PREVIOUSLY ON "RELATIONSHIPS"
Jeff went to the LA County Jail to make a visit to Alex's ex-boyfriend, Dean Horowitz. Jeff was going to wait until Dean got out of jail, but was too excited of the opportunity to set up a meeting with him. Jeff sat down at a table with a glass window in the center that seperated him from the prisoners and then he saw Dean sit down in front of him. Dean was about 6'2 piercing blue eyes, dark hair, had that dangerous good looking thing going on for him. Jeff and Dean picked up the phones to communicate on and Jeff began the conversation.
"Hello Dean." Jeff said calmly
"Who are you?" Dean asked
"My name is Jeff. I know an old friend of yours." Jeff replied
"Well?" Jeff asked "Do you still love Alex?"
"How do you expect me to answer that?" Dean asked "I hardly know you."
"Yes, well I'm the one who can get you two back together. All I need to know is if you still want him?" Jeff asked smiling his devilish smile.
"You said he's in a relationship with a bad guy?" Dean asked
"Yes, and I believe that you can redeem him." Jeff replied
Dean thought it over for a minute.
"All right. When I get out of here, I'll go to him." Dean said
"Great." Jeff replied
"Ray get off of me." Alex said
"I know you want it. Just admit it." Ray said in the same manner in which Taylor told him in his dream.
"Oh God." Alex said worried
Ray then grabbed Alex and dragged him into his bedroom. Alex tried to punch Ray, but that only made Ray angrier and Ray punched Alex in the stomach causing Alex to fall over. Ray then through Alex on the bed and slammed the door to his bedroom shut.
"I'm so sorry." Ray said
"It's okay. Everything's going to be okay." Alex replied
Ray and Alex sat there for a long time, just holding one another.
"I'm just being paid to do what you want me to do. Do you think I want to be spending my time flirting with Alex, when all I want to do is be with you?" Taylor said
"Excuse me?" Jeff asked shocked to what Taylor revealed to him.
"Well, what do you say?" Taylor asked
"That wasn't too bad." Jeff replied then gave Taylor a quick kiss "I'll think about it."
Taylor looked a little upset.
"You'll think about it?" Taylor asked frowning a little.
"Yes, you should be grateful. But, before I think about the possibility of us, I still need you to distract Alex for me." Jeff said
"For how long?" Taylor asked upset
"Just until Alex's ex-boyfriend gets out of jail, then when his boyfriend his here, he'll do the rest." Jeff replied
Ray and Alex began heading for the door, but then Alex froze in his steps looking at the person in the door way of the video store.
"Hey Alex." Dean said
"Oh my God." Alex replied in shock.
"So, are we going to try and be friends again?" Dean asked
Alex looked at Dean a bit hesitant to answer, but finally said "Yea, we'll try it."
"A NEW FRIENDSHIP"
RAY'S APARTMENT
"You're okay with the fact that Alex is going to be friends with his ex-boyfriend?" Larry asked
"Yes, I trust Alex." Ray replied
"I don't know. It seems kind of risky if you ask me." Larry said
"I know that his ex-boyfriend probably still has feelings for Alex, but Alex doesn't." Ray said "Alex and I love each other."
"I know, but if Alex's ex-boyfriend still loves him then you're going to have some problems." Larry replied
Ray sat there on the couch realizing that Larry does have a good point...
ALEX'S WORK
"You're having lunch with Dean?" Alex's friend, Blake, asked.
"Yea." Alex replied
"And Ray's okay with it?" Blake asked
"Yea, he's fine with it. He knows that I don't love Dean anymore." Alex said
"Yea, but Dean probably still loves you." Blake said
"But he knows that we're only going to be friends." Alex said
"After what Dean did, I can't believe you're so willing to be friends with him again." Blake said
"Believe me, I had my doubts at first on whether I wanted to be friends with Dean or not." Alex replied "But, I feel that I should at least give this a chance right? I mean, Dean was a part of my life for a long time."
"You guys didn't even sleep together." Blake pointed out.
"So?" Alex asked "Being in a relationship doesn't always mean screwing each other. Unlike you."
"Hey!" Blake said laughing "I'm insulted."
"Shut up Blake. You know it's true." Alex replied smiling.
