He let go of my wrist and let me go. And that’s where I left him. Me walking away, again.
    After I left the gym I headed to work.  I was running a few minutes behind because I stayed in the shower for too long trying to wrangle my senses together and if I am being honest I didn’t want to see him as I walked out. 
    Walking into the shop I had three sets of eyes eying me up and down.
    “What? Can the boss be just a tad bit late?  Is that a crime?” I tried to control my heart rate once again so that way the girls wouldn’t be able to see right through me.  But no such luck each one had their own special ESP power.
    “Um Ry you look like hell and your shirt is inside out.” Manda so thoughtfully told me.
    “ Thanks.  I was in a hurry at the gym and I guess I wasn’t paying any attention to what I was doing.  Gawd I walked out like this??” Ugh just great I threw myself into my chair and began to twirl around with my head thrown back. 
    “What happened? I haven’t seen you this upset since…..well you know when.” Ky murmured under her breath trying to make it sound like she cared.  I know she did.  I know they all did.  But I didn’t want them to know that I saw him today.  I didn’t want to have to relive that memory of Friday night.  I only wanted him in my dreams and day dreams.  So that way I could pretend I wasn’t fascinated by the Greek God.
    “What did Jason do? Or wait it wasn’t Jason was it. Oh my God you saw him again didn’t you?” Kris’ eyes got wide and her hand flew to her mouth trying to hide he r shocked expression.
    “First off yes Jason pissed me off about Michael last night calling me a bad mom again.  Second…….yeah I am saw him at the gym.  He just stood there staring and that’s not even the worst pa rt.” I threw my arms up in the air and let out a big exaggerated sigh.
    “Well don’t leave us hanging. Hurry up and tell us before people start rolling in.  We are all interested in your love life or lack thereof.” Amanda said scooting a big cup of coffee under my nose.
    “ The worst part was some brunette pulling him by the arm calling him baby.  She made it very clear they were together.  Then he had the nerve to come after me and tell me he can’t stop thinking about me.  He even wanted to take me out for coffee.”
    “ The nerve of that Greek God asking you that in front of his bimbo. How dare he try to do that?” Ky said mockingly shaking her head back and forth with a grin on her face.
    “Well he asked me once he followed me to the shower room.  He tugged on my arm to get me from running away from him.  But I told him no because I didn’t feel like getting into a cat fight and I didn’t think his little groupie would like that too much since she needed to be off to work.”
    “You called her a groupie?!? Oh my God that is great Ryan!” cried Amanda jumping up and down like a little school girl.  That got us all giggling like we were 13 again.
    “Well at least you showed him didn’t you? I am proud you didn’t fall over him with him in sight or have another mini in your underwear. Now let gets your ready for the day. You are booked solid and you need your game face on.  No more thinking of the rock hunk with gorgeous blue eyes. “Kris stated as she tried to fluff up my hair.
    “Thank you.  Yes let’s get this day started.  Turn up the music and let’s get to work ladies!”
    The rest of the week flew by fast.  I was thankful that I did not run into Caleb the rest of the week at the gym.  I don’t think my heart or LR could handle anymore hunky rock star.  I wanted to forget all about him and Jason.  I haven’t spoken to Jason since last Monday when he broke my heart by his words. I never knew the man I once loved could be so cruel. So instead I picked up the pieces and carried on with my kids and kissed them once again goodbye and shuffled them off to school.  This week they will be at their dads and I won’t see them
