working on his own, and the only reason he agreed to accept Tina’s offer of partnership was to get closer to her. A fool reason, he supposed, since she had no idea how he felt about her.
    Lately, his cock had a mind of its own, choosing to spring into life whenever he was near Tina or just by thinking about her. He knew he shouldn’t bother since she was in a committed relationship, but he couldn’t help it. She was just so beautiful and had a gentle nature. He foolishly dreamed of a future with her, in the house from his sketchbook, with two point five kids. Who was he kidding? She’d probably marry Erik and have a miserable life with his womanizing ways that everyone knew about, including Tina. Why she pretended she didn’t see him with that woman in the restaurant he didn’t know. It was just plain crazy and unhealthy to just keep it all bottled up inside and not discuss it with anyone.
    He finished with his shower and got dressed, and left his apartment with his briefcase in hand.  Kevin stood on the stoop looking around the neighborhood. He didn’t know how much longer he could take the emptiness or the loneliness. He hadn’t felt this depressed since he’d left Taiwan. He walked to the parking lot and got into his car. Minutes later, he was on the highway driving toward work.
    A familiar-looking dark blue BMW headed toward him. Kevin gazed over out of his window toward the other driver. Erik. And he wasn’t alone. A female sat in the passenger seat, and it wasn’t Tina. It was, if memory served him right, the young woman from the Thai restaurant. He remembered her hair….a brassy blonde and not the correct color for her skin tone. He sighed. Part of him wanted to pick up the phone and call Tina, but the other part told him to cool it. No doubt she already knew he was gone by now, or the filthy cheating scoundrel waited until Tina left for work and then he high-tailed it in another direction.
    Why didn’t Tina say anything? She was like two or three different females. There was the intelligent one who designed and invented wonderful gadgets and ran successful companies, and then there was the one who always beat the shit out of him in Kung Fu. She was forceful and independent at those times. And lastly, there was the weak Tina with no sense of self-respect. He didn’t know which one was real, but he desperately hoped it was the second one who came to life in the dojo two or three times a week. He needed a woman who would walk beside him as an equal, one who was willing to go the whole nine yards to get something accomplished. Not one who looked like she would burst into tears any minute. And no doubt the man was going to be late for work this morning, if he showed up at all. After yesterday, one would think he’d be smart enough to be on time. He’d even left early yesterday and missed the meeting, and he bet anything that Tina paid him for a full day’s work.  It was so unfair to the other employees who made it to work on time, who put in their eight hours, and didn’t leave until the job was done.
    Maybe Erik was a salaried employee instead of an hourly one. Maybe he should have a little talk with Alexis to find out how things worked around the office. He didn’t want to step on any toes, but as a full partner, he wasn’t going to stand for paying someone who didn’t work or couldn’t perform.
    Kevin was at the office building before he knew it. He drove into the executive parking spot assigned to him. Tina’s car sat in the spot next to his. He smirked. The woman wasn’t pretentious. She could have had a driver pick her up and drop her off every day with the kind of money she had. She drove a sensible economy car that probably got good miles to the gallon, while her leach of a boyfriend drove a very expensive foreign car.
    Kevin turned off the motor and slid out of the seat. The only reason he could see why Tina continued to put up with Erik was that he had to be good in bed. He rolled his
