* * *

I end up staying the night at a hotel in Los Angeles. It’s too many hours logged in the car back and forth just to sleep in my bed and turn around to do it all over again.

I’m about to lie down when I get the strongest urge to call Kylie, and so I do. I pace back and forth as I dial the phone, a strange feeling attacking me right in the chest as I wait for her to answer.

“To what do I owe the pleasure of a call from my most famous client?” she answers.

I chuckle. Just missing you. I shake that thought out of my head. “I was just lying here in bed thinking about the women from tonight and trying to categorize who I like the most. I thought maybe you could help me sort it out.”

“Go for it,” she says. Her tone is flat, and I read way too much into it.

“Do you not want to help?” I ask. Maybe I should’ve called Brody with this.

“Of course I do. It’s what you pay me to do.”

Right. It’s what we pay her to do. It’s not because she wants to talk this out with me.

“What are you thinking?” she asks, her voice softening.

“I think so far my frontrunners are Poppy, Lexy, Eden, and Talia.”

She clears her throat. “Not Melanie?”

“Definitely not. Anyone who sells me out is off the list.”

“Fair enough,” she says. “Have you confronted her?”

“No. It’s like the producers are purposely keeping us apart so I can’t.”

“Ah. Who went home tonight?”

I’m not really supposed to say, but I do anyway. “Amanda.”

“The one who still lives with her baby daddy ex?”

“Yeah.” I stop pacing in front of the window and stare out at the lights illuminating downtown Los Angeles.

“Shocker.” She giggles and I give a manly sort of giggle myself, and when the laughter fades, a few beats of awkward silence pass between us.

And that’s when I hear a voice in the background. “Kylie?” A decidedly male voice.

That weird feeling that raced around my chest as I dialed her number shoots down into my stomach. “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you had company.” Male company.

She clears her throat. “No, it’s fine. It’s just—”

I cut her off. “I’ll talk to you Thursday, okay?” I end the call before she has a chance to tell me that she’s seeing somebody. This way’s easier. I can pretend it’s nothing, no big deal. I can pretend she’s at her apartment by herself.

Thinking of me.

It’s naïve and stupid and I don’t even know why I’m having those thoughts when I’m off in Los Angeles competing for love on a reality show.

And as much as I want to believe it’s a brother or just a friend or whatever, it’s one in the morning. Brothers and friends don’t call a woman’s name—not like that, anyway—at one in the morning.
