This is crazy how the connection, aura, energy that happens when our bodies are together. I can't get enough of him, in a short amount of time. But in the back of my mind, someone is going to get hurt. Is it the age factor? Yes it is. It has to be. This has to be. It will always be. 

He picks up his pants, starts to put it on. I walk behind him and pick up his shirt. I look up at him. Why do I feel like shit now. I hate how he has a hold of me. I hand him his shirt.

"Alix," he says taking the shirt from my hand, then putting it on.

"Joe, please, lets not," I say, as I walk over to my luggage.

"Jesus, Alix, why can't I ever talk to you without you telling me to stop or get out?" He snaps as I take out a t-shirt from my luggage.

"Why didn't you call me? What the fuck Joe" slipping it on

"Where you with your assistant?"  looking at him feeling hurt.

"What are you talking about. Who? Crystal?"

"Yes, her. Why didn't you tell me about her? The bitch that called you at 1 am right. You're a fucking liar. Since day one, you've been playing me."

"Stop cursing Alix" he snaps as he's trying to slip on his shoes, frustrated.

"This is how you make me feel..you think I like cursing, I've never cursed at Michael in the 18 years I was married to him"

"I'm not Michael"

"Obviously" I snap. I walk away toward the other side of the bed, by the nightstand.

"Joe, Why did you do This? You came here knowing I would sink"

"I don't know? I'm just as confused as you are" he looks down as he passes his hand through his hair. Still frustrated.

"Oh, so now you're confused. You came here knowing what will happen, and yet you don't care on how this will affect me?"

"No i didn't I--

I cut him off. "Yes you do. You know exactly what your doing."

He chuckles

"What is so funny. This is funny to you" I yell waving my hands around

"Look at us Alix"

"Look at what?"

"Us, this" he waves his hand to both of us

"Don't give me sh..you know"

"You haven't answered me? Where you with Crystal? did you too go back and finally decide to marry her?"

"What? he says as he raises an eyebrow.

"You heard me Joe" throwing my underwear at him that I picked up from the floor. He grabs it with his hand.

"Your sister told me you and the Blonde have dated for 2 years, Joe 2 years and yet you come to seduce me in my home, then tell her, give you 5 minutes and leave"

"She has a name Alix" looking at me shaking his head "And Alix-that day i was on the phone telling my driver to give me 5 minutes, and you told me to leave, remember"

"You think I give a SHIT what her name is or who picked you up" I cross my arms against my chest.

"And to top it all off, she works for you-I thought you were a consultant? Why do you need an assistant, especially one, you used to have sex with for two years"

"Oh wait, your telling me a consultant does not need an assistant?" He snaps

"What about that morning when you said about board meetings, Joe what kind of Consultant are you?"
