'You were poison.' The vein in his neck stood out, throbbing in rhythm to his heart beat. It's all she could focus on, the beat beat beat of his heart. The tears threatening to spill forth from her eyes. She hates to admit it, never liked the feeling but she was well and truly confused. And embarrassed, never before had she been so embarrassed until she remembered that she had been, that somehow this was even worse.

When she was a child she used to ask questions left, right and centre.'Daddy, whys the sky blue?'. 'Because of the reflection from the sea, sweetheart.'. Her father always had the answers, she misses him more now than when he first past. Now with her life a shambles, work life a mess and the state of her love life. Her father would know, he would wrap her in his arms and tell her all the answers she wanted to know. Of course that couldn't happen, doubt it would even if he was here. There are no answers for this, none. She racks her brain, is it because they haven't had their talk yet, she's been putting it off, not sure what to say, not sure if she can trust herself to just talk. Not with the way his lips move, enticing, the images of them pressed hard against her own always vivid in her mind. She knows she should listen to what he's saying, should pay attention and find out why he just destroyed everything on her desk but as soon as he walked into her office she faded out, trying hard not to remember the feel of his hands on her thighs as he pulls her legs apart. The grip on her hips as he nears his own orgasm, the sound he makes, always makes and the four crescent moons she would find on her either side of her hips afterwards.

It has been getting harder now, to work with him and go home to Peter. To look Peter in the eye and tell him she loved him, she had resorted to a simple, me too, whenever he said it and the guilt she felt when she did always laid heavy on her heart. Especially when her children seemed so happy, finally, they deserved all the happiness they could have in their life. They had been through so much and it made her beam with pride at how well they had grown up. Young adults now her children and she couldn't believe how time flies, she wanted her babies back. Having them dependant on her for every little thing meant she could save them from all kinds of hurt. Not now though, now they had to make their own mistakes, heal their own hearts and Alicia wasn't ready to let them go.

She's being lead from her office now, security on each side of her, she turns to Will and comes back to the present, looks around and sees that everyone is staring, some with shocked expressions and some smug, like David Lee, bowl of M and Ms in his hand, smirking like this was the movies. Like her life was simply for his entertainment. Thats when she lost it and turned to him, thunder in her eyes and he startles back just slightly, just enough that she notices.

Alicia steps towards him, 'What is happening here, Will. Why are you doing this?' Her face softens as she says it, her doe eyes round with unshed tears. And he laughs in her face hollow and cold and it frightens her. Never did she think he could be like that with her, not her Will, not her Mr. Georgetown. Not the man who placed candles and heaters and copious blankets and pillows on the roof of his apartment so they could make love under the stars without her ever getting cold. That man couldn't have looked at her with such hate that it froze her to the core. Will sneers at her, 'You were poison. You were going to take everything from this firm…'

'What Will I don't understand…' a small drop of sweat is forming on her brow now, from the strain of keeping her tears unchecked and the embarrassment she's trying so hard not to show. She remembers all the times Will made her sweat, beads dripping on the curve of her back, down her throat.

Will's face contours into a snarl, 'After everything I've done for you and your still lying to my face. Get out!'

'No. Will I'm …' Will snaps then and she honestly for a second thinks he will hit her, slap her right across the face for all the pain she has trodden his heart through. But no he grips her forearm gently, given his rage and pushes her towards to elevator. 'GET OUT!' he barks at her. And looking at his eyes, she can see nothing but pain and unshed tears of his own. Too shocked to even think, she backs slowly, her whole body shaking into the elevator as she watches him disappear and the doors close in front of her.

Alicia struggles to get the keys out her bag, she couldn't even seem to get them into the car door before she remembered she just had to press a button and the lock would open. Her whole body shook and as she slides into the drivers seat she slumps over and exhales, giant sobs rack her body. It seems like hours, days she sits there, confused and hurt and overall pissed off. Wiping her eyes she fixes herself and drives away out of the parking lot. The thunder still in her eyes.

Will turns round to face the crowd of spectators that have gathered to watch him chew out Alicia and spit her back out again. Good. He hopes she was ashamed and embarrassed, he glares at the crowd then booms, 'Work! Now!'.

He smirks as his employers all jump right back to work, picking up unanswered phones, looking over files as if nothing had just happened. He notices David Lee picking up M and Ms from the floor he laughs to himself. It'll teach him right, and what was with him and M and Ms anyway. Walking back past Alicia's office, now old office he barks at a passing receptionist to clear the mess and send Alicia her stuff. He continues to his office where Diane is waiting for him. Of course she is, there's not like there's a hundred different things needed done to run a successful law firm, she has plenty of time to stand in his office and glare at him.

'Don't Diane, it had to be done. She was leaving, you said so yourself, we have to find out what clients they stole, try and convince them it'll be better off to stay. Not at some newbie firm without a home.'

'I wasn't going to say anything. Definitely nothing about how you just fired Alicia escorted her out the building and theres still at least 12 other associates that were jumping ship still in our offices including Cary.' Diane shakes her head as she says this, she looks at Will pity evident in her eyes. Squeezing his shoulder, exasperation clouding her face she ask him, 'You want me to handle the rest, you can head home take a break…'

Will interrupts before she can even finish, 'And let you and David have all the fun. I don't think so.' He smirks as he says this and holds the door to his office open for Diane, 'Ladies first.'

Diane half heartedly laughs as she follows Will through their offices to fire at least 12 of their own associates.

He would remember this day, always, when Cary uttered those words as a final parting shot. They had been expecting it, the associates, as soon as they saw Will roaring at Alicia they new they had been caught. With what they only assumed was minutes until they were kicked out right along with her, they gathered as many of their files as they could and clearing everything important from their desks.

As soon as they saw Diane and Will heading their way they were ready to leave. Each one was escorted out in a much less brutal manner than Alicia, some even apologising, whether it was sincere or not was left to be wondered. Cary was the last to leave and just before the doors closed he pushes them open. He can see Will has already started to walk away, and he raises his voice, shouts even, 'Will…Will…look just so you know. Alicia…' Will turns and glares at him grunts, 'Alicia what!'.

Cary looks around and sees that again everyone has stopped to listen, they always do, when its about Alicia. He sighs then lifts his head only slightly, 'Will, I don't know what you heard or who told you but Alicia was never coming with us. I did even ask her. Always new she'd say no.' He steps back into the elevator and the doors shut leaving Will standing there everyone turns to look at him. Pure rage contorts his face, his fist connects with the wall before anyone can utter a single word. 'FUCK!'
