Falling for Lucas had never been part of the plan.
Okay, not that I’d really had a plan for the vacation other than enjoying myself but enjoying Lucas...that hadn’t been in the cards.
I’d seen how he worked, how he’d gone through women. I wasn’t the type that wanted a fling. Not that I really wanted a relationship, either—I was happy on my own, but I didn’t want to ruin what we had. We were good as friends. It worked, we worked...there was no need to rock the boat.
I would have slammed the door if I could have.
I went into the bathroom, keeping the lights off, and sat on the edge of the tub, the robe wrapped around me, sticking to my skin in places as a chill started to seep through my body.
Great. Now I was in shock.
Almost having sex with my best friend had been such the wrong thing to do, I was going into shock.
I put my head in my hands, took a couple of deep breaths.
I wasn’t Dominique.
I wasn’t even one of the women he went through.
I was the one he kept around.
That was probably telling enough. Up until tonight, he’d never so much as made a move. Never seemed overly flirty, never seemed to look at me too long. I’d been friend-zoned for so long that I couldn’t see a way for anything else to ever work out.
I hurried through my icy cold shower in record time, trying to erase the smell of chlorine from my skin, but even more so the lingering memory of his touch, his fingers, his lips… I wrapped a fluffy towel around myself and shut the shower door, taking a deep breath and listening to the silence of the house.
Too many jumbled thoughts in my head. I needed a voice of sanity. I went for my phone and brought up my text messages.
Marnie are you up?
I didn’t know who else to reach out to.
What’s up?
I almost typed Lucas.
I wiped a hand over my face, still wrapped in the towel. I could still feel his lips against mine, his body against mine. Up close and personal, he was...something.
Trouble, that’s what he was.
Trouble.
I almost did something stupid
You’re allowed to be stupid
Nope
What did he do?
I didn’t know I wanted to tell her the whole drawn out tale.
There’s this guide whose flirting with him all the time
Out flirt her
Can’t
You’ve waited this long for him, Abbie. Take a chance. You never know what could happen
