Helen lifted the coffee
mug to her lips. It was three in the morning but her work was unfinished. The
door creaked open. Bob entered with a bag of chips.
"Thought you could
use some company." His too manly presence closed in on her.
Former lovers.
Now best friends. Those old feelings she locked away came flooding
back. "Thanks." She smiled, fighting off the heat that crept up her
cheeks.
"This can wait. You
need a break."
Shrugging off unwanted
emotions, Helen stared into her coffee. "How's Sylvia?"
"We broke
off."
"I'm sorry."
Helen leaned forward to comfort him with a friendly hug.
His mouth slanted over
hers. Her lips parted. Buried emotions overwhelmed her; she lost herself in
their kiss.
Bob pulled back.
"Sorry. I forgot myself. I just couldn't stay away from you anymore."
His eyes dilated as they devoured her.
"Then don't."
Her lips met his again.
