Chapter 12

Friends & Frenemies

That afternoon, Jeanne came over and drove her big SUV into my garage, where we loaded Cade in for his getaway behind closed doors. We’d spent a lazy day by the pool, ordered a pizza, and just talked and talked about everything. The little touches and kisses kept me at ease, as I tried not to think that he’d be going back to England tomorrow evening and I wouldn’t see him for a month.

Ethan’s party was typical of him; Lots and lots of alcohol, video games, a karaoke machine and lots of laughing. Ethan and Dawson ribbed all the girls into doing karaoke, so we all three got up there and belted our version of “Girlfriend,” by Avril Lavigne. We all took turns with parts and it actually sounded really good. We were dancing around being silly, flirting and laughing at the men. Then Cade walked in, smiling brightly as he took in the scene. He laughed as he glanced around, openly enjoying watching us.

Everyone was surprised to see him, and I tried to act just as surprised, waving at him in the middle of the song. Wendy stopped singing and ran over to where Cade was standing to throw her arms around him with a flamboyant squeal. Ugh, I thought. I could tell what tonight was going to be like.

The guys swarmed around him, which was ironic in a way. Cade wasn’t someone who acted suave or conscious of how popular he was with women, which was amazing in itself considering how gorgeous he was. Still, the guys all worshiped him like he was a God in that department. He thought it was funny, but now that I’d made love with him several times, I smiled secretly to myself. He was very adept in that department. He smirked at me, clearly wondering what I was thinking. My eyes flashed at him, as I tried to stifle a smile.

The guys clapped and cheered for Jennifer and me as we finished up. Cade was staring, his gaze intense. I rubbed the back of my neck, and lowered my lids to hide a glance in his direction. Dawson leaned in to say something to him, and Cade grinned. Wendy was still near him, grabbing his arm and trying to get his undivided attention. She was so fucking obvious, which was what I knew she was hoping for, and I was irritated. I was jealous, not because I thought he would fall prey to her blatant display, but because I couldn’t be near him or touch him as she was doing. Pretending to be indifferent when I was so in love with him would be impossible.

“Hey. Glad you could join us tonight, Cade,” I said to him a few minutes later. “Did you want a drink?” I was going to the bar. Wendy was sticking to him like glue, not that I was surprised. “I’ll have a vodka martini, Brook!” Wendy called after me. Cade nodded to my question.

Great, I thought as I flashed her a dirty look.
