of hours even. You could just wait for me here or maybe…I could pick you up at your place when I’m done,” he said. Desiree looked at him and frowned.
    “ Don’t you want me to come with you Mason?” she asked in a child-like voice.
    “ Don’t call me that,” he said looking at her with mock severity. “But seriously though, you will be bored out of your mind. I am doing you a favor,” he said before he took a bit bite of his crispy bacon.
    “ Fine. I’ll go back to the apartment and get a few things,” she said, sipping at the lukewarm coffee. “Do you know when you’ll be back?” she asked.
    “ I will be done by nine latest. I’ll let you know if anything changes,” he said.
    After eating, they both got dressed and got in the truck. After Taylor dropped her off he kissed her goodbye before he drove off. She was still thinking of Taylor’s bruise when she got to the apartment. Rochelle was still there, as promised, bumming out watching TV. She looked at Desiree when she walked in and smiled.
    “You certainly took your time at the Royale,” Rochelle said as her sister walked towards her.
    “ I took a detour after seeing Leon. I went to Taylor’s,” she said.
    “ I thought you said he was working,” Rochelle said. Desiree took a long deep breath and sat down.
    “ I thought so too, but he had cancellations,” she said as she caught a glimpse of the flowers she had asked Rochelle to dispose of earlier. “What the hell, Roch? I thought I told you to get rid of those damn flowers,” she said as she got up from the couch and walked to the kitchen table where Rochelle had put the flowers. She took the flowers, crushed them, and tossed them in the bin with a flourish.
    “ Wow, someone is in no mood for flowers today, huh,” Rochelle said awkwardly as she looked at Desiree who was walking towards her. “What exactly happened with Leon? Because I could have sworn that you were in a more positive mood when you left,” she said. Desiree took a deep breath and looked at her.
    “ Trust me, my mood is awesome. But it has nothing to do with Leon I think my warning has finally begun to sink into his tiny brain” she said.
    “ What warning? Start from the beginning,” Rochelle said confusedly.
    “ I went to the Royale. I saw him, and he…” Desiree’s words trailed off as she took another deep breath.
    “ What? What did he do?” Rochelle asked, her voice a little too eager.
    “ He kissed me,” she finally said. Rochelle’s eyes grew wide.
    “ He what?” she asked surprised.
    “ You heard me. He slipped his arm around me and pulled me to him and planted a great big smacker full on my lips on me,” Desiree said.
    “ Holy shizzle!,” Rochelle said as she looked at her sister. “That guy is one daring playa. I can tell you that,” she said, grinning.
    “ Stop speaking like that. I cannot tell you how pissed I am,” Desiree said. “I don’t know what the Hell is wrong with him, Roch. It’s like in his own twisted mind he actually believes that there is a future for us. Apparently that is why he is in the ‘penthouse’,” she added.
    “ So, what? Is he getting a divorce or something?” Rochelle asked.
    “ That’s what he said. And, as much as he hurt me when he lied to me, a part of me still feels really bad or the pain he’s in,” Desiree said as she looked at Rochelle.
    “ So, what are you going to do?” Rochelle asked.
    “ I told the delusional wacko I would get a restraining order if he didn’t back off,” Desiree said.
    “ And will you? Or were you just telling him that to freak him out?” Rochelle asked. Desiree shook her head and shrugged.
    “ I really wish it was just a threat but it’s not. I have to. It’s the only way to ensure that my relationship with Ericson is secure,” she said. Rochelle smiled at her.
    “ You know I have not seen you like this since…Leon, and particularly not over a man who sounds like a brand of headphones” she added with a
