I suppose you think I'm not making any sense at all."I kissed her lightly. "You're making a great deal of sense, Barb. Coming up here in the elevator I was looking forward to a really passionate time with you, but to tell the truth, I was quite surprised when Jim suggested it during dinner. I guess maybe I was also hoping for a chance. Going to bar actually seems pretty good now too!" Itensed, I wasn't ready for a jaunt to a bar with my ex-mistress in myhighly charged body.

I opened the door and let him in. "Sup dude!" I said. He started crying in my shoulder. "Dude what's wrong come sit down." We put clothes on to make him more comfortable. "Me and Kevin had a fight and he broke up with me!" he sobbingly said. Oh my god. That emo jerk. "Don't cry Jake its ok." I said. Me and Alex hugged helped calm him down while I hugged him. "It'll be okay. You can stay here overnight if you want. Theres salad in.
