crazy. Rachel had no idea what was going through his head.
    “Who are the flowers from?”
    Rachel looked around the room to see what he was referring to.
    Oh shit. I forgot about those. They came yesterday from Colin. Think of something, quickly...
    “They were for Genene from her ex. She didn’t want them and gave them to me.”
    Rachel knew that was such a horrible lie but she couldn’t think of anything at the last minute. She didn’t even know why she was even lying. It’s not like they were together anymore.
    “You know what… They are from a friend,” Rachel confessed.
    “Are you fucking him?!” Vinnie demanded to know. His face was turning a violent shade of red right before her eyes.
    “I’m not you. I don’t go around fucking everyone I meet!”
    “So there is someone else?”
    “No. He’s just a friend who’s been there for me during my painful time. You know, the time when
    my husband cheated on me.”
    Vinnie sat down in her guest chair, making himself comfortable. Rachel  just wanted this visit to come to an end.
    “You need to go.”
    He completely ignored her as he rose from his chair. Closing the distance between then, he walked up to her and put his hands on her face.
    “Rach, I love you.”
    Vinnie kissed Rachel on the mouth. Her mind started floating. She felt torn. It was like a spell was being cast over her. Her body had goose bumps everywhere. He was getting her hot; she wanted to jump his bones right then and there, but she was having an inner war with herself. Rachel wanted to hate him desperately but she couldn’t. There was a force that made her cling to him. He began whispering obscenities in her ear.
    “I need to take you right here on this fucking desk. I want to rip your clothes off and fuck you. I’m gonna go so deep inside you, you’ll forget about the guy who sent you those flowers.”
    That brought Rachel back to the present. Rachel pushed him away. She was so hot at the moment, she needed a minute.
    “The only reason you’re trying to take me is because you think I’m with another guy.”
    “No! Are you fucking kidding me? I’ve been trying for eight months. I just found out about the florist ten minutes ago.”
    Oh yeah…
    “He’s not a florist, he’s a doctor.”
    “You know what, I’m done! I’m tired of you playing hard to get! You want to be with me. I want to be with you. I love you and I want you back. When you decide to come to your senses, you know where to find me.”
    Vinnie walked out the door, leaving her soaking wet, standing there in awe. She had never seen Vinnie just give up and leave. He also never knew about her and another guy before. She could have pleaded that there was nothing going on, but a part of her wanted Vinnie to be jealous. She knew he would be back. He always comes back.

Chapter Four
     
    A week had gone by and all was quiet. Rachel hadn’t heard from Vinnie since the day in her office. He had never gone this long without talking to her. She was guessing he was back with Clara or just really pissed off. Vinnie should have received the divorce papers by now. She would find out today when she met up with Carson at the diner in an hour. Ever since their conversation about timing, Colin had even backed away from contacting her as much as he did. Rachel was starting to feel lonely. She would actually be seeing Vinnie tonight at the field for the boys’ baseball game. He’s the coach, so he would have to be dead to miss it. Because it rained all last week, both of their games were canceled. This game was probably going to be interesting.
    Carson said he would meet Rachel at the Continental to discuss the next steps in the process. As she walked up to the restaurant, Carson was leaning his back against the window, briefcase in hand, and smiling. Rachel always thought Carson looked like Mark Walhberg. She had a thing for celebrities. She read trashy magazines and compared everyone she came in contact with to a celebrity. Gia
