"You're really going to have to face facts, Johnny."

Stretched out on a lounger on Shane's balcony two hours after I'd left Amber, I'd already had time to regret my response to her perfectly reasonable request. "And what facts would those be, Shane?"

"First, she was right and you were wrong."

I nodded. "Tell me something I don't already know."

"Then why the hell did you walk out on her?"

I turned to stare at him on the lounger beside me. "I didn't walk out on her. I left to cool my head before I said something I couldn't take back."

"Hmm. I'll bet she thinks you walked out on her."

I silently acknowledged that he was probably right. "Given my mood, staying wouldn't have been a good idea."

"Then you should have told her you needed a cooling off period. You know how fragile a woman can get when she knows she's given it up too often and too quickly."

I clenched my right hand into a fist. "How many times are you going to imply she's easy, Shane?"

"Look, Johnny, what would you call a woman who allows a man she's known one day to fuck her raw? I call that easy or—"

"Fuck you!"

"Or a woman who fell in love at first sight… if you believe in such shit."

"I don't."

"Neither do I," he said. "So what explanation can you offer for her behavior?"

I felt angry, raw, and confused by my behavior since I'd met Amber. The last thing I needed was for him to make things worse for me when all I wanted was a listening, non-judgmental ear.

I stretched out my foot and kicked his lounger. "I don't have to offer you any explanation, you asshole. And I'm warning you, Shane. Call her easy again and you're going to find yourself getting up off the ground." I rose from the lounger and stormed inside, afraid I'd take a swing at him.

He followed me.

I swung around to stare at him. "I'm really not in the mood to listen to any more shit from you about a woman you've never met."

He held up his hands, palms outward. "Understood."

I sighed and walked across the room to sit on the loveseat. "I hate this feeling."

"What feeling?"

"She makes me feel like a horny teenager crushing for the first time."

He sat opposite me on the sofa. "That's probably because you're in love for the first time."

"I am not in love with a woman I met two days ago, Shane."

"Then why the hell are you wasting so much of my time talking about her?"

I stared at him. "For two cents, I'd knock you on your ass."

"Look, Johnny, get real. It doesn't matter if you call her cher or sheenea. You're in love with her."

"Are you out of your mind? I'm not some silly teenager who equates great sex with love. Just because I lost my head with her doesn't mean I'm in love with her. Hell, in case you've forgotten, I don't do love. I do lust and mild affection but not love."

"Maybe you didn't before, but you do now.
