I shake my head. “No, and that’s the whole problem. She’s not mine.”
“Do you want her to be?”
The idea makes me feel sick, but not having her and knowing someone else might just makes it worse.
“Damn it; I don’t know. In a way, yeah. She’s great. But I don’t date. You know me. I can’t do that shit.”
Colin doesn’t answer me. He only sips his beer.
“What am I supposed to do?”
“Maybe you should talk to her.”
“About the guy?” I shake my head. “It’s none of my business. I just…don’t know what the fuck I’m feeling. Or how this happened in the first place. Damn it, I should have been over her by now.”
“Still the crush, huh?” Colin asks.
I sigh and nod. That stupid schoolboy crush I had on her while she dated Noah isn’t gone. It’s back and it’s stronger than ever.
Whoever that fucker was in the lobby doesn’t matter. What scares me is how it made me feel—that someone else got the girl I so desperately want. That I’m too late. Again.
“I can’t date her,” I repeat.
“Yeah, you keep saying that. But maybe you should just do it and see what happens.”
“I don’t date.”
“Unless you do,” he says.
“What the fuck does that mean?”
Colin shrugs.
“Are we ready to go?” Marc asks from the doorway. He’s dressed in jeans and a collared shirt. I bet he's still wearing the pink hot pants. I grin at the thought. Tom stands close to the door, also ready to leave.
“Yeah,” I say. “Let’s get this party started the right way.”
Colin downs his beer and sets? down the bottle for room service to clear up before we leave the penthouse. I don’t know what tonight is going to be like—I wanted something different. I had a whole thing planned that was all by the book and all about fun. But Marc is serious about Stacey. More serious than anything I’ve seen before.
And the part that really gets me is that in a way, I’m starting to understand.
Because I’m falling in love. And Jenna is the person I want to be with.
And that thought alone scares the living shit out of me.
