CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
Rod
âWhen are you and Tracy getting married?â I intentionally throw that unexpected bomb at Kevin during our early morning run to see how heâll respond.
âMarried? What are you talking about?â He stops jogging and his eyebrows lift well over his sunglasses. âWhen are you and Daisy getting married?â
âWeâre not, and you damn well know it. This is a vacation flingânothing more. Iâve made that clear from day one.â
âSo youâve said. But youâve been with the same woman for a week now, not even looking at all the other hotties running around here in their thong bikinis. You donât want to admit it, even to yourself, but youâve got it bad for little Miss Daisy.â
âWrong.â
âIâm not wrong. The day Daisy and Tracy went off together and left us out, you were in a foul mood the entire time because you couldnât get your Daisy fix.â
âLies and slander.â
He laughs, but itâs the sardonic, I know you better than that kind. âYouâre right. There are lies, the ones youâre telling yourself. Youâve been in two fights over her, in the club and at the pool. The only other woman youâve fought for is Juliana, but sheâs your sister, so that doesnât count.â
âSheâs the only woman I love, so she does count.â
âThat was true before. But do you know what I think?â
âNo, and I donât want to know.â
âI think youâve already fallen in love with Daisy, to the point you can see yourself settling down with her for a nice, long life. That scares the ever-loving shit out of you, and you know it.â
I turn to resume our jog on the beach, refusing to dignify that ridiculous notion with a response. Heâs quick on my heels, though.
âTypical Rod. Shut down when anything resembling emotions toward another human surfaces. Youâre not your father, man. Youâve already proven that. Look at Juliana and Isabelle.â
âWhatâs it to you? Why do you care so much?â I roar at him, directing my anger and frustration at the closest outlet.
âBecause youâre my best friend, Rod. If you donât acknowledge whatâs going on with Daisy, youâll regret it for the rest of your life. Losing her will haunt you day and night. The girl is crazy about you, and anyone willing to put up with your bullshit deserves a fucking gold medal.â
âAll the more reason for her to get away from me after the next three days end. Actually, it wonât even be that long because you and I have an early flight out on our last day. So, we have a couple of days and some change.â
âWhat a superb role model you are for Isabelle. You should remember this moment the first time some jerk breaks her heart. When you want to kick his ass, just remember youâre not one bit better than he is.â
âWhatâs your fucking deal, Kevin? Did Tracy cut you off unless you can convince me to pop the question to Daisy before the trip is over?â
âDonât bring Tracy into this and try to lay any blame on her.
