Chapter Seventeen

Nina stormed out of the room. She didn’t appreciate being told how to behave and, in particular, that she was naive, by someone seven years her junior. Just who did Dominic think he was? And she’d made such an effort to help him that morning, when she could have been outside having fun.

She reached the kitchen and flung her plate into the sink, where it made a satisfying crash. She’d been working all week and had been pushed into helping Dominic against her will. Well, not quite against her will, but he should have remembered that it was out of the goodness of her heart that she’d offered to help him in her free time. Well, she was going out now and she was jolly well going to enjoy herself. This was the weekend, after all.

She left the kitchen and ran up the stairs to her bedroom where she searched through her drawers for her denim shorts and her favourite lime-green T-shirt.

Minutes later, she tied her hair back into a casual ponytail and slipped her feet into a pair of silver sandals. She was ready to hit the beach. For a moment, she wondered if she’d made the right decision in going to the beach with Alex. Hadn’t she just promised herself that she wasn’t going to jeopardise her position at the mill by getting involved with either of the brothers?

She shook her head. A trip to the beach was just a trip to the beach and Dominic was wrong to make anything more of it than that. Alex was no more than a friend, although she had to admit that she found him attractive. Still, even if she was looking to leap into another relationship, it wouldn’t be with somebody like Alex. But she was quite determined to enjoy his company today. She only hoped that he didn’t expect any more from her than friendship.

Who needed Malibu or Bondi Beach when the sun was shining down on the north Norfolk coast? It had been years since Nina had ventured out that way. Janey used to pester her father to take them there in the summer holidays when they were teenagers, but now that Janey had a regular dose of the Med via her father’s company, Gulliver’s Travels, she’d forgotten all about the beauty that lay on her own doorstep.

Alex parked the car in a grassy enclosed car park and reached behind his seat, producing a battered bottle of sun cream.

‘How many ladies’ limbs have been covered in that?’ Nina asked with a wry smile, not really wanting to know the answer.

‘Pardon?’

‘Nothing,’ Nina shook her head, wishing she hadn’t said anything.

‘No – what did you say? Has Dom being saying something?’ Nina tried to avoid looking at Alex, but it was virtually impossible. ‘If he’s been colouring me black, I think I’ve a right to know.’

Nina bit her lip. If she didn’t tell him, he’d probably start tickling her again, and she didn’t want that. No, she really didn’t want that, she told herself.
