Cameron goggled at the picture on Aiden's phone. "She's cute but…" "I know. How Keeley attracted the attention of one of the most powerful men in this city, I'll never understand." "Maybe with a little more information we might be able to figure it out. You know her, what's she like?" he asked with the expression of someone trying to solve a difficult puzzle. Aiden gave him the basics first. "Keeley Hall, age twenty-four, single with two roommates she's close to and a cat. Her only remaining…

Aiden had gone to the convenience store across the street to get a candy bar that would help fuel him as he worked after-hours sifting through files he lifted off of some of the company executives' computers on Aaron's orders. He was well paid for his efforts but he would still rather be playing his favorite MMORPG; his in-game wife, Nova Lundstrom, was beautiful and had a great sense of humor. Unfortunately, she also lived in Sweden. They video chatted from time to time but there didn't seem to be a…

Ryan owned a red 2004 Honda Accord and since he only had one small beer he was able to drive an inebriated Keeley home after sternly instructing her to stay put so he could make the twenty minute walk to his apartment building to get it. He didn't trust her on the subway alone in her state. While she waited, Keeley ended up pressing her cheek against the counter. She really shouldn't have drunk so much; she still had homework that should probably be done tonight. Looked like that was out the window…

Ryan walked through the front door when Keeley was halfway through her third appletini. He sat down on the barstool next to her and ordered a beer before turning to her with a raised eyebrow. He had never seen Keeley drink outside of a party before and wondered why she was suddenly taking advantage of Happy Hour. Something bad must have happened based on the look on her face. There were obvious tear tracks on her cheeks and worry lines creased her forehead. It was a bit of an uncomfortable sight.…

The impact of what she just did fully hit Keeley as she sat through an upper level epigenetics course after Aaron dropped her off. She spent the night at her ex-husband's ridiculously large multimillion dollar apartment. She was wearing his shirt. Worst of all, she had been nice to him even after he seriously pissed her off. She accepted his help out of desperation but she definitely should have pushed harder about having him take her home once she felt better. Keeley's head hadn't been in the right…

Aaron's heart nearly stopped when Keeley came out of the bathroom with a towel turban on her head wearing his pajamas. They were far too big for her; the pants were cinched as tight as they would go, the legs were rolled up probably six times, and the shirt hung nearly to her knees. She still looked wan from all the time she spent throwing up but he didn't think he had ever seen such a beautiful sight. She was here, in the home he bought with her in mind, wearing his clothes. "Can I have some more…

Keeley already threw up into a nearby trash can once before Aaron arrived but her stomach was still boiling. She felt feverish and saw a red haze surrounding everything when he appeared in front of her so he looked oddly like a cartoon devil. "You look awful," he noted. "Thank you Captain Obvious. Get me out of here before I throw up again," she hissed, still peeved that all of this could have been avoided if he hadn't stopped her on her break. He sighed and crouched down in a rather undignified…

Everything did not go back to normal. First thing in the morning, Keeley saw that Aaron tried to friend request her on Facebook. She deleted it instantly—no way did she want him seeing her posting things about her life. Since she avoided going to the café where they bumped into each other, he started hanging out around the medical school after he got off work. After about a week of desperately trying not to be seen, he finally caught her. "Keeley!" She flinched so hard she may have…
-
Keeley had a case of the munchies and sliced up an apple to eat before trying to go to bed. She finally finished her outline around 9 PM but wasn't tired enough to go to bed that early. She was still in the kitchen when the key turned in the lock and an expensively dressed Jennica waltzed through the door. "Where have you been?" "Acting gig. Some guy paid me to be his date to a party to get his parents off his back," she said as she removed her high heels. "Did he give you those clothes?" she…

"Lacy. What do you want," Aaron said flatly to the newcomer. "I'm not allowed to say hi now?" the woman purred as she tried to sidle up to him. Aaron backed away instantly, nearly knocking Jennica over. "No, you're not. Pay more attention to your date and leave Kimberly and me be." "Kimberly?" she asked sourly before turning to her opponent. "How long have you known Aaron?" "Not long," Jennica said coyly. She had a feeling her employer for the night really wanted this woman to be put in her…
