“Sort of. I don’t know. Drew is —” I sighed. “He’s the type of guy who I could see totally falling head over heels for.”
Kristen gave me a small smile. “It looks to me like you already have.”
“No.” I held up my finger. “I’m in search of me, nobody else.”
“Maybe you found yourself already when you sat next to him on the plane. The world works in mysterious ways, Jill. Of all the hotels in Hawaii, he stayed at the same one you did. Plus, he broke up with his girlfriend.”
“I see Kellan filled you in on every little detail.” I smiled. “I was going to tell you everything when I came here. I didn’t want to burden you with my problems when you’re going through so much already.”
“But your problems are my problems, dear sister. Without your dysfunctional life, I’d be bored to death.” She smiled.
I couldn’t help but laugh. “You look tired.” I pouted.
“I am. I hate that I feel like I need to go take a nap when you just got here.”
“Go take a nap, and when you wake up, we’ll go to Central Park and sit under a big tree for some sisterly bonding time. In the meanwhile, I think I’ll take a shower and change. I feel gross from the plane ride.”
As the hot water streamed down my back, I couldn’t stop thinking about Drew, and I wondered what he was doing and if he had heard from Jess. She didn’t seem like the type of woman to go away quietly. Running my hands down my body, I swore I could still feel his tender touch. He was a God in the bedroom, and I’d never had so many orgasms in such a short period of time in my life. I needed to put him to rest in the depths of my mind. I was living a single, free life now, and nothing or no one would get in the way of that. My focus was solely on me and, of course, my sister. She needed me. The only family she had left was Noah, her boyfriend of five years, and me.
Stepping out of the shower and wrapping a towel around me, I sat on the edge of the bed and dialed Kellan.
“Hello, Jilly Bean.”
“Hey, Kel. I finally made it to New York.”
“How’s Kristen doing?”
“She’s okay. She’s napping right now. I’m taking her to Central Park for a while when she wakes up. Any news on the home front?”
“I saw your mom yesterday, and she gave me the evil eye.” He laughed. “Then she had the nerve to come over and try to talk to me.”
“What did she say?”
“Just asked if I heard from you yet and that she can’t believe you would do what you did. She said poor Grant was so broken up and that the wedding that didn’t happen was all the talk of the yacht club. She said she had to leave because of the embarrassment.”
“Haha. Good.”
“I told her that I saw Grant with some sleazy-looking chick the other night, and he didn’t look too broken up to me. She just huffed and said goodbye.”
“Good for you. Thank you.”
“Anything for you, babe. Hey, how about if I come to New York next weekend for a visit?”
“Ah. I would love that, and so would Kristen and Noah.”
“Are you going to get your own apartment there?”
“I was thinking about it, but I don’t want to get stuck in a lease for a year. I may not be here that long.”
“True. I’m sure you can find something with a six-month lease, or hell, buy a place. It’s not like you can’t afford it. Then when you leave, rent it out, and it becomes an investment.”
“I might just do that.”
“Hey, how are you doing after your little romp with plane guy?”
“I’m okay.”
“Jilly, that wasn’t very convincing. Are you still thinking about him?”
