“We don’t have to go back tomorrow,” I say seriously. “To New York,” I mean.
He breathes a quiet chuckle.
“I know what you mean. I’m not worried about that. We’ll get back at some point.”
A few more minutes pass when he relaxes in his seat and gives me a side-eye glance.
“How was your night with Roman?” he asks.
I smile, amused.
“He’s a stud, but you knew that.”
We both laugh.
“He can be tough.”
“Yes, he can. And he was…”
I pause.
“Overall, it was a crazy night. And he was an interesting experience. I stupidly thought the three of you were waiting for me, and I asked him to take me home, so I didn’t run into you. Silly me. Imagine my surprise when he said you were gone. And he knew why you had left. I felt so stupid.”
“He didn’t care.”
“I’m sure he didn’t. He liked that he had me all for himself. It was fun…”
He flicks his eyes at me several times until I shift my focus to him, and we lock eyes.
“He was exactly how you described him. It took me a while to realize Kai wasn’t mad at him. He was jealous of you. Which was strange.”
He looks at me, smiling, saying nothing.
“Maybe it wasn’t,” I concede. “And then I was thinking… It would’ve been weird even with only the four of us in the room. What Kai saw on that boat would’ve happened anyway. Am I right?”
He admits, nodding softly.
We travel in silence for the next half an hour, both sunk in thought.
My eyes go to the ocean, the blue sky, the sand, and the people, while I’m suddenly longing for something.
And it’s not a place or a person but a different moment in my life.
I wish I could travel in the future, get a glimpse of my life, and learn if what Alejandro said has some truth. See if everything has panned out the way we wanted it. Meet Kai again and the new me.
“Do you think it’s possible to love three men at once…” I ask quietly as if talking to myself.
I am talking to myself, my words making him flick his eyes to me.
I study him before he moves his attention to the road.
The car slows down, and we soon enter a secondary road leading to an oceanfront property.
He doesn’t answer but looks at me again when we stop in front of the entrance. The ocean glints in the distance and the beach sprawls out in front of the house, and it’s visible through the glass walls.
“Do you think it’s possible to love a woman even if you share her with other men?” I ask, not moving my eyes away from him.
He turns off the engine. The windows are down, the breeze sweeping in.
