her.  Please. Just let me get away from...HIM!  
         She thankfully reached her car, but as
soon as she opened the door, a hand grabbed her arm. She spun around and jerked
away.
     “Don’t touch me!” she hissed. If she had been a cat,
the fur would've been standing up on her neck.
     Amir took a step back and held up both hands.
“Alright! Didn’t you hear me calling you?”
     “Yes, I heard you, and the fact that I didn’t stop was
a clue that I have no desire to talk to you.”
     Amir raised an eyebrow and a bewildered look settled
on his face. "Alexis, wait. Can you just give me five minutes? How have
you been? What are you doing in Atlanta?”
     Alexis glared at him and rolled her eyes, not
bothering to answer as she got in the car and locked the doors. Putting the car
in drive, she tore away from the curb.
         Amir quickly jumped back. “Hey!!”
         He watched the taillights of her car
speed out of sight. “What the fuck??” he whispered to himself, still looking in
the direction that Alexis’ car had disappeared in. He stood there deep in
thought until Soul walked over beside him.
     “A’ight…you gonna tell me what’s goin’ on? How do you
two know each other?”
     Amir shook his head. He opened his mouth to speak, then
closed it again, not even knowing where to start.
         Soul frowned. It wasn’t like Amir to be
at a loss for words - especially over a woman. “Come on. Let’s take a walk.”
     Soul remained silent and just waited as Amir fell into
step with him. After about five minutes, Amir started telling Soul about what
happened ten years ago between him and Alexis. The two men had walked around
the block and were making their way back towards Soul’s house by the time he
finished.
     “So you mean to tell me, when you came out of the
bathroom, she was gone, and you haven’t seen her since?”
     “Yep. I tried to call her cell phone a couple of times
then finally threw on some clothes and went over to her hotel room but no one
was there. I went back to my room to see if she’d come back, but she hadn’t.”
         Soul lifted a brow in astonishment at the
last statement. Amir Montgomery? Running after a woman??
         Amir fell into a brief silence as if
reliving that time. “I tried to tell myself, screw it. Forget about her. I went
down and met up with the fellas, but kept finding myself looking around
everywhere on the off chance that I’d see her but…”
     “So you think she heard you and those knuckleheads
being assholes.”
     Amir shrugged. “She must have. That’s the only thing
that I can think of. We had such a good time with each other. I mean, that
night….damn. I'd never experienced anything like that. I must’ve gone back to
her hotel room about ten times before I caught up with her friends. And then
all they would tell me was that she'd left. They had no idea what happened, but
from their attitude it was clear they thought I was to blame.”
     “Well, you were,” Soul told him bluntly.
     "No shit. You said she and Sharon work together?
How long has she lived here?”
     “About three or four months. Apparently the company
jumped through hoops to woo her into taking the position.”
     Amir's expression grew reflective as they stood in
front of Soul’s house. “She was so damned hostile towards me just now. Yeah, I
know it was fucked up the way things turned out, but that was a decade ago. I
was young and said some things I shouldn’t have. Why would she still be holding
a grudge after all this time?”
     “Who knows? Just try to forget about it, man. We’ll
never understand women. Speaking of which, let’s go back inside before mine
kicks both our asses for duckin' out of her party for so long.”
     
     
         By the time Alexis pulled up to her house, she was
still in shock. Turning the ignition off, she
