“You and Callie are made for each other. A blind man can see it.”

“It won’t happen and you know it.”

“Right… because you’re a bigger fool than I thought. You missed out once, remember? Do you really want to risk it again?” Nicholas rapped his knuckle on the table, the impatience stamped on his face too. “Bro, she’s free. Free. All yours for the taking. What the hell are you waiting for?”

“And if it doesn’t work out? What happens to our friendship then?”

“You won’t know unless you try. And I have a feeling it will.”

“I don’t know…” Despite his recent struggle with desiring other women, his promiscuous instincts still lingered, battling against monogamy. He wasn’t yet sure of his conviction to settle down. Until then, he couldn’t risk pulling Callie into his messed-up life. “I think it’s best to keep things as they are.”

“Your loss,” Nicholas said, raising his palms. “But take my advice and end it with Adrienne. And do it gently. As I said, she might cause more trouble than you can handle.”

Gabriel folded his arms while thinking of his friend’s words. Adrienne had become an emotional time bomb for sure, but she wouldn’t hurt him… would she?

***

Callie cursed while suppressing the urge to smash her laptop to the floor. This was her third time trying to access the website for the work permit application form. But it kept buffering before timing out, and she had to start all over again. She needed to get it done, before she lost her mind in this goddamn apartment.

It seemed nothing worked in her favor today. Not the hot water in the shower—there wasn’t any, or the shampoo that turned her hair in a tangled mess. Certainly not her conversation with Gabriel.

What was she thinking the other night, asking him to make love to her? Was it the kiss that stole her common sense? Sure, it had taken her by surprise, knocked her off her feet, left her knees weak and her body trembling with lust, but they should have been no match for her powerful mind. She should have remained in control and walked away. Instead, she made a fool of herself.

Gabriel’s rejection stung. Even more because he initiated the kiss. He’d given her hope that it might lead to something more. Why did he do it? Was it because he wanted a warm body and hers was the only one available?

Of course.

If she hadn’t been around, he would have had a woman in his bed. She would have been the furthest thing from his mind. The kiss meant nothing, after all.

Well, she was grateful he had to sense to brush her off, for they would have gone all the way. And it was probably the worst decision they’d make.

She returned to the seat and refreshed the website, entering the details as her cell phone beeped. She ignored it, waiting until she completed the online process—with success this time—to check the screen.

It was a text message from an unknown number. She didn’t have to open it to know who’d sent it.
