At first it was just sex. At least that's what she thought.
She could feel her body set alight as soon as he was walking into the same room she was. The downside of their affair was to constantly be cautious about them being caught. At first it was an exciting game but after a while, it became more and more difficult as they raised suspicion from Diane. And they were getting fearless, having sex in Will's office's bathroom while all their colleagues were working as usual. But the truth was simple: she was enjoying it and was clearly mad about her lover.
She was ready to do everything to keep this going on, even dress up for a fantasy role of Will's. She wanted him so bad it was making her feel strong and weak at the same time. Strong for at last she had the time of her life sexually speaking and weak for her addiction to him made her feel guilty not to spend more time with her children.
Will had never felt so confident in his entire life. Alicia was his. Finally. He could feel her desire every time they were to be in the same room and thinking of that was making him smile when she was to come back to her kids after passionate sex up against the wall of his apartment or in any other places…
But there was something else. Fear. To lose her. She only wants sex, not a loving relationship, she's too damaged to ship for this right now. That's what he was thinking. Was this true? He had no idea and it was frightening him. Yes he wanted to have sex with her, he had wanted this for so long, but he wanted more than this. He was longing for her to sleep in his arms, to surprise him with a butterfly kiss, to hold his hands whenever they could do it without being caught… he wanted her to trust him completely and to talk to him about anything. About everything.
'Stay.'
'I can't, you know this.'
Will was having his sad look and Alicia softened a bit, caressed his hair and kissed him.
'Have dinner with me tomorrow.'
'What do you mean? In a restaurant? '
'Yes, let's have dinner together.'
'You know we can't be seen together in public…'
'Let's have dinner at my place then.'
'Are you getting bored with this…?'
'God no! I want to take you all the time…'
Alicia smiled.
'… I want us to sit down and enjoy a meal together, like normal people.'
'We are not normal people.'
'I know but I want to do this right.'
'Us?'
'Yes, us.'
There was an awkward silence when both of them froze. Will was getting anxious. Had he said too much? Did he frighten Alicia with his 'normal people' thing?
Alicia cracked a smile.
'Dinner tomorrow at your place then.'
Will was in heaven. She had said yes to their first proper date.
