Dallas

The next morning, Tyler was worse.

For the sake of my own sanity, I slept with my back to Nicole, careful not to touch her at all throughout the night. Her accusation hurt, but I should have expected it. I did have a reputation. I was the playboy, the guy who got women to sleep with him for no reason at all except his own selfish pleasure. But she changed all that. Doesn’t she see that? I guessed she did, but had her doubts. I couldn’t blame her, not really. With everything that happened in the past two days, she was right to question me. Oh, I wanted her to have faith, to believe in me, but I knew she had her own relationship issues.

I could tell she had trouble trusting men just by the way she acted. She over projected her own confidence. I liked it, but it wasn’t the real Nicole. She was far shyer, far more reserved than she let on. It was when she was quiet that I could tell she did her real assessments of a situation. She was deadly with that sexy brain of hers. She also wasn’t a mindless intern I could manipulate. Not that I was trying. I knew better. She’d see right through it. Hell, I was brutally honest with her the night before and she still questioned my loyalty.

As much as I wanted to just tell her she was being dumb, I knew it would mean more to her if I showed her. So I told her enough to make her question herself and I planned on doing whatever was necessary to get her to believe me. She was worth the effort.

When Tyler complained of stomach pains, I knew he was in trouble. We had to get back to civilization. Fast. I had the basic equipment to make a stretcher, I just needed branches strong enough to hold him. I scoured the jungle until I found two long branches, each about three inches around. I trimmed the attached branches off and then went to work creating a stretcher.

Nicole spent most of the time with Tyler, wearing the bandana over her face at my insistence. When she came out of the tent, she hovered, watching me very closely.

“You’re like a modern day MacGyver,” she stated after watching me for a few minutes.

I scoffed. “You’re a little young to remember MacGyver.”

She turned her eyes to the trees. “My dad used to watch the reruns a lot.”

Touchy subject. “Technology is a pretty amazing thing.” I didn’t want to say anything to upset her, but I knew I couldn’t just stay silent.

“When I miss him, I watch it on Netflix. It brings back memories of sitting with him on our old couch, his arm around me as he dictated exactly what MacGyver would do to solve whatever problem. He’d seen every episode a few times, but I always thought he was the smartest guy – I mean, he basically predicted what would happen on the show before it even happened.
