CHAPTER TEN

It Ends With A Kiss

There’s a sticky note on the door that has “We’ll talk when you’re home” written in Maya’s handwriting. Wow, is she overconfident. I snatch it off the wood, crumple it up, and throw it in the kitchen trash can.

It’ll actually be good to get out tonight to see if there are any hotspots to write about, but I’m still obsessing over the bathtub upstairs. Every girl has her vice, and mine is a scrumptious bath. Before I program myself another hot bubble bath, I email Dusty Burrows and pitch my new idea to him while telling him why Martha’s Vineyard isn’t suited for the taxicab series. I have a message from my mom, but I’ll open it later. She’s probably just checking in; she does that once in a blue moon.

I notice some changes as I stand between the bedroom and bathroom. The bed has been made, the sink and tub have been scrubbed, and a lemony-fresh scent lingers. Belmont’s housekeepers must’ve come while I was out.

I hurry over to the vanity and pick up my cell phone to ask him to join me, but then I reconsider. I still don’t have the extra time to be sidetracked by Belmont Lord. I’ll wait until tomorrow to apologize for my overreaction and tell him that, beyond reason and without a doubt, I love him. Tomorrow has to be dedicated to crashing weddings and taking enough photos and gathering enough details to send something a little more solid to Dusty. If Dusty refuses to accept my new angle, then I’ll pitch it elsewhere. Decision made, I strip out of my jeans, T-shirt, and underwear and ease into the tub.

I could choose to read the New York Times or listen to Billie Holiday, but instead I close my eyes and think about how naked I am. I still don’t understand why Belmont is so turned on by me. I’ve never gotten the general fascination men have with a woman’s anatomy. They’re just breasts and butts and arms and legs and whatever else they find so tantalizing. Men have the same body parts, for goodness’ sakes! I can’t deny how he makes me feel—desired, needed, and more beautiful than I thought I could ever be. Finally, I feel like a woman.

Memories transport me back to yesterday. The ocean water was cold, but our mouths were delicious and warm as we kissed against the jagged rock. As I relive that moment and simper, the doorbell chimes.

My eyes pop open and my heart pounds. Who in the world could that be? It can’t be Belmont or Charlie because neither of them is big on ringing or knocking. According to Maya’s Post-it note, she and Adrian have shipped out. Although she could be staging a fake-out, but I think she’s gone.

Maybe it is Belmont. Instead of coming right in, he’s allowing me to make first contact by unlocking the door and inviting him in. Am I ready to sacrifice my plans for tomorrow to make love to him tonight?

Absolutely!

I stand so fast my head turns dizzy.
