As Iâd predicted, Will had spoken to the resort manager about taking me to the party, whoâd agreed to the request and even given me an allowance and time off to go to the main island to shop for something appropriate to wear.
Iâd had no idea what to buy for such a party, and Will wasnât able to come with me because he had a conference call heâd needed to attend. He just said that I could wear whatever I wanted and Iâd still look gorgeous.
As soon as I picked up my melted heart off the floor, I realized his compliment wouldnât help me whatsoever fitting in with the rest of the guests.
My hand shook as I pressed the bell on the door of Willâs villa. I looked down at my black chino trousers and white linen shirt.
When I looked up, bluer than blue eyes stared back at me.
âI love it when Iâm right,â Will said, his lips quirking on one side.
âShut up.â
A lot of the party guests had forfeited footwear in the spirit of the resortâs theme. Even though I felt like an interloper, seeing people walk around barefoot did relax me a little.
The party took up the decked area outside of the resortâs main restaurant leading all the way to the beach. I recognised some of the staff serving the drinks and waved at them. I was glad to get a few smiles back. Some even winked. Yup, I was a total interloper.
âIâll go get us a drink,â Will said, placing a gentle kiss on my cheek.
I stared at his figure as he walked over to the bar. Okay, fine, I stared at his ass, but who wouldnât? I was pretty sure his trousers were tailor made, but heâd look just as good in a pair of Leviâs.
âI thought this was an exclusive party.â
The hairs on the back of my neck rose as I turned around to face Paul.
âHow can I help you?â I said in the most neutral voice I could muster.
âOh, youâre working tonight,â he smirked.
I turned to leave, but he caught me by my arm.
âWhat do you want, Paul?â
âWhat do you think youâre doing here?â he spat. âYou think you belong in this world? You donât like fine dining; you donât like quality clothing.â
âWhatâs it to you? Arenât you here with your boyfriend?â I said, looking at where his much older partner stood in line for the bar. He seemed engaged in conversation with Will.
Will belonged here. The old man belonged here. Even Paul almost belonged here, in a messed up kind of way. Who was I kidding? There was no chance of Paul ever really believing Will and I were together.
âWe have an open relationship. I take care of his needs and he takes care of mine.â The way Paul talked about his relationship made my skin crawl. I may not belong in this world, but I would never talk about someone like that.
âYou are mistaking me for someone who cares, Paul. Now if you excuse me, Iâm going to join my boyfriend at the bar.
