She looked into his eyes and her feelings came rushing back hitting her like a sledge-hammer. Her throat suddenly became very dry, she opened her mouth to speak but no words came out.

A smile played on Jeff's lips at this sight.

'How dare he?!' she thought, he was laughing at her, or so she thought when in reality it couldn't be further from the truth.

Alicia didn't invite him in, nor did he invite himself in, they just stood looking at eachother.

Jeff examined her features, she had changed a lot, but was still as gorgeous as ever. The red suited her, brought out the green of her eyes. His eyes travelled lower, down to her chest, her stomach, her waist, all the way down to her feet, he could feel himself getting hot.

'Well talk then.' Alicia said snapping him out of his trance.

He looked back up at her face, her beautiful lips downturned slightly, he noted that she had crossed her arms over her chest. This wasn't going to be easy.

'How you been?' Jeff began, he was cut short by Alicia.

'Save the politness Jeff, I'm not interested. In fact I have no interest in anything you have to say. I know you and Michelle are married and very happy, you sure moved on quick considering we were talking about marriage the week before you cheated on me.' S he paused for breath, tears forming in her eyes. 'You didn't even fight for us.' The last sentence was whispered, she lost her voice choking back the tears. With that she picked up her bag and walked past him, straight out of the door, up the hallway and outside.

Jeff watched her walk away, she didn't let him explain, not one word. He looked down at his wedding finger, there was no ring only a tightness in his chest, a pain of love lost. A tear slid down his cheek. He needed to make her listen. He needed her back.
