Both men stared at Nicole like she'd just offered herself up as a test case.The blond on the right gave her a smile that suggested he was more than willing to prove the theory.His friend, recovered from his shock, said, "Absolutely.People come to Vegas for one thing and one thing only.Fun."
"Nothing serious, right?"Nicole asked and winked at the blond.
"Nothing serious," he agreed.
"Nothing serious," I mused and considered the pile of napkin I had created.
Nicole flipped around in her seat, leaving the guys staring openmouthed at her back."Lex?It was just a one-night thing," she said, her voice soft, almost consoling me.I looked up.
For some reason, I felt like I might cry.
"You got it out of your system.Now you can go home and get started on your new, Andrew-free life."She put her hand on mine, stopping it from tearing up more napkin."Trust me."
I blinked hard but the memory of Leo kissing me before leaving the hotel room invaded my brain.He'd looked into my eyes and said, "I don't even want to leave you for a half hour.We don't have much time together.I'll just call in sick and shower here."
"Don't be silly," I said."Just go and change.I'll see you soon."
"Are you sure?"
"Go," I said and I laughed.
I'd laughed.I was so sure I would see him later that I laughed.
He kissed me again, and touched my cheek before he walked through the door.
I didn't even have his phone number.I could've looked at his phone when I had it, but I didn't think of it.Why would I?And now, even if I wanted to, which I did, I couldn't contact him.
"Maybe you're right," I said to Nicole.
"Of course I'm right.In two weeks, you won't ever think about him again.Trust me."
