"Five years and that's all you have to say to me?" he asked. Standing so close she could taste his breath.

She wanted to move away from him. But she didn't want him to know just how much he affected her. So she stood right there. She wasn't going to let him intimidate her.


"Well... Is there anything else you want me to say?" she asked 

The side of his mouth moved upwards.

He was smiling? Why the hell was he smiling like that? She thought. She didn't remember saying anything funny.

"You left... Kitty" he said. "I asked you to stay... Begged you to stay... And you left anyways.. With him. And now you come back... Acting like everything is okay between us...?"

There was something about him... She thought. Something about the way he called her 'Kitty' that made her heart flip. He was the only one who called her that. She hadn't even realized how much she missed him calling her that. 

"You shouldn't have gone with him". He said. 

"Oh really? Why not? Because you didn't want me to?" she asked. She was starting to get angry. 

"Yeah that's right" he replied. "And because of what you felt for me -what we felt for each other. When I came near you, you felt an excitement so intense that you ceased to breathe --like you are feeling right now. You wanted me just as much as I wanted you. And that should have been enough to make you stay"

ALWAYS BEEN YOU 

"So how did you and my brother meet?" Alexa asked. 


"Ermm.. We met some months ago. February to be precise. We have a mutual friend and we met at his place." 


"How serious are you guys" Alexa asked. 


Emma smiled. "You don't beat around the bush do you?" she asked. 


Alexa laughed. "It's better to say things as they are. Don't you think? You know we'd all want to know that. I'm just really curious..Daniel says I talk too much but I don't care". 


Emma laughed then she nodded. "Just like your brother" she said. "Daniel and I met in February, but we got together just two months ago" Emma said. Trying to truthful. 


"I kinda work for him too. And I'm guessing he hasn't told you a lot about us... So I think it would be better if you just ask him.... If you wanna know how serious this thing is. I hope you understand.. But I don't want to... You know..".
