They laughed nervously.
“You’re hilarious, Reb,” Tauriel said.
“A real cut-up,” Fia added.
“I know. In your eyes I’m a gorgeous, sweet, kind, comedienne who you greatly admired.”
“Exactly,” Tauriel said.
“You’re that and more,” Fia rushed out.
“Fia!” Heidi called. “Tauriel. It’s game on. You’re holding us up.”
“Go,” Rebel ordered for the third fucking time.
Tauriel and Fia finally left. One last time, Rebel searched inside herself. She still hadn’t gotten back in the pool. She was uneasy in her room, though she was determined to overcomethat because she loved her suite so much. She didn’t have Rule and she and Diesel might not ever be close again. Her body was a part of her.Hers. She owned it. Not Willard and Wallace. Not Tio. Notanyone. She refused to allow those motherfuckers to take her agency away and make her ashamed of her body.
Fuck them.
Jana needed to stand up to Diesel. At the moment, there was only one way to do it.
Rebel went to Jana’s blanket and sat next to her. “How about you give them a run for their money. Make Diesel focus on you?”
“I could never,” Jana mumbled. “I don’t have their confidence.”
“You should. You’re really pretty. As pretty or prettier than them.”
“I’m not sexy like them.”
“How about we do it together?”
“Do what?”
One of those heifers squealed and the guys laughed. Rebel picked out Diesel’s because she’d know it anywhere.
“Steal Heidi’s thunder.”
“You could.”
Irritation surged into Rebel. “I’m desperately trying not to make this about me, Jana. You’re sad enough. I don’t want to use your pain to teach them a lesson. This is aboutyou. Diesel seeingyou.”
“But it’s his game.”
“My pussy’s yours, Diesel,” one of them called.
“Fuck my idea. Go over there and tell him how much they’ve hurt you.”
“You never even said what it was.”
“And I’m not going to. It was a bad idea anyway.”
“Suppose I t-tell him and he doesn’t leave?”
Both Jana and Rebel wore jeans and cashmere sweaters. Because Jana’s feet were bigger than Rebel’s, she wore sandals, while Rebel chose her favorite Uggs. Unfortunately, Dieselmightignore Jana when presented with so much tits and ass right in front his evil fucking face.
“I’ll try your idea,” Jana announced suddenly.
“You don’t know what it is,” Rebel reminded her.
