Chapter 4 or...

Where the truth lies.

Knox, contrary to everyone’s expectations, did not return to where he had come from. Coming for his father’s wedding was one side of the coin of truth, the other, the fact he had used all of the rest of his money to do so, buy the suit, a hotel for the night and a meagre present. He had, much like his father a few months before, lost his job. In fact, he’d lost it almost a year before, scraping along and making do with odd modelling assignments and bit part acting roles that had all but dried up in the face of a sweeping crisis in the film industry at the tail end of a recession. Knox had gone to California initially to pursue a dream as an actor and screenwriter, and ended up like almost everyone else, working in a bar to make ends meet. After the wedding, he didn’t seem to be in any rush to head back, mostly because he didn’t have enough money to do so. He said a break from the frontline would be a good thing to get his head together, and besides which, he hadn’t seen his father for a long time, Cory never having enough money to make the long journey out there, so it would be a good chance for them to catch up on lost time. My mom saw it as a perfect opportunity for us to spend some quality time together, and for the reasons I have already mentioned, I had absolutely no objections. I was smart enough to know that even if I couldn’t touch, I could definitely look. If you live with someone, that opens up a whole realm of possibilities. Accidentally catching someone in a compromising position, seeing someone in the shower when you shouldn’t, late night games of strip poker... You get the idea.

When Knox mentioned it, none of us had any objections.

You may think a guy without money isn’t appealing, right? Like in order to be sexy and attractive they have to be billionaires with fast cars and stacks of cash in the bank. Well real love doesn’t work like that, and I’m a simple girl. Money can’t buy you looks, no matter what the best cosmetic surgeons in the world say. It can’t buy you charisma, sexiness, personality and nor can it buy you the best thing of all, the secret formula that makes the most fuckable of people exactly that, the most fuckable. That secret ingredient that brings two people together like magnets. The one problem I had with Knox, was that the force that was pushing us apart, the fact we were now, legally speaking, and in the eyes of God step brother and sister, was stronger than the one pulling us together. Or at least the one pulling me towards him. I still had no idea how he felt about me, but deciding to stick around was definitely a step in the right direction, if you can excuse the pun.
