Frustrated by the fact he was leaving but also turned on by his order, I hurriedly grabbed what I needed and went into the bathroom.
Maybe he was right to walk away, though. We were in New York to find his sister’s killer, not to check off my sexual fantasy list. Enzo going down on me had been on the list, but I’d never pictured it happening in that hotter-than-sin way.
I unceremoniously dropped my things onto the vanity and combed my wild hair. I was a mess. On the inside and out, so it would seem.
Once I managed to tame my wet hair, I wrangled it into a side braid so I wouldn’t have to dry it and slipped on the bra and modest but slightly sexy red wrap dress.
I finally unlocked the phone, and all of Natalia’s messages were still unread, which meant Enzo had only seen the notifications and hadn’t invaded my privacy.
Natalia: I’ve called five times. No answer. I’m worried.
Natalia: Okay, Enzo’s not answering his phone either. Do I need to call Constantine?
Great, if she called Constantine and then he tried to get ahold of his brother, why’d I get the feeling he’d send the cavalry?
Me: Sorry. I was distracted.
Natalia: Oh, thank God. I was two seconds away from phoning every Costa I know.
Me: We had to stop at Enzo’s, and I left my phone in the car, and his wound up getting wet.
Natalia: How’d that happen?
Me: His pool.
Surely my sister had been to his place before when she lived in New York, but she’d never told me how crazy-over-the-top his home was.
Natalia: ???
Me: We fell in.
Natalia: ???
Me: It’s a long story.
Natalia: So, give me the bullet points.
Me: Well, Enzo kissed me six years ago at that bar. And then he got me off with his hand twice this past week. I saw him naked last night. And then we kissed for the first time in six years this morning. Somehow, we fell into his pool today. And well, you know, stuff happened after that. See, long story.
Natalia: I knew something happened back then. I can’t believe you just breezed past that in a bullet point. Can you call me?!
Me: I have to go. Can you just trust that I’m okay? We didn’t “go all the way” ... Almost. And my head is a bit all over the place. Only ever been with Thomas. But Enzo is, well, a whole other level of everything. I don’t know how to explain it.
Natalia: But are you okay?
Me: I mean, I think so.
Natalia: Liar.
Me: I’m ... I don’t know what I am. Confused. Worried. Scared. In over my head.
Natalia: I’m gonna kick his ass.
Me: It’s not his fault. I pushed and pushed. He was trying to behave. I’m stubborn.
Natalia: So, what you’re saying is his control finally snapped? I guess I can relate. I kind of made Ryan crazy back in the day, too. You sure you can’t talk? I want to be there for you.
Me: I’ll call tonight, okay? We’re heading to his parents’ house and staying there all week. Should be ... interesting.
