AARON HADN’T MOVED off the couch since she left. He was still staring at the door, willing her to open it again and come back inside. Finally, after a few minutes, he ran his fingers through his hair, leaned back against the couch and sighed. He didn’t know what was going on with him. This woman had him wrapped around her finger somehow, and his tendency to call the shots just completely disappeared when she was around.

He gave her a key. Was that weird? He’d never done that before. He’d met up with plenty of women in Vegas, but he never considered giving them a key to his room, or missing his big competition day of the NFR. Those were two firsts that he hadn’t expected.

Now that she was gone, though, there seemed no point in sitting around. Plus, he was going to be late if he didn’t get going. He texted Jeremiah and changed, but the image of her head in his lap was still swimming in front of his eyes.

He was going to be sorry to give up Jessica, but he was glad that the distance and anonymity would stop him from continuing to see her. She was mind-blowing, but he didn’t want to hurt her, and he was afraid that it would happen if they spent too much time together.

He had hurt women before, when they wanted more than he was willing to give. He didn’t believe in true love and marriage and all that, at least not for him, and it had caused a few rough moments from time to time. That was why he liked to be clear about the situation up front, and what could be more clear than a two-day expiration date?

He exited the hotel room, heading down to Jeremiah’s. There was still something about Jessica, though, that was eating at him. There was something under her confidence, her slight hesitancies, that made him think she was unavailable.

He tried to tell himself it didn’t matter. She could make her own decisions, and it was one weekend. He shouldn’t press the issue or try to get involved. Still, he would never knowingly help someone cheat. He’d need to figure out what to do about that before he saw her in the evening.

Thinking of her walking into his room sent shivers down his spine, and he had to forcibly shift his attention so he could knock on Jeremiah’s door and get this whole thing out of the way without any big issues.

Jeremiah answered as soon as he knocked; he’d clearly been waiting for him. Aaron suddenly felt guilty about his treatment of his friend. “Hey, man,” he began, “I’m sorry about this whole thing—”

“It’s fine,” Jeremiah responded coldly.

Aaron felt even worse. He’d been such an ass that he’d made Jeremiah, the perennially happy friend he’d had since grade school, pissed off at him.

They began walking to the elevators. “No, seriously, I’m sorry.” He didn’t really want to explain but realized he didn’t have a choice if he wanted to fix this.
