Chapter Twelve

Cole

It’s been a few days and I’ve felt confused and annoyed by her silence. I’ve tried texting and calling, but she’s been ignoring me. I know now that she’s feeling conflicted inside. I am too, but I have more clarity. I’m not tied down to a life that can’t be upended. I’m free to do with my life as I please. Yet, all I want to do with it right now is spend more time with her. This is infuriating. I wrap up my real feelings in a lie, pretending that all I feel is annoyance that she’s reneging on our deal. This was meant to be a week of fun, an agreement that we’d spend more time together. Instead, we had one awesome day together and then she ghosted me. All that was going to change. I wasn’t completely clear on why I felt so motivated to keep pushing things like this. Maybe it was backlash from Alisha’s betrayal.

“Was I really that wounded by it?” I wonder.

What Alisha and Charlie did had certainly stung. I wasn’t completely surprised by it though. Alisha had always shown signs that she couldn’t be trusted. She loved dressing up and flirting. I’d just always thought she was an attention seeker and loved toying with men’s feelings because it made her feel good about herself. She was a damaged person. But she’d acted on it too, and worst of all, with my own brother. Him, I wasn’t surprised by. He’d always been jealous of me as kids. I was younger, but still got all the attention from girls. He’d realized early on that he could never compete in that aspect, so he threw himself headlong into his ambitions and became a millionaire. He found a string of women for whom money meant more than looks. Finally, the dweeb was getting some tail of his own.

Alisha was personal though. He regularly flaunted his wealth and the women he got because of it. I’d accepted that he’d bested me at last on that front, but it wasn’t enough for him. Whether Alisha realized it or not, I knew the truth. She was a personal conquest. A way of silently sending me a message.

“I can have any woman I want now, even yours!”

He’d always resented me since we became step-brothers. It was different for me because I’d always looked to him as a real brother. I wondered what Alisha would do when he eventually grew bored with her and discarded her like all the others. We might have fought like cats and dogs, but we had good times too. I was really beginning to think about settling down when it all happened. The timing had been rushed, but my pursuit of Adeline was a more nuanced situation. I might actually be falling for her, but I’m certainly not ready to admit that to her or myself. I reach her apartment door and knock. The door opens and there she is, looking radiant again, even though she’s in sweatpants and has her hair tied, wearing no makeup, and looking irritated.
