Lenora walked out of the news station building, wrapping her hair up into a pony tail she zipped up her company jacket. Her superiors were more than proud with the way her Jessie Marin investigation was coming about, but she needed a break so she was going to cover an accident site.
"Lenora."
"Jamie?" She asked with an instinctive smile. "What brings you here?"
"I was in the neighbourhood and I thought I'd ask you to a cup of coffee?" He offered.
Her brow rose up in question and she looked at her watch. She still had about twenty five minutes before the rest of the crew would come out.
"You're being awfully nice today? Is something wrong?" She asked.
"Don't worry I'm not here to ask your decision about what I asked last time. Can we just press pause on that and just be happy?" He asked.
Lenora brows furrowed in actual question. "Jamie you're scaring me, did something bad happen?"
He laughed lowly, but there was no hint of amusement, "must something bad bring me to see you? Is that really what we've become?"
"Well I hate to break to you Jamie but you were the one that decided this, not me. I know something is wrong right now, and trust me I really want to help. Can we have coffee this evening when I get off work? I have a story to cover now." She explained.
He bit his lips and nodded. "Six o'clock it is." He said turning around to walk away.
Lenora grabbed his arm and turned him around, and slammed her lips unto his. Expecting him to push her away, because for many reasons this kiss was wrong. But to her surprise he pulled her closer and deepened the kiss, slanting his lips over hers. Lenora shut her eyes after the first shock and moaned into the kiss, heady with desire.
She moved her hands up his strong chest and powerful arms and wrapped them around his neck pulling him closer. Jamie had different intentions though he wanted more, his hands moved lower and he was so happy she wore jeans today, he could do what he wanted. Sneaking his hands into her shirt, beneath her jacket to touch her skin. The contact surprised her so much so that she gasped and Jamie used the opportunity to taste her mouth. Lenora felt hot and sparky, his touch was leaving burning and sensational trails and awakening feelings only he was capable off. Soon she felt regretful, she shouldn't have started something she wouldn't be able to finish. But still she couldn't stop, she couldn't have enough, with Jamie there was never enough. He was a drug and her addiction and was a massive relapse for this addict.
Jamie mouth left her lips and he kissed her cheeks moving down when the heard someone cough. It's like a bucket of ice cold water was dumped on Jamie he immediately stiffened and let go of Lenora. Lenora inwardly groaned, turning to look at who it was, she let her groan come out.
"Gossip Gretha?" She said.
"That's not my name!" The woman yelled as she stared daggers at Lenora. Lenora shrugged.
"Do you not have the courtesy to not interrupt?" Lenora scowled at her, still clinging onto Jamie's arm.
"Do you not have the courtesy to go at each other like starved animals in public!" She scoffed.
Jamie let out an uncomfortable cough, and before he could apologise Lenora spoke. "That's how we looked right, we're always hungry for each other." She said with a smile.
"Is that so? I heard you too were broken up."
"Well as you can see" Lenora said wiping the sides of her lips for effect. "Why don't you run along and gossip about it, you two faced bitch."
The woman rolled her eyes, "Lenora." Jamie's warned.
"Don't even start defending her" she warned back.
"I'm sorry about her Susan." Jamie smiled softly at her.
"It's not your fault she was born damaged." Susan sneered. "It's all hers, not even her mother or father. She's just damaged."
Jamie opened his mouth to speak again but Lenora bit him to it. "As least I was born damaged, what's your excuse?"
"I'm not the one with physiological issues." She spat back.
"And yet I was marking my territory all around the love of your life." Lenora laughed.
Susan frowned fisting her palms she fought back the urge to punch the annoying bitch in front of her.
Lenora sighed as she pulled her hair into a pony tail, it was too much for her. Who did her senior think she was, an intern? She didn't sign up for entertainment news why was he telling her to interview an actress, Jessie Marin at that. She wanted court cases and lawsuits but oh no. She grabbed the files and walked to her cubicle. The sound of papers turning and typing always managed to calm her.
"Oh my, Susan, is that you're boyfriend. You were talking for pretty long."
Susan have her a coy smile but when she noticed Lenora walking past she spoke up. "He's a cop, the most handsome cop in the entire district."
Lenora stopped walking and looked at her with disgust, shaking her head at her pettiness, she started to walk away, but the gist became juicy.
"Do you think he will give you a scoop on the lawsuit?"
"Well, he is the detective in charge of the case" she smiled coyly. She turned slightly and noticed Lenora listening in, so she turned things up a notch. "I mean he wouldn't refuse me if I ask, I pretty much have the case bagged."
"Wow, I hope you'll introduce him to us someday" the lady smiled shutting her laptop.
Lenora eyes narrowed, the Lee lawsuit? That lawsuit was aganist KE holdings. She wanted that scoop! And she would get it.

"Jamie what a nice surprise!" Susan gasped as she saw Jamie Anderson walk into the building.
Jamie smiled at her, "hey, how are you doing Susan?"
"I'm good, what brings you here?"
"He's not here for you." A voice called out from behind her. "He's here for me" Lenora said and she stopped in front of her.
Susan looked at her outfit, a black short pencil skirt and a tight fitting pink chiffon blouse. Not to mention the seven inch stilettos that allowed her tower over her.
Susan turned around to look at Jamie. "I don't understand?"
"Let me explain it for you, you're going to cover a case and I'm going on a date." Lenora smiled sweetly at Jamie.
"D-date?"
"Em." Lenora nodded.
"You're going to cover a story? I'll definitely watch it." Jamie smiled from behind her, "we won't delay you. Lenora let's go." He said.
Lenora nodded and walked away with him, but not before stopping to whisper in Susan ear. "I hope you don't keep quiet about today. Tell it as you usually do, and oh don't lie. It's pretty embarrassing when you're caught calling my boyfriend yours."
Susan clenched her fist and struggled to hold back the tears that bit at her eyes. As she watched the man she had a crush on for the longest time, walk away with her mortal enemy.
