Chapter Eleven

Chloe smiled into her morning cup of tea, nearly two weeks after their first explosive night of passion together. She was still feeling the physical effects of their lovemaking last night in the bathtub. Even now she felt herself wet with desire as she thought of the fervor they shared in each other’s arms every night.

They shared the most incredibly satisfying intimacy ever.

But she was still dealing with Calvin’s betrayal and Devon had Elissa. Chloe felt no jealousy for the woman Devon had once loved. Nana Lil had been the one to tell her about the woman and she remembered the conversation well.

Chloe’s house would be finished by the deadline, and she had asked Nana Lil to ride with her to Hilton Head Island. She wanted to stock up on linens, dishes and other necessities for the house. She had discovered that Hilton Head catered to wealthier society more so than Charleston did, and she was sure to find the top quality products she wanted. And she had. Her checking account nearly two thousand dollars smaller and her SUV filled with packages, Chloe and Nana Lil headed home late in the afternoon.

“You know, Elissa would’ve loved to be your friend,” Nana Lil said suddenly.

“Elissa?” Chloe asked as she slipped her Dolce & Gabana shades on to cut the glare of the sun through the windshield.

“She’s Devon’s ex-girlfriend,” Lil said so matter-of-factly as she used the electronic controls on the door to adjust the seat until her small thin frame was comfortable.

Chloe nearly ran off the road. Of course, Devon had had girlfriends. That was not anything to fret about. But instinctively she knew there was more to the story surrounding Elissa than any other woman Devon had dated. “Why would you say that, Nana Lil?”

“Elissa would’ve loved going with you to all those stores with those expensive things.” Nana Lil looked over at Chloe. “I mean really, Chloe, thirty dollars for one plate? I don’t care if it is rimmed in eighteen-karat gold.”

Chloe was patient with her as the older woman switched gears on her, speaking of the Ralph Lauren flatware and linens she had purchased. “Anyway, like I was saying, going to all those stores and whipping out your credits cards or checkbook and buying whatever you want without blinking an eye. And all those people recognizing you and asking for autographs and pictures. Elissa would’ve loved that because she was always putting on airs like she could and would do those things. That’s why Devon broke up with her snooty behind. You can’t take a steak-and-potatoes man and make him . . .” She turned to Chloe. “What’s that we had for lunch?”

She smiled as she drove. “Lobster caesar salad with avocado, asparagus, basil croutons and lobster coral dressing.”

“Well that.” Lil sniffed. “Do you know I overheard him tell Shawnie that she wouldn’t even let him kiss her after she put on her makeup, and that she always had to be on top so that her hair wouldn’t get messed up.
