Axell pleaded, Can we talk, please? Jessie knew he wouldnt give up, so she shut the door.


    She faced him squarely.


    Were from different worlds, Axell! You aim for sess and climbing up the socialdder but I just want a simple life. Last night you wanted to end things, now youve changed your mind? Maybe you think you care about me, but if you did, you wouldnt want to break up in the first ce.


    If I forgive you today, who knows if youll change your mind again one day? Will you reject that woman? You wont! Youll convince yourself you had no choice. Youre not cheating; you just cant say no.

    Loves a two-way street, she insisted.

    After a pause, she replied softly, Lets keep it civil, Axell.


    Theres no need to me someone else entirely. Werent you ready to bail because of his cashst night? You just regret it now.

    Unaware, she approached the apartment building.


    Suddenly, a figure lurked in the shadows. Startled, she was pulled into a tight embrace.

    She tried to protest, but he silenced her with a kis which was hungry and fervent.


    Recognizing his scent of tobo, she pushed him away, anger and shyness mingling within her.


    Albert stumbled back, wary of her safety near his lit cigarette, which he promptly stubbed out.
