Chapter Eleven

I cheat. There’s no way I’m capable of throwing a party for anyone, let alone employees that bug the shit out of me more often than not. So, even though I lost the bet, I don’t plan the party. Instead, I get Rory Larson to do it. She needs to do something to prove herself as the new manager of this section of this farm, and virtually anyone on the planet will be better at planning said party than I would be. As far as I see it, it’s a win-win for all involved.

Jackson still gets all pissy, proclaiming I’m abusing his new girlfriend, but I don’t give a shit. I’m too busy trying to avoid Andrea to care about pissing off my brother yet again.

After our little interlude in the field, both of us avoid each other for the rest of the week. I need to, in order to act on my conviction that there can’t be anything between us. For the next few days, weeks, months, I have to spend as little time with her as possible until this attraction dies. Things can go back to normal when I can look at her and not think about fucking her from behind. Or in any fashion.

It’s a two-way street. Andrea scrams whenever she sees me coming near her. It annoys the fuck out of me, but I know she’s right, so I try not to let it bother me. Three times, though, she literally leaves the farm in the middle of the day for no discernible reason. The first time I barely notice, the second I watch her drive off in irritation. But on Thursday, the third time she disappears, I’m forced to talk to her for the first time that week. Things might be weird between us, but she can’t just fuck off whenever she wants. There’s still work to be done.

When I confront her, she gives me some cagey answer about fixing the Howard situation. I leave it at that. No way in hell am I discussing that shit show now on top of all the other drama unfolding in this place. As far as I’m concerned, she can have at it, and I’ll just enter the picture for the formal interviews. It’s not like she’s going to pick someone terrible.

I can’t even imagine what’s going to happen when she finishes those financial numbers and I’ll have to confront those, too. She’s got me too messed up to even locate my head from my ass, let alone do math. Something has to give, but I don’t know what that is. Christ, I shouldn’t have kissed her.

So we fall into weird, super-distant communication. The men sense it. A few of them even ask what I did to her. I snap at Morris precisely once before the questions stop. This new MO for the farm is an unpleasant one, but I can handle it. We all can.

But then Andrea shows up for the party.

She’s wearing another dress. This one is yellow, so cheerfully bright it almost hurts to look at her.
