Addison Waters

I was about to knock on Ethan's door, until I felt nothing but air. The door opened rather quickly.

"Were you spying on me through the peep hole?"

"Maybe.."

"Weirdo." I jokingly mumbled as I walked past him.

"Hey! What if I was waiting for the delivery guy."

"You two have plans?" I smirked.

"You jealous?"

I chuckled before setting my purse down.

"Very."

"I see."

"Okay, enough jokes. What did you want to talk about?"

"Anything, really. I just wanna have a conversation with you."

"Really?"

"Is that so hard to believe?"

"Well, yeah."

He smiled as he shook his head, "So, how was your day?"

"Well from what I told you in the car, very aggravating."

He nodded as he looked into my eyes, being completely focused on what I had to say.

"I just-never mind." I looked down.

"No, tell me."

"You're gonna get mad."

"I promise I won't." He chuckled.

"Fine. I'm just, kind of regretting agreeing to the sex deal."

"Kind of?"

"Yeah..um, like don't get me wrong, the sex is great,"

"That it is. Wait, not amazing? Incredible? Indescribable?"

"Ethan," I chuckled. "You're getting off topic."

"Sorry sorry, continue."

"I didn't mention this on the phone, cause I wasn't sure how you'd take it, but-" I sighed,

"He didn't hire me because of the reason we got fired from our last job."

His face grew of a shocked, and guilty expression.

"How did he even know?"

"Apparently, whatever happens at your previous jobs, good or bad. Stays on your record."

"There's no way to control what goes on it?"

"I'm not sure, but probably not. It sounds too good to be true."

"How many times has this happened Addy?"
