alone.”
    “So. Say what’s on your mind.”
    “Whatever the fuck this crazy, irrational thing is. That’s what’s on my mind, Nick. Fuck, you’re married.”
    “I’m well aware of that fact.”
    “And?”
    “ And , in regards to the crazy, irrational thing between us. It was pretty fucking amazing last night, wasn’t it?”
    “Amazing doesn’t begin to describe it. But that’s not the point.”
    “What is the point, kid?”
    “It shouldn’t have happened. It won’t happen again.”
    “It will happen again.”
    “We are logical, intelligent...”
    “I’d like to think so.”
    “Completely incompatible.”
    “Completely.”
    “We have to learn to ignore the attraction.”
    “You can learn to do that?” He motioned for Angel to leave the office.
    “Come on, Nick. I’m trying to be serious.”
    He got up, walking to her. Placing his hands around her waist. Her breathing quickened at his touch. “You want me to learn to ignore this?”
    He whispered the words against her lips, backing her against the wall.
    God he was big.
    “We need to umm…ignore.”
    “Right.” He brushed his lips against hers, gripping her ass.
    “We can learn, Nick.” Draping her arms around his neck, she pulled him further into her.
    “Apparently we can’t.”
     
     
    Jess found her way up the stairs into the dressing room. She hoped Allie was there, and they were alone. 
    “Allie. I have to tell you something. You’re not going to like it.”
    “Ok, I’m already worried. What have you done, Jess?”
    “I'd rather tell anyone but you, but I have to tell someone.”
    “Jess. What did you do.”
    “Because I need help. Oh God, Allie. I’m in deep this time.”
    “Now you’re scaring me. Fucking say it.”
    “I think I’m having an affair with Nick.”
    “You think ? Or do you know?”
    “I’m fucking Nick, Allie.” Jess flopped down on the chair, putting her head in her hands.
    “I know you didn’t say what I thought you said. What the fuck did I tell you about staying away from him? You’ve known him for five minutes , Jess.”
    Jess pulled out a baggie, cutting several lines on the dressing table.
    “Your ass never listens. Give me some. I think I need it.”
    “I know. The whole thing is crazy. Please say you don’t hate me. I hate me.”
    Allie groaned. “I don’t hate you, Jess. I just think you are incredibly stupid. How long has it been going on?”
    “Since last night.”
    Allie eyed Jess questioningly as she passed her the straw.
    “Twice. A few minutes ago. He says he wants it to continue. Fuck, I want it to continue. It’s insane right?”
    “On many levels.”
    “I need you to yank me out of this, Allie. Say something to bring me back to reality.”
    “Why? Like you’ll listen. You didn’t when I told you to stay away from him. And did I say he was very dangerous? Mighta said that part once or twice.”
    “Allie…please?”
    “Fine. What about Eric? What about Nick’s wife?”
    “See. Exactly the type of shit I need to hear.”
    “How exactly do you see all this going down Jess?”
    “I don’t know. Great sex for a while. Everyone getting out without getting hurt.”
    “Oh yeah. That’s fucking realistic.”
    “Come on Allie. I’ve heard of stories where people have affairs. The relationship ends with both realizing the people they’re with are wonderful, and the other none the wiser.”
    “This is not damn Cinderella, Jess. There is no happily ever after. And the people you’re fucking with? Eric? Connie? Yeah, they don’t have the most stable of tempers. These are people who don’t take kindly to their shit being fucked with. Fucking unrealistic, Jess. You have to stop this.” She could see the panic in Allie’s eyes.
    “It’s a dangerous game. People are going to get hurt. You will get hurt. You have to stop this.”
    “Fine. I’m stopping.” Allie eyed Jess again.
    “ What ? I’m stopping. Done.” Jess looked firm. “It’s over.”
    Allie
