ce they got older, they grew apart. After a few years, they managed to find their way back to each other, and are now the best of friends. They love each other like brothers, but Chris…Jordan and Sean both spent a little time in the wild kingdom and Chris didn’t.” Kyla had a confused look on her face. “Let’s just say Sean wasn’t the only one who slipped up.”
“Oh,” Kyla smiled.
“Chris likes to remind the guys that he was able to keep himself for marriage.”
“He doesn’t like me because…”
“He thinks it’s just a matter of time before you get Sean into bed and once you’ve succeeded, he’ll be so upset with himself, that he’ll start drinking again.”
“What? How can he think so little of his friend? Me I don’t care, but Sean, doesn’t deserve to…”
“Calm down girl, someone might get the impression you’re in love.”
“You’re right, there’s a special place in heaven for Trina.” They both laughed.
“Girl, don’t give Chris a second thought.” She took another sip from her glass. “So, I hear you’re going to the Maldives.”
“Yeah, Sean got me a job with one of his clients.” Kyla’s smile was wide and she felt herself blushing. She took a long sip from her glass and looked over her shoulder at Sean.
“The Maldives is a great place for a honeymoon.”
“Stop it.”
“I’m just saying, it’s the perfect place for two people to go who haven’t you know, in a while, that want to celebrate their new life together. You can be as free as you want.” Zoë smiled. “Is it me or is it getting warm in here?”
“You are so bad.”
“I know, and if you marry Sean, we would be sisters and could shake things up in this family.”
“Well, I’m still not sure if that’s what I want.”
Zoë nodded. “I understand your apprehension, but if you don’t marry him, are you prepared to not have him in your life?”
“What do you mean?”
“Let’s say he asks you to marry him and you say no, what next?”
“I haven’t given that any thought.”
“Well, here’s something to think about. If Sean asks you to marry him and you say no, that’s the end.”
“No, we’ll still be friends.”
“Not like you were or are.”
“Why not?”
“Because, the new woman in his life won’t allow it.”
“That’s absurd.”
“Kyla, let’s be real, you’re a beautiful woman, much like me.” They laughed. “No woman is going to allow her man, her husband, to be friends with a beautiful woman, unless it’s his sister. And I don’t mean sister in Christ. No honey, your relationship will be strictly professional. And knowing my brother-in-law, he will only allow himself limited contact with you, if any.”
“Not Sean.” Kyla refused to believe what Zoë was saying.
“That’s exactly what’s going to happen. I may be off on a few points, but I know it won’t be like it is or was.” She sipped on her drink.
“So what am I supposed to do?”
