me.”
    Tammy said, “Tell you what, go put on some dry, warm comfy clothes and I’ll make us some hot chocolate.
That’ll make you feel better.”
    “Aren’t you guys going out?”
    “Nah, I was planning to stay here all along. It’s
too wet out there, I’m not that desperate,” Hannah said with a laugh.
    Then Tammy added, “I am that desperate, but lazy. So
I decided not to go, either.”
    That made me laugh .
I agreed to change and have hot chocolate with them. I went in and put on a
green velour jogging suit and blow dried my hair. I pulled it into a pony-tail
and, now fresh-faced and warm and dry, I went back out where the girls were.
    Tammy handed me a cup and I saw that there were
mini-marshmallows floating on top and a stick of cinnamon inside the cup. It
was just like my mother made it for me when I was a kid. I almost started
crying again. I must have been hormonal
    “Thank you, Tammy. It looks yummy.” I sat down with
them and after taking a sip and letting the sweet, warm liquid get into my
veins and take away that deep, bone-chill I said, “I feel like a fool.”
    “What did he do?” Tammy asked.
    Hannah sat down across from us. She looked so
genuinely sympathetic that I didn’t want to look at her. I was afraid she’d
make the tears flow again. I looked at Tammy instead and said, “You guys are
right…but you know that. I am still seeing Tristan. Worse than that, I was
letting him stay with me. We decided to be exclusive a few months ago. I
thought things were going good until a few days ago when I found out he’d lied
to me about something pretty important. I don’t want to say what that was, it’s
his business to tell, but I was hurt. After a couple of days, I decided to suck
it up and be the bigger person. I went to him and I actually apologized for
accusing him of lying…although I know he lied. I’m an idiot.”
    Looking confused Tammy said, “So is that what you’re
upset about tonight?”
    With a sigh I told her, “No, it gets better…or worse,
I guess. I forgave him and we were supposed to hang out tonight. When I got
there and walked in he was sitting in a chair in nothing but a towel—with a
very naked Brooke in his lap.”
    Tammy raised her eyebrows. “Brooke? Contestant Brooke? That Ho!”
    Tammy was obviously not a Brooke fan. Hannah looked
thoughtful and said, “You said he knew you were coming? Why would he be messing
around with her when he knew you were going to walk in?”
    “I don’t know,” I said. “Either he’s that arrogant,
or that stupid, or I am. Maybe he thought if I’d forgive him for lying, I’d
forgive him for anything. Maybe he was just so horny he didn’t even consider
what I might think or how I’d react. Brooke knew about us a long time ago. She
tried to get in his pants and he said no. She threatened to tell and get me
fired…that was before I did get fired. Anyways, if he can sleep with her after
all that, he doesn’t care about me at all.”
    “Or, Brooke showed up to seduce him….” Hannah said
before Tammy interrupted her.
    “But he was in a towel…and Brooke was naked….”
    “What did he tell you happened?” Hannah asked. I
took another long drink of the hot chocolate. It felt good as it burned all the
way down.
    “He says nothing happened. He says he told her to
leave and she wouldn’t.”
    “And why was he in a towel?” Tammy asked.
    I shrugged. I hadn’t really asked him. Brooke could
have shown up as he got out of the shower. But why was she naked and why was
she on his lap? “The bottom line here, I think, is that Tristan’s a lot bigger
and stronger than Brooke. If he didn’t want her on him, fighting her off should
have been easy. Why would he let her get in his lap? He had a tent underneath
that towel, too, the bastard!”
    “Well, that probably means he didn’t fuck her,”
Tammy said, searching for the bright side.
    “Yet,” I added. “And if he had no intentions to
screw her, why was his dick as hard
