"I know her, I met her before in New York,"Nicole revealed staring blankly at the paper."Really? You guys know each other?""Not really, I saw them together in New York, she was his date to Lucas's party,""Oh, then why did he have a problem with you having Aron as a date if he also have someone with him too?

Nicole told herself not to listen to what he was saying, not to give herself false hope, he didn't really miss her, he was lying."You had too much to drink Rafael, stop talking already,""How could you just leave me like that? You don't call, you don't do anything, do you really hate me now Nicole? Is that it?"Rafael asked, Nicole knew he was drunk and talking like this due to the influence of alcohol."Just sleep it off Rafael, you will be fine in the morning, you are at home right?""Home?

"Rafael, stop,"She said when he kept advancing towards her but he didn't stop until she had her back against the wall."What should I stop Nicole? You are my wife remember?""No, not anymore,""Says who?""Says the divorce papers we both signed,"She replied trying to push him off but he didn't budge, he just stood there placed his hand under her chin, and lifted it until she was looking into his eyes."Can't you just look past all that and be with me tonight? I miss you so much Nicole, can't you just be mine for tonight?"He asked staggering, informing her that he wasn't talking in his right senses, he was drunk and if she let him have his way with her she might regret it in the morning but his eyes, they held so much loneliness and sorrow that she couldn't turn away even when her brain screamed for her to, her heart couldn't agree, she watched him lower his head, waited for his lips to meet hers and melted into his familiar touch, she thought months away would make her forget how h

She didn't know where he lived either, maybe he called her, he couldn't remember anything from last night except talking to Nicole."Josie, hi, did I call you?""Huh, no you didn't, Caleb did, he said you drank too much last night and was drunk calling him, he is out of town as you may already know and he asked me to check up on you this morning, he was the one that gave me your address, I didn't even know you can
