Let's face it

As the car is moving Alex thinks about everything she's done, the good and the bad. She has made lot's of mistakes in her life, so why now they matter? Why do people care now? What changed? She remembers the time she started living this life, it was about surviving, it's still about surviving, but everything changed.

All her life she has been focusing on her career, on what's beneficial for her, not caring if she hurt others. Now it's all raining down back on her, hard, threatening to take her down, but she won't let that happen, she's Alex Levy and she's been through a lot. She managed to survive in a men world and that's not going to be in vain.

As her thoughts run through her head her phone buzzes and she looks at the screen. It's a text from Mitch.

"We need to talk. I'll wait for you, I'm home."

Alex sighs "take me to Mitch's please". Her driver looks at her through the mirror questioning her, but quickly nods.

The way to Mitch's house seems like an eternity. Alex wasn't expecting this to blow up so fast. She wasn't expecting a simple kiss to have so many consequences, but who is she fooling, it was not a simple kiss, it was not a simple relationship or a simple friendship, everything is complicated now.

A flash gets her out of her thoughts and she blinks a couple times before focusing her eyes out the window. What she sees shocks her for a minute. Lots of paparazzi out of Mitch's gate, not surprising, but what shocks her is the fact that they arrived so quickly, did they know she was going to see him? Was it a trap?

"Should we go?" Her driver asks.

"Yes yes... please" Alex says and quickly gets her phone to call Mitch.

"Alex" Mitch answers sounding relieved "are you on your way?"

"Your gate is full of photographers Mitch"

"Fuck, they arrived quickly"

"Yeah... listen I don't think this is a good idea, if it wasn't enough with the photos already out, now they have pictures of me going to see you. God everyone must be thinking we are lovers."

"We..."

"Don't you dare Mitch"

"Sorry"

"Listen I got to go, I'll call you later"

"Alex no... wait, please come over, your car can drop you in the woods behind my house like before."

"Mitch..."

"Come on Alex, we need to talk."

"Oh Fuck ok" Alex throws her phone on the seat and sighs.

"Drop me in the woods behind his house"

"Are you sure?" Her driver asks.

"No" she looks at him.

"Ok"

Her car stops and she looks around to see if there are more people around, but it seems to be safe.

Carefully she makes her way through the woods, her mind screaming, telling her this is not a good idea. Everything he has done to her, the pain he caused her, she's ignoring it.

The house makes itself visible for Alex as she walks closer to it. From where she is she can see Mitch in the kitchen waiting for her. He seems nervous, perhaps anxious. He's just walking in circles, until he notices her, he stops in front of the window and smiles. Alex is not sure if he's happy or relieved, but the smile on his face seems honest.

She walks towards the door and reaches towards it to open it, but it opens before she even touches it to reveal Mitch with the same smile as before.
