Chapter Twelve

Josie

School started tomorrow, and I should have been preparing.

I knew that, but I didn’t want to think about it.

Going to that school meant I wouldn’t be able to avoid Beck.

I would be in his element, in his kingdom, and there wouldn’t be a single place to hide.

But I couldn’t think about that today.

When Sam, the manager of the golf course, had begged for someone to pick up a last-minute shift on the course after someone called in, I quickly volunteered.

I needed the money, and I needed the distraction.

“I’m going to have you working at the desk this morning.” He ran his gaze over me. Sam was attractive. He was older than me, sure, maybe by half a dozen years or so, but he still had a boyish charm about him that I doubted he would ever lose.

I followed him through the club, having never really been to this side before, and I absently thought about Beck.

But he wasn’t worth my time.

I didn’t have time to worry about what Liz had said about him or what my father wouldn’t.

I wasn’t the girl who fell for the hot jerk simply because he had made me feel things I had never felt before. I was smarter than that.

Any experience I had before him didn’t feel like that. They had felt like fumbled, sloppy messes compared to Beck. I didn’t want to think about how much practice he had to have to be that impactful.

I wasn’t an idiot. I knew a guy didn’t know how to turn on a girl that well by sitting at home and twiddling his thumbs. And a guy who was that good with his mouth and a simple touch of his hands was not a guy who was also good with hearts.

That was plain and simple.

If I wanted to continue thinking about Beck Clermont, I needed to focus on how to avoid him. I couldn’t let thoughts of his cocky smile slip in or the way my heart hammered any time I saw him.

I didn’t have time to think about any part of him today. I was here to work, and I couldn’t afford to be distracted all day. Not by him or anyone else.

We rounded the corner toward the front desk, and I tightened my ponytail. If I could impress Sam today, then I could possibly get a job in his department in the future. I liked working in the dining room, but Allie had told me that working on the course paid a lot better. And that’s all I needed to focus on.

More money, more security.

“Mr. Clermont.” My head snapped up as Sam spoke his name, and I quickly peeked around him. Sure enough, the man who owned the club stood there in a blue polo and a pair of khaki shorts.

“Hello, Sam.” Mr. Clermont reached out and shook his hand before smiling at me.

“I didn’t realize you’d be here today, sir.” Sam seemed so nervous around him, and I realized that maybe I should be too.
