“I can’t imagine what you have to add to this horrible situation. Tina sends her minions to do her dirty work. She’s a bigger bitch than I ever imagined. Come in. It’s not your fault and they say — don’t kill the messenger.”
“First, let’s clear something up. I’m not one of Tina Dorsette’s minions. I was her friend for years and I stress was.”
“Wine?” Jackie offered and poured her a glass.
“Can I call you Jackie?”
“Sure and make yourself comfortable.”
“Beau wasn’t completely innocent of flirting with Tina when the evening started. He was tipsy and she is — well you know.”
“Tina’s attractive, I’ll give her that but nothing more,” Jackie, joked.
“Beyond the first hour, it was all Tina. She asked me to leave so she could get your husband drunk and seduce him. She managed to get him very drunk and she told him she would help him get to his room. She practically had to carry Beau out of the lounge.”
“What happened after that Sasha? I’m the co-owner of the resort and the employees tell me everything. I made some calls and the room was a mess.”
“That’s classic Tina. Beau passed out so she made it look like they had an epic time. He assumed they had sex and she didn’t tell him otherwise. She took the poor guy’s clothes off and got nude herself. When I saw Beau look at you tonight and the way he was with JB, I knew something had to be done. I’m so sorry if I contributed to the way that Tina acted.”
“I don’t blame you Sasha. You were used and now you know better. It’s not all fun and games. Tina’s hurting real people and I’m not just thinking of me but JB. I’m still pissed as hell at Beau but this is something we can work through. He’s gonna have to work his butt off to make it up to me. What about Tina? How can we make her feel the pain?”
“I was thinking of that on the way over here. Tina relies on people to take care of her. It all started with her career because as a successful model your hair and make-up are done and clothes are purchased for you. When a model retires she still expects others to foot the expensive bill.”
“How do we get other’s to stop paying her expenses?”
“It helps that Savage Enterprises owns nearly every condo she lives in.” Sasha smiled.
“I’m sure as hell not paying her bills any longer. I bet we own most of the entities that she relies on. This is a good start Sasha. Are you going to be OK without her shirttails to ride on?”
“I’ll be able to sleep well and that’s good enough for me. I’m 26 and not too old to go back to school.”
“Let me know if I can help you with anything. I can write you a letter of recommendation that speaks to your honesty and trustworthiness.”
“Jackie was at the breakfast table when Beau woke up at 6am. She was mad but certain that their love was stronger than Beau’s stupidity.
“Good morning Jackie. Thank you for coming back. I didn’t sleep a wink last night but I didn’t deserve a sound sleep. How’s JB?”
“He’s good. He and Eve are spending the morning at the stables. He asked for you first thing this morning and he slept with his cowboy hat on.”
“I’m so embarrassed Jackie. My grandfather had a reputation as a ladies man but he was married twice and he never cheated on his wives. I want my son to look up to me and I go out and act like a 20 year old at 42.”
“Is it out of your system? It had better be because I’m not waiting around while you sample the merchandise.”
“It’s totally out of my system. No more hamburger when I have filet mignon. I made an ass out of myself to the staff at the resort and in front of my friends. Jono called to tell be what a jerk I was. He say’s he’ll take you and treat you like a goddess if I won’t.”
“No offense to Jono but he’s not my type. I should let you go on believing that you slept with Tina but I’m not sinking to her level. She set you up Beau.”
Beau looked more pissed than Jackie had ever seen him. “I’ll kill the bitch”
“Relax. She’s mine.”
“Are you moving back?” Beau asked,
Jackie nodded her head and smiled. “My bag is in the car.”
Jackie stood up and yawned.
“Looks like you could use some extra sleep. I want to go back to bed Beau but I won’t want to sleep. I want you to do to me what you thought you did to Tina.”
