Page 24 of When I Was His

“He’s married to his business right now anyway; I doubt he has time for women.”

“I bet he gets plenty to share his bed.”

I narrowed my eyes. “Gross. I don’t want to think about my brother sleeping with women.”

“What about sleeping with me?” Sadie asked.

I put my fingers in my ears and started to sing a song. Sadie loved to push the envelope when it came to sex. She started tickling me, and I had to take my fingers out of my ears to push her hands away.

“So what time is this brunch?”

“11 am at The Wyatt. They serve champagne brunch buffet.”

I arranged my pillows against the headboard and leaned back. Sadie averted her gaze because she knew I might chastise her.

I raised my eyebrows. “The Wyatt? That place is expensive. How much does Dan make?”

“His parents have money. They own a few restaurants and car dealerships in New Jersey.”

I frowned but didn’t comment about money. I know Sadie wanted a better life than she had growing up. She didn’t have what I did, but her parents loved her and tried to give her whatever they could afford.

“Does he drive a new car?”

“It makes no sense to drive in the city, you know that. He told me he has a BMW at his parent’s home.”

I heard Ty grumble and we both looked out the bedroom door to see him repositioning himself, so he was stretched out on the couch. We left him alone and let him sleep. I felt sorry for him with his schedule. I didn’t know how he did it each week.

“Ty seems happy.”

“As far as I know, he is.”

She caught my gaze, a look of knowing. “He would probably be happier if he could date you.”

“How would you know?” I asked.

“Because he loves you.”

“He has a crush on me. He doesn’t love me.”

I knew that wasn’t true because he did love me, and he was in love with me. But his love was unrequited. I would never feel anything more than sisterly love for Ty as much as he wanted it to be different.

“Keep telling yourself that. You never told me if you found any of the guys interesting at your office. Anyone you could see dating?”

“Not really. I don’t know many people.”

“Have you seen Oliver Fox?”

I thought back to my disappointment when I didn’t see him all week. I think I had a case of puppy love or infatuation, but nothing would ever happen between us.

“Yesterday, when I was coming out of the building. He was getting in his car.”

“Wouldn’t it be crazy if he asked you out?”

I could see the wheels turning in her head. You would think she had a chance to date Oliver Fox.

I scowled. “Are you nuts? What would he want with me?”

She nudged my leg. “Why wouldn’t he want you? You’re young, smart, and beautiful.”
