have to deal with. It hasn't even been a week since Alec Handler has walked back into my life and already it's upside down.

But maybe some good things have come out of this.

AJ has met and adores his father. His father adores him more than OCD people adore soap. Im reuniting slowly with my only brother and his fiancée.

Hmm, maybe it's been a good week.

--------------------

I walked into the building again clad in my four inch heals tight business skirt and sleeveless cream blouse perfect for the hot New York weather.As I click-clacked to the elevator through the lobby I got many stares of admiration from men. As I entered the elevator a hand shot out to keep the doors from closing shut.A young man of no more than about, 23 stood there a briefcase in hand and probably about $2,000 on his back. He was certainly a sight. He was tall, tan,sharp angular features, and had a lean body you could see through his suit.

"You know staring at me to the 24th floor is pretty creepy." He said in a deep voice which startled me.

My cheeks burned as I realized I had been analyzing him.

"Aww don't get embarrassed," He cooed teasingly, 'You're not the first to stare."

I rolled my eyes and huffed childishly crossing my arms over my chest.

On the 22nd floor the elevator jumped and shook while Mr. Hottie and I stumbled around. The alarm went off and the emergency light flashed.

We were stuck.

"Damnit!" We both exclaimed at the same time.

I quickly pulled out my Blackberry and called Felicity.

"Gains and Handler. Felicity speaking how may I direct your call?" Felicity answered.

"City! Oh my gosh you will never believe what just happened to me." I ranted as I sat down awkwardly trying not to flash my underwear.

"What's wrong Alicia? Is AJ okay?" She asked worriedly.

"AJ is fine. He's with his grandmother but I'm stuck in a motherfu*king elevator with some stranger!"

"Aw crap that thing broke down again? Geesh that thing needs a tune up! Last time it broke down it was three hours before it was back up and running chica!"

"THREE HOURS?!" I yelled into the phone. "I have a case to review and win damnit!

I can be stuck in this elevator!"

"Don't worry the techs will have you out in no time." and with that she hung up.

I swore under my breath and I noticed that Mr. Hottie was also on his iPhone.
