Even if they did, they won’t admit it since it would violate the ‘no commingling’ rule.
There’s also Harold and his wife Analise from Boston, who are a darling couple.
Vitas, a gorgeous Serbian man who has been giving me eyes all week is here, but I haven’t even spoken a word with him yet.
Then there’s of course my new friend Vylana, from Denmark, who I’ve discovered is a complete badass. Not only is she doing this retreat, but she’s an olympian swimmer. We’ve become better and better friends since our first encounter.
The only hiccup is I’m a little worried she’s going to make a go of it and try to kiss Jack tonight.
Which, I suppose, would be fine, considering that I told Jack very clearly that we could only be friends.
Even after we crossed the line.Again.
We all walk over together, and Jack’s personal assistant greets us at the gate of his mansion. I’m curious to know more about what Jack’s life and place is like, away from the retreat.
As we walk through the gates and up the long, winding driveway towards Jack's mansion, all of the women in the group start flirting with him.
"Jack, this place is amazing!" Kate gushes as we walk through the grand entrance of the mansion, touching his arm.
"Thanks, I'm glad you like it," Jack replies with a smile.
Analise can't seem to keep her eyes off of Jack, and I feel a twinge of jealousy. "This is such a beautiful home," she coos. "I could see myself living here someday."
Kate eyes Harold. “Better get on that get-rich quick scheme of yours,” she says, and Harold laughs a little awkwardly.
Even Vylana can't seem to resist flirting with him. "This place is incredible, Jack. You must have great taste in interior design," she says with a wink.
I try to push down the envy and remind myself that I made it clear to Jack that we could only be friends.
"Yeah, the mansion is really something," I chime in, trying to sound casual. "I can't wait to see the rest of it."
As we walk through the grand foyer, Jack points out the various artworks and antiques that decorate the walls and shelves.
He tells us about the history of each piece and how he acquired it, and I can tell he takes great pride in his collection.
But as he talks, all of the women seem more interested in flirting with him than listening to his stories.
Vylana keeps batting her eyelashes at him and touching his arm, while Kate and Analise seem to be competing for his attention.
I have to suppress a laugh as I watch them all trying so hard to win Jack over.
Finally, we make our way to the sitting room where Jack offers us all a drink.
I opt for a glass of wine, while the others seem to be going for stronger cocktails.
As we sit and chat, the flirting only intensifies.
Vylana keeps leaning in close to Jack, while Analise keeps touching his hand and laughing at everything he says.
Harold is flirting with me, asking me if I’ve had a good time so far, which gives me a weird vibe.
Even Kate, who I thought was interested in Brad, seems to be trying to get Jack's attention.
I shake my head in amusement as I watch them all vying for Jack's affections. But as the night wears on and the full moon rises higher in the sky, I start to feel a little left out.
Maybe I should have been more proactive in trying to get Jack's attention too, or not shut him down the last time he tried to kiss me.
But rules are rules, right? No hooking up at the yoga retreat. Jack looks so unbelievably attractive though.
