Chapter Twenty-two

Lilah

I felt Jimmy watching me as I laughed with Jerome. All night, we’ve played a game of cat and mouse, catching each other stealing glances at one another, but not speaking. I’m confident that we’ll be made up by tonight.

Right now, I’m the good-time girl and fucked up enough to push everything Jimmy said earlier to the back of my mind. I miss him though, and the more I drink, the more I want him.

“Feel like going for a dip?” I ask Jerome.

His gaze meets mine, his eyes hooded. “Damn straight. We doing this with or without clothes?”

I laugh and lean forward to touch his shoulder. “Let’s start with our clothes on.”

Without waiting for him, I scream, run, and jump into the pool.

He follows me, doing a cannonball into the deep end. The minute he surfaces, he swims over to me, but I escape his grasp, playing a game of keep away, garnering the attention of everyone on the deck.

Jerome grips my wrist and tugs me back into his body. I laugh as he raises me up over his shoulder before tossing me back in. I sputter a bit as I stand and pull my hair off my face. A couple of other people jump into the pool, fully clothed, to join the fun.

My eyes seek out Jimmy sitting in a lounger. Adelaide is sitting where Tripp was moments ago. Jealousy flares so deep, I swear if you cut me open, my blood would be green.

I have no right. I gave him his walking papers hours earlier at our sacred place.
