The restaurant was excellent. Their table was quaint, quiet, and lit with candlelight. It was very romantic. While they wait for their dinner to arrive, they continued with mild conversation. I have no time. I have these deadlines I have to finish and a report I have to do. I just have no time." It occurred to him he didn't ask her if she was willing for this to happen. "Is this what you want, Charlotte," he asked with care. Alex, I'm sorry but I have to cancel our dinner date. I am overloaded at work. See you soon." Charlotte he would be disappointed, but she couldn't help it. She had work to do and that was important too. Hi! You must be Charlotte. I'm Mia Douglas. Mr. Cahill told me to be expecting you tonight. I have got a nice stew going and rolls in the oven. Upstairs, I have made up your bed."

No, not yet. I'm going to the paper in a few days and run an ad." He looked uneasy about his decision. He looked down at his plate and continued eating. Something was bothering him, Charlotte could tell. His eyes looked weary and he looked deeply stressed. Charlotte wished there was something she could do to ease his troubles. Her smile could light up a room, Alex thought to himself. "You said goodnight in the kitchen. What is it you really want?" He was getting hard just having her so close in this tiny room. I am getting out. You are never home. I rarely see you any more," Charlotte said with tears in her eyes. You have to be there to take of things. You never wanted to consider hiring an extra hand to help so you would be around more. Like I said, I will handle this child on my own. I just thought you'd want to know." Charlie didn't even wait for lunch. She was no longer hungry. She reached for her purse, slid out of the booth and left.Alex and Mia were setting the table in the kitchen when she arrived. They both looked at her and greeted her with a smile. She couldn't believe it. Alex was helping in the kitchen. The food smelled wonderful. She realized she hadn't eaten in over six hours. Definitely not good. All three gathered around the table for this gorgeous meal. She's fine. Her daughter will be coming in the next week. I had planned to give her a couple days off." Charlotte was beautiful tonight, he thought to himself. He needed to concentrate on the road, but her perfume. Was it new? No, no, he told himself. This wasn't going to get intimate tonight. It was just dinner. Was he jealous? Is that what this was about? "You don't like it now that the shoe is on the other foot, do you?"

Are you almost ready?" She wasn't ready for the voice behind her. Alex had followed her up after all. She whipped around so fast at the sound of his voice that she reached for her side in pain. She momentarily forgot about her injuries. Who says things have to be complicated? Things can be very simple. I love you and it is very obvious you still love me."I can't believe you're mad? It was an accident. It's just some papers any way. They didn't look important." Jill noticed her friend did not sound as happy as she should. Was there a hint of regret, Jill thought with a slight smile. "What is wrong, Charlie? You should be happy." Just as Charlotte put down the receiver, the doorbell rang. It was Alex. He was standing in the doorway with his Stetson Hat in hand. He looked almost dangerous. He was standing there in his tight jeans, white muscle bound t-shirt, and work boots. He was quite breath taking. No, I just walked in the door. You will not believe what I got today. Alex sent me flowers. Can you believe the nerve of that man?" I know I should be. But I have this empty feeling in my stomach." It was a mixture of sadness and a feeling of losing a part of her.

So how is the little one?" Just as Jill put her hand on Charlotte's stomach the baby moved." Wow, I think you have yourself a dancer in there," she said with a smile. Charlotte nodded in agreement, grabbed her sweater, and they were off. Charlotte tried her hardest to suppress her laughter. She had never seen him so filthy. "Are you alright," she asked spilling over with laughter.

He went around to his side and got in. Charlotte noticed he looked nervous. It was nice to see a different side of him. Who was this suited man sitting next to her and what did he do with Alex? He gently laid her down on the bed and started to take his shirt off. She stopped him. "Here let me," she said with lust in her eyes. She slowly unbuttoned his shirt, one button at a time. Once again his lips were upon hers. Next came the belt and then his pants. His head came from upon her mouth, her lips red and swollen from his kisses.
