points a thumb over at Quinn. “This is Q, my…” She looks at her left hand.
    I notice a small square diamond on her ring finger. “Looks like congratulations are in order.” I say rather stiffly, but try to offer a smile anyway.
    Quinn comes over. “Hey, I’m Quinn, Oakley’s fiancé. It’s nice to finally meet you, Kane. Thanks for keeping my lady here company while I was away.” He sticks out his hand for me to shake.
    I just stare at Oakley… His fiancée? I reluctantly take his hand.
    Like he does to all of the beautiful girls we meet at functions like this, CJ starts to explain about the business. “Yes, we run a small production company—”
    “She’s not interested in our company,” I tell him, not taking my eyes off Oakley, his fiancée.
    Oakley avoids looking at me. In fact, she has her eyes completely closed and she’s taking deep breaths. I could be mistaken, but she doesn’t seem that happy.
    “Congratulations, Oakley, I’m sure the two of you will be very happy together,” I say.
    Their engagement is a good thing. I’m so glad I didn’t give into temptation last night because what a fucking mess this would all be right now if I had. Fate intervened at the right time and it’s telling me once again, ‘You can’t have her, buddy. I was just fucking around with you.’ Yeah, that asshole, fate, is laughing its ugly head off right now.
    “Thanks, Kane, I’ll be needing you to watch out for her a while longer, man. I’ll be in training for another three months before I can come back for her.” Quinn loops his arm around Oakley’s shoulder, pulling her over and giving her a kiss on her temple.
    Me? He can’t tell how much I want Oakley for myself, and only by sheer will power have I not acted on it. I need to get away. “Yeah, well, I guess we better let you guys get ready for Oakley’s set. We need to go around and talk to a few of the wannabe models, gotta find some new talent.”
    Oakley lifts her eyes. “Is that your code word for finding a piece of ass, Kane?”
    I don’t see the normal amusement in her eyes. In fact, she looks hurt. I search her eyes, but I’m not seeing any happiness. Don’t chicks freak the fuck out when they get engaged?
    “We may find a little of that, too.” CJ says, offering me a fist bump.
    “Don’t let us keep you then,” I say, giving CJ a halfhearted bump.
    Oakley says to Quinn, “Q, will you help me get my stuff back stage?”
    “Knock ‘em dead, Oak.” I tell her.
    Quinn picks up her guitar and lifts his chin to us, “See ya, dudes.”
    “Good to meet you two,” CJ calls out while they walk away.
    Quinn throws his hand up in reply but Oakley doesn’t look back.
    “Fuck, man, tell me that by taking care of her, it means you’ve been hitting that ass.”
    “She’s like my little sister. If you don’t want me to beat the shit out of you here and now then you better just shut the fuck up.” I’m not in the mood for him. I’m ready to get the fuck out of here.
    “Geez, man, ease up. Come on let’s find a new girl to replace Gretchen.”
    I let out a deep breath and give my head a little shake. “Yeah, let’s go, I need to be focusing on the reason we’re here, the business, but it would be really great if I can also find some chick that I can fuck the shit out of tonight.”
    “That’s what I’m talking about. I saw some pussy over there that we need to check out.” CJ points over to a strawberry blonde girl with huge tits.
    “She would be good for tit fucking; she’s definitely bangable.” I need to get my dick wet and forget about everything for a while.
    “Alright then, turn on the charm and let’s do this shit.”

    Oakley
    The Next Day
     
    Going to the ROTC center to watch Quinn get sworn into the Air Force upsets me more than it should have. I told him I would think about his proposal while he is away, but I still don’t think he is going to like my answer. But, now that he’s leaving, why is it
