Reunions bitter sweet

Alexis had been back in Jericho for nearly a week and a half now. She was getting used to her new job, and everything else. She was finishing her day at home when she heard a motorcycle coming down the street. She had meet up at a bar with her old fling not merely 24 hours ago. And under some infulence of alcohol had told him partially -- not everything -- of the conditions to why she was back. And today, she was regretting that situation. Old feelings she had thought she had gotten rid of for the man, were surfacing once more.
She had had a long shift at the hospital nearly 20 hours today. So much for easing into the job. That was understatement of the year. And although she was happy that she was back, part of her wondered how long this would last before he tracked her down to here. And caused trouble here as well. If she left here, she wouldn't have anywhere else to go.
Alex had been boxing some plates and kitchen ware and had a glass of wine on the counter when she looked up hearing the doorbell ring. She had a feeling she knew who it was, but these days, she wasn’t expecting any company -- But -- she was always careful none the less. She looked through the spy hole on the door, and saw a distortion perception of Russ Johnson. Sighing, she collected herself and she unlocked the security chain and then opened the door. “Russ-- I --?”She asked as she remembered last night she had barely let him get his side in before she had an emergency call from the hospital and she had to go before she could hear his reaction to what she had just told him about -- almost everything ....
“Come in -- “She said as she opened the door for the man as she knew-- She knew that she had some explaining to do .. that was going to require some wine and some choice words at first. And maybe dinner -- Before the whole story could be told at least in her perception. “Sorry the place is a mess. I haven’t been home much to do anything really of unpacking yet.. Tied up at work for most of it ... “She stated as she apologized for the state of the place. Taped up boxes everywhere and even the couch was still needing to be pulled out of the box. “Can.. Can I get you something to drink perhaps?”She wondered as she shut the door once he was inside her house.