"Well, maybe a little." Blake said
"I feel bad for Meghan. She probably never gets a good night sleep with you around." Alex said
"Hey...wait a second. Don't try and change the subject. We're talking about you and Dean." Blake said
"Listen Blake, I appreciate the fact that you're worried about Dean and his motives, but I have to give him a chance." Alex said
"Fine. But just be careful okay? You're too nice Alex, that's always been your biggest problem." Blake said
"I just try to see the best in people." Alex said "Unless of course their name happens to be Jeff Morales."
JEFF'S APARTMENT
"Everything is working out perfectly!" Jeff said
"I'll admit. You're sly devilish ways are working out nicely." Taylor said sitting down on Jeff's couch.
"Pretty soon, Alex will be out of Ray's life and Ray will finally realize what he lost when he threw me out." Jeff said soberly.
"So where does that leave me?" Taylor asked confused
"What are you talking about?" Jeff asked taking a sip of his brandy
"You said that you're going to make Ray realize what he lost when he threw you out. Does that mean that you're going to try and get back with him?" Taylor asked
"Let's not talk about that now." Jeff said getting up.
"No, let's talk about it now." Taylor replied "I care for you Jeff, and I don't want to just be pushed a side."
"Don't get so dramatic, don't you see that once Alex is gone and Ray wants me back that I will finally be at a place to get my revenge?" Jeff explained
"I don't believe you." Taylor said "I think that this has been the plan from day one. You said you wanted to destroy Ray, but I think the truth of the matter is that you want Ray back."
"Why would I say I want to get revenge on Ray, if I wanted him?" Jeff asked
"To get someone like me to do what you wanted." Taylor said "If I thought I could never get a chance to be with you, do you think I would have stuck around this long? You're a smart guy Jeff and you realize that the only way to get people to do what you want is to lead them on at some points."
"You're crazy." Jeff said
"Am I?" Taylor asked "Or is that I'm smarter then you estimated?"
"Let's just drop the subject. We still have work to do." Jeff said getting angry.
"No, you have work to do." Taylor replied "I'm not going to be used anymore."
"You're making a huge mistake, because if you back out on this now, don't expect me to be paying you." Jeff said
"I could care less." Taylor replied heading towards the door.
"If you tell Ray or Alex, you'll regret it!" Jeff shouted.
Taylor turned towards Jeff and gave a smile.
"Are you nervous?" Taylor asked
"Son of a Bitch." Jeff replied
"Who knows, maybe I'll tell them and maybe I won't." Taylor said with a cocky smile closing the door.
"You bastard!" Jeff called out.
Jeff looked at the front door and gave a look of mixed emotions. It was a look with a mix of sadness that his relationship with Taylor just ended, a look of anger, and a look of worry that Taylor might just tell Ray what he's planning and ruin everything...
DEAN'S APARTMENT
Dean had just finished moving into his new apartment. It's only a block away from Ray and Jeff's apartment complex. Dean went to his room to get ready to have lunch with Alex. After he got ready he headed towards the door when his phone rang.
"Hello?" Dean asked picking up the phone.
"It's Jeff."
"Oh, hi Jeff." Dean replied "What is it? You sound pissed."
"Nevermind that. I was just making sure that you were getting together with Alex today." Jeff said
"Yes. I'm on my way now." Dean answered
"Good. Remember you have to do this subtly, if Alex has any idea of what's going on then the plan is ruined." Jeff stated
"I know." Dean replied "I have to go."
"All right. Bye." Jeff said hanging up.
Dean grabbed his coat and left...
RAY'S APARTMENT
"I'm telling you the fact that Alex's ex is living so close to you will only give him the advantage." Larry said
"What do you mean?" Ray asked
"Don't be so naive Ray. Dean knows that Alex will be here a lot right? And with him living so close you know that he's going to try and "accidently" run into Alex when he comes over and he'll be able to explain himself easily since he lives so close." Larry explained.
"I guess you have a point." Ray replied
"Yea, I do. I think you should go and talk to Dean." Larry said
"And say what?" Ray asked
"Tell him that whatever he has up his sleeve to get Alex back won't work." Larry replied
"You're right." Ray said standing up.
"Damn straight I'm right!" Larry replied "Go, now!"
"Okay, I'll be back." Ray said heading towards the door.
"And be firm about it." Larry said
"Yea." Ray replied then left.
Ray went outside and started walking down to Dean's apartment. He was was about to enter when Dean came out just before him.
