day.
“Hello, Ken,” said Susan.
When he looked up she was standing in his doorway. He didn’t know what to expect.
“Susan! What are you doing here?” he asked with a surprised expression.
“Relax, sweetheart, I had a meeting with Jake to review my portfolio and thought I would see you before I left. So how have you been, Ken?” she asked with a smirk on her face.
“I’ve been good. Things here have been very busy,” said Ken.
Although she was looking nice, Ken could tell that something about her was different.
“You look good,” said Susan as she walked in and sat in the chair where they had once had sex. She stroked the arm of it as she gazed at him.
“Thanks. So do you,” replied Ken, being careful with what he said.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been in your office. Of course I remember this chair and what took place in it. Do you remember? Or is that something you’re trying to forget?” asked Susan sarcastically.
“What do you want, Susan? I really have a lot of work to do.” Ken wished she would leave his office.
“Okay Ken. I want to know why I haven’t heard from you. You have had more than enough time to tell Monica about our relationship and that you’re leaving.
“I must admit that I thought you were serious about ending our relationship when we argued, but when we made love afterwards, I knew we were still a couple and that you love me,” she said.
Ken was speechless. He couldn’t discuss it because he was still at work and surrounded by his coworkers. He was afraid if he said the wrong thing that she would cause a scene.
“This is hardly the time or place to have this conversation. We’ll have to do lunch soon. How does that sound?” said Ken, hoping she would agree.
“That sounds fine. When can I expect to hear from you?” she asked.
“Soon—I promise,” said Ken, opening the door to urge her to leave.
“Okay, Ken. I’m expecting you to keep your word. I also expect to see you at my place before the week’s over,” she said.
As soon as she left, he called Jake to see why he didn’t warn him that Susan would be in the building.
“Hey Jake, do you have a minute?” asked Ken.
“Sure man—what’s going on?”
“Susan stopped by my office a few minutes ago after meeting with you. She was acting as though we are still together. She wanted to know when I was telling Monica I was leaving,” said Ken.
“What are you talking about? I didn’t meet with Susan today,” said Jake.
“She told me that she was at the office because she met with you to review her portfolio. You mean she made the entire story up, knowing I would talk to you about it?” said Ken.
“I thought you said she understood that things were over between the two of you? Was this the first time she made contact with you since you broke up with her?” questioned Jake.
“She left me one voice message while I was on vacation and since I’ve been home she hasn’t contacted me other than today,” explained Ken, bewildered.
“You need to get a handle on the situation and make her understand that it’s over. If you don’t take control now she’ll try anything, including threatening to tell Monica, to get you to stay,” explained Jake knowingly.
“You’re right,” Ken agreed, “I think I’ll call her to meet on Friday. I’ll talk to you later.”
He called Susan and explained that he wanted to meet at her apartment on Friday. He knew he had to convince her that it was over but he was afraid of setting her off. He didn’t want her to do anything foolish like call Monica or come by his house.
It was nearly 12:30 in the afternoon when Ken left his office and drove to Susan’s apartment. She was so happy that he kept his word and wanted to come over.
As soon as he walked in she began kissing and undressing him. She didn’t notice that he was acting a little differently.
“Hey baby! I was so glad you called. I guess you’re finally realizing that we belong
