My ears echoed with the beautiful words Brett used, to show his heart, his love for me. The small things he did reminding me who I belong to. I missed him, craved him, I wanted to belong to him again. I felt better after Jimmy and Thomas left. What they said made sense. I have to claim him, show him he is mine and Mine only. But first I have to apologize to him.

It took me a week to plan and arrange all the things I wanted to do before I met him. I was nervous and anxious, but I had to go through with it. I mean, I probably wouldn't have done any of the things I planned, but for him..... anything.

So on Friday afternoon, I dressed up in red and walked confidently into his office. Stella did a double take on me from her desk as I walked onto the floor from the elevator. She grinned suddenly and got up from her chair.

"Am I glad to see you?" She said smiling, as I hugged her.

"Why do you say that?"

"He has been unbearable these past few weeks. Please take him back" She said rolling her eyes. I laughed a little, feeling better, and knowing he did miss me.

"Can I see him now?" I asked indicating towards his office.

"Please," she said, showing her hands towards the door.

I knocked twice before I opened the door and walked in. Brett was turned away from me, reading some papers from his printer.

"I am sorry, this is a private meeting. Can you please leave." I turned to look at the person, the voice was coming from. Scarlet. She was seated on the chair across from Brett's table, looking so beautiful, unblemished and attractive. I started feeling nervous and anxious again. But I had to do this.

Brett looked up from his paper, "Sunshine........" he said looking at me astonished.

"Miss Scarlet, is it? Big fan." I said walking towards her and shaking her hand. She looked at me to Brett perplexed at my reaction.

I looked at Brett, his face a mask void of any emotions. Mustering all my confidence, I cleared my throat. "Brett can I talk to you?.... I know you are busy..." I was interrupted by Scarlet.

"Who are you? How did you just barge in here? Brett Say something." she intervened.

"That's what I am here to find out? Who am I ? will let you know once I get a little clarity." I said smiling bright, I walked over to Brett, took hold of his hand, and pulled him to walk out the room.

"Hey.... What....whats happening here?" Scarlet stuttered getting off her chair.

"A few minutes Scarlet," Brett said turning towards her, as I continued to pull him out the door.

We walked into an empty conference room. I let go of his hand and shut the door. He turned looking at me, still no emotion on his face.

"Hey .. " I said suddenly losing all my confidence looking at his face.

He didn't answer but folded his arms his face changing into a glare. I couldn't take it anymore. Being so close to him brought all those emotions back, even though I tried, my eyes grew wet. I took a step towards him, unfolded his arms, and hugged him tightly burying my face in his chest. He didn't move, as his body grew stiff for a minute before he relaxed and his arms went around me.
