Chapter Six

As it turned out, Hailey never ended up agreeing to or rejecting Zack’s date invitation. Her workweek started with full force, bringing with it numerous headaches, a slew of problems at the agency and the return of her drop-dead-gorgeous, sex-crazed roommates.

Dealing with work problems was a piece of cake.

Telling Mari and Sam about Zack was not.

Every Wednesday night the three of them gathered around the television to watch Lost, and though it was the summer and the show was on hiatus, that didn’t stop their routine. As a Lost rerun flashed across the plasma screen, Hailey polished off the homemade margarita Sam had whipped up and decided there was no point prolonging the inevitable.

Taking a breath, she said, “I slept with Zack.”

Marilee, of course, was the first to respond. She shoved a wayward blonde curl out of her eyes and fixed Hailey with a perplexed look. “What?”

“I slept with Zack,” she repeated.

“As in Zack Creighton?”

“Yeah.”

She held her breath, waiting for the fireworks, waiting for either Sam or Mari to blow up at her.

They surprised her by grinning.

“He’s great in bed, ain’t he?” Marilee sighed.

Hailey swallowed. “That’s it? That’s all you have to say? Aren’t you going to yell at me or something?”

“Why would I yell?” Mari asked.

Hailey turned to Sam, who was still grinning. “What about you? No vile things to scream at me?”

Sam’s pale blue eyes flickered with amusement. “Of course not.”

“But you both dated him!”

“Had sex with him,” Mari corrected. She swiped up the hair elastic on the coffee table and proceeded to tie her mass of curls into a low ponytail. “It’s not like we had a relationship.”

“Besides,” Sam spoke, leaning back against the sofa cushions, “he always had a thing for you.”

Huh? Where had that come from? As usual, her roommates were making her head spin. She’d known what she’d signed up for when she’d agreed to room with two spontaneous, high-strung models, but since the rent in Malibu was astronomical she’d figured living on the beach was worth some harmless head spinning.

The last thing she expected to hear was that Zack had the hots for her. And to hear it from two females who’d shared his bed, no less.

“He always used to ask a ton of questions about you,” Mari added with a grin. “I thought it was cute.”

“Who are you people?” she asked in amazement. “Shouldn’t we be getting into a catfight or something? You know, take your hands off my man and all that.”

Both women burst out laughing.

“Seriously,” Hailey insisted. “Get mad at me.”

“Sorry, hon,” Mari chirped. “I’m not about to lose my roommate over a guy I had casual sex with.”

She was either living with the most easygoing women in the world, or the sluttiest. Regardless, Hailey felt better knowing her roommates didn’t hate her guts. She might not have a lot in common with Mari or Sam, but she liked them both, and she didn’t want to lose their friendship over Zack Creighton.

Again she thought about his request that she go on a date with him.
