Chapter 17

Ginny splashed water on her face and dried it in the towel. Mhmm, it smelled a bit like the soap that Nick used, lavender and lemon zest.

She removed it hastily from her cheeks and hung it back on the rack. The last thing she needed was to send her senses into haywire before entering their bedroom.

Their bedroom.

A lump formed in Ginny’s throat, and she gulped. It wasn’t theirs, it was Nick’s. She just had to sleep there because of this stupid challenge Marcia had thrown at her. Ginny had to prove that she didn’t have feelings for Nick and that spending the night in a room with him wasn’t going to affect her.

She sighed and stared at herself in the mirror. Her cheeks were reddening already at the sheer thought of staying with Nick.

She stuck her tongue out at her image.

Who was she kidding? Of course she was stirred. Nick’s presence did that to her in bright sunlight, so the cozy moonshine wasn’t going to help her case. It was bound to worsen it big time.

The armchair was probably her safest option. She could sell it to Nick like a thing she always did. A sort of habit where she preferred to sleep vertically. Would he believe her?

Nick had always acted like a gentleman. Almost surprisingly old school compared to what Ginny would expect from a famous young writer. He might not go through with letting her sleep all crumpled up in a chair.

She grabbed a comb and ran it through her hair. She tried to convince herself that she did all these preparations, not because she wanted to look her best, but only as a routine. But deep down, she knew the truth. Was it desperate of her to wish that Nick wouldn’t only see her as his fake girlfriend but as a real woman?

In the ocean, there was a moment when she thought he did. Then she got so scared that she pushed him away. It was for the best. Nick had severe trust issues with women. His interest in her, if there was any, was most likely physical instead of emotional.

She put the comb back to its place, brushed her teeth, and then stepped out of the bathroom.

Nick wasn’t in the bedroom and the door to the corridor stood open.

His strong baritone spoke to Jacob. Did the boy wake up? “Hey, buddy. What’s the matter?” he asked.

Ginny tiptoed her way over to peek into the child’s room. Maybe he’d want her to come in, as well. There had been cases where he’d called her instead of his father.

Jacob was rubbing his eyes. “I had a dream. We were in a forest and got trapped in a hole. Ginny went to get help, but she never came back.”

Ginny’s heart jumped to her throat. She should have expected that, sooner or later, Jacob was going to exhibit abandonment issues with her. Guilt wormed through her chest as she considered that after the court’s ruling she’d be leaving Jacob for good.
