You never know who you will run into.

He was a man she had dated years before in Texas. He looked different now, new haircut, he had a beard, but she knew him as soon as she saw him, and he recognized her as well. "Vixxen?" He asked when she straddled him.

It had been two years.

She got close to him, grinding on him as she looked at him. They had gotten along very well before. They hadn't had a fight or anything, Mason just kind of vanished from her life when the housing crash happened.

"Where did you go"" Vixxen whispered in his ear as she ground on him. "I missed you Mason."

Mason stared into her eyes, the only man around them not watching her naked body. "Let's talk later Vixxen," Mason whispered, "I did not think I would see you again."

Vixxen was one of three dancers working this party, but she now felt some embarrassment working in front of Mason. Seeing him watch as men touched her in very intimate ways.

She let the men do what she normally let men do, which included groping her body and sucking her tits, but it went no further.

And while Mason spent a lot of time watching her, she avoided eye contact when she was with the other men.

She did her job and made her money, but she was more tender with Mason. She had really liked him, her mind was racing, where had he gone?

When the party wound down Mason asked for her number, and called it to add it as a contact. He heard her phone ring, and smiled knowing she had not given a fake number.

They met the next day for lunch at a very nice casino restaurant. Mason was amazed, it was as if Vixxen had not aged in the years since they had lost contact. She was as beautiful as she ever had been. It had been over two years, but Mason had never forgotten her.

He was now thirty nine and she was now twenty two, he had changed, but she looked almost the same as before, perhaps with a better body.

"What happened Mason?" Vixxen asked over an egg white omelette, "I thought we had a good thing?"

"We did Vixxen, and I promise I was never able to forget you." Mason said, looking sad. "When the housing market crashed, I lost a lot."

"Tell me about it, I lost three houses." Vixxen replied.

Mason reached out and held her hands, "I know Vixxen, I am sorry, I knew it would happen. It was too late." Vixxen looked at him, a little bit of anger in her eyes.

"You knew? How could you know?" Vixxen asked Mason, "You didn't tell me!"

Mason took a breath and studied himself.

“I told you to sell, I did try. Everyone was going to lose their homes it seemed, I ended up selling mine." Mason said in a flat tone. "The firm I worked for closed, the stock market tanked after the housing market. People lost billions."

Mason continued, "When it started to fall apart I spent all of my time working, all of it, trying to find a way out. When my firm closed I took a job in New York, and I moved there the same day I got the job. I didn't forget about you, but I was trying not to lose everything. It was just a terrible time to do what I do."
