Chapter Sixteen
Unbelievably Pathetic
Cole
Noticing Dean raise his eyebrow at me, smirk affixed to his face, I reluctantly released Danny from the hug. Then I ignored Dean and set about making even more of an arse of myself in front of the woman to whom Iâd sent a shirtless picture the night before.
âYou smell really good.â It wasnât until the words were out of my mouth that I wondered if they were a little disquieting. I wasnât sniffing her or anything â the scent just wafted around me â but I hoped what Iâd said wouldnât make her uneasy.
âThanks,â she said with a little laugh. She didnât sound nervous so I counted that as a win. âIâm glad Iâm not all sweaty or youâd regret that hug big time.â
âMaybe I love sweat.â So happy those words left my mouth. The rest of the guys seemed to be dazzled by my smooth talking too if the expressions on their faces were anything to go by.
âGiven how we met up the second time, I guess that works out in my favour. I should probably explain. The reason I smell OK now, not sweaty â I hope â is because I just got changed in Deanâs room so I wasnât in my travel clothes. I left my bag there because I was going to get my own room but they were fully booked, so ââ
âDeanâs room?â I raised an eyebrow at him, annoyed and not entirely sure why that was the case.
She nodded. âYeah. Sorry, I know itâs weird that I turned up at your hotel with luggage and without warning you I was coming, but I wasnât hunting you down or anything. I just thought ââ
âNice of him to let you use his room.â I knew I was being a dick. And weird. A weird dick. But I couldnât help it. Danny had undressed in Deanâs room. If anything more than a quick change of clothes had taken place I was going to do something drastic. I wasnât much of a fighter, so I guess Iâd have to hit Dean with the silent treatment. Thatâd show him.
Danny shifted uncomfortably. Crap. Iâd made her feel awkward. âUh, yeah. But Iâm happy to go to a different hotel or whatever. I didnât mean to just show up and dump this on you.â
âI told Danny not to be silly because you ended up getting upgraded to a suite so you have a spare room anyway,â Dean said, his gaze sharp.
Oh. Right. He hadnât been trying to get her to stay with him. Heâd been trying to get her to stay with me. Given what heâd said to me yesterday, I suppose that made more sense.
âOf course. Stay with me tonight. In the spare room.â
âItâs OK if you want me to go. I know it probably seems ominous, me showing up unannounced like I want to collect your chest hair for witchcraft or something while you sleep ââ
âI donât want you to go. Really. Stay.â Fingers crossed that sounded charming and not like I was ordering her around.
