Chapter Seventeen

The next morning, Belle wandered over to Kyle and Andrew’s. As always, the door was unlocked in anticipation of her arrival. It was one of the first things they did as soon as they came downstairs each morning and before they started the coffee. Belle let herself in and headed back to the kitchen. Andrew stood at the stove attending to breakfast. She kissed him on the cheek.

“Good morning, sunshine! How was your da—oh Lord.” He stopped mid-sentence when he got a good look at Belle’s appearance.

Belle hadn’t even bothered to change out of her pajama pants, and her hair was in a ratted nest on the top of her head. “Hey.” She grabbed a cup and poured herself some coffee.

“Babe! Kyle? Will you come in here for a sec?” Andrew hollered out the patio door to Kyle who sat reading the paper.

Belle added too much sugar and milk to her coffee, but she needed it. When she turned around, Kyle and Andrew stood side by side and stared at her. “What?”

“Um, sweetie. Did you even attempt to wash your makeup off last night?” Kyle asked.

“Or this morning?” Andrew added.

Belle swiped under her eyes, and only when she pulled back black smudged fingers did she realize that, in fact, she hadn’t done either. “It would appear not.”

“Oh wow. Okay. Why don’t you go get one of my Olay wipes and take care of that while I put breakfast out?” Andrew said as he took her by the shoulders and pointed her toward the bathroom.

“It’s not that bad.” Belle wasn’t used to wearing makeup, or at least enough to worry about if she forgot to wash it off before bed. When she got to the bathroom, she changed her tune. “Holy crap! I’m a wreck.”

She washed and dried her face, then took her hair down and gave it a good brushing before she smoothed it back into a neat ponytail. Human again, she went back out to the kitchen. Belle grabbed her cup off the counter and went to sit at the patio table with Kyle.

“It’s alive.” Andrew kissed her on the forehead before he set her plate in front of her.

“Sorry about that. I just sorta stumbled over here as soon as I got out of bed. I didn’t even brush my teeth first.” Belle covered her mouth in disbelief.

“Well, we know you weren’t out late. So what happened?”

What happened? Nothing. That’s what happened. “Oh, you know, turns out I should’ve trusted my instinct.”

“What?” Kyle asked.

“We’re too different. She just wants a good time, no commitment. Just like I figured.”

“Okay. So what’s the problem with that?” Andrew asked.

“That’s not what I want. At all. She is the complete opposite of what I want.”

“In what way?” Kyle asked.

Belle laughed. “Every way? Let’s just say she isn’t the settling down type.”

Andrew groaned and Kyle rolled his eyes. “Seriously?”

“What? Yes, seriously! That is a problem. I don’t want someone whose one goal is to sleep with every woman in Orlando. And besides
