"Okay, I see the embarrassment factor here, but you were both willing
partners it sounds like so what caused the tears…were you feeling
guilty about Leo?"

"Guilty yes, not Leo…I felt so guilty for using her like I did. I
mean…you don’t know what I did."

"She didn’t have to agree, but she did. Where is that your
responsibility?" Liza asks confused.

"No, I used her Liza. I…I took a woman who was offering me comfort…a
partner and…oh Liza I made it seem like it meant nothing and told her
it could never happen again. You should have seen the look of pain
on her face when she heard what I said…I think she actually has
feelings for me, Liza and I crushed her…" Greenlee takes in a deep
shuttering breath.

"Oh my…I…damn. Greenlee, I don’t know what to say. Do you have
feelings for her? Are you sure she has feelings of more than a sexual
nature towards you?" Liza sort of tosses out quickly.

"I…I think her feelings are more than just a sexual nature…you saw
her crying yourself. I don’t know where they came from or how I….but
they are there. As for myself, I…I don’t know, Liza. I never let
myself feel those things anymore…it would hurt too much."

"Greenlee, I think you are not looking into yourself and being
truthful. I also came in here and caught you crying your eyes out at
the idea of having hurt her so deeply. I think you need to think
about what you want to do about this. You two have to work
together….my god…I knew this was just the beginning. Greenlee, I am
telling you sometimes the heart makes no sense and sometimes it is a
pain in the *****, but most of the time you have no choice but to give
into what it wants. You have to look into your heart and figure out
what that is and soon not just for the two of you, but for this
company." Liza just comes out with the hard truth.

"I don’t think I can…I can’t hurt like that again…" Greenlee shakes.

"Greenlee, you are hurting now aren’t you?" Liza stands up walking
over to Greenlee, "I am going home sweets. I think you need to
figure this out, but if you need me you know where to find me. It’s
late…go home and sleep on it." She squeezes the younger woman’s
shoulder as she walks toward the elevator.

"Thank you, Liza." Greenlee stands and picks up the rest of her
mess.

It isn’t very long and Greenlee is in a cab heading for her apartment
with too much on her mind. She doesn’t have anything on her agenda
tomorrow, but she couldn’t come into the office not with Kendall.
She cleaned the table of the evidence of their tryst, but not without
remembering every touch, taste and sound of it. She parks her car,
goes to her apartment and without so much as turning on a light
undresses for bed. Quietly, she slips under the covers and lays
there awake.

`I’m sorry I hurt you, Kendall. It…oh *****, I don’t know if it
should have happened or not. It felt right when we were together.
I’ve turned us into Maggie and Bianca only we did something about it…
*****!’ she tosses around, `Do I have feelings for you? Obviously, I
have an attraction to you, but…I just don’t know..’ Greenlee falls
asleep mid-thought.
