Chapter Twelve

“I still can’t believe he had you practically naked, and he stopped.” Brooke paced across the kitchen in Megan’s apartment, stopping to look at the spot on the counter where Megan had sat hot and wanton only twelve hours before. “What kind of man does that?”

“One that has more willpower than I do,” Megan muttered.

“Or one that’s a moron,” Brooke corrected.

“That, too.”

“But I still don’t understand how it even happened.” Brooke spun back to face Megan, who sat on the opposite side of the kitchen at the dining room table. Brooke had come over as soon as Megan texted to offer brunch and mimosas, and though they were on their second drink, brunch hadn’t yet happened. Instead, all they’d done was talk about Nate.

“It happened because I went out with Dre, and Nate didn’t like it.”

“No.” Brooke waved off the explanation. “I know that part. You said that already. But how? As in, how did you let it happen. I thought you were just going to be friends with him?”

“I was. I am.”

“Then how did last night go from looking at design notes at midnight to stripping each other on the kitchen island?”

Megan took another sip of her mimosa as Brooke returned to the table. “I got a text from my dad that upset me.”

“Okay?” The utter perplexity on her friend’s face turned her heavy, almond-shaped eyes into narrow slits.

Megan had never told Brooke anything about her parents other than the basics, so she added, “We have an ‘unstable’ relationship.” But that wasn’t exactly true. They had the relationship that her dad wanted . . . and she just always let him get away with it.

She’d yet to call him out on never having time for her. It had been bad enough when he and her mother divorced and he’d moved to Seattle, but once she’d finished high school, it was as if he’d washed his hands of her. Like his job had been finished.

Except, he still expected her to live up to her full potential.

“I don’t see him often,” she explained, “and I guess deep inside, I’m a daddy’s girl.” At least, as a kid she’d considered herself to be one. She’d once followed him around everywhere. “It’s been a while, and I miss him. So, Friday he texted that he would stop by today on his way back out of the country, and last night he changed his mind. I was upset. And . . . I got a little heated.”

“And that made Nate kiss you?” Doubt crept into Brooke’s voice, but Megan wasn’t sure how else to explain it.

“Yes. That made him kiss me. He apparently didn’t like seeing me upset.”

Brooke nodded. “Okay. I get that. Men don’t do well with tears.”

“I wasn’t crying.”

“Still. He knew you were hurting. Maybe he thought he’d kiss you before you cried.”

Megan gave her friend a contemptuous look. She was not a crier. “I wasn’t even on the verge of tears. In fact, I was screaming. And I might have also screamed something about how he didn’t want me, either.
