Samantha leaned against the counter and watched Oliver pace.

She hadn’t expected him to be this pissed off. It made her feel a little bit better for her angry tears earlier. Her parent’s hurt she understood. Lily’s pettiness was a shock. Sam had been completely unprepared for it.

“I want to call Lily right now.”

“It won’t solve anything.” Sam had already thought about it. She’d even dialed her sister a few times but hung up every time.

“It’s not right!”

“And she will argue circles around you. She’s hurt.”

“Hurt? Her? Really? You’re standing up for her?” Oliver had removed his jacket and rolled his sleeves up. His tie hung askew and he’d pushed his fingers through his hair enough it was sticking up every which way.

Sam sighed. “She’s my sister. And something’s going on with her. I don’t know what, but this isn’t like Lily.”

“She should be more supportive.”

“I get where she’s coming from. You and I haven’t exactly been friends. Think about it. Lily probably thought she had dibs.”

“Dibs? Really? And do I get a say in this?”

“Oliver—that’s not what I’m saying.”

“You’re saying your sister has rights to me.”

“No, I’m trying to tell you that I understand why her feelings are hurt, not that she’s right. She didn’t know about us. No one did.”

“And what about my feelings?”

“Why are you trying to fight with me?” She’d been relieved to see Oliver on her doorstep, but now she wasn’t so sure anymore.

“Why are you changing the subject?”

“Because you’re pissed off about something and taking it out on me. I don’t like it.” Sam was about finished being trampled by people riding their high horses all over her.

“This is all a show to you, isn’t it?” Oliver stopped pacing, hands on his hips.

“This? You mean my life? Because yes, my life is now a three ring circus with popcorn.” She threw her hands up. A small voice in the back of her head was spouting reason about how this was a stressful situation, and they were bound to crack, but all she heard was Oliver’s tone. Yet another person wanting something from her. She was scraping the bottom of the barrel when it came to her emotions and what she had left to give.

Hadn’t she given enough already? What more did he want?

“No. Us.” Oliver crossed his arms over his chest.

“What us, Oliver? We didn’t even go on a date, we were just hanging out, and now we’re engaged. That’s not an us, that’s a publicity stunt.”

“That’s all I am to you? Good ratings?”

“No—Oliver.” She squeezed her eyes shut.

Nothing was simple when it came to her feelings for him. Especially not this situation, and they were spinning out of control. No, having sex wasn’t a good idea, neither was sleeping with him. Not when they weren’t able to be objective about things. Every single action had consequences and they needed to consider them before they acted.

“Then what are we?” His volume was amped up to ten, his voice booming off the marble and tile.

It was too loud.
