It read :I didn't know you were moving back. That's good news... I guess. Anyways, we could meet in my office on Monday. One pm..I guess you already know where my office is. If you don't, get Jonathan to tell you.Katherine stared at her phone for a while. The man hadn't changed. He was still as arrogant and annoying as before, maybe even more annoying.She realized a part of her was hoping he would refuse to meet her. Now that he had agreed to meet her she was nervous. How the hell was she going to handle seeing Jensen Packard after all these years.——————————————Katherine sighed as she got closer to her parents house. It had been a long journey. And definitely not easier when Tim had asked "Are we there yet?" like every fifteen minutes.Their stuff had arrived two days ago, thanks to Jonathan. He took care of that too, and Katherine was so thankful. What could she have do

Chapter Twelve
Maybe agreeing to meet her wasn't such a good idea. Jensen thought.It was Monday. And he was in office. He couldn't get anything done. He realized he had been having difficulty getting anything done since she had sent him that bloody text. She was constantly on his mind and he found himself always losing focus.His secretary knocked and entered his office"Sir" she said."Yes, Mrs Geller" he answered, her presence making him snap out of his thoughts."There is a Miss Kavell here to see you, she says you are expecting her, but I checked and she doesn't have an appointment.""Yeah... Let her in"It wasn't going to take long. He just had to hear what she had to say. Straight. Sharp. To the point. Sayo nara. Goodbye. Maybe seeing her once again was just what he needed to get over her —to get her out of his mind once and for all.Jensen grimaced as he a

"Come in" he said and his secretary walked in."These are the files you requested sir" she said, dropping some files on his table."Thanks" he said. "I will let you know when I'm done with them".She walked out and he bent his head, focusing on the files his secretary brought as he went through them.Katherine took the opportunity to study him as he worked. He was dressed in a light blue shirt, his suit hung on his chair headrest. A first two buttons of his shirt opened, his exposed chest revealing some of his chest hair, the sleeves of his shirt rolled up to his elbows. His hair looked amazing, dark and wavy. She had this annoying impulse to run her hands through it. His arms impressed her, they looked so damn strong. He looked so big. Being alone in his office made her feel so small. He still looked so damn good. His lips still sexy as hell.She shouldn't be thinking this. She told herself. His ph

Chapter Fourteen
"Yeah that's right" he replied carelessly. "And because of what you felt for me — what we felt for each other. When I came near you, you felt an excitement so intense that you ceased to breathe —like you are feeling right now. You wanted me just as much as I wanted you. And that should have been enough to make you stay"He looked so angry. Katherine thought. The look wasn't just in his eyes. It seeped through every shrug, every curl of lips she thought were the most perfectly created set of lips on earth.She looked deeper, pathetically desperate to find something else. Something more. A reminder of those semi carefree years when they would walk together, talk about anything for hours, and resume conversations the moment they saw one another again.But the man she knew had been replaced by a harder, edgier version of a Jensen Packard. Maybe it really was bad idea coming to see him.He grimaced and for some reason st

Chapter Fifteen
"You left with Mitch because you wanted to get back at me?" Jensen asked."No... Why the hell would you even think that. I'm not you. You are the one who has been holding a stupid grudge. I left with Mitch because I thought he cared about me and I wanted to try to make things work between us. Just like I told you that night. I wanted something meaningful with someone and he was there... And you weren't""You should have stayed when I asked you to" Jensen said. "You knew you wanted to be with me. You went against your every instinct and left with that bastard."Hurt lanced deeper through Katherine."How dare you?" she said."Oh, come off it. I know you. Sometimes maybe even more than you know yourself. You think I didn't see the doubt on your face when we talked that night? You knew he was wrong for you, that you were making a mistake. And you left with him anyways""Oh really?" Kath

They entered the lobby and Jensen waved the senior guard away when he offered to escort them."This way." he said.He strode across the atrium to the bank of lifts set against the east wall. She kept up, her heels clicking in tandem with his."When is the opening of the building?" she asked."Unofficially, it's open." he replied. "Businesses are moving in but the official ceremony is two weeks after your opening."He stabbed the button for the lift, and waited for her to precede him when the doors slid open. She strolled to the back of the carriage, turned and rested her shoul-ders against the polished mirrored wall. She angled her body in a way that subtly thrust her chest and hips forward and it was all he could do not to drool at the lush display of her figure.Damn, everything about her turned him on. It was going to be a huge fucking problem.The doors opened d

"Are you still here". He asked angrily. "Can't you take a hint?"With the toe of his shoe, he nudged the stray dog aside as he unlocked the door."Beat it" he said.But the dog looked at him with sad eyes and lay back down on the step, and rested his head on his forepaws."Suit yourself" Jensen grumbled. "But don't expect me to feed you"He slammed the door so hard when he got in. He moved to the kitchen. Taking a soda from the refrigerator, he stood and drank half the soda in one swallow. He rolled the cold can against his forehead.He didn't want or welcome anything on his life that made him feel or think. He was so pissed. He felt hollow and empty, and he liked it that way. He planned to keep out that way. Did that stupid dog think he was running some kind of shelter or something."Damm it" he muttered.Minutes later, he brought some food to the

Jensen smiled, it was cute. How she worried about him.He got up and went to sit on her couch with her. He gave her a hug and peck on her cheek."I understand, Elaine". He said. "And I appreciate you worrying about me and looking out for me. But you don't have to. Believe me I'm fine. I promise... Okay?".Elaine gave him a look. "That's what you used to say after she left. You said you were fine when you clearly weren't. You were clearly hurting and you shut everyone out""Well I am fine now.. And that's not going to happen this time. I've got this""Are you happy that she is back?" Elaine asked."I honestly don't know, Elaine" Jensen replied. "Why do you ask? It doesn't matter""You still love her, don't you, Jensen?" Elaine asked."No... I mean. It doesn't matter. All I'm doing is letting her get a store in my building, Elaine. Chill okay, It's no

Jensen laughed again."So do you like it here, Tim? How has it been since you moved?" Jensen asked.Yeah I guess I like it. I have always wanted to come here. So I can be with my grandma and grandpa, and my Uncle Jon. But mom didn't want to at first. I was so happy when she finally changed her mind... I kinda miss my friends though but my mom said I can make new ones" Tim said."And how's that going?""Pretty good I guess""That's good. And now you can count me as one of your friends""Really?" Tim asked."Yeah. Sure. Your mom and I used to be really close when we were little""Well, she never told me that. And you never visited us.. Why didn't you?" Tim asked."Well. Sometimes life just separates people. People just you know... Loose touch. You understand?""I'm not sure I do, but I guess it's the same with my frie

Chapter Twenty
"I'm not fighting you, Jensen" her voice was hoarse, almost in a whisper. "I'm just trying to be considerate. I know you probably have a lot to do and I don't want to waste your time". Katherine said.He raised one of his hands and a finger brushed her chin. "Being considerate would be to let me do whatever the fuck I want. I want to do this. And it's my time, Kat. I will waste it how I like... So you will let me help you, Kat... Deal?".He extended his hand. She took it."Deal" she repeated.Her hand was small. Jensen thought. It was cool, and dry and soft. The feel of it left an impression after he released it.His eyes seemed to see right through her. Katherine swallowed. He did everything with the same intensity — Talk, stare, kiss, touch....maybe make love.She tried not to think about it. It was the one thing they never got to."I'm glad Tim isn't Mitch's kid,
