Chapter 15

Kelly cringed, curling deeper into the lumpy brown couch, when Trina came home late one night to find her in her oldest pyjamas, eating ice cream and watching bad reality TV. She put the lid back on the carton and tossed it onto the coffee table before sinking lower into the cushions.

“Hey, Trina,” she said, trying to sound upbeat. “How was your date?”

“Terrible.” Crossing the room, Trina plonked down on the couch beside her.

“What happened?” Kelly asked, relieved she wasn’t the only one having a crappy night.

“He acted as if I was the most beautiful, talented, smartest woman in the world.”

She raised her eyebrows. “And the problem?”

“He was about as convincing as a snake oil salesman.” Trina crossed her arms over her chest and huffed, “Plus, he treated the waiter like crud under his shoe.”

“Right then,” Kelly said, making a face. “Definitely ditch him.”

Her friend nodded in agreement. “Still, the waiter was unbelievably hot and handled the situation with extreme patience.” Trina gave her a wink. “I slipped him my phone number.”

Kelly laughed. “Thank goodness the night wasn’t a complete loss.”

Learning forward to pick up the half-eaten ice cream carton, Trina peeked inside. “Chocolate chip cookie dough? What’s up?”

“Nothing,” she said with a casual shake of her head.

“Anytime you buy something other than vanilla it means something is wrong.”

“It’s just ice cream, Trina.”

Trina kicked off her shoes and propped her legs on the table. “In my hands it’s just ice cream. In yours it’s like a cry for help.” Opening the carton, she grabbed the spoon from inside and ate a big scoop of creamy goodness, her eyes closing in appreciation.

Kelly managed to extract herself from the couch long enough to get another spoon from the kitchen. “There has been no crying. I promise.” Although if things continued as they had the last few weeks she could potentially break down in a weepy puddle of sexual frustration.

The torture had begun the night Jake invited her over for dinner. After the meal had been devoured, and Kelly was ready to move on to a different kind of tasty, Jake had announced he’d had a wonderful evening and he would now walk her back to her car. She hadn’t even had time to say ‘what the fuck?’ before he disappeared out the front door. She’d had little choice but to follow. When they’d reached her car, he’d pulled her into his arms and kissed her like his life depended on it. Then, as she was about to suggest they head back inside, he’d pulled away—as in he suddenly stood on the other side of the footpath kind of away. It had been on the tip of her tongue to demand to know why he wasn’t having sex with her, but the question sounded so needy in her head she’d stopped short before giving voice to it.

Things had only gone downhill from there. Jake now seemed to be taking great pains to see her during the day and at any location except his place or hers.
