Maybe her feelings had been suppressed for too long. Jenny didn't know what was going through her mind. When Alec prepared to leave, she pulled him back and kissed him on the lips. She felt that she had gone mad.

But then Alec pushed her away and stared into her eyes. "Do you know what you're doing?"

"I don't. I don't know anything at all." She didn't want to know, either, and she didn't want to think. She was only following her heart.

"You'll have to remember that you brought this on yourself." Before Jenny could respond, Alec leaned in and kissed her passionately.

How they got to the bedroom and ended up lying on the bed was just a blur in Jenny's head. But when she woke up the next morning, her body ached all over as if a tank had run over her in the night. She came to her senses and stared at the empty bedroom, their clothes scattered all over the floor. It was then that she understood what had happened last night.

She and Alec...

She held her head, feeling a headache coming.

Nothing had ever happened between them when she was his wife. It was the same when she was his girlfriend. But now that they were nothing to each other, they suddenly had sex, and just before she moved in to stay with Evan, too.

Alec had drunk last night, but she was sober. Jenny wasn't sure why she would agree to it. If she had to think of a reason, it'd be because she didn't want to have any regrets.

If they couldn't be together, at least they'd be able to say that, for one moment, they belonged to each other.

The door was pushed open. Jenny instinctively covered herself with the blanket. When she saw that it was Alec, she blushed. "Why didn't you knock?"

"Do we still need to knock around each other? I've seen every part of you," he said with a bright smile.

Jenny glared at him and said hotly, "Get out. I want to dress myself."

"Alright. I'll be in the living room waiting to have breakfast with you." Alec smiled, not teasing her any longer.

After he left, Jenny got up and washed up in the bathroom. After dressing herself, she went into the living room.

Alec had apparently gotten up early. There was oatmeal and pancakes on the table. Jenny didn't know how he had the energy to cook so early in the morning. The pancakes were such a hassle, too. "Let's eat." Alec waved to her.

Jenny walked over, feeling her emotions swirl around in her chest. "Aren't you tired?"

"I'm fine." He smiled and teased, "You slept very quickly last night." He'd wanted to talk with her after sex, but she had already fallen asleep.

Jenny was speechless. "You're Mr. Faust, after all. Even your energy is incomparable," Jenny mocked.

Alec didn't mind. He placed a pancake on her plate.

As they lapsed into silence, Jenny's phone rang. They looked over and saw that it was from Evan. Their expressions shifted.

"What's up, Evan?" Jenny said. She felt Alec's gaze resting on her, and she was feeling a little anxious.

"I'm outside your apartment building. Where do you live? I'll come and get you." Evan's voice floated through the speaker. Alec's expression turned from nasty to worse.
