Chapter Eight

It was three in the morning, a week later, and Madison was in bed staring at the ceiling wondering why Tyree wasn’t at home yet. She had tried to sleep, but only tossed and turned for more than an hour. Her thoughts were not allowing her to get any peace. She kept picturing Tyree before he had left for the banquet.

She remember her lungs seizing up when he had first entered the TV room dressed in his black tuxedo. The jacket fit snuggly across his broad shoulders, his pants weren’t quite as snug, but no less arousing. She would have been very proud to have been on his arm tonight, however, Monica got that privilege.

Rolling onto her stomach, she sighed and punched her pillow. She knew she had to stop thinking about what Tyree was doing. It did her no good to want something he wasn’t ready to give. It was time to move forward for herself. No more sex with Tyree or anybody for that matter. With that thought foremost in her mind, she finally succumbed to sleep.

The smell of bacon tickled Madison’s nose, causing her to smile as she opened her eyes. So, somebody made it home and he was cooking breakfast—probably for Monica. The smile slipped from her lips at that thought. She looked at the bedside clock, seven-twenty. Deciding to face the day straight on, she rolled out of bed, and went to freshen up.

Once seated at the breakfast bar, she was presented with a plate of food. It was piled high with bacon, eggs, grits, and toast. “I can’t eat all of this, Ty”

“Yes you can,” Tyree replied as he sat down beside her. Studying her for a minute, he said, “It looks like you were the one out partying last night.”

She didn’t want him to know that she was up most of the night thinking about him and his adventures, she teased, “I was. Got wasted all by myself.”

He started digging into his food. “Too bad. A woman should never get wasted alone.”

Seeing the amusement in his eyes, she smiled. “You would say something like that.”

He returned her smile, but remained silent. He knew she wasn’t happy about him going out with Monica, but he didn’t make any promises to be exclusive. Nonetheless, he knew he needed to smooth her ruffled feathers. “Mad, you know—”

“No need to explain anything,” she interrupted. “I know I have no claim on you and it’s cool. It was time for us to slow down anyway.”

Not liking the way this was headed, Tyree interjected, “I know you’re right, and I don’t want anything to hurt our friendship.” He put his fork down and grabbed her hand. “Mad, hope you don’t feel like I used you. I love you very much, but not in the way you deserve.”

She pulled her hand free. “It’s okay. I knew what I was getting into anyway.” Trying to make light of the conversation, she added, “Besides, I don’t think it’s time to get into any kind of relationship with this thing with Ron still hanging over my head.
