after David.”
    “Yeah coz you have such a time-honored tradition of not going after my boyfriends. Or wait, you prefer to hold on until we are engaged to be married before you swoop in right?”
    Deb didn’t say anything and in the silence that followed, Sherina shut her eyes, feeling a lot like a heel.
    “You are right not to trust me, but I do hope you would let me try to win back your trust.”
    Sherina turned away, traipsing into the kitchen with angry jerky steps.
    Deb followed her still talking, “So David has not shown up in days. Aren’t you going to check on him? I mean if I’m inconveniencing you I’ll move out.”
    “I don’t know where he lives so I can’t really check on him.”
    “How long have you dated?” Deb asked.
    “About three months,” Sherina replied absently.
    “Okay Sherina I know you have no reason whatsoever to trust me, but if a man doesn’t want you to know his house after three months of dating... well I would worry.”
    Silence.
    “Sherina? Did you hear what I just said?”
    “Yeah. Good thing I don’t trust you huh?”
    “I think David is hiding something,” Deb insisted.
    “Deb? Shut it!” she snapped.
     
     
     
     

CHAPTER NINE
    “David?”
    “Hmm?” he replied sleepily, pulling Sherina tighter against his hard muscular chest as they lay entwined in naked splendor atop her sheets at her house three nights later.
    “Why don’t we ever go to your house?” she asked, stroking his chest.
    The muscles in David’s chest tensed beneath her palm and then jumped reflexively. His reaction worried her; what if he was hiding something? Oh God what if Deb had been right?
    Her eyes flew to his chiseled features and she surprised a frown in his eyes. He smoothed out his features almost immediately, but not before she had read the expression in his eyes.
    “You don’t want me to know where you live? David we have been together for a little more than three months; you practically live here. I can’t keep being in the dark. What are you keeping from me?”
    “Nothing,” he replied, not meeting her eyes. “If you want to come know my house so much, we’ll work out something. I didn’t realize it was such a big deal,” he added with a careless shrug and a warm intoxicating smile that did nothing to ease her worries.
    Sherina sat back down, her mind in a whirl as she wondered what David was hiding from her; she didn’t believe for a minute that he wasn’t hiding something. Oh Lord, what if he was married? She shut down the panicked question before it took hold.
    “Fine. Glad we are on the same page. So when exactly will we be there?”
    “Just give me a moment Sherina, please.”
    Sherina rolled her eyes; he hadn’t called her Sherina in months either.
    This ‘knowing his house’ business was starting to get big!
    ***
    Breakfast was a strained, silent affair and even Deb looked uncomfortable as she looked from Sherina’s face to David’s. As soon as he was done with his meal, David shoved away from the table and cleared the doorway in record time without giving Sherina a kiss on his way out the door.
    Sherina chewed slowly on her toast, deliberately avoiding Deb’s eyes. The last thing she wanted to discuss was her relationship because she was starting to fear that it was going down the toilet.
    “Do you mind if I follow you to the office today?” Deb asked.
    “Huh?” Sherina asked, looking up in the middle of absently buttering a slice of toast.
    “I just need human contact. I mean you and David are awesome but I have been here over two weeks and you’re all the human contact I have had. I need to get out a little.”
    “I see your point,” Sherina commented. “Perhaps you could take a walk after the office.”
    “I have always wanted to see Central Park; get what all the fuss is about firsthand,” Deb said as she began to clear away the dishes.
    Sherina offered her a weak smile and fled to her room. She was almost late to work she realized as she