"Dean, can we talk?" Ray asked
"Oh, sure." Dean replied "Um, lets go up to my apartment and talk."
"Okay." Ray said
Ray and Dean went up to Dean's apartment. When they entered Ray looked around and was suprised that Dean settled in already. The apartment was very bare, although Ray wasn't too suprised considering Dean was in jail.
"Nice place." Ray said
"Thanks. Can I get you a drink?" Dean asked
"No, I won't be taking up much of your time." Ray replied
"What did you want to talk about?" Dean asked
"I'll just get right to the point." Ray began "You're going to try and get back together with Alex aren't you?"
"I'm not going to lie to you Ray." Dean replied "I wish that Alex and I were together."
"I see." Ray answered
"But, that doesn't mean I'm going to try and break you two up." Dean added
Ray felt relieved, yet at the same time was still unsure if he could trust him or not.
"Well, thank you." Ray said
"No problem, but I'm actually late to go meet Alex." Dean said
"Oh that's right, you two are having lunch today." Ray remembered "Have fun."
"Do you want to join us?" Dean asked politely, but Ray could tell he was only asking out of courtesy.
"No, that's all right. Thanks for asking." Ray replied "Take care."
"You too." Dean replied and him and Ray left the apartment...
JEFF'S APARTMENT
Jeff paced up and down his apartment waiting for Harvy Lewis, the private detective, to come over. Finally after a half hour of waiting Harvy showed up.
"It's about time." Jeff said opening the door.
"Well, you did call at the very last moment." Harvy replied entering
Jeff closed the door and walked into the living room where Harvy was standing.
"Do you want a drink?" Jeff asked
"Yea sure. What do you got?" Harvy asked taking off his tacky plaid sports jacket.
"Brandy all right?" Jeff asked
"Sounds fine." Harvy replied sitting down on the couch.
Jeff walked back from the bar area and handed Harvy the drink.
"Thanks." Hary said accepting the drink. "So, I'm guessing you have another job for me?"
"No wonder they call you a private detective." Jeff replied dryly "Yes, obviously I have a job for you."
"What is it?" Harvy asked taking a sip of the brandy.
"I need you to give me some information on a man named, Taylor Colbin." Jeff replied sitting down in a chair opposite Harvy.
"Who is this Taylor Colbin?" Harvy asked
"You're the private detective, find out for yourself." Jeff retorted
"So, you don't even know this guy?" Harvy asked
Jeff was quiet for a moment. "He's an old friend of mine." Jeff finally answered "And I need some information on him."
"What kind of information?" Harvy asked
"The kind that he wouldn't like other people to know about." Jeff answered coldly.
"And when do you need this information by?" Harvy asked
"As soon as possible." Jeff replied "I need you to get started on it right now."
ALEX'S WORK
"Dean just pulled in." Blake said blandly looking in the parking lot in front of the video store.
"Do I look all right?" Alex asked
"I thought you just wanted to be friends with Dean?" Blake asked
"I do." Alex replied confussed
"Then why do you care if you look all right or not?" Blake retorted with a smirk on his face.
"You're an ass." Alex said giving a smirk of his own.
"I still can't believe you're going to have lunch with him." Blake said
"Shut up he's coming in." Alex replied
Dean walked into the video store and approached Blake and Alex.
"Hey Alex." Dean said smiling then he turned to Blake, "Hi Blake, it's been a long time."
"Not long enough." Blake said under his breath. "How are you Dean?"
"I'm doing all right." Dean replied
"So, where you living now?" Blake asked
"I bought an apartment." Dean answered
"Interesting." Blake replied "You just got out of jail and you were able to get an apartment so soon?"
"I got a job." Dean retorted
"What kind of job?" Blake asked
"Is this an interrogation?" Dean asked defensively
"Of all people, you should know what an interrogation's like." Blake snapped back.
"Okay!" Alex said breaking up the argument "Blake, I'll talk to you later. Dean, come on, my shift is over for today."
With that Dean and Alex left the video store. Blake stood there watching them go and feeling very concerned for Alex and what he might be getting into.
Dean and Alex walked over to an Italian resteraunt and sat down at a table. They both sat there uncomfortably in silence looking at their menus before Dean took the first move.
"I like this place." Dean said
"I know. We came here all the time." Alex replied
"Yea, those were good time. Coming here after work then we would go out together." Dean said smiling as he remembered.
