Almost a week later, just a few days before Aidan and Nat were due home, the freak-out I’d put on hold caught up with me. I really wished Nat wasn’t on her honeymoon. I needed one of our margarita fests, or maybe a mojito fest, to help me figure out all the crazy thoughts in my head. Nat was the only girl I knew who could distill a problem down to the fundamental dilemma. She would wade through all the bullshit, all the excuses, and misconceptions and point out the seed that had caused it all. I guess that’s why she was such a good accountant. The girl didn’t miss a single detail. Sometimes it was frightening.

I didn’t know what to do about Patrick. The man was practically attached to my hip, and I flippin’ loved it. Even all the ex-boyfriends, even my ex-fiance, had never been as much fun. I enjoyed their company, but it hadn’t been the same. After a few hours with them, I was ready for some alone time. I liked my solitude. I liked to read without somebody bugging the crap out of me. The last few days with Patrick had been pretty cool. When we weren’t having sex, well, we were usually sleeping, but the rare occasions we were vertical in a non-sexual way, it was cool. We would watch TV, make dinner, or just do our own thing. I really liked it, probably too much.

I needed Nat’s advice. She’d been there when Jeremy had torn me down to almost nothing. I knew better than to think all men were cut from the same cloth as my ex, but I also didn’t want to ever give a man that much power over me again. He’d cut me off from everyone but Nat, and that was because the stubborn bitch wouldn’t back down from him. Nat would show up and drag me out for girlie stuff, ignoring his pouting and rudeness. Even though I knew he would be ten times worse when I got home, I would go anyway. She was and continued to be my closest friend, practically a sister.

Jeremy never laid a hand on me, but he still managed to break me, with his words and his anger. The worst part was that I let him. Beyond that, I gave everything to him. He would destroy each part of me and I would happily give him another. That was what I wanted to avoid. Patrick might never be verbally abusive, but I’d give him everything and he could leave it behind him, crushed to dust. If Nat had been around I could have talked to her about all this. Left to my own devices, I was afraid I’d make decisions with my hormones rather than my brain.

It was my day off, and I’d spent most of it brooding. Thankfully, Patrick was working a big job and had been pulling fourteen hour days. For the last couple of nights, he’d come home, eaten, showered, screwed my brains out, and lapsed into unconsciousness.
