Chapter 17

They spent the next few minutes dishing up the massive Thai feast, which Brady insisted on paying for. The presence of food helped ease any remaining awkwardness, and before long they were telling stories and laughing as they had before. Only, this time, the overwhelming sexual tension that had enveloped them in the past had morphed into a more relaxed kind of intimacy. Trina enjoyed the company of both men and felt she could be herself when she was with them.

Toward the end of the meal, as they sat around his tiny dining table, Brady asked how she and Jeremy met. Trina let Jeremy tell the tale and enjoyed listening to him recount the events as they happened from his point of view. Despite her knowledge of the ending, she gasped in surprise several times along the way.

“You told me it was the parade of women that first caught your interest,” she said after her friend described, in gruff male terms, the memory of seeing her for the first time.

“Maybe the parade was the second thing,” Jeremy admitted. “I noticed your fine self the moment I stepped into the place. And fate took care of the rest.”

“Oh, no.” Trina put a hand of caution on Brady’s arm. “Watch out. He likes to invoke the name of fate when he wants something.”

“What do you call it?” Brady asked as he sat back in his chair with his legs stretched out in front of him. “The way you met.”

“Coincidence put us in the same place that day and sheer desperation made me offer him the room,” she said. “I needed a flatmate. He needed a room. It made logical sense.”

“Logic-smogic,” Jeremy said in a faux-grumble. “You’re no fun.”

Trina gave a sigh of agreement. Jeremy’s theory, imbued as it was with a sense of romance and wonder, was exactly the kind of crap she used to fall for. Even now, his words tugged at something deep in her chest. But she’d seen the proverbial light that same day and unless fate showed up at her door, complete with a name tag to confirm her identity, Trina was not about to be sucked in again. Her future happiness depended on her making sound choices from here on out.

“Does that count for me too?” Brady smirked at Jeremy, his own scepticism stamped across his features. “Or did I move here because of, I don’t know, my own free will?”

“That’s what fate wants you to think,” Jeremy insisted. “I don’t buy the three of us ending up here together by accident. We’re here because we need something we can only get from each other. Mark my words,” he added, waving his fork in the air, “we’re going to be stuck with each other until that cranky bitch is satisfied.”

Brady didn’t seem convinced. “Jeremy, sweetie, is this your roundabout way of telling us fate wants us to continue having sex with you?” he drawled.

Slack-jawed, Trina swung her head back toward Jeremy in time to see him choke on the piece of chicken he’d popped into his mouth.