Alex smiled to remembering those times. However, he was beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable so he was more than relieved when the waitress came to take their orders. After the waitress left Alex quickly changed the subject.
"So, how do you like your apartment?" Alex asked
"It's nice. A lot better than the one I was going to buy after high school remember?" Dean asked
"Oh yea. That one was pretty bad." Alex said laughing a little.
"That was a rough time. My dad wanting me out of the house and now my mom and dad don't even want to know me anymore." Dean said feeling slightly weak.
"I know, that was a rough time." Alex said trying to comfort Dean.
"But it's in the past. Can't change it." Dean said putting up his 'tough guy' act again. "So, how long have you been with Dean?"
"About six months." Alex replied
"Been a good six months?" Dean asked
"Yea." Alex answered a bit hesitently "Well, the beginning was really great."
"Only the beginning?" Dean asked a bit confused
"Well, it's nothing Ray did. Its his ex-boyfriend Jeff who came in about one month into our relationship and ever since he arrived he's been trying to ruin me and Ray." Alex explained
"How so?" Dean asked
"Dean, are you sure you're okay with me talking about this? I don't want to make you uncomfortable." Alex replied
"No, it's okay really." Dean said reassuringly
"Well, when Jeff first came I tried to be as nice as I could, but he made it clear that him and I will never be friends." Alex began "He's done little things that cause friction in my relationship with Ray. Him and I even fought once."
"You two fought? Like you shouted at one another?" Dean asked
"No, well, yea we've yelled at each other before but we actually fought, full on fist fight." Alex replied
"You two actually fought?" Dean asked beginning to get pissed at Jeff for the idea of him trying to hurt Alex. "Did he hurt you?"
"Just a few cuts and bruises, but he didn't come out so great either." Alex replied smiling a little.
"That son of a bitch." Dean said getting angry
"Oh don't worry about Dean. It's all right." Alex said
"No it's not. I know I don't really have a right to get upset about it, but I don't want people messing with you." Dean replied
Alex looked at Dean a little confused as to why Dean was getting so upset about this.
RAY'S APARTMENT
"He said he wasn't going to try anything." Ray said
"And you believe him?" Larry asked
"Look I did what you told me to do. I went over to talk to him." Ray said
"Did you threaten him that he better not try anything?" Larry asked
"The last time I threatened somebody it almost caused Alex to break up with me." Ray replied "So no I didn't threaten him."
"So what are you going to do?" Larry asked
"Nothing." Ray answered "I have to trust that Alex will be able to resist any attempt Dean might make."
"So that's it?" Larry asked
"No, I'm going to go out." Ray replied
"Where you going?" Larry asked getting up.
"I just have to get something." Ray replied
Ray headed towards the door while Larry watched him head out knowing what Ray had in mind.
"Ray, leave it to you to try and solve things with money." Larry said to himself.
JEFF'S APARTMENT
Jeff was sitting down watching some TV when he decided to call Dean to see how things were going with him and Alex. He picked up the phone and dialed the number.
"Hello?" Dean asked answering the phone.
"Dean, it's Jeff." Jeff replied
"I can't talk. I'm in the middle of lunch with a friend." Dean said somewhat crudely
"Oh, Alex, good. Well, give me a call later. Actually stop by later." Jeff said
"I will, because there is something I need to discuss with you." Dean said sharply
"Fine. Bye." Jeff replied hanging up and wondering why Dean sounded somewhat hostile.
RESTERAUNT
"Who was that?" Alex asked as Dean put his cell phone away.
"No one important." Dean replied taking a bite of his pasta.
"Anyway, I'm glad that you and I have decided to be friends." Alex said
"Yea, same here. I only wish though that things had worked out differently." Dean said looking at Alex longingly
"Dean, I-" Alex began but Dean cut him off.
"I know you and Ray are happy together, but let me ask you this, can Ray love you like I loved you? Has he ever done anything to hurt you?" Dean asked
Alex looked and Dean suddenly feeling very uncomfortable.
"Ray loves me a lot and if Ray has ever hurt me, it doesn't add up to a fraction of what you put me through when we were together." Alex said getting up. "I have to go, I've lost my appetite."
"Alex wait." Dean said putting money down on the table for the food and going after Alex.
Alex walked outside of the resteraunt followed quickly by Dean who caught up to him.
"Alex, I'm sorry." Dean said stopping Alex.
