wearing a simple but very pretty white sundress that accentuates her soft curves and shows off her tanned legs.
    “Good morning,” I greet her with a smile. I hope this isn’t awkward since I kissed her last night. It was just a peck on the cheek but I get the feeling I need to be very careful with Sophie.
    I don’t know what happened to her before she came to Rockport but I can tell she is still pretty shaken by whatever it is. The last thing I want is to scare her off. The surprised look on her face tells me I’m not off to a great start, but luckily it doesn’t disrupt her features for long.
    “Good morning, Chase,” she greets me quietly, giving me a small smile. I hold out her coffee and watch her smile grow noticing those kissable dimples again. She is stunning. “Thank you. You didn’t have to do that but it’s sweet, not to mention it’s much needed. I didn’t get much sleep last night.”
    “How com e?”
    “Just didn’t,” she bit es her lip and walks past me to the laundry room where she tosses her towel in the hamper before turning back to face me. She takes a sip from her coffee and makes a cute little noise of satisfaction that makes me chuckle. “So did you want to sit on the balcony? It’s a bit early for me, so I was going to watch some TV for a few minutes to wake up a bit. You’re welcome to join me in here or we can sit outside on the balcony.”
    “The couch actually sounds great. I’m usually a pretty early riser but I like to have a few minutes to wake up. Drake wakes up ready to take on the world,” I laugh.
    “That’s how Ana is, too . I can’t wrap my head around it. She’s already been up for a few hours, washed her laundry, cleaned the house, gone to the grocery store, and started lunch. Whereas I have managed to shower and have this conversation,” she says making us both laugh.
    After a few minutes, we decide on something to watch and slip into a comfortable silence that ha s me smiling a little to myself. I think that’s one of the hardest things to find in another person, the ability to hold a comfortable silence and still feel connected to them. It seems like everything about Sophie is exactly what I want I just wish I knew how she felt about me.
    I’ve been thinking a lot about Drake’s suggestion to ask Sophie out and decide I will. Not right now, but soon. Very soon.
    The rest of the day is easy and enjoyable. Before lunch, Sophie and I decide to join Ana and Drake for a swim at the pool. Seeing Sophie layout in her turquoise bikini is almost my undoing. She isn’t even doing anything, just lying there reading, but it’s all I can do to stay in the pool and not assault the poor girl. Feeling my eyes on her, she smiles warmly at me.
    I consider joining her but judging from the massive erection caused by Sophie in her tiny bikini, getting out of the pool is definitely not a good idea.
    What is this girl doing to me?
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

Chapter Eight
     
    Sophie
     
    I’ve seen Chase every day this week except for today since it’s Ana’s day off. Since she isn’t working, I won’t go up to have a drink with her which means no running into Chase.
    E ven though it’s just been one day, something inside of me feels off.
    However, I do get to see Drake when he stops by at around eight to pick Ana up for their date. They’ve gotten serious pretty quick so I’m not really all that surprised to see him when I open the door tonight.
    We exchange pleasantries and he asks me how my day has been. I do the same, and am surprised when I find myself hoping to see Chase behind him. When Drake shuts the door behind us and asks if Ana is ready, I feel the disappointment spread throughout my heart.
    “I’ll be right out!” Ana bellow s from her bedroom putting a smile on both of our faces. I stick my head in to see how close she was to being ready, laughing when I found her head turned upside down and still topless. I can tell she’s
