Chapter Seven

A full week had gone by since Kat had spoken to Noah, and her insides felt like they were on an emotional roller coaster ride that had jumped the track with no controls to stop it. She wasn’t exactly sure what was going on with Noah, or what had tripped his switch when he found out she was a virgin. She’d thought the sex was amazing, until he informed her that he went at her like an animal. Why would he do that? Why would he treat her that way, then call himself an asshole and run away? She didn’t know. All she knew was that she’d felt completely and utterly miserable since she left his bed, and he’d disappeared from her life.

“Come on, Kat.” Amy grabbed her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. “Everything will be okay.”

Sitting on the shuttle next to Amy, Kat forced a smile. “I know,” she said, even though it felt like her world was crashing down around her. She’d had a miserable week at work, and because she could barely concentrate, she’d screwed up a brochure she was working on. Once again, Shannon was displeased. Her father had called a few times, but she couldn’t bring herself to answer. Once look at her, and he’d know she was not okay. The last thing she wanted to do was to lie to explain her misery.

“It’s his loss, not yours.”

“I just don’t get it.” Kathryn folded her hands on her lap. “I mean, the sex hurt, which I expected, but it was still good too, know what I mean?”

“Yeah, I do.”

“I didn’t think he did anything wrong, or that he was too rough, but I guess I have nothing to compare it to.”

“That’s it,” Amy said, her eyes widening.

“What?”

“We’ll find you someone to compare it to.”

She shook her head. “No. I don’t think I want to sleep with anyone else.”

“Come on, Kat. We’ll find someone at the Cave tonight.” Amy tapped her chin. “I think I know just the guy.”

“Amy, please. I’m done with guys.”

The shuttle came to a stop, and they climbed off. The warm floral scent of the night air, combined with smoke from the fire fell over them as they walked to the shore. Amy opened her thermal bag and handed Kathryn a bottle before she added their drinks to the cooler. Kathryn twisted off the lid, and took a much needed drink, hoping the alcohol would help numb the emptiness inside her. Alyssa, the resort’s assistant bartender came up to her, and they talked for a few minute. She’d come to learn that Alyssa was into photography and really missed developing her photos. As Kathryn thought more about that, and wondered if there was a way she could help her, the beach grew crowded, and she suddenly wished she’d stayed at home. Partying was the last thing she felt like doing. She only come because Amy insisted she needed to get out. Throughout the course of the night, she spoke to a few more of the resort staff, but pretty much kept to herself.
