making it worse. "I'm not sure whose name you screamed more, mine or God's. But maybe you were referring to me in both instances since you said, I was 'a sex god.'"
"You're going to give me that video," I told him, unable to even look at him now.
"Oh, so you do want to see it?"
"No, I want it to destroy it."
"What? Why? It's too fucking good to be destroyed."
"If you've shown it to a single person I will sue the shit out of you," I threatened him.
"Whoa! I haven't shown it to anyone and I'm not going to show it to anyone but you."
"What if someone finds it? I'm trying to start a career in television. That video could ruin me!" I felt my eyes begin to water, from anger or embarrassment, I wasn't sure which. Probably a combination of both.
"Hey, calm down. My networks are all locked down tighter than Fort Knox. I swear, no one will ever see it, Lacy."
I shook my head and covered my face as the tears started flowing down my cheeks. "Like I can believe anything you say."
"Damn it, Lacy, please don't cry," he said, spinning my chair around to face him as he bent down in front of me. "I'm not the asshole you think I am."
"Please just leave," I said, not wanting him to see me upset. I didn't open my eyes until I heard the door close again.
Chapter Four
Will
Jesus. H. Christ . What were the odds of running into Lacy again, and here of all damn places? I was stoked to see her, but could I possibly fuck up anymore with her? Nope, it was impossible. Now that she knew I'd lied to her, and that I had a video of us on the elevator, she'd never speak to me again.
I went to say goodbye to Jess, and maybe get her advice on whether or not I could fix the mess I was in with Lacy. She had experience with men who fucked up. Lord knows my good friend, her husband Tyler, did it on a regular basis.
I knocked on her open door and Jess turned around from her computer, then frowned. "No luck?" she asked.
I shook my head and then took a seat in the chair across from her.
"Why is it that when I finally meet a beautiful woman like Lacy I not only lie to her, but basically run her off the morning after we're together? Oh, and did I mention I just made her cry?" I asked, pointing my thumb over my shoulder to Lacy’s office.
"No! What the hell is wrong with you, Will?"
"Believe me, I wish I knew. I can't stop fucking up."
Jess laughed. "Sounds like Tyler when we first started dating. Do you remember how bad he kept screwing up? But I still ended up with him anyway, because no matter what he did, I couldn't help falling in love with him."
"I give up," I said, rubbing my hands over my face in defeat. "There's something I need to give Lacy though. You think you can get me her address? I won't stalk her, I promise. This's something I don't want to drop off here."
"Yeah, I can probably get it and text it to you," Jess said.
"Thanks," I told her, standing up to leave.
"Hey, Will. How's it going with Lacy?" Joe asked when he walked in and joined us.
"About as well as you and your prosecutor."
"What prosecutor?" Jess asked. Joe shook his head and gave me a pleading look.
"I don't remember her name. Gorgeous, petite redhead, sassy, and cut Joe down in about two sentences."
"Katie!" Jess exclaimed.
"Oh, is that her name?" I asked, laughing when Joe winced.
"So when do you want to head back to Sin ?" Joe asked.
"Hell, I need to get a certain woman off my mind…so whenever you want."
"Tonight's college night," he said with a big smile.
"You really want to go out on a Wednesday night?" I asked. "And aren't you too old for college girls?"
"I'm only twenty-eight, jackass, which means I'm finally about the maturity level of college girls. Sadly, you've still got a few more years to go."
