“I’m talking hypothetically.” Catarina jumped as the door bell sounded. “Sshh!” This always worked with persistent telecommunications salesmen and strange religious types wanting to sell her on the end of the world. “You’re going to hide?” The amusement in Suan’s voice was evident. “Oh crap.” Catarina immediately switched the radio off and ducked down behind the sofa, pulling Suan with her. “Uh oh,” Suan murmured as she looked out the window. The Thomas thing was not part of her plans. “Just give him a chance.” Suan looked at her knowingly. “Oh don’t start quoting high school Shakespeare to me.”
“I think she doth protest too much,” Suan murmured meaningfully. I need no more challenges.” Besides he was way beyond her. “I have bills up to my eyeballs, I cannot find a job I like and feel like I have continual PMS. This love stuff was way too complicated.Ĭatarina rolled her eyes at her friend. I don’t need this.” Life was simpler when all you had to think about was yourself. But yet there he was – smiling, funny, sexy and for some reason wanting her despite all the roadblocks she put up against him. She wasn’t looking for a ‘Thomas’ in her life. She wanted to live plainly, simply and alone. She had known him all of two weeks and already he was screwing her life up.
“Time to think about what you really want, darlin’- what does that mean?” Catarina felt her heart racing a mile a minute. “I always am.” Suan smiled at her words as if she understood the angst her friend was going through. “Yes, how cunning of him to be himself with you.” Suan scoffed cynically. “It’s just so….him.” Thomas did stuff like that to drive her mad – making her feel things she did not want to feel. “Well, I don’t – it’s just annoying.” And confusing and a bunch of other things Catarina wasn’t about to admit to. “I didn’t think you wanted romance from him.” Suan looked at her in sceptical amusement. “Well it’s hardly romantic.” Who sent Valentine’s by email? Surely she knew how she felt about stuff like this? They had been best friends forever. She looked at her best friend Suan in amazement. Thomas has sent you a Valentine’s greeting. When she had opened her email this morning there it sat. “He sent me a bloody e-card!” Catarina still could not believe it.
