Trio part 3

Noah sat there, in front of Alexa wondering how exactly she was going to react to him breaking her heart. She was a great lover, sexy in all senses of the word, and a great friend. He didn't want to see her anymore but he wanted to remain friends. "So, why were you late? You should've called." "Sorry, Alex, but I was held up by the meeting I told you about." "You didn't tell me about any meeting." Alexa wondered when exactly she was told of this supposed meeting. If anything, he would have told her last night before getting intimate but that never happened. Her mind went back to remembering how she felt this morning. "Noah, we need to talk about where we're headed. I don't like the way I feel when I wake up to find you gone the next morning. It makes me feel like something I am not." "What is that?" "A whore." "I'm sorry. I really thought I told you about the meeting. I had to get back home and get ready for work also." "You have clothes in my house. You've purposely left clothes in my house just for that reason. It isn't the first time you do this, Noah." "Look, I am sorry. I should have told you when I arrived last night." Alexa looked away. This wasn't going to go any good. Her gut told her so. They were going to argue and bicker the rest of her break away and she didn't want that. She just wanted a clear status of what they were. All she asked. All she wanted. "Noah, I need you to tell me. Are we together or not?" "No." He didn't even pause or hesitate. He knew what he was going to say, almost as if it were planned. "Alexa, I'm not ready for a relationship. I want to keep dating and become better friends. You're such a great person. I don't think I could live a life without you somewhere in it." "Right, well, I'm going to go back to work. Maybe we'll continue this later." She saw no point in continuing the conversation. She received her answer and didn't need any more confirmation to what he gave her. She knew there was someone else. But she wasn't sure who. As she walked back to her building, she heard her name called and looked back to see Noah trying to get her attention. "Alexa, come to the house later." He gave her some cash and told her to take a cab there after her day was over. She didn't want to but more than likely would find herself taking that cab anyway. She needed closure even if she knew that being in his townhouse would only make it harder not to sleep with him. Her mind at full speed, trying to figure out what exactly he wanted, she passed by Justine who called her over again. "What does this girl want from me?" Alexa found herself thinking. "Hey, Alexa, I wanted to ask about that restaurant. Is it any good? What do they have there?" "If you come with me to my office, I'll give you a menu. Personally, I'm fond of everything." As Justine walked behind Alexa, she noticed that Alexa had the shape of a curvaceous model. She was slim and fit but still had enough meat not to look anorexic. Her hair swayed opposite her hips as she walked and she was always properly dressed for any occasion. Alexa walked behind her desk, took the menu of her favorite restaurant and handed it over. "Enjoy." "I will and thanks!" Justine exited the building for her lunch break. It was time to meet Noah.
