I’m thinking maybe the people we were in a meeting with on Friday morning.
“I doubt. They went separate ways.”
Okay. I’ve heard enough.
“Good for him,” I say in a dull voice.
The nuance registers with her.
“What’s bothering you?”
“Nothing. I mean… I wish I knew he was there. I would’ve come too,” I lie.
“Girl, you don’t need him to go out. Call me next time. All right?”
“Sure.”
“Okay. I’ll let you go now. Have a nice time,” she says.
I set the phone on the bed and stare at it, unable to move.
What is it with Kai?
Maybe there’s nothing wrong with him. Maybe everything is fine with him.
It’s just that things no longer work for us.
They weren’t supposed to work. This was never about them working. It was about not having to think about them, to begin with. And now I’m thinking about them a lot.
I’m thinking about him a lot, and I don’t like it. He is like a plier that’s slowly squeezing around my neck.
I drop my dress on the bed and go back to my suitcase. I opt for a pair of pink satin panties and skip the bra. The turquoise dress has a deep cleavage that doesn’t go well with a bra.
Luckily, the jersey fabric has a little stretch and molds to me, hugging my breasts, my hips, and my arms. The skirt is short, and my chest is partially on display.
All and all, it looks hot.
That’s what I’m aiming for.
If my red dress was a tease, and my black dress was a dangerous promise, this little number is an open declaration of war. I wage war against, um… I don’t know who exactly.
It could also be considered a desperate cry for attention, although that’s not what it is.
I don’t need attention. I already have their attention. Maybe a little too much of it.
I need more control.
I want to be able to sail at my own pace for a while instead of getting caught in a power struggle with them.
This time I’ll let things unfold. At least, that’s the plan.
I put my heels on and stop in front of the mirror. If Isla thought I was one of those ‘paid people’ last night, she should see me now.
My phone rings, and it’s suddenly too loud, startling me. I must’ve turned the volume up by mistake. I scoop it up from the bed and turn the volume down, gawking at the name plastered across the screen.
“Yes?” I answer, my breath stuck in my throat.
“Hey…” Kai says.
