continue what he started. Gunner, though, was the craziest motherfucker on this planet. How he passed his psychological evaluations, I will never know. Although, it may also be why he was no longer enlisted. Pulling back from the wall, I took my washer and poured some body wash into it. I slowly ran it over my skin and kept working through my list of people.
Hearing a knock on my hotel room door, I ignored it for now. Lucas knew to call me if he needed me, and so far my phone was silent, so whoever it was could wait. Or so I thought. Hearing the knocking again, only louder this time, I shut off the water and grabbed my towel. Wrapping it around my waist, I checked my phone real quick just to make sure I wasn’t opening the door to a pissed off Lucas. Well, he could still very well be but for a different reason. I moved to open the door and raised a brow with an unimpressed look on my face.
Seeing Jasmine standing there, I dropped the look. “Jazzybell?”
“We going to get you your girl back, or what?” She gave me a shit eatin’ grin and moved past me.
“How the hell?”
“Timmy, Timmy, Timmy. I know my girl. She is going to do what she thinks is right just to make everyone else happy, despite the fact that she is miserable. She may say she wants Morgan, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that is just because she doesn’t want to hurt him. There is no future there. We are going to see that this little thing between them ends sooner rather than later.”
I couldn’t help the smirk that crossed my face. See, this was why I loved this girl. She was an evil genius, but she was going to get me my girl back. “So where do we start?”
“You need to get dressed. Lucas will be here in a minute, then we have some work to do.”
I gave her a nod and moved to my suitcase. Pulling out jeans and a clean shirt, I got dressed in the bathroom and moved back into the room just as the door opened and Lucas walked in.
“A good day to break up a relationship…that isn’t technically a relationship.” I couldn’t help the snort. Let’s do this.
CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Maddie
After leaving Tim’s room, Morgan and I went back to my room so that I could shower and change before we went to explore the Gold Coast for the day. As we were leaving the hotel, I could have sworn that I saw Jasmine in the lobby. When I frowned, Morgan asked me if I was okay. Shaking it off, I nodded and kept heading for the car. Daniel was on duty today, and I couldn’t help but feel a little relieved by that. I wasn’t sure that I was ready to see Tim just yet.
“Morgan?”
“Hmm?”
“Is the offer to send Tim away still open?”
“Nothing would give me more pleasure. Is it what you really want, though?”
I shrugged my shoulders and looked out the window. “I don’t know. Not sure I can see him right now.”
“And you won’t, Angel. I will make it so that Daniel or Lucas has watch until you tell me with one-hundred percent certainty that you want him gone. I don’t want to share you with anyone, Maddie, and I won’t, but if you decide that this isn’t what you want then you need to be sure. I really like you, and can see myself falling for you, but I won’t open myself up to be hurt. Even if they do make the best country songs.” He chuckled softly and I gave him a small smile.
I chewed on my lip when his hand moved to squeeze my knee softly. I couldn’t help but look down at his hand. I should feel something, shouldn’t I? A spark? Butterflies? Anything… I felt nothing though. I looked up at Morgan, who was watching me, and gave him another small smile. “I will let you know when I do, babe.”
Morgan and I spent the day at a water park and loved every minute of letting our hair down. Water slide races, goofing off in the pools. I really think it’s what we needed. We got dropped off back at the hotel and headed back upstairs.
