Lara unbuttoned the last few buttons of Alex's shirt she had been wearing and tossed it on the bed before grabbing one of her own turtlenecks and pulling it over her head. Alex walked over to her.
"Hmm...Hey." He moved to kiss her and was surprised when she turned away slightly. "What's wrong babe?"
"I cant do this again Alex..." She shook her head. "No more."
Alex looked confused and put his hands on her hips. "No more what?"
"No more flings.... No more goodbyes." She wouldn't look into his eyes...couldn't. "You may be able to deal with it every time but I cant."
"I thought that you liked it that way..."
"Sure Alex... You haven't been here for 4 months.... Yesterday you call me... 'Hey babe, Im back in town...' four months Alex...The first few times I didn't think anything about it, but when it gets to become a routine so simple as brushing your teeth... I began to think that there might not be more to it then meets the eye."
Alex shook his head.. "Wha-"
"That's all it is to you."She shook her head and turned away from his gaze and towards the door.
"Lara you know that that's not true."
She turned back slowly. "Do I?"
"I know that things have been hard. I know that work only allows me to come for a couple of days at a time. I wish that there was a way to change that but there's not....Not yet." He moved closer to her and pulled her to himself a bit. "Lara..." She yanked from his grasp and looked up at him finally.
"Goodbye Alex." She grabbed her keys from where they had landed on the floor the night before and headed for the door not looking back.
"Lara wait!" He pleaded and she paused for a moment before opening his apartment door and walking out.
