Chapter Six

Sher

While I sat in my living room, thinking of my conversation with Am, my visitor bell chimed. I rose and walked over to the small monitor mounted on the side of the wall. Janine stood in the lobby, looking angry. Oh, hell. I was not in the mood for another showdown that night, but I couldn't very well pretend I wasn't home. Well, I could, but it would only be putting off the inevitable confrontation.

I took a deep breath before pushing the intercom. "Janine—"

"We need to talk, Sher. Right now."

"Come on up," I said and pressed the button to release the lobby door lock. Then I paced the floor until she rang the bell outside my door. After glancing out the peephole to make sure it was her, I opened the door.

"Janine—"

"How could you?" she asked, pushing past me.

Oh hell. Shane had obviously made his lack of interest obvious and she now wanted to blame me. I closed the door and walked past her into the living room.

She followed me. "Well? What do you have to say for yourself, Sherlyn?"

Her tone suddenly pissed me the hell off. I turned to face her. "About what?"

"About how you stabbed me in the back with Shane Reddorn! He tried to deny it, but that must have been one hell of a dinner you two had last night. When did it end? Sometime this morning?"

"If you're implying that we spent the night together, we didn't!"

"Then why is he interested in you instead of me?"

I'd had a rough day and I just didn't feel like taking anymore shit from anyone. Her implication that no man could possibly prefer me was the end. Don had preferred me to her. As had Darkwater and clearly Shane. "Maybe because I actually have a personality and don't need anyone else to sing my praises to get a date with the man of my choice!"

She recoiled. "Are you implying I have no personality?"

"No, Janine. I'm coming right out and saying it! It's not my fault he prefers me to you. I tried to get him interested in you—"

"When? Between attempts to titillate him yourself? Every damned time he opened his mouth he found a reason to mention you. You might not have slept with him last night, but I'll bet you came pretty damned close! What did you do? Give him a blowjob?"

I sucked in a breath and stared at her. I was angry and afraid. I know I should have admitted the truth, but certain our friendship hung in the balance, I wimped out and shook my head. "I tried to steer him to you—just as I've always done when you asked me to. It's not my fault it didn't work."

She stared at me with an angry look in her eyes until she spotted Don's picture still lying in the twisted frame. "What happened?" she asked in a cool voice.

I shrugged. "Darkwater tossed it against the wall in a fit of...something."

"Oh. I see. So because you can't have
