I shouldn’t have,” he added. Desiree looked into his eyes and sighed.
    “ I need you to know that I had no part in this,” she said. Taylor looked at her and nodded.
    “ I know that” he said.
    “ And I also need you to know that if I had things my way, this would have never happened,” she said again. A smile played on Taylor’s lips.
    “ I know that, too,” he added.
    “ I told Mark that I would take a restraining order if he doesn’t leave me alone. This was his last warning,” she said. Taylor smiled again and nodded.
    “ That is the best news I have heard all day,” he said. There was a long silence as the two stood there, looking at each other. None of them really knew what to say. Nothing seemed suitable for that particular moment. For Desiree, those were the longest sixty seconds she had ever had to endure and for Taylor, it was the same thing.
    “ So are we still...” “The movie....”
    They both laughed when they realized that they had spoken up at the same time. Taylor leaned against the truck and looked into Desiree’s brown eyes.
    “You first,” he said smiling. She smiled and then shrugged before pushing a strand of her hair behind her ear.
    “ I wanted to find out if we were still on for the movie?” she asked. Taylor nodded.
    “ Of course we still are but I was thinking of getting a DVD and watch it in the house as we have dinner. It’s been a long time since the two of us spent any time together. Just us,” he said. Desiree smiled as she felt a tingle going down her spine.
    “ That would be great,” she said.
    “ So are you already done with everything or should we meet up at my place?” Taylor asked. She turned around and looked at the store and then looked at Taylor.
    “ I’ll get my things. I’ll just be a minute,” she said as she quickly walked into the store. She took a long deep breath as she made her way to the back where her office was located. She could hear Cynthia’s voice giving an earful to Mark. She shook her head. That man obviously needed a little more than basic logic to survive. When she opened the door, Cynthia went quiet as she and Mark looked at her. Desiree walked to her desk and picked up her bag before she whispered something to Cynthia. She then turned around and looked at Mark and rolled her eyes. “Give it up, Cynthia. This douche is not worth it,” she said. She was just about to walk out when Mark grabbed her hand. She looked at him in anger and attempted to pull her arm away. “Get your hands off me,” she hissed.
    “ This is my last offer, Young. I will never make this offer to you again,” he said.
    “ Perfect. I don’t have to deal with this nonsense anymore,” Desiree said, feigning laughter.
    “ Think about it,” Mark said. Desiree pulled her arm away and looked at him.
    “ there's nothing to think about,” she said before she walked out. Cynthia was all smiles as she watched Desiree walking out. Mark turned to look at her and shrugged.
    “ Guess she told you, huh?” Cynthia said as she smiled. Mark nodded.
    “ Guess she did. Too bad though. This would have been the beginning of a great business relationship,” he said. Cynthia shook her head.
    “ Humor me, why were you so bent on getting Desiree while you could have gotten just about anyone?” she asked. Mark picked up the file that had the contract and sighed.
    “ Desiree is an honorable woman and there are not so many of those around anymore. I know that we didn’t have the best start but there was one thing I knew I could always count on: her honesty when it came to matters that pertain to my company,” he said. Cynthia smiled and walked to the door and held it open.
    “ Well, good riddance to you, and don’t you dare think that we weren’t serious about getting the restraining order,” she said as she watched him walking out of the office. She held herself back from striking him. God knew she had wanted to do that ever since he acted like a fool in front
