“Uh huh. Right up on his dick,” she said, as she bit down onto her tongue.
“I hate you.”
“What are you going to do once we get back?”
“What do you mean?”
“About Kevin! It’s not like the man lives here,” she said.
“It was a fling, Morgan. Nothing else. I’ll add it to the wank bank and draw from it on a rainy day.”
“To have a wank bank, you have to wank. Often. And you don’t. If you did have one, I’m pretty sure the only thing it’s filled with is Kevin.”
I kept my mouth shut. Partially, because she was right.
The phone on my bedside table rang and Morgan sauntered out of my room. I shook my head and rolled my eyes as I reached for my phone. I swiped at it to take the call and held it to my ear.
“Hey there, Brooke.”
“Hey,” I said.
Hearing his voice made my heart skip a beat.
“I was wondering if we could get together on the beach and talk for a second.”
“I can’t. I’ve still got a lot to pack,” I said.
“Pack?”
“Yeah. Morgan and I are leaving today,” I said.
“All the more reason for me to talk with you. It’ll only take a few minutes.”
“Kevin, is everything all right?”
“Just meet me on the beach by my house. It won’t take long.”
I sighed as I looked around the room. I really didn't have a lot to pack. I didn’t bring much with me in the first place. I was hoping to write a little more, to draw from the inspiration of the clear ocean waters one last time. But part of me did want to see Kevin again.
“Sure,” I said. “I’ll head out in a few minutes.”
“Thank you. I’ll be on the beach waiting.”
There was something nice about Kevin waiting for me. Especially after all of the waiting I had done for him. I slipped my phone into my pocket and told Morgan I’d be right back, then I made my way through the sand toward Kevin’s home.
I could see the kids building a sandcastle, but they abandoned it the moment they saw me. Daniel ran up and I opened my arms to him, scooping him up as Sydney crashed into my leg. They were clinging to me and asking me if I wanted to build a castle with them, but I couldn't take my eyes off Kevin.
There was an urgency in his stare that made me uneasy.
I hugged the kids before I put them down, telling them I would be there in a second. They took off toward their sandcastle before the ocean washed it away and I walked up to Kevin. His eyes connected with mine and he had a stoic look on his face.
He was beginning to worry me.
“Is everything okay?” I asked. “You look—”
I wasn’t sure what the word was, but something was definitely amiss.
“I want to ask you something,” he said.
