went deeper, an image of Sinclair, dripping wet in the shower, consumed me. I imagined it was her hands touching me, her mouth drawing me in, and I exploded.
“Wow,” smiled Sela, sitting up. “That was quick. I guess you missed me last night.”
“I guess,” I answered, closing my eyes again.
When I was able to catch my bearings, I opened my eyes and studied Sela. The scene with Jack in the library really fucking disturbed me. I would have hoped that I could trust her – she was my fiancée. But the guilt in Jack’s eyes kept haunting me. Sela had already hidden the drugs from me; what else was she really capable of?
“Tell me something, do you love me?” I asked.
She frowned. “Do I love you? What kind of question is that?”
“A pretty easy one. Do you, Sela?”
She stood up, walked over to the mirror, and ran her fingers through her hair. “You make me happy. Isn’t that enough?”
“I make you happy? It doesn’t seem 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, you’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. Lay 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 her,” I answered honestly. Sinclair definitely wasn’t his type. Not by a long shot.
Pleased with that answer, Sela nodded and left the room.

I woke up around nine o’clock and noticed that the water was now working 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.”
