I can say is that if you weren’t satisfying him sexually, I think you’d know.”
    “I’m pretty sure he’s happy with me.” I bite my lip, because there’s more.
    “Spit it out. Like, seriously. I don’t want to keep rehashing this, so get out everything right now.”
    She’s right. I know she’s right. “I know he chose me over you that day, but every other day, he chooses you. When he comes backstage after a concert, if you’re there, you get a hug first. When he walks into a C&C event, it’s you he approaches before anyone else. Even when he comes with Kace or Brett to the building, if we’re in the same room, you get a greeting before I do.”
    Her eyes go wide, and her jaw drops. “I-I never thought about it. I just always see him wrapped up in you.”
    “He gets to me eventually.”
    “Why does he do that?”
    “I wish I knew.”
    “It doesn’t mean anything. It can’t mean anything, because I know he’s in love with you.”
    “It means something—he wouldn’t do it every bloody time if it didn’t mean something.”
    I start to cry, then. I didn’t want to cry over Wayne again, but I’ve been holding this in for a very long time, and finally getting it out seems to have pushed my tears out as well. Tegan’s arms go around me, and she holds me tight as I sob into her shoulder. It’s several minutes before I can finally compose myself enough to step back.
    “Thank you.”
    “Always, Jen. You call me or come to me any time you need me. As long as I’m not having sex with my husband, or one of my kids needs me at the same time, I’m yours,” she tells me with a smile.
    “I don’t deserve that after I’ve been so bitchy to you.”
    “I haven’t exactly been pleasant to you at all times, so let’s just call it even, and walk out of here being okay with each other.”
    “Deal.”

    W ayne
    I’m hanging out by the pool with Joel Cruz and Dylan Gallagher, when I see Jenysis and Tegan come out of one of the cabanas. Jeny is wiping her eyes, while Tegan looks like she doesn’t have a care in the world. What the fuck?
    When Jenysis goes inside, and Tegan hangs back, I jump out of my seat and storm over to her. “What was that? Why was she crying?”
    “Oh my God. She’s right.” Tegan says, shaking her head, and ignoring my questions.
    “Right about what?”
    “Why didn’t you go after her, and ask her what’s wrong?”
    “I’m asking you.”
    “Do you even know that you do it? Come to me before her all the time?”
    “What are you even talking about?” I know exactly what she’s talking about, but I don’t want to tell her.
    “She’s upset because she still thinks she’s second best. She said you always approach me first everywhere. I never thought about it before, but she’s right. And then, you just did it now.”
    Okay, well, apparently she’s not going to let it go. It’s Tegan, so I should already know that. “Fine. I do it, and yes, it’s intentional. I just…I just know that you’ll always welcome me with open arms. For so long, she kept me at bay, acting like we were just fuck buddies. I didn’t want to go to her first, and have her push me away. Not in front of everyone.”
    “Oh, Wayne, she wouldn’t have done that. Has she ever done that?”
    “No. Even when she was fighting me mentally, she never denied me physically—in public or in private.”
    “From now on, I’m going to deny you if you come to me first.”
    That won’t be a problem. “I’m not going to ever come to you first again.”
    “Good. Now go kiss the hell out of your woman. Preferably in front of Alesha.”
    “I think I will do just that.”
    I kiss her on the top of the head, and go look for Jenysis. I find her sitting in the family room, hanging out on one of the couches with Tegan’s son, Ethan. He’s a cool kid, and has a wicked crush on her, which I don’t blame him for one bit. I have a crush on her, too.
    I curb the urge to kiss her, because that wouldn’t
