Chelsea pulled a shirt out of her bag and slowly put it on. She was distracted by the earlier scene in the kitchen. Nate had been almost terrifyingly angry when he thought she was lying to her mother because of him. She laughed bitterly. If only Nate was the problem. The irony of it was that she would happily tell her mother about Nate, if it was a relationship not a fling. If she wouldn’t be leaving for Korea in three weeks, she’d bring Nate over to her mother right now. Hell, maybe she would anyway. She’d show her mother what a real man, a good man, looked like so that maybe her mother would get it right next time.

Despite Nate’s very obvious temper, every minute she spent with him made it harder for her to right him off as just another garden variety asshole. Nate was much more than met the eye, and to write him off as a bad boy with a bike would be doing him an injustice. That didn’t mean that she wouldn’t do her best to convince herself of that very thing when it was time to leave, but there it was.

Loathe though she was to admit it to him, she could finally admit it to herself; past aside, wasn’t who she’d assumed he was, not anymore. Bad boys didn’t care that you never brought them home to meet your mother. In fact, they considered it a bonus. But Nate’s anger had hidden real hurt. She’d only known him a few days and she could see that.

Scary as his flash of temper had been, his steely eyes and the kick to the door jamb, it was obvious that he had controlled it. Everyone got angry, some people had more fiery tempers than others. Chelsea knew it, and she also knew that keeping it under control was the important thing. Nate had done just that. He hadn’t put a hole in the wall, hadn’t roared off and gotten in an accident, hadn’t struck anyone. She couldn’t have forgiven him that, not in a lifetime. Blaming him for his anger wouldn’t be fair. If he had been right, if she’d been lying to her mother out of shame, he had every right to be angry.

She was angry at herself as it was. This whole damn thing was snowballing, just like it always did with her mother. She told one lie as a quick fix to get out of an uncomfortable situation and the next thing she knew, she was telling her mother she was getting imaginary spa services at an imaginary spa. It was no wonder she kept leaving the country. If she couldn’t get away from herself, she could at least get away from herself as she was around Annabelle.

Chelsea brushed her hair over her shoulders and took a deep breath. She studied her reflection for a long moment, wondering what Nate saw in her that inspired him to go to such great lengths. Her long copper hair was her best feature, but even on a good day, she thought her body was nothing special.
