Chapter Five

I gaze at Brad’s hands as he grips the wheel of his Aston Martin—his long, well manicured fingers resting around it so gracefully. The weeks had flown by and three months had past filled with daytime sexting, the odd mid-week liaison—when I managed to juggle Jody’s attention seeking—and weekends spent at his beach house. Occasionally Brad would come to my apartment in the week when Jody wasn’t there. He never did when Jody was there though—he said he liked it when it was just the two of us; so we could have quality time together. It sounded feasible however I couldn’t help but sense an unsaid tension when it came to Jody and that past events between them were still raw. So, whenever she had plans to stay out all night, Brad would come over to my humble apartment. I’ve tried to keep my emotions guarded after Jody’s warning, but for the life of me I can’t think of a reason that he would be with me other than genuine ones. So, I’ve pushed it to the back of my mind and filed it under ‘Caution.’

I have begun dreading work as Marlene’s temper becomes shorter and shorter—the pressures of her situation beginning to display cracks in her resolve. Jody and I never mentioned our conversation again however our relationship has altered subtly—as if there is an unspoken boundary that has been crossed and neither of us quite know how to deal with it. The weekends have become precious times for me and when Brad has work commitments that cut them short it leaves a gapping void in my life that aches. But this weekend my crazy, beautiful man has promised that nothing will interrupt our time together. He places a hand on my knee as we make the journey to the beach house and I feel myself tighten as I gaze lovingly at his soft features while he concentrates on the road ahead. We pull into the driveway, as always Valerie opens the door to greet us.

“Hello Valerie” I sing out, giving her a big, beaming smile.

“Hello Ms Nichols”—she never calls me Angel despite me asking her to. Brad carries my bag as we sweep into the entrance of the beach house where Valerie has decorated a magnificent tree all in red, gold and green in readiness for Thanksgiving in five days time. I have made plans to go back to Texas and have booked a flight out from LAX on Wednesday, so Brad is making this our own personal Thanksgiving together. I haven’t told my parents about Brad yet although I have referred to him as ‘my friend’ during our weekly phone calls so I think they have a clue that I may be seeing someone. I wanted to leave it a while till I was sure we were officially together which, is an issue that is beginning to bug me. Three months and I haven’t met his mother and step-father yet. In fact, we haven’t even been
