265 Only Avolding Work? 

(Winona) 

I’m lying on Lisa’s couch, scrolling through my phone, when Lisa bursts through the door. 

“Oh. Look who’s not at work,” Lisa says, kicking off her heels and tossing her bag onto the chair. “What gives? You could have come to lunch with the girls.” 

I glance up, raising an eyebrow, “Took the week off. Figured I deserved a break before the wedding” 

“Is that the only reason? She stares at me, smirking like she’s onto something. “You avoiding anyone in particular, maybe?” 

I sit up and stretch. “Nope. Just thought it’d be nice to have a week to focus on the wedding, not stress about work and free myself up to be with the kids.” 

Lisa drops down on the floor in front of me, crossing her legs. “Mmm–hmm. You sure? Because Lance called me earlier, and guess what he said.” 

I sigh, the in–house gossip is as strong as ever. “What?” 

“He said Phillip mentioned seeing you at the club Sunday night,” she says. “Was he? Phillip wasn’t there when I was there.” 

I keep my face neutral. “Yeah, I saw him after you left.” 

I can practically see the wheels turning in her head. “Uh–huh. And you didn’t think to mention this… why? Something you’re not telling me?” 

1 shrug. “The real question is… How did Phillip know?” 

“Know what?” Lisa says innocently. 

“About me being out.” 

“It was probably just a coincidence.” 

“No. He said he knew about the hall pass. I know Jayden never told him and the only other person who knew was you,” I accuse. 

“Okay, okay. I might have mentioned it via text.” Lisa looks guilty. “Sorry.” 

“Why would you tell Phillip?” 

“Because I never thought you’d really go through with getting laid and I thought if anyone could convince you, it would be Phillip.” 

“Jesus, Lisa.” 

“Sorry. I should’ve told you.” She throws her hands up in the air. “I was trying to help.” 

“Can you please let me sort myself out. I don’t need your help on this.” 

“Judging by your state yesterday morning, you really don’t… unless it was Phillip you were with, if so, you can thank me later.”

“Just stop. I’m not telling you either way.” 

“Girl, you’re not at work. You sure this isn’t about Phillip?” 

“Lisa, come on. I’m not avoiding him.” 

“So, you didn’t let Phillip hit?” 

I give her a look. “My business.” 

Lisa throws her hands up, laughing. “You’re so damn tight–lipped. Fine, keep your secrets.” 

“I will.” 

“Well, Lance said he talked to Jayden about it.” Lisa stands up and grabs a beer from the fridge. She offers me one and I shake my head. 

“Lance talked to Jayden about what?” 

“About Phillip saying he saw you at the club. Apparently, Lance thinks Jayden’s crazy for doing this. But he also told me to tell you to ball every guy in town to prove Jayden is really a dud.” She laughs. 

Typical Lance. Thinks his best friend is crazy but supportive of lots of casual sex. “What did Jayden say 

about it?” 

“Lance said Jayden’s totally committed to giving you space. But he did ask Lance what Phillip said to him about seeing you.” 

“What did Phillip say?” I feel a tiny knot of worry start forming in my stomach. 

If anyone is going to set Jayden’s fury off, it’s Phillip. 

Lisa shrugs. “Not much. Phillip just said that he saw you. But Lance is as suspicious of you and Phillip as 

me 

“Lisa. I know you mean well, and Lance. But who I have sex with is my business. If I have sex with anyone is up to me. I’d prefer it not to be discussed like it’s a grocery list.” 

“Sure. Like that’s ever worked with us. You know as well as I do that if any man is going to trigger Jayden, it’s Phillip.” 

I nod. “But, he did seem calm about it? According to Lance?” 

“Yes. But you know Jayden, he’s like a pressure cooker. He’ll keep it in until he can’t.” 

Jayden getting jealous is not what I need. That may set us back. “I hope he doesn’t overreact.” 

Lisa raises an eyebrow. “Just the fact that you were in the same place with Phillip is uslly enough to get Jayden’s jealousy meter up.”
