like it.”
Our eyes met in the mirror’s reflection . “Well, you do, Reed,” she turned around smiled. “Very. That’s why we’re perfect for each other. Happiness and amazing sex.”
“But not love?”
She waved her hand. “Oh, come on, only fools believe in love,” she said. “As far as I’m concerned, people confuse lust with love. Love is a fantasy, not a reality.”
“So, what you’re really saying is that you’re not in love with me?”
She laughed. “Reed, admit it, y ou’re not in love with me, either! But, you have to admit, we are good together.”
She was right. I guess I wasn’t really in love with her. The sex was good and we had fun together. Definite chemistry, but was that enough to spend the rest of my life with someone? It obviously worked for Jack, but he was an asshole.
I got out of bed. “I’m going to take a shower.”
She smiled coyly. “Would you like me to join you?”
“ No time. Have too much to do this morning,” I said, heading towards the bathroom.
“What am I supposed to do?” she pouted.
I glanced back at her. “Relax for a change. L ay out by the pool or go for a swim at the beach.”
She raised her eyebrows. “Alone?”
I shrugged. “Maybe Sinclair will join you after she cuts my hair.”
Sela scowled. “I don’t like her.”
“Why?”
She raised her chin. “I just don’t.”
I sighed. “Well, then I guess you’re on your own, until this afternoon.”
“Fine,” she said, “but after you’re finished with everything, you owe me.”
“You’ll have my full attention, I promise.”
She pulled her robe in tighter and walked towards the door. “I can’t believe you’re letting that girl touch your hair.”
“ I’m sure she’ll do a good job.”
Staring at me intently, she asked, “I wonder what your brother sees in her?”
Sinclair?
She was beautiful, witty, and sexier than hell. In fact, even now I was having a problem getting her out of my mind. But Jesse, what did my brother see in her?
“I don’t know what he sees in he r,” I answered, honestly. Sinclair definitely wasn’t his type. Not by a long shot.
Pleas ed with that answer, Sela nodded and left the room.

I woke up around nine o’clock and noticed that the water was now working in the fine in the shower.
“Of course,” I grumbled out loud.
I took a quick one and then slipped on a pair of white shorts and a bright, coral tank-top. As I was putting my hair up into a ponytail, there was a knock on my door.
“Hey girlfriend,” smiled Jesse, under his favorite Maui Jim sunglasses.
“Hey sunshine,” I said, staring at his hot pink polo shirt and white chinos.
“Hungry?” asked Jesse , pushing the glasses above his head.
“A little.”
“Let’s go downstairs. Gretchen usually has breakfast put away by now, but I bet we can scrape something up in the kitchen.”
I yawned. “What about coffee?”
“Well, that’s available all day long, silly girl.”
I slipped on a pair of strapless white sandals and followed Jesse to the kitchen, where we found Reed, reading the paper at the counter and drinking coffee.
“Hi,” he said, putting the newspaper down. “Was wondering when you guys were going to wake up.”
Jesse put his arm around my shoulders and smiled. “ Sin was feeling frisky this morning.”
Reed grinned. “Is that so?”
“Oh yeah. This girl is insatiable,” answered Jesse, turning on the coffee machine. “I’m going to be sore all day.”
I elbowed him in the ribs. “You should talk- I’m the one walking funny.”
Reed’s eyes landed on my crotch, triggering an immediate surge of heat. He looked away, quickly, and grabbed his cup.
“ Um, so, are you ready for your haircut?” I asked.
“Yes, if you are,” he answered, finishing the last of his coffee.
“My scissors are in my suitcase. Where should we do it?”
“How about your bedroom? Maybe on the balcony?”
“Sure,” I said as
