College Senior and actress Savannah Duley meets complicated and repressed billionaire business mogul, Alexander Holt. Their on and off again relationship starts to worry her when people around her warn her that maybe Alexander's "love" might be more...
It's the next morning, and I walk into the office feeling elated that Alexander finally said the words I've been waiting to hear him say. I walk inside, put my things on my desk and almost immediately I get a text from the director of my play to let me know that Marie Antoinette did so well, they want to take it on the road.

I immediately text Alexander.

He doesn't respond again right away, and I know he's irritated at the idea of me being away from him for more than a few hours. So, I tuck my phone away and get started on my work for the day. But I'm not looking at my emails too long before I get a random text.

I screenshot the stream and send it to Alexander. After waiting 10 minutes or so for a reply, I text him again.

Alexander doesn't say anything else and I know he's busy with being a CEO and everything, but it's so difficult for me to concentrate now. So, after shuffling through a few files and trying to check a few more emails, I text him again.

As I wait for Alexander to stop by my office, Aidan emerges from his office. There's something about his smug grin and round face that just rubs me the wrong way, and when he props himself with his arms crossed on the edge of my desk, I say, "Was there something wrong with Teegan's contract?"
"As a matter of fact, there was," he says.
"Oh. What did I miss?"
"Well, I'm wondering why you didn't hand deliver it to me yourself this morning instead of leaving it on my desk for me to find."
I'm not sure what to say.
"In the future, I want all contracts hand-delivered to me when I arrive in the morning, understood?"
I nod, but I see Alexander walking through the door and Aidan jumps off the corner of my desk with a smile and turns to greet him.
"Mr. Holt! To what do we owe the honor?"
I roll my eyes.
"I'm not here to see you, Barlowe. I'm here to see Savannah. You can go back to your business."
Alexander leans down, kisses my cheek, and whispers, "Let's go."
I grab my purse and coat, but as we're walking through the door to leave, I say, "Where are we going?"
"I need a coffee."
"Oh."
As we walk down the sidewalk to get coffee, I say, "What was your meeting about?"
"Same stuff it always is about."
"Tell me," I say and wrap my arm around his.
"I own a large company, I'm always in meetings."
I realize he isn't going to tell me, so I say, "In other news, Simon texted me about the play."
"I know."
"Aren't you happy for me?"
"As happy as I can be about the fact that he's going to be taking you away from me."
"What do you mean?" I ask. "He's not taking me away from you. We're just taking the show on the road. I mean, can't you postpone meetings and travel with me?"
"So I can be the Garfunkel to your Simon?"
I roll my eyes.
"Stop pouting and come with me. We're gonna have fun!"
"Oh I'm coming with you, but believe me when I tell you no one is having any fun."
