"Married?" Michael repeated. He didn't seem shocked; he seemed amused yet so angry. Angry at the thought that another man got to the love of his life; angry because he wasn't her first proposal!
Nikita nodded, "Almost two years now, Michael." She told him.
Michael gave her an amusing smirk and laughed.
"What's so funny?" Nikita asked.
Michael swiftly ran his hand in his hair, "You don't love him as much as you love me." He said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Nikita asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Exactly what it means," Michael replied cockily as he looked into her eyes as if he was reading her like an open book, "You don't love him because at night I'm the only thing in your mind, when he makes love to you, you wish it was me, and if you did love him you wouldn't be standing here kissing me like you just did a couple minutes ago. You never stopped loving me just like I've never stopped loving you either." He added and smashed his lips back on hers hard and rough.
"Tell me it isn't true?" He said when they pulled away breathing heavily.
Nikita shook her head unbelievably, "I gotta go, Michael." She simply replied.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Michael asked, still not letting go of her waist.
Nikita rolled her eyes and sighed, "Fine, give me your phone!" She groaned.
She quickly dialed a few numbers in his phone and called her phone so she could have his number saved then handed his phone back, "I'll see you when I see you, Michael." She said.
"… and that'll be soon, baby." He whispered then lightly pecked her lips.

The next day,
Nikita was in a hurry; she was running late for work this morning and considering she got home pretty late last night that was understandable.
As she was adjusting a pair of earrings on, she felt big hands wrap around her stomach and lips pressing wet kisses on her neck.
"Good morning," She greeted her husband.
"What time did you get home last night?" Owen asked.
"Late and I'm also running late for work right now." Nikita replied.
Owen rolled his eyes as she quickly spun around and kissed his cheek before grabbing her bag from the closet and making her way out of the bedroom.
Owen followed her to the kitchen, "Are you going to make it for dinner tonight?" He asked hopefully.
Nikita poured herself a cup of fresh coffee and grabbed a granola bar in the cabinet then opened the fridge to grab an apple.
"I'll call you at lunch time and let you know, but probably not." She finally answered.
Owen sighed, "Honey, you have a husband that hasn't seen that sexy ass of yours in like almost a month and I'd really appreciate it if you could at least make dinner tonight." He said.
"I know that, I wanna be able to have a normal dinner with you at night, but I also have to work to pay the bills. It's all about compromising honey." Nikita smirked and grabbed her keys on her way out the door.
"Have a good day!" Owen sarcastically shouted.

At work,
"Good morning!" Nikita said as she walked the hallway of her office.
"Good morning!" Her assistant, Sarah, greeted back.
Nikita opened her office door and pulled her chair out, "Whatchu got for me, Sarah?" she asked as she removed her jacket and hung it behind her chair.
"You got a new case that came in yesterday for one client you had about six months ago." Sarah filled her in.
Nikita groaned and pushed back from her desk a little, "You got a file for me?" she asked.
"Um," Sarah begin, "They're filed, I'll get them." she stepped to the corner of Nikita's office where her master files were kept, quickly rifling through a couple of drawers until she found the folder. Nikita was a very good lawyer, but she preferred to do everything electronically. She just had no patience for papers so she kept files saved in a USB or in her laptop so she didn't have to worry about keeping track of documents she hated dealing with anyway.
Sarah pulled the file she was looking for, slipping it onto the desk, "There it is."
Nikita did a quick scan of the file with her eyes and sighed, "Darryl Curtis," She whispered under her breath and sighed again, "How hard can it fucking be to just follow rules? All the idiot had to do was check with his parole officer once a month for a drug test and now I have to deal with his ass for not doing that." She said frustratedly and threw the file back on the desk.
Sarah chuckled, "How about a cup of coffee just how you like it?" She asked.
Nikita nodded as she logged onto her computer, "That would help." She replied.
A few minutes later, Sarah came back in with a fresh cup of coffee for Nikita and settled it next to her.
"Anything else for today that I have to worry about?" Nikita asked without taking her eyes off the computer screen.
Sarah did a quick check in the calendar attached to the clipboard in her hand and answered, "Yes, you've got a meeting at 10:30 AM."
Nikita looked at the large crystal clock on the wall and cursed, "Oh come on!" She exclaimed.
"Do you want me to cancel?" Sarah asked with a raised eyebrow.
Nikita shook her head, "No," She murmured, "Just make sure I'm not disturbed, okay? This one's really important."
Sarah nodded, "No problem." She assured her before making her way back to the reception room.

It was already lunch time and Nikita had sent her assistant, Sarah out for her lunch break. She was feeling a little bit generous today; she even wrote the girl a bonus check.
As she was sitting in her office multi-tasking, her cell phone rang and she lost focus on what she was doing, in the process knocking down the picture frame of her and Owen that was on the desk.
"This better be someone important!" She cursed.
She picked up the phone and put it on speaker phone.
"Hey baby!" The husky voice came on the other line.
Nikita frowned, "Who's this?"
She could hear the person laugh on the other line and it sounded familiar as she same to the conclusion of who it was. She had not actually been thinking about Michael all morning and now suddenly her heart was beating fast again just like it had last night.
"Who else? The one guy you cannot live without!" He cockily replied.
Nikita rolled her eyes, "Oh hi, Michael!" She said.
"Whatchu doing today, baby girl?" Michael asked.
"Working as always, what about you?"
"Hmm," Michael hummed, "I'm actually at the beach, drinking a cocktail that has a small umbrella in it, don't ask me why, but how about you ditch work and go buy a bikini to come join me?"
Nikita rolled her eyes again, "That sounds nice and fun, but no thanks!" She replied.
"Why not love? It's summer time, baby girl!" Michael tried to convince her.
"Because I'm working…"
"Well, when are you not working?" Michael asked.
Nikita looked at her calendar and giggled, "Probably not until the next… next… next century." She replied.
Michael laughed, "Alright busy girl. Clear off your calendar for Friday, we're going out. After all you do owe me a few drinks and dinner, remember?"
"I guess I'll see you Friday, then." Nikita replied.
"Wear something sexy!" Michael said just to annoy her.
Nikita groaned, "I'm married!" She told him again.
"… and you're still in love with me. I can live with that!" Michael replied.
They talked for a few more minutes and Michael never brought up the kiss or anything that happened last night and so she didn't bring it up either. Why would she even bother after all? Michael was just a friend now and she was married to her husband. She tried to convince herself of that, but she was also in denial. The fact that he said nothing about the kiss rather infuriated her!
After they hung up, Nikita was now blankly starring at the computer in front of her. She just completely cleared her calendar off for Friday just so she could go out with her ex-boyfriend and she won't even take a few hours off to have dinner with her husband.
'What the hell is wrong with me?' she asked herself.
But then again, nothing was wrong with her, Michael said it, she's still in love with him!
