After James placed the bags in the bedroom, he sat on the couch with Leila.

Leila: It has been too long & I’ve missed you too, James, but I can’t be entertaining these feelings I have.

James inches closer to her. He looked her in the eyes & looks at her angelic face. He looked at her luscious lips & remembered the way they tasted. He remembered the day she gave him head & how her lips felt sucking on his dick.

James: Feelings?

James moves Leila’s hair from her shoulders & he slid Leila’s dress strap over her shoulder to caress & kiss her neck & shoulders.

Leila: James... James, we can’t.

James: We’ve already done something.

Leila: But whatever this is. It has to stop.

James: Does it? I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about us over the past few months. We can be together, Leila. Don’t you want that? Don’t you want me?

Leila shakes her head, pulls away from James & pulls her strap back up over her shoulders.

She walks away from James & James gets up & grabs her hand.

James: Because I sure as hell want you. I’ve wanted you from the moment I first laid my eyes on you.

Leila looks up at him. He was so sincere. She looked deep in his eyes.

James: I’ve never wanted anything... Anyone so badly.

You could hear a pin drop & could cut the passion in the room with a knife.

James: Leila, I love you.

Leila remained silent. She’d be lying if she said she didn’t have any feelings for James because deep within her heart, she did. She wished she had met James before she met Vance. Vance helped her finish up college strong. He motivated her to graduate at the top of her class. It was because of him she gained all that experience as an intern. Vance gave her her first job. She owed a lot to him.
