Chapter Nine

Christy paid for her soda and looked around. Tonight was a low-key event, no fund-raising dinner or dance, just good old outdoor-movie night. And thank God for it. Alden was a small town, but boy these people knew how to party.

The whole park was packed, but she soon found Sophie at the far end and walked toward her, dropping onto a wooden chair the second she reached her, tired after a long day. She hadn’t had time to properly sit when Rose and her entourage approached them, the beautiful blonde glancing around and then focusing on Christy, disdain oozing from her.

“Where did you leave Cole? Or has he gotten tired of you already?”

Sophie snorted. “Wouldn’t you wish that.”

“He’s filling in for Mike down at the gym—karate lesson. I’m very surprised you aren’t there drooling.”

“We weren’t drooling,” Rose retorted.

Ah, so they’d been there. What a surprise.

“I still can’t believe he’s dating you. Did he lose a bet or something?” she asked, looking toward her friends.

Bitch. Christy shrugged and offered her a sweet smile. “What do you want me to say? I just want to fuck the man, but he insists on dating me. Go figure that one.”

Rose’s malicious eyes narrowed on her. “Enjoy it while it lasts. You can’t hold on to a man like that. You don’t have what it takes.”

And with that parting shot Rose strode away, all long legs and swinging hips.

“‘You don’t have what it takes,’” Sophie repeated, mocking Rose’s tone. “And what’s that, Botox and a bad case of sluttiness?”

Christy smiled, although deep down she agreed with Rose; she didn’t have what it took to keep a man like Cole. Not that keeping him was part of the deal anyway.

“Ignore her. Rose is a grade-A bitch. She was insufferable back in high school, and she’s insufferable now. She’s one of those girls who can’t stand the fact that their glorious teen years are gone.”

Christy so knew the type. Time had passed, but Rose was still stuck shaking pom-poms and offering her ass to the captain of the football team. Pathetic.

“That she’s making herself available for Cole and he’s passing on her must be killing her.”

“It seems to be killing many. I’m getting tired of this shit. It was fun at the beginning to see all those girls throwing themselves at Cole, but jeez, it’s annoying.” She’d been his make-believe girlfriend for a week, and all the vamps buzzing around him were already getting to her.

The truth was, she really liked spending time with Cole, and not only in bed. Aside from a couple of afternoons in Boston shopping with Annie for a gown for the gala, she’d spent all her free time with Cole. He was a dominant, take-charge male who took a lot of space, but in spite of it she enjoyed herself in his company—a lot. Too much probably. There was something about him that drew her in. He wasn’t as easygoing or laid-back as his brothers were—he was more contained, more reserved.
