KAT: How can I be both exhausted AND wired?
BAILEY: You’ve had a hell of a week—how did today go?
KAT: It was great, honestly. Tom was so helpful and I felt taken care of.
KAT: I thought he’d be in the way or that I’d feel like I did when my parents or Colt were with me, but he was perfect
BAILEY: I really love that
BAILEY: You deserve to have someone there to support you
KAT: He’s being paid
BAILEY: So would an assistant
I don’t really havea response to that because she’sright. Luckily, she changes the subject.
BAILEY: Have you talked to your brother?
KAT: No
KAT: It’s not that I’m mad at him but I just feel like he completely took the decision out of my hands. I didn’t have a say, Bailey. He just got me a bodyguard
BAILEY: At least he got you a hot one
BAILEY: How old is he again?
KAT: At least ten years older than me
BAILEY: Which is perfect because you don’t go for younger men anyway
KAT: I’m not dating my bodyguard
BAILEY: The lady doth protest
KAT: And the lady will continue protesting because nothing is happening
Memoriesof me running into him in the hall on our first night together have a delicious little shiver racing down my spine. I’d written something similar into my manuscript because it was too good to ignore.
The tension and the constantwill they, won’t theyis the stuff author dreams are made of and again, if I’m not getting laid, my characters definitely should be.
BAILEY: Fine…
BAILEY: Are you ready for this weekend?
KAT: Yes, I just have to find something to wear
BAILEY: Maybe you should do a fashion show for Tom and see what he thinks
KAT: I can already imagine his blank expression that pairs so nicely with the exasperated sigh that seems to happen every time I’m around
BAILEY: Maybe that’s how he flirts
I snort,the sound so much louder in the stillness of the night.
KAT: Doubt it
KAT: And now I need to try and get some sleep
