Chapter 12

Why hadn’t Brooke thought of this before? Giancarlo would be the perfect date for Eileen. Even with all the distractions tonight, Brooke couldn’t ignore the obvious.

Giancarlo was a family man, a kind man, a generous man, and a man who should be the spokesperson for handsome older men. Maybe she should have told Billy the entire truth. She hadn’t just given Giancarlo her personal cellphone number for business purposes, but so that she could arrange a meeting between him and Eileen. The rest would be up to them.

Of course, eventually she’d tell Billy, but the timing had to be right. First it was up to Eileen to share that information with her son. She couldn’t wait to call Eileen and talk up Giancarlo. She’d been patient, and now Brooke had a winner behind door number one.

“What are you thinking about? Not still thinking about the blog?” Billy asked as he slid the key in the ignition.

Well, she hadn’t been but now her attention was right back on that subject. So many hurdles to overcome. Life should be easier. “What will Gigi do when she finds out about it?”

“Who cares?”

“I do. She’ll get to be right. She didn’t believe it when we told her we weren’t interested in each other.”

“And now?”

She’d walked right into that one. Was he going to make her say it out loud? Make her say how she thought about making love to him every night and sometimes during the day? What it would feel like to be under, or on top of, Billy Turlock? Not that she was picky about the position.

But she didn’t want to be another woman in his long list of conquests. No, it didn’t matter any longer what anyone else thought. Her opinion was the only one that mattered. And she didn’t want to be added to the list. Period.

“I think it’s pretty obvious we’re attracted to each other.” She folded her arms across her chest and tried not to look at him as she said the words. Didn’t want to see his smug little grin.

“I agree.”

“But I’m not going to sleep with you, Billy. I don’t want to be one of your many female conquests.” There. She’d said it, and let the chips fly where they may.

The car veered off the highway so quickly she thought they’d had a flat tire. Billy turned to her. “Dammit, Brooke, is that what you think of me?”

Fantastic. Pissed-off Billy was even sexier than always-smiling Billy. She knew this, and still she’d poked the bear. “C’mon, I—”

“I thought I told you not to believe what you read. I didn’t date half of the women who claimed I did.”

“But even if you dated half of them—”

“Look, I have a past. It’s not nearly as illustrious as the rumors. But this is different, you and me.”

“No, it’s not. I’m just someone you want now because you never had me.” Back in high school, there’d been that undercurrent between them. That nameless something that led to the first and only time they’d kissed in the school parking lot.
