*Carry On*

**Kaylyn's POV**

I feel the hard plastic key card hit me in the chest as Brian's words feel like a stab to the heart, "Let's just forget any of this ever happened and go back to our business relationship...it'll be better for both of us this way." he says coldly before ignoring my pleas and walking back into the hallway.

My heart felt like it's breaking in my chest and bile rises in my throat....how could I be so stupid to actually believe that he might care about me?!

I bend down and pick up my key card from the floor before grabbing my dress and shoving my way passed Brian who is on the phone with someone, and swiftly slamming the door to my suite.

I can't help but look through the peep hole at Brian's shocked expression...it almost seems like he wants to apologizes, but I know that it probably just wishful thinking. I grab the 'Do Not Disturb' hanger off the inside knob and fling the door back open.

Don't ask me why I did what I did next, but part of me wanted to make Brian suffer. I smugly drop the towel that is covering my naked body and stare into Brian's chocolate brown eyes, as I watch his mouth fall open in complete and total shock.

I quickly hang the sign on the outside door knob and promptly slam it back shut, before collapsing down onto the suite floor.

I pull out my cell phone and decide to call Jimmy back to tell him what room Brian was in since I'm pretty sure I will never see the handsome Mr. Haner again.

Jimmy picks up and immediately starts talking, "You know, I do make house calls if you're feeling lonely or rejected" he teases and I can't help but frown because that's exactly how I'm feeling.

I let out a sigh and lay my head against the door, "Well I'm completely naked, and feeling painfully alone and beyond rejected, thanks to Brian" I admit sadly and I hear Jimmy exhale sharply.

"Kaylyn look...Brian is an emotional mess who is terrified of love and commitment right now...give him time" he says softly then clears his throat, "I would love to come over and put a smile back on that beautiful face in the meantime, if you catch my drift" he offers and I bite my lower lip hard, so I don't moan at the thought.

Jimmy is incredibly attractive, kind hearted, funny and caring...he's everything a girl dreams of...maybe I should admit defeat and just have fun while I'm still young.

"Come to the Belliago Hotel, Brian is in Suite 2 and I'm in Suite 1...I will consider your offer in the meantime and let you know my decision when you get here" I reply and I hear him moan slightly, which sends a small shiver of excitement through me.

We hang up and I stand up and walk into the bathroom and turn on the shower. The hot water cascades down over my body and I can't help but moan at the sensation...after sitting in a tub of freezing water then standing in a tiny towel, this feels incredibly good.

I let my eyes slip closed and ponder exactly what I should do when Jimmy arrives. Should I ask him to try and convince Brian that having feelings for someone isn't necessarily a bad thing, or, should I cut my losses and give into Jimmy's tempting offer?

I don't want to hurt Brian, since I'm pretty sure that Aubrey cheated on him with that guy who showed up at the beach with her...but what about me? Brian doesn't seem to care that his recent actions and words weren't exactly what I hoped to hear.

I'm not expecting an admission of love...but maybe a sign that he cares.

Notes

Uh oh...Kaylyn is pissed off at Brian and Jimmy is offering up a very tempting distraction...

What did Brian think of Kaylyn's surprise peep show?
Will he apologize for his dismissal?
Will Kaylyn accept Jimmy's proposal?
If she does, How will Brian react?!
