get your butt out of the dirt and back on the road.”
Katie’s mind snapped. “I am NOT going to Rome! I know who’s in Rome, I’m not stupid you know.” She threw her shoe at him. He ducked, but it barely missed his head. She walked over to him and pointed her finger into his chest. “Is this what it comes down to? Loyalties! Me or her, Jason. Choose.” She was so close to his face, her eyes shot metaphorical daggers at him, and he could feel the heat vibrating off her.
“Katie…” What could he say? He hadn’t planned on the words, how he would tell her. “We’re heading to Rome because your father is there.” That’s it, lie to her, Jason. That will get her moving.
“What? No he isn’t. Damiano Cardone is in Athens. I should know, since I was supposed to have a meeting with him today, remember.”
She walked over and picked up the shoe she had thrown at him and put it back on her foot after dusting off her sock.
“Well, he’s there now. I told you he wasn’t in Athens anymore.” He continued walking.
She hurried up and grabbed her bag again, jogging to catch up with him.
“I won’t see her, you know.”
“I know, Katie. I think she knows it as well.” He put his arm around her shoulder as they walked towards town.
“I don’t think I can ever see her again. How can you forgive someone who spent your whole life lying to you?”
He stopped and pulled her shoulders until she looked at him.
“She might have her own reasons for doing what she did. Until you hear her side of things, you need to try to keep an open mind.”
“I can’t, Jason. I just can’t.”
“You judged me without hearing my side of the story.”
She tilted her head in question.
“About the kiss. You had assumed that I didn’t think about you in that way, but upon hearing my side of things, I hope you understand how I feel about you now.”
He could see understanding in her eyes now and a little excitement.
“What if she doesn’t have a reason for doing what she did? What if she is just some big slut who likes to sleep around and hurt people?”
“Katie, I think you know her a little better than that. Plus, you heard they got married right?”
“Yes.” She dropped her head and started looking at their shoes. “But, that doesn’t change anything.”
“Why not? If Damiano was forgiving enough to marry her, the woman who had lied to him all this time, maybe you should be as open-minded.”
“I don’t think I can. Please,” she tried to pull away. “I don’t want to talk about this anymore.
He watched as she turned and started walking again. They walked in silence the rest of the way.
They made it into Patra just after the sun had set and stopped at the first hotel they found, where they got a small room with two large beds.
Katie stood in the shower and let the water wash away the day’s dirt and sweat. She tried not to think about their discussion earlier. Instead she chose to think about their relationship.
She’d always been jealous of Jason’s girlfriends, but one had always stood out more than the others. Kimberly had been a thorn in Katie’s side. The busty redhead had Jason wrapped around her finger for almost a year. He’d started dating her shortly after Katie had moved into the two-bedroom apartment with him. She’d been trying to help him out with rent and, to be honest with herself, she’d been hoping the close proximity would spark some interest in her.
Instead, he’d started dating Kimberly. Katie remembered the first time they’d been left alone in the room together.
“I know that you have a crush on my boyfriend.” Kimberly hadn’t even looked at her.
They’d been sitting in the living room, getting ready to watch a movie. Jason had excused himself to go make the pop-corn.
“I’m sorry?” Katie had been shocked at the girl’s
