Beth POV
Its been a week since the incident in my office,
Rio's been giving me the cold shoulder which is nothing that I don't expect from him.

I lean back in my chair staring at the wall where he comforted me.
I hear a knock at my door.
"Come in!" I yell. "Don't gotta yell." Rio says as he opens the door. "Sorry, Need something?" I ask. "Just wanted to say good job, sells been booming since the grand opening." He tells me.
"Thank you." I say. He sits in the chair in front of my desk.
I roll my chair further from my desk. "What are you doing?" I ask in confusion. "How's things going at home?" He asks. "Fine." It's unusual for him to ask personal questions since we're just "business partners."  "What are you doing?" I ask him. "Things at home can affect work, just checking in." He says. "You just said I was doing good." I say in with hurt in my voice. "You are. You're doing good. Just wondering if that dumbass husband of yours is still treating bad." He says. "Why do you care?" I ask rolling my eyes. "Cause you deserve better then that, mama." He says. "No I don't." I sigh. "I'm a horrible person and I would cheat on me too,"  I say "Can we please not talk about this?" I say in a low voice. He stands up and walks behind my desk to my chair, I stand up so our faces are close. "Elizabeth." He says as he tucks my hair behind my ear. I don't break eye contact. He leans in. I back away. "I can't." I say softly. "Why not?" He says trying to hide his  hurt expression. "I can't be hurt again, you have no idea how much you hurt me." I say looking down. "You blew me off, told me I was just work. Look I married my first boyfriend before you Dean was the only person I had ever been intimate with, then you kidnapped me and put a gun in my hand the-" he cuts me off. "That was before." He says. "I can't go through that again. I won't do that to myself." I say, he puts his finger on my chin and lifts my head up so I'd look at him. "I won't hurt you again, Elizabeth." He says "Then kiss me." I say looking into his eyes, his smiles and cups my face, our lips crashing into each other. "I missed you." I say in between kisses. "Missed you too." He replies
