Corey was still hanging on to Elysa.
"Corey." Elysa said laughing a little.
"Yeah?"
"Are you planning on letting me go anytime soon?"
"Oh I'm sorry." He let her go. "I'm just excited you're here." "I love your hair."
"Thanks."
"Let introduce you to Susie." "This is Corey's wife Susie." "Susie this is Elysa."
"Hi, it's nice to meet you." Susie said. "I'm familiar with your work."
"It's nice to meet you to." Elysa said.
"Let me show you where you'll be staying." Feldman said. They all went into the living room. "Unfortunately we're out of bedrooms Corey has the spare room." "So you'll have to sleep on the couch."
"That's fine." "If I'm still asleep by the time you guys get up just wake me."
"I'll give you the grand tour Elysa." Corey said. "I just have to clean my room first."
"Oh now you want to clean?" Susie said. "I guess Elysa should be here all the time."
"I know exactly what you mean." Elysa said looking at Susie. "I lived with Corey for over a year." "I remember exactly what kind of housekeeper he is." "I used to have to bribe him to get him to clean."
"What did you do?"
"Well I don't think you can do it." "Your husband wouldn't like it to much."
"Well I always liked it, you did to if I remember." Corey said looking at Elysa and smiling.
She smiled. "Corey stop."
"I never remember you saying that." He laughed, so did Feldman.
She laughed. "Go clean Corey."
"Yes ma'am." He went upstairs.
Elysa looked at Feldman.
"Do you think he's happy to see me?" She said smiling.
"Definitely." Feldman said. "So am I."
"So how long have you guys been married?"
After Corey cleaned his room and showed Elysa the house he was going out for a cigarette.
"You still smoke huh?" Elysa said.
"Yeah."
"I tried and tried to get him to quit." She said looking at Feldman.
"I tried to it doesn't work."
A few hours later they all were eating dinner. Elysa thought the vegetarian food was gross but she was choking down what she could.
"Are you still active in the business Elysa?" Feldman asked.
"Yeah but only part-time." "I'm a real-estate agent now."
"A real-estate agent?" Corey said surprised.
"Yeah for six years now." "I got my license in 2000."
"Was it difficult to get your license?" Susie asked.
"No." "The test itself isn't that hard." "It's all the challenging courses you have to take beforehand."
"What agency to you work for?" Corey asked.
"I started my own." "Elysa Connors Realty"
"In LA?" Feldman asked.
"Yeah." "I live in Westwood."
It was about a half hour after dinner. Feldman and Susie were in the kitchen. Elysa went into the living room and up to Corey.
"Corey I'm starving." She whispered.
"What, you didn't like dinner?" He whisper smiling.
"I don't wanna be rude but I need to eat." "Wanna go with me to get some burgers or something?"
"Yeah."
"Tell them I'm taking you for cigarettes."
"Corey." Corey said in his normal voice.
"What?" Feldman said.
"Leecie's taking me for smokes."
"Ok." They left.
Elysa and Corey found a diner. They were both eating cheeseburgers.
"Yummy real food." Elysa said.
"I know." "I can't stand that vegetarian shit." "You look great."
"Thanks." "So do you." "Are you sober?"
"Yeah."
"For how long?"
"Nine months."
"Good." "I'm happy for you."
"I'm sorry Elysa." "You had every right to walk out." "I don't blame you."
"I know I hurt you to Corey but I couldn't stay."
"I know." "Are you dating anybody?"
"Not since my divorce over a year ago."
"It's been a long time for me to."
"What, the chicks don't flock to you anymore like they did when we were kids?" She said jokingly.
He laughed. "Nope no more flocking or anything else."
"No shoppers in the sex department huh?"
"Nope."
"Me either."
"I guess I've gotten ugly in my old age."
"Stop, you're still gorgeous and you know it."
"Leecie, are you flirting with me?" He said smiling.
"No." She said smiling back.
Feldman and Susie were sitting in the living room.
"I like Elysa." Susie said. "She's really nice."
"Yeah she's a sweetheart."
"Corey's been over the moon since he saw her."
"Elysa is the love of his life." "When she broke off their wedding he called me bawling." "I could barely understand him because he was crying so hard."
"I've noticed over the years that he doesn't like to talk about her."
"That's because it hurts him to think about her."
When Elysa and Corey came back they were all sitting in the living room playing truth or dare. It was Feldman's turn.
"Elysa." He said. "Truth or dare?"
She laughed. "This is silly." "Truth."
"Who did you lose your virginity to?"
She looked at Corey who was sitting beside her. "You never told him huh?"
"I promised I wouldn't." Corey said
She looked back at Feldman. "I lost my virginity to Corey."
"When you guys started dating?"
"Way before that." Corey said. "We were only seventeen."
"Wait, how is it possible I didn't know about this?" The three of us were always together when we were seventeen."
"We were in Chicago, you were in LA." "Elysa and I didn't even plan on running into each other that night but we did."
"Were you guys on stuff that night?"
"Nope both sober as judges." "I still remember like it was yesterday." "I saw her walking down the street and went over to her." "She had on a white and black tank top and jean shorts." "I invited her back to my room to hang and it just happened."
"You remember what I was wearing?" She said smiling at Corey.
"I remember everything about that night."
"I never would've guessed that." Feldman said.
Two hours later Feldman and Susie had just gone to bed. Corey was getting ready to go upstairs.
"I had fun today." Corey said.
"Me to."
"I'm glad you're here." "Hey Leecie?"
"What?"
"Am I still the best lover you've ever had?"
"Yes." "Happy?"
"Very." He said smiling. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight." He went upstairs. She laid down. Five minutes passed. "Don't even think about it Elysa." She thought. "I know it's been over a year but you can't let your attraction to Corey turn you into some horny teenager." "Even if he looks really, really good." "It would be so good though." "No." "You're going to keep your eyes and your legs closed.
