A Leap of Faith
Sydney, had told me that no less than three people and an assistant were assigned to the band’s account when the company she worked for had held the position.
    Given that there was a publicity tour planned to promote the new album and a subsequent stadium tour sometime after Hannah had her baby, there was no way I was going to be able to do it all myself.  I needed help and I hated asking for it. I mean, I really hated asking for help. Where would I even go to hire someone suitable?
    “Ok, maybe you have some validity to your argument,” I muttered under my breath, my hand still tightly grasped around his arm.
    “What was that? I didn’t hear…” His eyes softened as he moved closer to me.
    “You heard me, don’t make me repeat it!” I grinned. I may have admitted he was right but I certainly wasn’t going to admit that I was wrong.
    “I don’t know...” He paused, “It sounded a little like you were agreeing I was right.... huh... Could this be?” a grin played on his lips.
    “I didn’t say you were right I said that perhaps there was validity to your point of view. Maybe I will hire someone,” I explained, still not willing to admit defeat.
    “Does this mean we get more quality time ?” he laughed.
    “Yes, as soon as I find someone suitable, which I’m sure is going to be a pain in the ass, but yes. I want that too - more time” I smiled. Silently I was impressed at my maturity, not so long ago I would have fought this, no matter how wrong I was. I hate relinquishing control in any aspect of my life. 
    “It’s all I want Lexi, it’s all I’m asking for, more time.” His brow was no longer furrowed and his eyes were once again relaxed.
    “So… This shower you speak of?” I mused, “As long as it’s not going to be cold there is no reason we can’t share. I’m all for multi-tasking.” My eyes took in his amazing, naked body.
    “Oh, so now you want me!” he huffed, “I don’t know Lexi, I think the moment might have been lost.”
    I pulled him closer, “I can get the moment back. Want to watch?” I teased.
    He shook his head as he ruffled his hand through his hair. “I think if you keep toying with me like this, it might render me ineffective.”
    “Suit yourself then,” I smirked as I got up out of bed and sauntered passed him naked. I flicked my hair seductively over my shoulder as I got closer to the bathroom door.  I heard Alex’s light laughter and heavy footsteps behind me; neither of us was very good at saying no to each other.

    I smiled as I walked through my apartment. I was glad I had asked Alex to spend that night at my place rather than his. It meant that I could get straight to work without having to leave him in the morning. Alex had decided he was going to make breakfast while I got started on the innumerable emails I knew were waiting in my inbox. I paused as I got to the glass door that lead to my balcony. The darkness of the early morning was disrupted by the myriad of lights that was Manhattan. I had fallen in love with the city. No matter what time of day or night, the craziness below me never stopped. It was reassuring - a constant reminder that life and time continues to move forward, with or without you.
    I peeled myself from my view and moved to where my home office was located. I sat myself down in my huge leather desk chair at my beautiful oak desk, the light wood lent warmth to the space while the crispness of the large white monitor loomed above it.
    A low hum emanated from the chrome tower that sprung to life. The familiar Apple logo appeared on the now illuminated screen. I could hear Alex singing in the kitchen, he was pitch perfect even at six thirty in the morning. I couldn’t help but laugh to myself, all those concerts Emma and I had been too and here was Alex Stone, singing half naked in my kitchen. If you had told me that this is what would have happened twelve months ago, I would have told you to lay off the crack. Even
