Taking my beer, I search for Dom, but he’s nowhere in sight. Did he really just ditch me? What happened to being each other’s wingmen?
I head toward the deck, figuring that maybe he joined the girls, when a woman approaches me.
“Hey, I know you,” she says, brushing her blonde hair off her shoulder.
“You do?” I analyze her face for any recognition but come up empty.
“Yeah, you’re the one with the billboards.” She points at me and stumbles to the side. Laughter pours out of her as a friend of hers comes over and steadies her.
“Sorry,” the woman says, holding her friend by the waist.
“It’s okay. Excuse me.” I slide by them, not in the mood to deal with a drunk girl all over me because of my billboards. I normally enjoy that, but as much as I try to stay away from Bella, I keep being drawn to her.
The women are still outside, Evie and Mae talking with the two guys while Bella is farther down the railing, all by herself, staring at the ocean with an empty glass in her hand.
I close the distance between us, always wanting what I shouldn’t.
