FIGHTING FOR WILLA

Chapter 2

Alex

I was still reeling from the surprise of seeing Willa after five years. Five very fucking long years.

After only a few minutes of seeing her I am thrown back into old memories. Memories of us laughing, kissing, making love, and also the betrayal , the hurt I had caused. I shake my head as if trying to rid myself of the painful memories.

I can't deny that something has come alive in me somewhere near the region of my heart. I've been dead for years it's because I didn't have her.She has always been my heart.

Engaged fucking engaged. I almost punched my fist through a wall when I registered the word fiance.

I'm slammed with regret. The regret of leaving the one girl I truly love. Now she's with Mark whatever ,just imagining him with Willa, my Willa makes me seeth with anger and hatred.

I dial HR my fingers ticking restlessly against my desk. After seeing Willa all my plans for the evening have been forsaken.
"Allen" I begin when HR picks up "I need information on someone you recently hired Mark White. "

"Yeah sure first thing to tomorrow morning sir. "He replies.

"I need it tonight ,now right now ."I say in a hard tone.

"Can't this wait until morning sir? "He has the balls to ask.

"No it can't and I expect you to do your damn job and deliver when I ask for something. "I say in a deadly voice my fists clenching.

"Yes absolutely sir n-no prob-blem sir. "Allen stammers out.

"Great. "I grit out highly annoyed with the incompetence of this guy. I should probably look into hiring a new head of HR .

I end the call, looking at the view from my office my thoughts wander to Willa and when I will be able to see her again.

********************************
Willa

You know that out of world feeling you sometimes get when something just feels impossible like it isn't really happening. That's about how I feel at the moment.I know I was just with him but it feels like an illusion .

It took me a long time to build some semblance of a normal life without him ,and now after five years of getting used to him not being there he is just back as if nothing happened. I feel like I'm back to square one .

The buildings flash by blending into one as we head home. My emotions are in a state of turmoil. I am irate but at the same time overjoyed to see him again I have dreamed of seeing him countless times although it went a little different in my head.

I'm snapped out of my thoughts when I see the familiar surroundings of our apartment block.

I set the keys down on the table as we enter our home. I head to our bedroom to change and Mark follows.

"I just have a few things to finish up then I'm coming to bed ,how are you feeling? "Mark asks leaning in the doorway.

I'm confused for a moment then recall my lie in order to escape the party. "Yeah I'm alright just a slight headache. "I reply feigning pain. "I am just gonna take an Asprin and crawl into bed. "I peck him on the cheek on my way to the medicine cabinet.

Mark heads into his study and I call my best friend ,Calla. Calla was their through everything in the days after Alex left and only she knew everything that happened and what impact Alex's absence had on me.

She picks up and I start before she has the chance to."I saw him, him Alex him and my heart leapt for a moment but then I was really angry and now I feel kinda sad and did I mention he is Mark's boss so now I'm probably going to see him again I'm so confused and unsure. "I ramble and finally take a breath.

There is silence on the other line and then Calla answers"What I got out of all that was that you saw Alex again and you're seriously freaking out girl. "

"That's the gist of it."I sigh raking my hand through my hair.

"So tell me exactly what happened. " Calla replies.

I tell her everything and she waits for me to finish. "So what should I do?" I ask gnawing at my bottom lip.

"You should probably tell Mark about your history, you don't want him finding out from someone else ,and Alex, I know you don't want to hear this but you have to talk -" "No I refuse. "I interrupt.

"to him, to finally get closure. "Calla finishes anyway.
I hate it when you're right, I pout childishly even though she can't see me.

"I'm almost always right, and stop pouting."She chuckles through the phone and I can feel her smirk.

I hear footsteps and say a quick goodbye to Calla and then end the call. Mark enters the room and I smile "All done? " I ask.

"Yeah who was that?"he asks in a suspicious tone. "Just Calla, checking in seeing how things are. "I lie without even flinching.

He gives a nod and enters the bathroom turning on the shower. I hear my phone ping with an incoming text and pick it up to see who is texting me so late .

Guess who pretty girl.

I stare at the phone rereading the message. Only one person calls me that.

Alex?

I chew on my fingernail waiting for a reply.

Good guess, I suppose that means I'm on your mind.

How the hell did you get my number?
I type furiously.

Dream a dream of me.
Something naughty I hope.

I stare in anger at his blatant arrogance.

I shut off the phone without replying.
Something inside me says this is only the beginning...
