CHAPTER EIGHT

Alyssa

Overwhelmed does not describe how I’m feeling. Why the hell did I ever agree to this?

“Oh my god, Alyssa these are works of art,” says Amy, who quickly rushes on about how much Kathryn’s going to be surprised.

I was left with no choice but to tell her what I was working on when she stumbled into my make-shift studio claiming to be looking for something for our boss. I’m not sure I buy that, but making up another lie when my whole life here feels false didn’t feel right. So I swallowed my pride and told her all about Noah’s plans.

“I told you she was great,” says Noah.

Noah’s voice startles me and I have to resist the urge to shut the door in his face. It’s because of him that I’m now feeling cranky and stressed. Plus Amy just told me that Carol, my father’s business contact, is back in town. God, what’s with that woman? Not to mention I’m feeling sort of sexually frustrated. What Blake and I did five nights ago was totally amazing. For the first time in my life I can honestly say a man made love to me all night long. Just recalling how slow and passionate we were makes me blush. But I couldn’t do what he asked. Staying the night, being there in the morning when he woke would break my heart. I had to leave and claiming I’m swamped with business has kept him at bay. Maybe this breather is what we both need even though I know I can’t avoid him forever.

“There’s only ten and I think we should have five more,” says Noah, eyeing me like I’m about to jump on that idea.

I shake my head. “Nope. I’m done,” I say, bending down to pick up my display.

Noah stops me with a hand on my shoulder and since he’s not the touchy-feely type of guy I simply turn and glare at him.

“Alyssa, just five more, please. Maybe try going out of your comfort zone and go for people.”

I grind my teeth. “I don’t do people and I’m only doing this as a favor for you.”

“I know, I know, but how about trying it?”

I ignore both him and Amy who has jumped on the Noah bandwagon for me to create five more pictures while I bundle up my photos.

Noah steps in front of the door and dramatically drops to his knees. Amy laughs while I continue to glare at him.

“Five, that’s it. Please, I’m begging here. It won’t take you long,” he says, like he has any idea what it takes for me to create one of these photos.

“Noah, you don’t get it. I’m not taking pictures of people and five more means more hiking, more developing and you’ve got one week. We haven’t even got the frames built.”

Noah casts a look at me and then flashes me one of his charming smiles he uses on all the women who look his way. “Actually they’re all built. All fifteen of them.