"I should have known. This just wasn't going to work." Alex said. He then turned to face Dean. "We have too much of a bad past together to try and make this work out."
"Alex, please, don't give up on us being friends that quickly." Dean pleaded
JEFF'S APARTMENT
Jeff was making himself a drink when the phone rang.
"Hello?" Jeff asked answering the phone. "Oh hi Harvy, have you found something already?....You have?....What is it?"
Jeff listened as Harvy told him the information he found out about Taylor. With the info he found out Jeff couldn't help but smile and relish the power he has over Taylor.
"Well, thank you for finding this out so quickly, there will be a bonus in that check for you. Oh and keep looking stuff up about him, if he's done something like that then I'm sure there are other things he has done before. Take care." Jeff said happily hanging up then called up Taylor. "Taylor, it's Jeff. You should come over....this has nothing to do with us, I have some information that I think you might want to stay hidden from your family, friends, everyone."
RAY'S APARTMENT
"You here Ray?" Alex said opening the door to Ray's apartment.
"Yea." Ray replied from his bedroom "How was lunch?"
"It was all right I guess." Alex said walking into the bedroom and seeing Ray put on a t-shirt. "What did you do today?"
"I was here in the morning talking to Larry. Then I went out for a little bit." Ray said walking up to Alex and giving him a kiss.
"Thanks again for a key to your apartment. Comes in handy." Alex said
"So, what did you and Dean talk about?" Ray asked
"Just talked about what's been going on in our lives since we last saw each other." Alex replied
"How much could have been going on in Dean's life since he last saw you? I mean, he was in jail the whole time." Ray said laughing a little, but after a minute he realized that was an innapropriate comment. "Sorry, that was insensitive of me."
"It's fine, it's the truth after all." Alex said "But towards the end of lunch Dean got me kind of mad."
"Why? What did he do?" Ray asked concerned
"It's nothing big, I'd rather not go into it. We talked a little more and smoothed things out...somewhat." Alex replied "It's just hard you know? I mean, how can someone just go on and be friends with their ex, especially when it ended as badly as my relationship with him?"
"Look at my relationship with my ex, does it look like I have the answer to that question?" Ray asked smiling a little hoping to cheer Alex up a little.
"I guess you're right." Alex replied smiling back.
"Oh, by the way. I have something for you." Ray said
"For me?" Alex asked "Why?"
"I was just out and decided I wanted to treat you to a nice gift." Ray said picking up a small box and handing it to Alex.
"Ray, you shouldn't have done this." Alex said
"Okay, I'll take it back." Ray said playfully
"Don't you dare!" Alex said laughing
Alex sat down and opened the box.
"Oh my God." Alex said looking at the gift in awe.
"Do you like it?" Ray asked hopefull
"Ray, this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen." Alex replied looking down at his new Rolex.
"Nice isn't it? It's from the Oyster Collection, it's platinum with a President bracelet." Ray said
"Ray, this is too expensive. I can't accept this." Alex said
"Alex, I can afford to get you things like that, let me spoil you once in a while." Ray said
"But Ray-" Alex began but Ray cut him off
"No, just give me a kiss and we'll call it even." Ray said smiling.
Alex got up and kissed Ray.
"Thank you." Alex said "This is really great of you."
"I'm glad you like it." Ray said
"Are you kidding? This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." Alex said putting the Rolex on.
Ray smiled as he saw how excited Alex was about the watch.
JEFF'S APARTMENT
Jeff went to answer the knocking on his door. He opened it up and saw Taylor standing there looking pissed.
"So, you wanted me to come over. Here I am." Taylor said bitterly.
"Come in." Jeff replied smiling enjoying the idea of seeing Taylor upset.
Taylor walked in not saying anything.
"Well, I'll just get right to the point." Jeff began "I would like to know what you intend on doing with the imformation you know about what I'm doing?"
"Oh, you still scarred I might tell Ray and Alex?" Taylor asked smiling thinking he has the upper hand in the situation. "Don't worry, I won't tell them, I mean, it'd be much more fun to have something to hold over you."
"Don't ring your victory bell yet Taylor. Before you declare your triumph maybe you might want to make sure no one finds out about your past."
"What are you talking about?" Taylor asked getting a little worried.
"I think you know." Jeff replied relishing the look of Taylor getting worried.
DEAN'S APARTMENT
Dean sat down at his table writing in his journal. Something he learned to do to help take out some of his aggressions.
