RPOV
I walked into the building and went to my office area. I had time over the weekend to think and realize that no matter how much time I needed, I would come face to face with Ty whether I wanted to or not. After seeing him for the first time in 5 years, I knew that day would come and I would somehow wind up in tears.
I saw more people than I saw on Friday. I caught a few of the guys winking at me, but I just ignored. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ty glace over at me. I felt my breathing speed up so I turned my head and turned my focus to something else. I got up and headed over to get some water. I was so unfocused that I bumped into someone. "I am so sorry."
I looked up to see a really cute guy staring at me. "It's okay." He held out his hand. "Names Shawn, yours?"
I returned the favor. "Raven."
"Are you new here?" I nodded my head. "Well in that case, why don't I show you to this great place for lunch, my treat?"
At first I hesitated, but then thought, hey what do I have to lose?"
"Sure, see you soon."
"See ya."
I went to get my water and Ty walked up to me. "What was that?"
I was taken aback by his tone. "What was what?"
"With Shawn?"
I looked at him confused. "What about it?"
"We have a policy where we don't date co-workers."
"But we aren't dating. All he is doing is showing me out to lunch. I am new here after all."
"Well keep it like that."
"Don't lecture me. I'm not 15 anymore. I'm not in the mood for guys and I don't think I will be again."
He sighed out in frustration. "Just stay away from male co-workers."
I rolled my eyes and walked away.

I looked at Raven as she walked away. God, she can be stubborn. But more importantly, what is wrong with me? I am going to be married in a few weeks and I'm acting jealous over the girl that is not my fiancée. Do I still want her? Does she even want me? Let's face it, even before she came back into my life, I was still falling for her. But she doesn't have time for that. She has a child of her own. Tyler. Then I had the sudden instinct to go on my e-mail account. Something about Tyler seemed very familiar. I e-mailed my mom and asked her to send some pictures of me when I was 4.
I went through my day and then came. Raven and Shawn met up and went to the elevators. I didn't like it at all.
Later…
RPOV
Shawn took me to this really nice place for lunch. He was a really nice guy. I was leaving my car at the parking garage when Ty walked up to me. "How was your date?"
I rolled my eyes. "I wouldn't really call it a date. Shawn was just showing me around."
He looked at me hesitant and looked at the ground. "What?"
He gulped. "Is Tyler mine?"
"What?"
"Is Tyler mine? I found pictures of me when I was Tyler's age and we look identical."
"Of course Tyler is yours, you were my first and only."
He took a deep breath. "How could you not tell me?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I think I would have remembered the girl of my dreams telling me I was the father of her child."
"I would never disappear without letting you know."
"Then why didn't you stay?"
"I was until you messaged me saying that you wanted nothing to do with me."
"There was no message between us. How could you be so inconsiderate on my feelings? I thought you were better than that. Maybe it is the right thing that me and Tinka are getting married. I hate you."
I looked at Ty with tears in my eyes. I clenched my fists. "Good then you never have to worry about me and Tyler ever again. Have fun being married to Stinka." I got into my car and looked at Ty. "One more thing. Sorry for being hopelessly in love with you even after all this time. It won't happen again." Then I drove off.
