Chapter Six

Alana shifted in her chair trying to enjoy the late afternoon breeze, but it didn’t help her mood. All week she had been growing more agitated by the day. She was known for her even temper but just yesterday she hung up on a board member. It was that or tell him to shove it. That would have definitely raised a few concerns.

“Are you going to tell me why you’re being a raving bitch?” Colin asked.

She frowned at him. He had dragged her out trying to get her out of her funk but it was getting worse by the minute. Right now, she wanted to dump her drink on Colin.

She shook herself from that thought and took a sip of her drink, then set it down on the table.

“That’s a dirty mouth you have on you. Does your Tutu know you talk like that?”

“You know her. She taught me the words. So, are you going to tell me what’s going on?”

She sighed. “I’m frustrated because of Marco.”

“What did he do?”

She glanced out at the passing traffic on Kam Highway and tried her best not to sigh again. “Kissed me.”

He frowned at her. “What’s wrong with that?”

“Nothing.” Not really. Except that she hadn’t had a decent night’s sleep since he did it. Her lack of sleep had definitely added a layer of that bitchiness Colin had pointed out.

“I thought he kissed you before.”

She shook her head. “No. He gave me a kiss. This was a kiss.”

“Ah.”

He had one of those condescending looks that irritated her. Okay, most of the time they amused her. This time she wanted to punch him in the face.

“What does that mean?” she asked.

“Well, it’s been awhile for you.”

She frowned into her drink. “I had a date a couple months ago.”

He shook his head. “First of all, we have to talk about you admitting that as if it is a good thing. Secondly, I meant sex. It’s been awhile.”

“I don’t know why I share things with you. You always say horrible things about me. And not trying to be the raving bitch you accused me of, but you are hardly someone who should be talking.”

“I have sex fairly regularly.”

She snorted. “Besides, it wasn’t sex. Just a kiss.”

“Tell me this. Did you forget your last name?”

That kiss was seared in her memory. The feelings filtered through her just as they did every time she thought of that moment. She had never had a man kiss her like it meant more to him than his next breath. There was a pretty good chance she would remember it on her deathbed before she remembered any sex she’d had.

“Yeah.”

“Being the man that I am, I’ll give a little advice. Men like Santini do not kiss like that on a whim.”

“I think that he might just be a better kisser than you. In fact, from my experience with you, I would say he is definitely better.”

“There’s that bitchiness again.”

Dammit. She hated when Colin was right. He rarely was. It was probably the reason he was so damned smug about it when he was.
