the Dakota. I can believe it. John Lennon was always one of his heroes. It makes sense that he would move into that building.
    “There should be a Starbucks around there,” I say. Turning to Stuart I ask, “Do you know if there is a Starbucks by the Dakota?”
    “I’m sure there is but I can’t tell you which corner it’s on,” he says.
    I pull out my cell phone. “I can look it up.”
    “No don’t do that. I will call you in the morning and let you know where to meet me. Is that ok?” she asks.
    “Perfect,” I say giving her a slight hug, “See you tomorrow.”
    Stuart has a cab waiting for us and I move to get in. He gives the cab driver his address and we are off. He puts his arm around me and pulls me close, “I thought I would never get you alone.” He kisses me softly putting his hand on my cheek holding me gently. His hand moves into my hair and he softly tugs to tilt my head back as his mouth leaves mine and moves to my neck. Light nips and kisses start to drive me crazy. My neck is the one place that really gets me going. I put my hand in his hair and hold him where he is moaning softly.
    I close my eyes and try to lose myself in the sensations but as soon as my eyes close I picture Bobby doing these things to me. Startled, I jerk up and Stuart says, “What’s wrong?”
    I look ahead at the cab driver and use him as an excuse, “We have an audience.” I turn to Stuart. “Let’s just wait ‘til we get back to your place.” I move slightly away from him taking his hand.
    I turn my head and look out at the streets we are passing. People are going and coming from bars and plays or dinner. I wish I could be as carefree as they all look. I know that they all have problems but right now I don’t want to be in my head. I don’t want to examine my feelings and I certainly don’t want to close my eyes because I know when I do I will see Bobby’s face. How do I get through tonight? I know that Stuart is expecting us to have sex but with my head filled with Bobby how do I do that? Been there and it was a really bad idea then, equally as bad now. Can I explain it to Stuart? Will he flip out knowing that I am thinking about another man? I would, if I thought he was seeing another girl when I kissed him. But is it fair to him to not say anything? Do I just hope he can take my mind off of Bobby? Can I just forget about him now that he’s not with me? And he is so not with me. But what the hell was all of that wanting to talk things out?
    Stuart pulls me away from my thoughts. “I had fun tonight. I like your friends and who knew you have such influential ones. A Broadway star and a mega millionaire, you should use their influence at work.”
    “Really, use my friends to get ahead?” I ask. “I am not in the habit of using my friends. I will get where I want to be on my own, I don’t take shortcuts, Stuart, and that exactly what it would be. I work hard for everything I have.”
    “Don’t get me wrong,” he says. “I know you work hard, I was one of your clients remember? But there is nothing wrong in trading your friends’ names to get ahead a little. Just mentioning the fact that you know Bob Harber will make the brass at your office take more notice of you. Why is it so wrong? You don’t think I will be mentioning that we met at my office on Monday? Damn straight I will. I’ll drop his name in more than one conversation to be sure everyone knows I talked to him.”
    “I really don’t want you to do that, Stuart,” I say forcefully. I start playing with my hair. “My friends are just that my friends. And don’t be telling anyone about me and Bobby. If you bring up the fact that you are dating his ex-girlfriend and I hear about it I will end this faster than you can say commission. Got it?”
    I turn away from him again. I know that Stuart is ambitious but to use my friends is something I will not tolerate. Hell if I wanted to I could have used my father’s connections to get a better
