Chapter Fifteen

Ben

“You’ve got it bad, bro.”

I was at the airport with Eden waiting for her flight back home. It was a week since Georgia had moved her stuff into the barn and made it into a cool studio. A week since I’d covered those luscious breasts and put the brakes on what had to be the hottest make out session I’d ever had.

A week of endless fucking cold showers.

I glanced at my sister and scowled, but she just smiled and shook her head.

“Bad,” she repeated.

“No thanks to you.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Don’t play games, Eden. You made it pretty much impossible for me to get Georgia alone all week.” She opened her mouth to say something but I didn’t give her the chance. “No, don’t bother denying it. I just don’t get why.”

“You need to be careful, Ben.”

I frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Eden shrugged and grabbed her bag off the floor as her flight was called to board. “Don’t get me wrong. I like her but she’s holding something back. I can’t figure it out and I just…”

I got to my feet and shoved my hands into the front pockets of my cargo shorts. “You just what?”

She glanced at the ticket counter and sighed. “I don’t want you to get in too deep with her until...” At my raised eyebrows she paused, her brows furrowed. “I’m serious, Ben. I can’t read her. She’s really good at deflecting and I don’t know where she’s at. I don’t know anything about her all, except that she lives with her brother and she dropped out of college. Don’t you find that kind of weird?”

“College isn’t for everyone, Eden.”

“That’s not what I mean and you know it. I don’t know anything else about her. She never talks about her family or her friends. Doesn’t she have any girlfriends? She paints a lot and yes, she’s talented but what are her goals? Is she just going to fill up your barn with her paintings and leave them there for the mice to admire? I’m not the one sleeping with her so that’s fine if she doesn’t want to share that shit with me, but you? Has she shared any of that stuff with you?”

My scowl deepened. I hated that my sister hit the nail right on the head. I knew nothing. Fuck, I didn’t even know who this Seamus guy was and she was seeing him today. I tried to talk her into coming with me to the airport. I said after Eden’s flight left I’d take her anywhere she wanted to go. To the beach. Golfing. A bar. Anything.

She laughed. Said she couldn’t and told me not to worry. Seamus was just a friend. And besides, she’d just be in the way.

“I know this is serious for you, Ben. I see it. Shit, you can’t keep your eyes off of her. But with Georgia…” she shrugged. “Unless she’s willing to share everything with you, I don’t see this working out. You’re not the kind of guy who does things half way.
