"How much were you craving for me?", asked Jacob as he cupped her face with his palms.
Melissa replied seductively, "A lot" and pushed him on the bed.
After the passionate moment, Jacob got up to smoke in the balcony. It was almost evening. Melissa gently hugged him from covering each other with a white blanket.
Jacob: You look down today, everything alright?
Melissa: Matthew saw us.
Jacob: Where? Don't tell me he saw me while I was leaving your place!?
Melissa: No... he saw us when we went to grab a bite that day.
Jacob: What did you tell him?
Melissa: I said we were just hanging out.
Jacob: That's good, no one should know that we are hooking up ok?
Melissa: I'll never do that.
Jacob slightly loosened her hand indicating her to let go which Melissa understood quickly.
Jacob: I'm gonna leave now, don't think too much ok?
He softly kissed her one last time and wore his clothes.
Melissa: When can I see you again?
Jacob: Well, I need to go to New York tomorrow for some work, maybe after I get back?
Melissa: Sounds great.
After closing the door behind her, a tear rolled down from Melissa's cheek, "Wish I could have you like this forever..."
She rubbed the tears from her face and played the vinyl. She went to the balcony and lit up a cigarette. The room was filled with Lana's heartbroken melodious voice as Melissa lipsynced the line, "I will love you till the end of time, I would wait a million years".

Matthew sat down in front of Alex, "Mr. Robinson must be having a hard day to be drinking on weekdays".
Alex drank his 3rd bottle and replied, "Seems like you're in the same situation".
Matthew: Well, I'm the Employer so doesn't really matter if I drink on weekdays.
Alex: You sure like to brag about your position.
Matthew replied coldly, "Just like you brag about having Cindy as your Ex-wife".
Alex drank another bottle of beer and grinned like a devil, "You might wanna remove the word 'Ex' from there".
Matthew looked at him doubtfully, "What do you mean?"
Alex opened is 5th bottle and replied with a dead stare, "We are married", and chugged in the beer.
Matthew: What?
Alex: We. Are. Married.
Alex enunciated every word to make it clear to Matthew and opened his 6th bottle.
Matthew got agitated, "What do you mean!?", he thought Alex is just spitting bulls*it because he is inebriated.
He chugged in the beer and replied, "Cindy is still my wife."
He took the 7th bottle, "And I would love it if you keep your distance from MY wife", popped open it and drank it in one go again.
Matthew grind his teeth in anger, he was losing his patience.
Alex: She can never ever be yours.
Matthew already drank quite a lot before seeing Alex here, he couldn't hold his anger anymore and threw a punch at his face.
