asked.
    “ Hi Becky. Yeah I'm a lot better. Thanks for asking. ”
    “ Glad to hear that. Hold tight I'll get Walt. ”
    Minutes later my boss, Walter Warfield a tough old bird with a soft heart picked up the phone. “ Hi Toy. Happy Holidays! ”
    “ Happy Holidays to you too Walt. ”
    “ How are you feeling? ”
    “ Much better, thanks. ”
    “ Good, because the District Attorney's office wants to meet to discuss the Steve Madison case before it goes to trial. ”
    “ Steve Madison... What do they want to discuss? Are they offering a deal? ”
    “ Toy, I don't know. All I know is that they're making a onetime offer and they want to meet with you today. ”
    “ Walt it's New Year's Eve and I'm off. I made plans for tonight. ”
    “ I know and I hate to ask you to, but you need to come in and handle this. You're the only one that's versed enough on the case to take care of this. You know I wouldn't ask you to unless I had no other choice. So meet me here for a briefing at two. ”
    “ Okay. I'll be there. ” I reluctantly agreed.
    After hanging up the phone I realized that the Fairy Tale was now over. Sucked back into the turmoil of my oh so shitty, pre Logic life I realized that I had to leave Logic to go to fuckin work.
    “ This is bullshit! ” I screamed.
    ~*~*~
    I entered the bedroom to find Logic in the shower. Frustrated that I didn't really have time to join him I set on the bed and tried to find a way to tell him that I had to go.   In retrospect it really wouldn't have been hard to do if he wasn't so damn go od and hard all of the damn time. Oh yeah and if I ironically had not just told him that I was about to take all my shit and run.
    Too pressed for time to wait my turn in the shower I decided to go to another master suite to shower. The feminine decor was breathtakingly beautiful, but the new designer clothes that hung in the closet were awe inspiring. Dresses, suits, evening gowns, jeans, coats, bags and even shoes- new with price tags still on them, filled the giant walk in closet. Incredibly they were all my size. There's a God and he loves me. Oh my God here it comes and there it goes, orgasm number four.
    “ What the fuck! ” I gasped.
    “ Oh yeah, those are yours too. Pick out what you want and I'll donate the rest to charity. ” Logic's deep voice nonchalantly responded.
    “ Logic are you serious? ”
    “ Don't start Toy... You promised. ”
    “ I know but this is way too... ”
    “ Zatoya Waters... Stop! Take what you want and give the rest away. ” Logic insisted as he continued to towel himself dry without a care in the world.
    “ Alright. I'm not even going to go there, right now, but... ”
    “ Then don't. ” Logic abruptly interrupted. “ What did your boss want? ” He asked as he tied the towel around his waist and set on the gigantic California King size sleigh bed.
    “ Oh yeah. ” I sighed. “ I got to go back to DC. ”
    “ For how long? What's wrong? ”
    “ I have to meet with the prosecutor of an important case that I'm working on. She's offering a onetime only deal for a client of mine that could really use a break. I'm the only one that knows the case well enough to broker a good deal. So I have to take the meeting. ”
    “ How long is it going to take? ” He asked a little disappointed.
    “ See that's the thing. ” I hesitated. “ The meeting will be over and done no later than six, but... ”
    “ But what? ”
    “ The Mayor's Holiday Ball is tonight and I have to attend. ” I waited for a response, but Logic didn't offer one. “ So, I'm not sure if I'll be up for a drive to Baltimore after that. I don't really want to go but I have to. ”
    “ So, you're not coming back to Baltimore tonight. ”
    “ No, I don't see how I can. ”
    “ Alright, I needed to talk to you about something anyway, so we might as well do it now. ”
    Instantly something or someone sucked the air out of my chest as I realized that this man was about to dump me on my ass.
