didn’t look like she’d been dating anyone. What changed?
    Christina gave a relieved sigh as Josh
finally exited the class room.
    “Look Matt I have to go.”
    “Is he gone?”
    “Yes.”
    “Okay, call me if you have any more trouble.
I’ll see you Friday, nine am sharp.”
    “Bye.”

    Matt Dallas sat in his office gazing at the
New York City skyline. Christina had been on his mind since their
last encounter. He’d been disappointed when she hadn’t called him.
Looking at the reply to the text she sent him, gave him hope.
Wrapping up all his tasks, he decided to give her a call. Her
breathy voice answered him. He wondered whether or not she always
sounded like a siren on phone. His blood immediately rushed south.
He adjusted his pants. He frowned when he realized her voice was
strained. He wondered what was wrong. Hearing her say that a
student, a male one at that was harassing her almost sent him over
the edge. He was ready to pack up and take a jet straight to
Nashville. She was his and he didn’t like sharing. Once she ended
the call with him, Matt cancelled whatever appointments he had for
the day. He’d let Collum deal with them. He called his private
pilot and told him to have the jet ready in two hours. He was going
to Nashville.

    Christina sighed, as she made it home. She
had an eventful day. Joshua cornering her like that really
surprised her. She wondered if she was going to have to start
carrying pepper spray around. She wasn’t the tallest person in the
world. She looked for signs of Sarah. It seemed she hadn’t stopped
by. Christina didn’t mind Sarah dropping by after all she was her
best friend. She suspected that she would make an appearance
tonight to talk about how her exams went. Ordering a large supreme
pizza and grabbing a bottle of pink moscato champagne, she sat down
on the couch and indulged in her favorite TV station, ID
investigation channel. What did you people expect? She had a degree
in criminal justice. The story was getting good when Sarah made her
presence known, coming through the door loud as usual. Christina
shook her head and giggled. They were practically polar
opposites.
     
     
     
    “Pizza! Feed me woman!” she said dropping
her things off and making a beeline for the food. Once settled on
the sofa, she gave Christina a smirk.
    “What?”
    “What exactly transpired between you and
that major hunk of a man?” Christina blushed furiously as Sara
wiggled her eyebrows at her.
    “Nothing, I’m mean we kissed,” she said
hiding her face behind the pillow.
    “Hmm, what else.” Sarah asked leaning in
closer.
    “Well, I’m going with him to the cabin in
the mountains.”
    “What?!” Sarah squealed. Christina hurriedly
poured herself a glass of champagne. She was going to turn into an
alcoholic if she kept downing the drinks.
    “I knew you had it in you! So that means
you’re prepared to lose it.”
    “Ugh, Sarah I hate when you say it like
that.”
    “You have to tell me, how it is with an
older man.”
    “Kill me now.”
    “Oh, we have got to go shopping to pick out
some little hot negligees for you.”
    “I will die. Can’t we just order them
online? I’ll pay for overnight shipping,” she said trying to deter
Sarah.
    “No! Get your visa ready honey. I know what
we’re doing tonight.” Christina looked at Sarah in fear. She was in
deep trouble, once Sarah got her mind on something, it was
impossible to stop her. Her shoulders sagged in defeat.
    “Very well.”

    Matt laughed as Collum’s voice screeched at
him from the phone. He was on his private jet heading to
Nashville.
    “You dirty bastard! You could’ve warned me!
Leaving me here to fend for myself against these savages. You owe
me Matt, and believe me I am going to collect.” Matt smiled as he
had a shot of tequila to relax.
    “Aw, it couldn’t have been that bad. You’re
just pissed that you wouldn’t be able to spend time
