Chapter 12

Danielle

That was an intense weekend.

Who knew that so much could be packed into two days, especially when those two days were spent confined to a ten-by-fifteen-foot room?

I need to tell Piper about Kirk. I can’t believe I have kept this news from her for so long. I start to get pains in my stomach at the thought of keeping something so big from the person I call my best friend. What if it’s been too long? What if she gets angry with me for lying to her and I lose her over a guy? My lies are snowballing and are reaching avalanche proportions. I mean, I did tell her I was going clubbing with the girls again this weekend, which I obviously did not do. What if she runs into one of them and they tell her no one saw me? What if Piper calls the fake number I gave her along with the fake photo of the fake guy I “went home with” as part of her security protocol.

Eeek! What if Kirk finds out I sent a fake message about a fake guy?

Oh my god. I’m a fake. I’m a total fraud. I have been living a complete lie for the last five weeks and it’s all coming apart at the seams. I am losing it. “It” being the moral code that I have been living by for the last fifteen years, not to mention my reputation. Poof! Just like that. One smile from a sexy cowboy and I’m done for. Okay, one smile that led to a lot of orgasms, which led to my downfall as a stalwart for strong, single women everywhere.

I grip the steering wheel and focus on driving for a few minutes, trying to calm my mind down.

“Let’s think rationally, Danielle,” I say it out loud because speaking to one’s self out loud when alone is completely rational. “Piper is going through her own shit with Chad right now. She’s not paying attention to anything going on around her.” I can keep up the charade with her until I know when I’ll get my holidays. As soon as I know my dates, I’ll tell her where I’m going. She’ll be thrilled for me because unlike me who keeps everyone at arm’s length on the off chance that they could hurt me, Piper lets anyone into her heart and deals with the fallout when it comes. I’m the doomsayer and she’s more the utopian type. That’s what makes us such good friends. We’re perfect opposites.

I’m not a liar by nature, but I am surprisingly okay with my plan. I never thought I would be happy cuddling on the couch instead of grinding on the dance floor. Turns out, I’m still getting a lot of grinding in, just in a different venue.

With that still at the forefront of my mind, I pull up to my rental suite and park my car. I’m still sitting out front when I text Kirk to tell him I made it home safe and sound in my little car.
