CHAPTER 14

After lunch and a stop at the grocery store followed by a donation to my favorite homeless shelter, Soup on Fourth, I finally post my article about Carter. I’m not happy with how it turned out. It doesn’t really articulate how strongly I feel, but I’m still wary of posting anything that might come off as clingy since I know he’ll read whatever I post.

Plus there’s the whole fact that I don’t actually know how I’m feeling. It’s hard to articulate confusion.

I want to see him again. I need to see him again. He’s been on my mind constantly since he left, but I haven’t heard from him since yesterday when he texted me just after he landed.

I decide to social media stalk him. I start with a simple search, and I find tons of pictures of him with a blonde. I click on the first picture.

He’s wearing a tuxedo and looks exactly like he did when he left my place yesterday. His dark hair is perfectly coiffed with some waxy stuff, and his dark eyes practically glow at the camera.

The caption reads, Carter King with longtime girlfriend Amanda Gray.

I remember him saying it’s over with Amanda when I confronted him with what Axel had told me.

So this must be the ex.

The famous ex he’s maybe not exactly over but claims to be over.

I wonder (not for the first time) why they broke up.

I click on the picture so I can zoom in. She’s beautiful. She looks more like Emme than like me with her high cheekbones and straight, petite nose. Her skin is like porcelain, but she has a touch of a tan that looks more natural than sprayed. Her hair is shiny and silky, and it’s so pretty I almost want to run my fingers through it myself. It runs in loose waves down her back, and it looks perfect against the tan skin of her shoulders.

Her figure is a definite ten. She’s tall and thin with perky breasts and perfect posture. Her cleavage spills out over the top of her shimmery black dress, but she manages to look classy and elegant anyway.

I hate her, immediately and without reservation.

She’s beautiful and she’s perfect standing next to him. What’s worse is that I know she owns a piece of his heart. He claims it’s over, but this photo is evidence that love once existed between the two of them. It’s the way he’s so genuinely smiling at the camera, the way his arm is wrapped around her waist…the way he looks so happy.

I’m trying to remember if he ever looked at me like that. The first time I met him, he had on those sunglasses—the second time, too. He wouldn’t have looked at me with love in his eyes when we first met—that is, unless he really believes in the whole love at first sight thing. I thought I saw a tinge of that look in his eyes on the boat during our sunset kiss, but the kind of devotion in his eyes takes time to build.
