Sex with the Ex

Paul & Kayla

I stood there, at the bottom of the driveway that led up to his enormous house, and I tried to quell the nerves that were rising in my chest at that moment. I had to keep it together.

He was studying architecture, I was in journalism, and it didn’t take long until the only stories I was writing seemed to revolve around him and the company that he was doing his best to get off the ground.
