Kayla had only had two real relationships in her life, okay let's be honest one and she wasn't even sure that was the real thing. It had been over seven years ago. She had always focused on her career, she was what they called a workaholic, her best friends India and Traci would tell her she was sexually deprived, that she needed to started living before she woke up one morning and life had passed her bye. However, never in her right mind did she think she would be in a predicament like this, it was totally out of her character to let something like this happen, and to let it happen like this. It was overwhelming more like surreal an impulsive act, or so she thought. Could it have been a calculating move on his part or was it just something that happened to happen. But if they both were completely honest with themselves it had been building ever since that faithful snowy morning.
