Alexis reached out and patted his face.

"Be good now," she said gently.

Calvin turned to look at her, his eyes red. He unbuckled his seatbelt, hugged her around the waist, and buried his head in her abdomen.

“Stay with me tonight," he murmured.

“Fine, but don't expect more," Alexis replied.

Calvin remained silent.

As she drove, Alexis reflected. She was Calvin's lawyer and had met him four years ago.

They had a brief, intense relationship but later realized they weren't suited for each other.

Alexis could easily let go, but Calvin got serious.

Their relationship was complicated by her role as his lawyer.

Calvin was endearing, and despite everything, Alexis did had a soft spot for him.

After dropping him off, she closed the car door.

Calvin tried to kiss her as he opened his apartment door, but Alexis stopped him.

"If you keep this up, I'll leave," she warned.

Calvin buried his face in her neck, his voice husky.

“If he hadn't come back, you would've stayed with me tonight! You still love him, don't you?" he asked.

Alexis patted his face.

"What are you thinking, Calvin?" she asked.

He didn't let her go, so she kicked him.

Calvin grunted but Alexis paid him no more attention.
