Chapter Five

They ate fish and chips down on the wharf and watched seagulls dive-bomb someone foolish enough to set their food down to take a phone call. Owen had his arm around her, and she was starting to get the vibe that he was going to kiss her.

“Remy?” a voice called behind her. She turned on the bench to see a guy carrying takeout from one of the restaurants.

“Hey, Cade, how’s it going?” she asked, standing up.

“Good. I haven’t been by to see you for a couple months.” Cade looked at Owen with eyebrows raised.

Was it her imagination or did Owen shift closer to her? “This is Owen. Owen, this is Cade.” They shook hands but neither looked friendly about the exchange.

“I was going to call you, when are you available again?” Cade asked.

Owen’s arm tightened around her shoulders. What was his deal?

“I’m pretty open,” she said.

“Okay.” Cade glanced back and forth between Owen and her. “I’ll let you get back to your date, and just give you a call.” He smiled uncomfortably and waved before walking off.

Remy turned to see Owen staring after Cade with his eyes narrowed.

“Owen?”

He glanced down. “Sorry. Did you want to talk to him more? I mean, I didn’t even…” He took his arm from around her.

“He can just call me at work and schedule an appointment,” she said.

The wrinkles on his forehead smoothed out and he grinned. “Oh…that’s what he was talking about?”

Oh my hell. He was jealous? “He’s one of my massage clients.”

“So, you give massages to men too?”

“Yeah, I do some work for a local physical therapy place, so I get a few athletes from time to time in addition to my regular clients. Cade tore a muscle playing football two years ago.”

“I thought he was maybe a boyfriend or something,” Owen said.

She scooted a few inches away. “If I were dating someone, I wouldn’t have let you buy me dinner.” That dinner was sitting heavy in her stomach. “I’m not like that. I don’t play games.”

Owen winced. “No, I’m sorry. I just…don’t normally do this. So, I’m not quite thinking things through.”

“Do what?” she asked.

He shrugged. “Anything without planning it out. Doing something because I want it and not because it’s logical. I…uhh…normally like to list pros and cons before making any decisions, but I’ve bypassed that step because there weren’t any cons. And there still aren’t, none that I’m seeing, but I’m not behaving very rationally.”

She shifted on the bench, then cleared her throat. “Are you saying you want me?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

Her heart started pounding. She shrugged. He’d had his arm around her, but didn’t anymore. He’d been holding her hand, but wasn’t anymore.

“Yes,” he said. “Yes, I do.”

He leaned toward her slowly, giving her plenty of time to back away. Live in the moment, Remy. She met his mouth with hers while sliding a hand along his jaw, caressing below his ear, and into the hair at the nape of his neck. They both parted their lips with the second kiss.
