Chapter 16

“I GAVE HIM MY word. That should be enough for you.” Tiffany sniffs. She pulls a face, offended.

She’s offended? Seriously?

“Of course, it is,” I reply through gritted teeth, not convincing anyone.

Although I would like to pack her things and buy her a one-way ticket to Timbuktu, I eventually agreed with Sam—when we came up for air during our incredible afternoon of sex—that I would do my best to put Tiffany’s betrayal behind me.

Now I’m in my room back at my apartment, unpacking my bag. I figured since the paparazzi is too stupid to cover the back entrance to my building, I can come and go as I please.

“So, how’d you do it?” she asks, sitting down on my bed, dropping a couple of pairs of shoes on the floor.

“Do what?” I snap.

She raises her eyebrows at me.

“Sorry,” I mutter. “Do what?” I ask, forcing a pleasant tone.

“Get a guy like Sam? He’s not your usual type.”

I guffaw. “What’s my usual type, exactly?”

A sly grin spreads across her pretty face. “Invisible ones.”

I grimace, annoyed I fell right into her trap. “Thanks a lot, Tiff.”

I close my drawer and push the empty bag under my bed.

The front door bangs shut.

“I’m just messing with you. Make sure you don’t mess this one up,” Tiffany says, making herself comfortable. “He’s really hot.”

“Who’s really hot?” Taylor asks, standing in the doorway, her handbag slung over her shoulder. “And what shouldn’t Grace mess up?”

“Nothing,” Tiffany says. She darts a look at me, a grin at the edges of her mouth. “Much.”

I glare at her.

Taylor looks between the two of us. “What’s going on?”

“You’ll need to ask hot sex goddess Grace that,” Tiffany replies, leaning back against my pillows.

I kick my glare up a notch. Fantasize about violence.

Taylor looks inquisitively at me. “What does she mean, ‘sex goddess’?” Her eyes widen. She drops her bag to the floor and steps into the room. “Oh, my god. You’re not sleeping with Sam Montgomery, are you?”

Tiffany sniggers.

I squeeze my eyes shut. Taylor is one of the sweetest people I know. I lied to her when she dropped my clothes off to me at my parents’ house. It felt wrong then, and it feels wrong now, especially since our other roommate knows all about it. Although Sam needs us to keep things quiet, I would trust Taylor with my life. Which is not something I could ever say about Tiffany.

I sigh. “Yes.” I bite my lip.

“Grace, no! He’s dating someone else. I know you kissed him—heck, everyone does—but now you’re sleeping with him too?”

“She’s quite the naughty one, isn’t she?” Tiffany says.

“Shut up, Tiffany,” Taylor snaps.

We both regard her in surprise.

“Taylor, I know how this looks. You have to believe me, it’s not an affair, no matter what the media’s saying.”

“What is it then?” She crosses her arms, scowling at me.

“Sam and Vanessa are pretending they’re together until the movie they’ve made is out. It’s a marketing thing, that’s all.”

Her face softens a fraction. “So, they’re not together?”

I shake my head.
