“What happened to you last night?” Nate whispered to me as we got onto the boat that was going to take us snorkeling.

“What do you mean?” I asked innocently, careful to make sure that Anabel and Dylan weren’t listening.

“When I woke up you weren’t there.” His eyes searched mine. “What happened?”

“I thought it best to not be seen coming out of your room naked this morning,” I said. “It was just for fun after all.” I then turned around and headed over to where Dylan was sitting. I was not going to let Nate know how his words had hurt me the night before. I didn’t want to give him that power. If he knew how much he had hurt me, he would know that I loved him. And he would know that he had all the power. That wasn’t how I was going to get him. He had to think that he could lose me from his life. He had to believe that I could take him or leave him. I hated playing this game, but Anabel was right. This was the only way to truly see if he was willing to step up to the plate and be in a real relationship with me.

“Hey sexy,” Dylan said as I sat next to him and I gave him a big smile.

“Hey,” I said. “Sleep well?”

“Not as well as you.” He winked at me and I searched his face.

“What are you talking about?” I could feel my face going red.

“You’re not the quietest in the bedroom, Janie.” He grinned at me and then laughed when my jaw dropped open. “Don’t worry, I won’t let your secret out of the bag.” He shook his head. “Though honestly, I don’t quite understand what’s going on here?”

“What do you mean?”

“Why did Nate ask me to date you and why did you agree to go on a date with me if you two are into each other?”

“We’re not into each other. It’s not like that.”

“I’d say it was like that.” He winked at me. “I have to admit I was slightly jealous.”

“Only slightly?” I asked and winked at him.

“Well you know. Anabel seems like quite the girl.” He looked over at her and then back at me. “But I’m not going to bother with all that. She looks like the sort of girl that wants more than I can give.”

“And I didn’t?” I pouted.

“You don’t want me to answer that question, do you?” He put his hand on my knee and laughed as he leaned forward. “Janie, you’re gorgeous and sexy and I very badly wanted to have you in my bed,” he whispered in my ear and I could feel my face going red.

“What’s going on here then?” Nate suddenly popped up next to us, glaring down at me. “Janie?”

“What do you mean, what’s going on? We’re talking.”

“Oh?” He looked at Dylan’s hand still on my knee. “Talking about what?”

“I was just telling Janie that she’s the sort of girl that makes me want to give up my playboy lifestyle.
