My Number One: Kasha & Knox

A harsh buzz set off, cutting into the air. The sound didn’t immediately register. They might as well have been on a private island. The windows were foggy. The atmosphere enticed them with the essence of desire. The phone buzzed once again.
“You’re not going to get that?” she asked.
“Oh yeah,” he reluctantly replied. Glancing around her he said, “My sister landed.”
Aidan kissed Jezebel on the forehead, nose, each cheek and finally lips. She didn’t allow him to linger.
“You need to get your sister.”
“I will. Let me just give her a call.” He connected the Bluetooth and Kaylee immediately answered.
“Is this how you take care of me, Aidan?” She sounded young.
Jezebel smiled. It warmed her to hear the closeness of the siblings.
“Don’t worry, I’m on my way.”
“That’s fine. I have a surprise for you,” she chuckled.
“Did Mom send a cake?”
“I brought you a treat, but not cake.” She was laughing harder. In the background was another voice doing the same.
“Who’s that?” Aidan asked. He’d just pulled up to where Jezebel had been directing him towards her car.
“Say hello . . .” Kaylee trailed off.
“Hi Aidan,” a sultry female voice sounded into the line.
“Who’s this?” he asked, sounding genuinely curious.
Jezebel didn’t wait to find out. She wasn’t sure it was a question she wanted or needed to be answered.
“Goodnight, Aidan.” Jezebel rushed the words, sprinting out of his car. She heard him call after her, but she raced to her car and was gone in no time.
She employed a renewed sense of determination in order to dig out of the cloudiness in her mind. She decided to change the past, deny it all and save her feelings.
The night never happened.
None of it.
Jezebel tried to compel herself to believe that, in now driving away, this was the moment that she’d left the office.
