Jealous?
Duncan
Fuck ya! I feel like you just gutted me. That man gets to spend time with my girl.
Me
Stop. I sleep with you and work with him. Besides, he isn't into relationships.
Duncan
All guys are into you.
Me
Well, just for that, I won't try to fly to Paris next week when I'm off.
Duncan
Wish you could, baby, but we're heading to Nice, France. Sorry.
Me
Okay, well, I gotta run. Text me tomorrow.
Duncan
Okay, baby. Good night.
I runinto the Southern cuisine restaurant to see James taking a seat in a booth across the way. I point to him and bypass the hostess. He stands and hugs and kisses my cheek.
"Have you heard from Ana at all?" I ask right away. Shenever texted me back after I got home. I know she's on her honeymoon, but this is so not like her. Duncan and I have discussed this and he's worried too.
"No, but they're probably having a good time. Barcelona is beautiful in the summer."
"I guess. It’s just not like her."
"Her life has changed. Jonathon is her priority now. Someday they’ll have a child. Just like someday you’ll be married too."
"Not likely."
"Okay, I'll change the subject. Have you been up to Boston lately?"
"No, I've been so busy with work."
"I've been so busy too. I was thinking of heading that way after my meetings tomorrow to see him."
"How are your meetings so far?"
"Good. I'm working with the Israeli delegation to have a delegation set up next month along with a ball. I'm hoping this will ease tensions after what happened a couple weeks ago. I heard you were the sniper on that call."
"Yeah. I was just doing my job."
"I heard they’re talking about bringing in David Harel to lead their security."
"I'll have to make the time to see him while he's here if he does."
"How’s Derek?"
