CHAPTER XV

Michelle was watching Beth walk up the beach toward her house when the sound of Scott’s voice appeared to startle her. “Michelle, are you alright?”

As she moved closer, he put his arm over her shoulder. “No, I don’t think so. I don’t know what’s wrong but there are some really strange things going on.”

Michelle wasn’t telling Scott everything she wanted him to know, mostly because she had not had the opportunity. Knowing there was something she wanted to say, Scott thought the time had come to have their talk. “You need to tell me what’s bothering you.”

Michelle showed none of the hesitation Scott had expected. “Last night, Beth and I were talking and she made the point that you and I started going to bed together to save our friendship. Her implication was that we didn’t let our relationship take its natural course. It didn’t make sense to her or me at the time. If Tom had never been in my life and you and I both had jobs in New Bern, would we have taken our relationship to the next level at this time?”

Scott was unhappy with the idea of Beth injecting herself into his relationship with Michelle and didn’t directly answer her question. “I don’t think Beth is in a position to know why we do what we do with each other and I don’t know that it’s really any of her business.”

Michelle felt she needed to explain her own thoughts as well as defend Beth’s idea. “Scott, I had been having the same thoughts as Beth. Is that what we are doing? Are we trying to make our relationship different so we don’t have to say goodbye to each other? Is that the only reason we are going to bed together?”

Scott did not care for the direction he thought their conversation was going so he offered a suggestion that might clarify what Michelle wanted. “Do you want us to go back to the way we were?”

Her answer came without thought or any sense of reluctance. “No, I don’t want to go back. I am very happy where we are, but I have to know that what you and I have going on between us is real and not temporary.”

Scott started smiling having gotten the answer he wanted. “Are you saying you want to get married?”

Michelle thought about his question. She did not want to go back to the way they were. She also was not ready to commit to marry him a week after having broken her engagement with Tom. Michelle knew he was not issuing a proposal when she put both arms around his waist and she replied with her devious smile. “I don’t know yet. I need to know that you can get the job done in the bedroom before I make a commitment to you.”

Scott began to rub her lower back as he held her close. “I didn’t hear any complaints from you last night.”

Michelle’s rebuke came quickly. “Last night was very nice for me, but that was fourteen hours ago.
