As she heads for the door at the end of the day searching through her bag she doesn't notice the man standing in her path "Oh I'm sorry I didn't see you there." He turns and smiles at her, looking at him their eyes lock. Extending her hand she smiles "Hello, Monica nice to meet you." shaking hands briefly she doesn't really hear his response. The elevator doors open, they both step in as she continues to search for something. Distracted she feels a tap on her arm "What floor do you need?" smiling weakly
"Basement, parking please." They ride in silence, turning towards him "What did you say your name was again? I am sorry it is just one of those days." Smiling at her "Alex. It's ok we all have them." Looking him over she is drawn to his eyes, she has always been a sucker for a man with green eyes. Sighing to herself as the doors open "Well it was nice to meet you Alex. I do hope I will see you again." As he watches her
walk to her car "Oh I am sure you will, I am so sure you will." Opening the door she curses herself for not being as aggressive as she usually is about men. "Damn I should of got his number." she growls at herself as she starts her car. Driving home her mind keeps traveling back to him and the look in his eyes, something dark yet exciting. Trying to get the image out of her head she turns on the radio, the music falls on deaf ears as his voice plays in her mind. Brought back to reality before she misses her exit
she starts the end of her ride. Pulling into the driveway she shuts off the car and takes her shoes off. Walking to the door and once inside she sheds the rest of her work clothes. Walking through the house half naked she turns on the
lights and the stereo, getting herself a glass of wine she sits and thinks about the days events. "Damn ok if you see him again do what you do best" she says to herself "Flash that smile and work that magic." Giggling she sips her wine and feels herself start to doze off.
Monica is suddenly awakened by the doorbell. Wiping the sleep from her eyes she looks at the clock wondering who it could be, not believing she had slept so late. It was 9pm and she was not expecting anyone. Grabbing her robe that she
had tossed on the couch from this morning, she walks to the door and opens it to find no one there. Thinking she must have been dreaming to have heard the doorbell she takes one last look around outside and notices the bouquet of roses
on the landing in front of her door. Picking them up, she wonders who they could be from. Reaching for the card inside the bouquet she pricks her finger on the thorns and blood trickles on the white envelope that she is about to open. 2312
Celtic Dr. midnight my love. "Ok, Now who is playing games?, it has to be James, I don't understand why he does not take no for an answer. I will meet him at midnight and it will be the last time he will bother me." Dressing in her sexiest low-cut dress, just so she can tease him, and watch and listen to him beg her to come back she slips on her shoes and heads for the car. "He always was a sucker for this dress, and I can not wait to watch him grovel for me as I strut around knowing I will never let him use me again" Monica pulls into the driveway of the address she has been given, as she gets out of the car she
looks around noticing how dark the house looks she wonders what James is up to. "He probably has a nice dinner ready for me with candles lit and soft music playing, pathetic he is" As she approached the door, before she could even
ring the bell the door had opened. In she had stepped into a big room with candles lit and soft music playing in the distance and the fragrance of fresh cut flowers had filled the room. She was so entranced by the painting on the wall she did not realize that she did not even hear the door shut behind her. The painting, "it looks just like me" she thought. Darkness had followed
