Chapter 9

The next day, Martina and Carrie had called a truce. The situation with Aleks had been put aside and they continued to be as close as they ever were. It was a good thing, especially since Carrie had every hope that Martina would soon be her sister.

Carrie had spilled the beans to Martina about her encounter with Aleks. How she finally made her move. How Aleks lost interest but seemed to regain it when he realized she was upset. Carrie told her about the look in his eyes. Or at least the look that wasn’t in his eyes, his blank, vacant stare. Every once in while she would get a tiny glimpse of what he was feeling, but he was either too quick or too good at hiding his face. When they were done he’d left, but not before placing a slow, intimate kiss to her lips. The thought of that kiss heated her body, the ache for his touch returning. Before he’d left, she thanked him for her present and that was the last Carrie had seen of him.

Martina confirmed the look. Apparently, despite being actively involved, Aleks kept himself at a distance. She hadn’t felt the closeness or intimacy with him that she had felt with Rob. It made Carrie all the more curious as to why he felt the need to hide, with her, with anyone.

It was now Monday morning and Carrie was at the store, fitting a bride-to-be.

“I look smokin’ hot!” Janet Mead stood atop the small circular stand admiring herself in the three-way mirror. Carrie was putting the finishing touches on her bridal lingerie. “Carrie, you are a magician with a needle.”

“Thank you. Your man will certainly love this outfit on your wedding night.”

“And thanks for doing it on such short notice.”

“Not a problem. Just don’t forget to recommend me to your friends.”

“Oh, I will. You’ve managed to give me a waist.” Janet Mead was an acquaintance from high school. They were never classified as friends, but they weren’t strangers either.

“How’s it going ladies?” Amie entered the dressing room, her platinum hair half falling out of a clip.

“We’re just about done.” Carrie took the needle from between her teeth and sewed the white lace fabric, reinforcing the zipper.

“Care, your brother just called and said he and Martina can’t make it tonight but will stop by tomorrow night to discuss the party.”

The party was this weekend and they were nowhere near ready.

“Thanks, Amie.”

“How is your brother, Carrie? I haven’t seen him since high school.” Janet seemed to trail

off, her eyes focusing on a spot on the ceiling as if remembering the good ol’ days.

“He’s good. He’s teaching at our high school and living with his girlfriend which made Aleks homeless. So now he’s living at my parents until he gets his own place.”

“Aleks Turko?”

“Yeah. You remember Aleks, don’t you?”

“Oh, yes. No girl ever forgets Aleks Turko.”

What does that mean?

“He’s one hot piece of man,” Amie piped up from the doorway.

“A hot and talented man,” Janet added.
