have to break up,” she said by way of answering the phone, hoping he’d get the hint that she was still embarrassed about her actions the previous night and not ready to face him, yet.
    A bark of laughter echoed through the phone, and Sarah disconnected the call instantly.
    The phone buzzed a couple more times, but she ignored it and devoured more of the cake in front of the TV. Breakfast television was always entertaining, but today the news of other people’s misery made her even more melancholic, and she changed over to the kids’ channel.
    “Baby?”
    Sarah nearly fell off the couch when she heard Mark’s voice. “How did you get in here?”
    His chuckle did something to her body, yet, she wasn’t able to figure out whether it was irritation or pleasure.
    “Keys,” he replied simply.
    Sarah listened to his steps as he strode down the hall until he stood next to her. Ignoring him, she turned up the volume and laughed at some lame scene on the telly.
    “Good morning,” he said as he sat next to her.
    “We’ve broken up.”
    He laughed again.
    Turning to face him, she gave him a slap on his arm. “Will you take me seriously, please?”
    “I do. We’ve broken up and now we rekindle our friendship,” he replied as he reached for the cake. “Vegies so early in the morning?”
    “Shut up. I’m having my orgasm here, and I need peace and quiet for that.”
    Markus nearly spat out the cake in his mouth along with his snort.
    Sarah shot him a glare. She was sure she’d hit rock bottom, but he didn’t have to make it that obvious.
    Letting out a long sigh, she leaned back into the couch. “I’m truly sorry about yesterday, Marky. I have no idea what came over me.”
    “Physical attraction,” he said with a shrug.
    She moved away from him, angry tears burning the back of her eyes. “For crying out loud, for once will you take me seriously?”
    “I do, baby.”
    She bit her lip as she studied her face. “I’m sorry,” she whispered again.
    “Saz. Let it go. It was an intense twenty-four hours. The thing with Timmy, coping through a wedding not only with a headache, but also with the disappointment. Shit happens.”
    She nodded, but stayed silent, not sure how to answer that. Was he referring to her not only inappropriate but also awkward coming on to him as shit ?
    Not sure how to cope with her emotions and her feelings towards Markus, she placed a quick kiss on his cheek. “I’m heading back to bed to get some more sleep. I’ll catch up with you during the week.”
    Sarah heard him mumbling something along the lines of Will you be all right? but choose not to answer and headed straight into her room, throwing herself onto the bed. They’d known each other for such a long time, the thought of him as more as a friend should give her a shudder instead of tingles.
    “Aww, baby.”
    He’d obviously followed her into the bedroom, and at the sound of his low voice, she rolled over on the bed and buried her face into the pillow. “What?”
    Trying to remove her pillow, he said, “You’re really in a bit of a mess here.”
    “Probably just the hangover.”
    A thousand thoughts went through her head and one of them was that she didn’t want to talk to him. She didn’t want to look into his eyes. Frustratingly, though, she still wanted to kiss him again.
    “Go away! I need more sleep.”
    Markus pulled on her arm until she sat next to him. She didn’t fight him as he shifted her until she was sitting across his lap, leaning against his strong chest. His muscular arms surrounded her and gave her a small measure of comfort. Lifting her head, he wiped away her tears with his thumb. When the powerful waves of emotion dissipated, she met his gaze. His beautiful eyes, matched with his mischievous grin made her melt into a puddle.
    In that state of mind, she leaned in and kissed him softly on his lips. When he didn’t move, she leaned back to look at him. Gazing into each other’s eyes, Markus reached