'Today I just found out that Jeff got in a fight with Alex, my Alex. That son of a bitch and he thinks that he can just go and physically hurt my Lex that way. But he'll get what he deserves, Jeff thinks that I'm here for his benefit, but it's all just going to blow up in his face. I'd tell Alex what was going on, but I already acted like I didn't know Jeff and telling Alex that I do would just make him think that I'm lying to him again. I just have to get rid of Jeff. That's it! All I have to do is get rid of Jeff.'
RAY'S APARTMENT
Alex and Ray were on the couch together kissing.
"Thanks again for the watch Ray." Alex said between kisses.
"Anything for you." Ray replied
Ray and Alex kissed some more...
"So, do you want to go to the bedroom?" Alex asked
"You tired?" Ray asked
"No, I'm not tired." Alex said with a sly smile on his face.
Ray however did not give the reaction Alex was hoping for.
"I don't know Alex." Ray replied
"Why not?" Alex asked
"Considering what I did last time." Ray reminded
"I know, but that was in the past." Alex said
"Are you sure?" Ray asked
"Positive." Alex replied
"Okay." Ray said smiling as him and Alex walked hand in hand to Ray's bedroom and closed the door.
The next day Alex woke up wrapped in Ray's arms. Ray was awake as well smiling at him.
"Hey." Ray said softly
"Hi." Alex replied
"How you feeling?" Ray asked
"Perfect." Alex replied
"Me too." Ray said giving Alex a kiss.
"I love you." Alex said
"I love you too." Ray replied
"I guess we better get up." Alex suggested
"Do we have to? Let's just stay here all day." Ray answered not wanting to get up.
"As tempting as that sounds, I have to work today." Alex replied
"Fine. Go ahead. Leave me." Ray said trying to make Alex feel guilty
"Ray, don't try and make me feel guilty you know I want to stay, but I just can't." Alex said
"Fine, but call me tonight okay?" Ray asked
"Of course." Alex replied getting out of bed and heading to the bathroom to wash up.
Ray got up as well and put on his robe and headed into the kitchen to get some coffee. After the coffee was done Alex emerged from the bathroom dressed for work.
"Well, I gotta take off." Alex said giving Ray a hug.
"Okay, I'll see you." Ray said giving Alex a kiss.
Alex headed out of the kitchen, but then turned towards Ray.
"Ray." Alex said
"Yea?" Ray asked
"Thank you for last night." Alex replied
Ray went up to Alex and kissed him some more.
"It's me who should be thanking you." Ray said softly
Alex kissed Ray once more.
"Well, I'll talk to you in a little bit." Alex said
"Okay." Ray replied "I love you."
"I love you." Alex said "Okay, now I really have to go. Bye."
"Bye." Ray said and then Alex turned and left Ray's apartment. When Alex went outside he pushed the button for the elevator and waited. As he was waiting Jeff came out of his apartment and went over to Alex.
"Alex, we have to stop meeting like this." Jeff said with his cocky smile.
"Hello Jeff." Alex replied gritting his teeth. Alex started getting impatient looked at his watch to see how if time had slowed down since Jeff walked up to him or somthing.
"What's that?" Jeff asked pointing to Alex's watch.
"Oh, it was a gift from Ray." Alex replied
"I knew it." Jeff said with a look of disgust on his face.
"What?" Alex asked
"That's the only reason you're with him. What are you going to try and get from him next? A Rolls Royce?" Jeff snapped
"Listen, not that it's any of your bussiness, but I didn't even know Ray was rich until about a month into our relationship." Alex retorted
"Please, you couldn't tell? Gold diggers like you can always tell if someone's rich. I'm sure you noticed his expensive clothing, his Rolex, his Cornish Convertible. Don't give me that crap about not knowing he was rich, you knew all along." Jeff said
"I don't have time for this." Alex said as the elevator finally arrived.
"Mark my words Alex, that it will be a goal of mine to get you out of Ray's life. You're nothing, you can't live up to the life style that Ray and I lead. So do yourself a favor and just get out." Jeff said
"Just when I think I can't hate you anymore, you do something like this that makes me realize I was wrong." Alex replied with a slight smile, almost amused at how low Jeff can go.
The elevator then closed on Jeff, leaving him standing there with pure hatred.
"You're going down Alex. I'll be sure of it." Jeff fumed to himself.
