Sorry this is short. I plan on adding to it but this is what I have for now.

I let out a sigh before opening the doors to the Bistro that London and I called our ‘hangout’. As I entered, the man behind the counter flashes me a big toothy smile.
“Senorita Lexi…the Usual?” His broken English has gotten easier to understand.
“Yes Dom that would be great.” I smile back at him as he goes to the machines. I spot Justin at a table near the window. He sees me and waves. I take the seat in front of him.
“They know you by name here eh?”
I smiled. Being in NYC for a few months I didn’t often hear Canadian slang, although lately all I heard were foreign accents…not that I was complaining.
“I come here a lot.” I say with a sheepish smile.
“Coffee that good?” he looks down at the mug cupped in his large hand and then back at me.
“Not really.”
Dom appears beside us and sets my latte on the table. He looks at Justin suspiciously.
“He’s just a friend Dom.” I say with a smile.
“And Senor Drake?”
“Still good.”
“Si.” He smiles and leaves us, satisfied that I wasn’t cheating on Drake.
“Everyone loves you Lexi, although it’s not very hard.”
I shrug. “Not everyone would agree with that statement.”
Justin laughed. “You even managed to get Hacker to fall for you.”
I take a long swig of my drink to avoid commenting on that. I still didn’t understand the actions of our boss…and I wasn’t about to discuss it with Justin.
“Lexi…I’m sorry I’ve been an ass. I let my jealously get in the way…”
“Yes you were an ass, but it’s going to take more than a sorry over coffee to earn my trust again.”
“I know that. I miss you.”
“I miss you too Jus…”
“I really don’t want to break you and Drake up….”
He looks down at his mug, which I know contains black coffee. Justin never was a guy that was big on sweets. I reach across the table and put my hand over one of his. He looks up at me expectantly with those big brown puppy dog eyes.
“I will always love you Justin, just not in the way you want. You have to let me go and open your heart to someone new.”
We talked for another couple hours before I knew I had to go. Drake was already paranoid about my stalker; I didn’t need him to be pacing the hotel wondering what Justin was up to.
On the cab ride home and idea popped into my head but I needed help to pull it off, so I texted my AV friend London about it and of course she loved it. Sassy Sexy Lexi was coming out to play.
