He leaves me standing on the stoop, breathless and confused.
With a click, the door unlocks. I grab the handle to keep it from closing.
I give him one more chance to say he’s kidding. To say he’s coming in. To say he’s mine.
I begin the countdown in my head: five, four, three, two…
“Goodnight, Elsa.”
I don’t bother to respond. I turn around, open the door, and head up the stairs to my apartment.
Alone.

From Brawls to Romance: Are the Lingerie Lovers reunited or is it all for show?
By Lis Langley
New York—From a night of petty, backhanded insults to a flowery, romantic night under the stars—are the Lingerie Lovers back? A
pparently, they are, as the feuding lovers, Elsa Blakely and Tanner Sharpe have been caught in another steamy, yet compromising position last night.
No less than a few day ago, we saw them tear each other apart on-stage and in a viral video seen across the world. But now, we see them necking in the woods, enjoying more than a few heated exchanges.
From verbal throw-downs to Central Park rendezvous, these lovers always know how to keep us entertained and wanting more.
The rumors in the lingerie world and in the gossip magazines claim that the two CEOs and ex-lovers were never exes at all or at least, they’ve recently rekindled their love. After last night, I can confirm that the latter is true.
Sitting by a lavish display of white and pink roses, on top of one of the most exclusive five-star restaurants New York City has to offer, I found the two lovebirds, enjoying a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, less than a breath apart.
Though I still have some speculations as to the authenticity of this blossoming relationship, I’ve always been an advocate for the duo. However, the timing does seem quite peculiar, doesn’t it?
After the Fashion Week throw-down, with Sharpe dominating the fight with his deceptive move in poaching Blakely’s models, both of their companies’ stocks took a devastating hit. Their shareholders and executive board members saw the rapid decline in sales, all of which was directly in response to the now famed feud—the Lovers’ Brawl.
One could suggest that this new relationship, which is quite an ostentatious show of love and romance, is yet another publicity stunt—especially given their overt display of affection, a type of interaction we haven’t seen since their rumored break-up.
Going from hate to love, in less than a few days, raises some red flags. It’s been claimed that such a thing happens more often than not, but this reporter is skeptical.
How can such a heated feud evolve into a loving relationship overnight? Unless...it’s being forced on them. Is this the work of their executive board, shipping the two together for the sake of both their companies? Or is this truly a revival of the Lingerie Lovers?
Such accusations don’t form without evidence. It currently looks like stock prices for both companies have settled, and investors have slowly trickled back in, eagerly anticipating what will happen next for the loving duo. If these allegations are true, the executive board match-making skills have been successful.
Nevertheless, since they broke-up—if that is what they did—the tension between them has been detectable. One would have to be blind not to notice the effect they still have on each other, with constant shade being thrown either way.
Like we’ve seen, it’s become so intense that they’ve exploded on each other in front of the whole world. And they continue to do so in less televised—though still passionate—displays and in public places.
The once fiery duo always had a knack for keeping us on our toes, and we continue to be just as captivated for what’s to come in their love story. But in truth, what could be a lovers’ dispute could also be a fabricated love story.
If it does happen to be honest, do we want them to come together as one—again—and become the Dirty Little Vixens or the Pretty Little Angels? Or should they continue to be separate competing companies?
Vixens and Angels, just like love and hate, are opposite sides of the same coin after all.
Only time will tell for these CEOs.
And as always, Lis Langley will continue to bring you, my dear readers, updates on how the lingerie will fall between these lovers.
