Chapter 21

Rand

I scanned through emails, clicking delete on the ones I had no interest in reading, which was a lot. I wasn’t paying a lot of attention to what I was doing. My mind kept going back to the other night with Nicole. She had gotten under my skin. I found myself thinking about her several times an hour.

She’d stayed the night and then left on Saturday. For the first time in all my adult life, I would have been perfectly happy to have had her stay the entire weekend. We truly had a lot of fun together and not just in bed. There was so much more I wanted to know about her, so much more I wanted to show her and experience with her. I suddenly had the feeling life was too short. There didn’t seem to be enough time to do all the living I wanted to do while experiencing it with someone I cared about.

I cared about her. I’d barely known her for a couple weeks, and I cared about her. It was a novel feeling that I was still working through, trying to figure out the ins and outs of a relationship that was more than just sex.

“You look deep in thought,” Adrian said from my doorway.

I looked up and shrugged a shoulder. “I do have deep thoughts.”

“Not often,” he quipped, walking in and taking a seat in one of the chairs.

“What brings you by?” I asked him, a little surprised to see him in my office. It was usually the other way around.

“I wanted to tell you Bella and I really enjoyed meeting Nicole. She’s nice and not at all the woman I imagined you to be bringing,” he joked.

“I’m not sure if that was a compliment, but I’ll take it.”

“Seriously, Bella really liked her and wants to hang out again soon,” he said. “Maybe we can go out on the boat or something.”

I nodded. “She’d probably like that.”

He frowned at me. “You’re being very hedgy. Is it already over between the two of you?”

“No, but I don’t know that is has begun,” I said, not sure how to explain what was happening between the two of us because I had no earthly idea what it was.

“It sure looked like it had begun. You were different around her.”

“How so?” I asked, truly interested in what he had to say.

“I don’t know. You seemed settled, not the usual anxious Rand that’s always got to talk or laugh or drink.”

I scowled at him. “Are you saying I’m obnoxious?”

“Not at all.” He grinned.

“I’ll talk to her and let her know Bella is interested in getting together again,” I said. “She liked her and had a good time.”

“Did you figure out the wine thing?” he asked, telling me he had definitely noticed her aversion to me drinking that third glass.

“Not really.”

“Did you get sloppy drunk around her in the past?” he questioned.

“No, I don’t get sloppy drunk,” I retorted.

“Not anymore,” he said with a laugh.

“She’s had some bad experiences.
