“I sure didn’t,” I said, looking at him.“Are you going to try Gabriella again?”
“No.”He shrugged.“What’s the point?I mean, if Valentina hates you and Gabriella hates me, it’s unlikely she’ll give me a chance to apologize or make things right.”
“I’m sorry, bro.”
“No, it’s okay.We didn’t know that we would develop feelings for these two women, and they’re better off without the likes of us.They need real professional gentlemen who can treat them right and spoil them.”

“True,” I said, and we all grinned at each other.
Two women were standing there staring at us, giggling, and my brothers and I just shook our heads.
“We can’t help it if they want us,” I said, throwing my head back and laughing, faking a bravado I didn’t have at that moment.But I didn’t want to bring my brothers down.I didn’t want them to feel bad about anything.And I certainly didn’t want them to pay for my mistakes.
I fucked up with Valentina, and I was going to let her know.I needed to have one last conversation with her so she knew I had real feelings for her, and my jealousy was what had caused me to be rude and abrupt at the park.It wasn’t an excuse, but I just wanted her to understand.She and I had had the real thing, and I never wanted her to doubt that.
