After the meal, everyone retired to a large plush den the Broodys called the ‘Family Fun Room’. It had lots of interesting stuff such as video games, a pool table, dartboard, two different projected screens; one showing soccer whilst the other showed a movie, recliners, lots of comfortable seats, two beds, a bar, play corner for the kids. It was breathtakingly cozy.
After making a quick call to one of her colleagues, Kayla asked Kate, Josh’s cute wife, who was also a doctor just like her husband, to direct her to the washroom.
“You know what Kayla?” Kate said looking at Kayla’s shoes. “The whole world of fashion is at your feet. I love those shoes. When you’re done, do come give me some pointers. Who knows, maybe I’ll start going on my ward rounds in killer heels.” She finished with such a ridiculously humorous expression on her face Kayla erupted into laughter.
“Ow come on Kate, you’re going to make me pee my pants.” Kayla squealed, rushing into the unsurprisingly large washroom.
She could still hear Kate’s laughter even from in there. Kate was actually thrilled to meet the woman who had been able to capture the attention and heart of Dean, who she teasingly called, ‘Hit and Run’ as all he did was fuck and dump ladies.
As Kayla was washing her hands, still smiling at Kate’s words, the door to the washroom opened and Alice stepped in. Kayla saw the sneer on the red head’s beautiful face in the mirror and felt her heart start to beat faster. She just knew the woman was going to tear her to pieces…verbally. But she was damned if she was going to allow herself to be treated like trash. Kayla Cooper was no pushover. Hell no!
“Well, well, well, look who we have here. If it isn’t Mrs. Dean Broody to be.” Alice drawled, going to stand beside Kayla.
Kayla looked at the other woman in the mirror and shook her head. “Listen, Alice, I’m really not in the mood for any more of your insults. Besides, I don’t think anyone can tell Dean, what or who to do…if you get my meaning. So please, don’t take your anger and frustrations out on me.”
Kayla was already so angry, she had to try not to go off on Alice. After all, it wasn’t her fault Dean was a liar and a cheating bastard. Anger flashed on Alice’s beautiful face, turning it almost evil.
“Look here you bitch, that man is not for you. You can’t handle him. I was with him in Dubai and he spent every night in my bed. That should tell you something.” Alice said smugly.
Alice smiled within. She was going to put the fear of God in this little bitch. Girlfriend? Yeah right! If anyone deserves that title, it was her. Hell, their families were so close that she was virtually seen as part of the Broody family. Why not make it official? The fact that Dean seemed to be serious about his current fling didn’t faze Alice. She had been fucking Dean on and off since they were kids. Hell, she had been his first fuck. A year older and more experienced, Alice had fucked Dean’s brains out at an early age. She had once fucked the twins at the same time but that had been just that one time. They had all been drunk. It had been exciting and fun.
But she had always adored Dean, hoped that they would end up together one day. To him, they were fuck buddies but to her, it was more. Yes, she had other men in her life but Dean had a special place in her heart. To say she had been surprised when Dean refused to have sex with her in Dubai because ‘he was seeing someone’, was an understatement. That had sounded so ridiculous, Alice had been lost for words. But Dean was obviously serious about this girl if he had actually brought her home to meet his parents. That wasn’t a good sign at all as far as Alice was concerned. She knew she had to put a stop to this nonsense once and for all. She also knew how stubborn Dean could be so that left, Kayla.
Though she had been surprised when he had refused her sex in Dubai, she had also known she couldn’t force Dean to have sex. Dean’s control had always been absolute. Even in the throes of passion, Dean had always exercised control and that self-control had always been a major turn-on for her. If Dean Broody didn’t want to fuck, nothing and no one could force him to.
But who was to know Dean had refused Alice? Definitely not Kayla. After all, she hadn’t been in Dubai with them. Alice knew she had to be smart, get the girl out of Dean’s life tactfully. Much as she hated Kayla, Alice couldn’t deny how hot she was. But then, Dean had always had great taste. Kayla also looked like she had class and was very smart. All she had to do was play the cheating card. A girl like Kayla, had too much pride and class to stay with a cheating boyfriend. Alice raised an eyebrow when she noticed the bemused expression on Kayla’s face.
“What can I say, honey? They are all cheats and liars. You are a nice girl. A better man will come along.” Alice said, giving Kayla a pitying look.
Kayla turned to fully face Alice. “Know what? You just exonerated my boyfriend. Listening to you earlier in the dining room, I couldn’t help but wonder if he was fucking you the whole time we were in Dubai. Now I know better.”
Alice stiffened when she caught on the word ‘we’. “What do you mean the whole time you were in Dubai?” She asked curiously.
“You didn’t know, did you? I was in Dubai with Dean, Alice. And we slept in the same bed every night.” Now it was Kayla’s turn to look smug.
The look on Alice’s face was so comical, Kayla chuckled. She actually felt sorry for the woman.
“Well, he obviously doesn’t want you enough if he’s not having sex with you.” Alice scoffed. “Dean has never been able to resist me. He is very highly sexed my dear. Have you bothered to think maybe he’s just not that into you?” Alice asked looking Kayla up and down with a sneer.
