JARED "What did she come here to do, Jared?" She pushed herself away from me as I tried to help her get on her feet, her turquoise blue orbs staring heatedly at me. "It's nothing. Just let me help you up." I tried again but she would not let me. Unexpectedly, anger coursed through me. "Fine! Remain on the floor then!" I rose to my feet and went to occupy my own chair, my head spinning spirally in thoughts. They were conflicted at that moment. Why had I kissed her? What was the motive behind that kiss and the way she had kissed me back? Fear Lord, it felt like old times. Illicit affairs of six years ago sprung and flooded my mind, making me feel things I didn't want to feel. Things I should definitely not be feeling. I was a married man and she was a woman who hated me.
