Suddenly Dirty(52)
“Getting in with the sister, are we?” Derrick asks, as I flick through the dresses. I frown at him in disbelief.
“Why does everyone think I have some ulterior motive being nice to her?”
Derrick backs away a little, hands up in the air, “Sweetheart, I was just joking. What’s going on?”
Not answering him, I look away. I know I’m pissed off over Evan’s accusation this morning but I hate that he thinks I would do that. I hate my mixed feelings about him too. I hate the fact that every time I see him I want to take him to bed, and I hate the fact that seeing him with other women affects me.#p#分页标题#e#
Derrick puts his arm around me sensing the storm raging in my head, “Everything okay between you and Evan?”
Giving Derrick the look, I say nothing.
“That good, huh. How’s things with Sebastien?”
I have been single for a minute and I’m already having guy problems. How did this happen?
“I don’t know, Sebastien’s great but …”
“He doesn’t get your motor running,” Derrick laughs. “I see the way you look at Evan,” he whispers.
I still my movements, waiting for him to continue.
“You hate watching him with other women.”
I roll my eyes at Derrick.
“Don’t you roll your eyes at me, bitch, I know shit. You have no idea the way he looks at you when you’re with another man. He gets this deep frown line between his eyes and no matter how hot the girl is that is with him, his attention is drawn to you. And when Sebastien came on to the scene I thought his face was going to explode. He looked so angry.”
“Really?” I say, not too convinced.
“Are you forgetting t-shirt gate?” Derrick reminds me, crossing his arms and looking at me seriously.
“T-shirt gate?” I’m confused.
“You know, the one where Evan demands you go back to the hotel to change his t-shirt, as if that wasn’t half obvious.”
Of course, I remember. That ended with Evan giving me a mind blowing orgasm.
“So you don’t think that maybe Evan was jealous of you and Sebastien being together?”
“No, why would he be?”
Derrick just stares at me before flicking the side of my head with his fingers.
“Ouch.”
“Fuck, you are blind woman. How many women has Evan been with since Spain? Since t-shirt gate?”
Thinking back over the past week, we’ve been going out and women have been around, but come to think about it, yeah, Evan hasn’t had any women on his lap.
“Maybe he’s having a dry spell?”
Derrick just looks at me and shakes his head. “Seriously, is that what you think?”
“It has nothing to do with me, D.”
“Okay, fine I’ll let you live in your bubble of self-denial,” he quips, while pulling out a gorgeous dress and shoving it in my face. “Wear this tonight and see if Evan doesn’t burst that bubble.”
I walk out of the change rooms and straight into Sebastien.
“Sebastien,” I gasp, as I am surprised to see him here. He kisses each of my cheeks.
“Yvette told me you would be here so I thought I would say hello.”
Standing behind him was Charlotte, I felt guilty standing there with Sebastien, which was ridiculous.
“It’s good to see you again,” I say. It was the truth but having this time away from him I knew I didn’t have strong enough feelings for him.
“Um, can we talk for a moment?”
Sebastien nods as we moved away from the group.
“Is everything okay?” He asks, his hand brushes my cheek.
“Yeah, of course, it’s just …”
“You want to be friends?” Sebastien finishes for me.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to lead you on It’s just …”
“The rock star.”
“What, no,” I say, shaking my head.
Sebastien just laughs. “Sienna, that man made it obvious he wasn’t happy back in Spain; really, with the spilt wine on the shirt,” he adds, raising his brows.#p#分页标题#e#
“No, it’s not like that. Evan and I have hooked up before but …”
“Sienna, you do not owe me an explanation. You are a beautiful woman and I was happy to have some fun with you, but I am just as happy for us to be friends,” he expresses, while pulling me into a hug.
“Thank you.” I say, looking up at him, his large arms wrap around me.
“Come tonight we can party like the old days.”
“Of course, Ma Cherie,” he says, kissing my forehead.
My hands gripped the cold metal of the balcony railing while looking out over the dazzling lights of Paris contemplating my feelings. Charlotte had come back from spending the day with the girls so happy she was almost floating. Sienna’s friend, Yvette, offered Charlotte a job being a backstage photographer for her next collection. She was so excited. She even went on and on about some hot Spanish guy that had visited Sienna at the boutique. Fuck, I forgot that Sebastien was coming back into town.
