The rest of my break with Edward passes quickly.
He is nice, charming, funny.
I'm confused why he sought me out, then I remind myself to enjoy it while it lasts.
Because it won't last long.
I'm right. When he leaves there's no exchange of phone numbers.
A week later Rosalie calls and asks to meet me for drinks. I have to remind her I'm not old enough.
Instead, she invites me over for Chinese at her apartment. I'm unsure if I should accept the invite, but something about Rose tells me she doesn't like it when people tell her no.
It's not just Rose and me for dinner. Her cousin Jasper's wife, Alice, joins us as well.
She's small and bubbly and smiles brightly.
I'm quiet as we eat and they chat, but my ears perk up when Rosalie mentions Edward.
"He went on another date with Jessica last night. I think it went well, he was late for work this morning," Rosalie snickers. "You should have seen the way his assistant was acting this morning. Totally in a foul mood because she's had the hots for him since she started."
"I guess he's over Kate now?" Alice asks.
"I hope so," Rosalie says. "At least maybe on the way to being over her.
As I listen to them, I grow...jealous? I don't like this Kate that has a hold on him. I don't like Jessica for at least sparking his interest.
I had no hold on him. He didn't ask for my number or say he would see me around.
I feel sick.
If you celebrate it, Merry Christmas! Only one today and maybe one tomorrow, yes? Thanks for all the reviews, faves and alerts!
