Chapter 0146

I drag my hand down my face and force myself to look at Kent. He’s looking right at me, of course, from his place outside theroom. Looking at me as I sit in the clothes he sent, having a movie night with his son.

“Is ita surprise?” Daniel asks, working hard to pull Kent's attention back to him. It doesn’t work. Kent keeps his eyes fixed on me.“I'm just having a nice evening in with my fiancé, after all,” Daniel continues. “What’s so surprising about that.”

Kent ignores his son. I shift uncomfortably under his gaze, looking down at the popcorn in my lap. I look up when I hear Kentspeak again.

“Well,” he says, his voice conclusive. “I wouldn’t want to interrupt. You two have fun.” He pauses, looking me straight in the eyefor a good ten seconds before turning slowly and striding away, perfectly in control. Daniel rudely slams the door after him.

“Daniel,” I sigh. “Do you have to be such a dick?”

“He’s being a dick, Fay!” Daniel explodes, throwing his hands in the air. “What he’s doing to you — how he’s treating you! I’msaving you from that!”

“Daniel,” I hesitate, looking at him with sorrow on my face. “Did you ever think that maybe...”He goes still, staring at me with his mouth open. I trace the design on my duvet, awkward.“Seriously?” Daniel breathes. “He got to you too?”

I look up at him, a little rueful. He did.

“Can we just...enjoy the night?” I sigh, gesturing towards the empty side of the bed. “You scared him away — isn’t that what youwanted?”

Daniel sighs too, putting his forehead in his hand and closing his eyes to think it through.

“Just come watch the movie with me” I plead softly. It breaks my heart to see my friend so upset, even though...well, eventhough I know that this isn’t going to end well for us. That if I start sleeping with his dad, things are forever going to be changedbetween Daniel and me.

And suddenly I decide that what I actually want — really — is one last real night with my best friend. While he’s my best friend.

Daniel nods then, perhaps coming to the same conclusion, and climbs back into the bed with me. I rest my head on his shoulderand he gives me a chaste little kiss on the forehead, both of us apparently deciding not to talk about it. Perhaps, in this case,silence is best.

We finish Clueless, and a couple more movies, before I eventually drift off to sleep with my head still on my friend’s shoulder.

But I swear, my last waking thought is to wonder what the hell would have happened, really, if I made Daniel go away. And calledKent back.

And let him peel this little fur robe from my shoulders and drop it to the floor.

I wake up the next morning to the sound of a knock on the door at six AM. I groan, blinking awake, and look sideways to seeDaniel doing the same in the bed next to me.

“Mornin’,” he murmurs to me, rubbing his eyes. When I get up, Daniel turns over onto this stomach, burrowing back into thepillows.

“Lazy,” I chide, smiling at him and heading for the door. “What, you don’t get up to receive your own clothes deliveries in themorning?”

“Clothes deliveries?” Daniel asks, peering at me. “Your clothes are delivered?”

I open the door and give thehousekeeper standing there a smile,accepting the folded plathes@halthewhjtewioxtiandath, My eyes raise atthat — the white box in the morning isnew. Then, I turn back to Daniel,frowning a little. “You don’t getclothes delivered?” Please read theoriginal content at .

“No, Fay,” Daniel says, sitting up and staring at me. I see him put it all together in his sleepy mind as I walk back to the bed. “Oh,gross, seriously? He picks out your clothes every day?”

“I kind of like it,” I say, shrugging andlaying out the clothes I’ve been s. et tossingtiwhite Boxat hoping Daniellea t ask about it. “Takes a lot ofpressure off of me. And he has goodtaste.” Please read the originalcontent at .

“It's so creepy, Fay,” Daniel whispers, scrunching his nose.

“He’s been doing it since I moved in,”I reply, nonchalant as I admire earnpretty blue Tonespaloped ba) sleeves that Kent senttoday. “I thought it was Fiona, at first,but she told me it’s him.” Please readthe original content at.
