"Nice view," he said standing beside the huge window. He turned around and took off his mask.

The same handsome face I have thought about so many times was staring back at me. So many emotions came forward, but the worst one was anger. I had missed him so much and not seeing him had become a part of the norm, but something just didn’t feel right tonight.

"Why are you here?"

"I received an invitation."

"It’s been almost nine months and no word from you and then you show up tonight."

"I’ve missed you."

"Yeah right! Do you honestly think I believe you? What am I boo boo the fool?" I leaned back against the door.

"I’ve missed our banter," he said smiling coyly.

"Are you staying? I have other guests to attend too."

"No, I leave in four hours and I won’t be back for a while. The pipeline is being built and I have to stay to make sure it’s built correctly."

"How long will that take?"

"About two years."

"Two years!" I shouted. He nodded his head.

"How long have you been in town?" I asked with my hands on my hips.

"Three days."

My eyes widen. "Wow and you didn’t even call. I guess your girlfriend has you on lockdown. You need to hurry back before she starts to panic," I said pointing my finger and rolling my eyes.

"I don’t have a girlfriend and why are you so mad? This attitude goes deeper than me not calling. I thought you would’ve been happy to see me."

"Yell no! You up and left. Not one single word to tell me you would be gone for months." I said poking him in his chest.

"Ouch! I’m sorry," he said with his hands raised.

"Yeah you are!"

He looked at me strange. His eyebrows bunched up.

"You’re right Paul it’s more than a phone call. I’m so fucking stupid. Here I am waiting on a man that is not even interested. I should have learned my lesson a long time ago." I felt my eyes stinging.

Shit that wasn’t suppose to come out. Damn it!Me and my big assdiarrhea mouth! I held my head down and shook my head walking away.

"Cad?"

"You were just suppose to be a client to me. Lilly warned me but I don’t listen. Clients come and go so I had just written you off and I was fine somewhat. I figured I would eventually get over you. I didn’t think I would ever see you again and then you come tonight. You came to fuck with my head, but you know what? A good stiff dick comes a dime a dozen. You are just one of many."

I shook my head. I was so freaking pissed at myself.

"There is this guy. He is good to me. Treats me like a queen and he loves me. He accepts me and all my faults," I smiled.

"But then I was so excited when I saw you tonight Paul. But then I walked into this room and saw the man behind the mask, I became angry."

"I didn’t mean...," he said as I held up my hand for him to stop.

"Let me finish." He nodded.

"Then I questioned myself why am I here with you instead of getting on a plane to Germany to be with him? Because of you I can’t even tell him I love him back because you stand in the way and it makes me want to hurt you, but I can’t." I shook my head and smoothed my slightly sweaty hands down my dress.

"But you know what the real problem is? I’m a sucka for punishment and you have taken a piece of me that I can’t give to him. I understand you have a job but you could have at least called me or told me I was wasting my time. I was worried about you. I considered you far more than a friend."

"I can’t love you like you need to be loved, but I do care for you."

"No you don’t."

"Don’t do this Cad."

"Do what Paul?"

"Make this harder than it has to be. This just isn’t our time."

"Fuck you Paul. I’m outta here." I turned the knob and I was stopped by two strong arms.

"Don’t worry I will." He whispered in my ear and moved back.

I whipped my head around almost giving myself whiplash. "Ugh! I hate you!" I said as I gripped the door knob.

"No you don’t, please just stay."

"Why should I stay? You been gone for months with no communication. I know you have my private number."

"I dialed it so many times. I can’t get attached to you because you are my weakness and I can’t afford to have a weakness. This project has taken up my whole life and it’s the opportunity I have been waiting on for years. I haven’t seen my family in months AND YOU ARE NOT APART OF MY PLAN!"

I jumped at his words. How is it he’s angry at me? He brushed his hair back and let me go letting out a deep breath.

"Sorry," he said wiping his face. "I didn’t mean to yell.

"Sorry for what? Telling the truth!"

"It wasn’t suppose to come out like that. I’ve missed you. I know you have a lot going on with your sisters and school and you need to focus."

"What a way to change the subject."

"Cad please. I didn’t come here to fight with you."

"Then what’s the real reason you came?" My breathing had picked up. I was so furious at him right now.

"I really wanted to see you, feel you, and be with you." He said holding his hand out.

I looked at him and his hand like he was crazy.

"I’m sure your Arabic princess keeps you warm at night. Do you think she would be jealous if she knew you were here with your slut? By the way did you turn in your medical papers?"

"Cad, stop it!"

"Look if you want to fuck me, you paid for it. Let’s just get this over with so I can continue with my night."
