of our stuff you've destroyed? You'd better pay for all of this or we are contacting our lawyer!”
    Paul tried to comfort his partner, and I took the opportunity to flee upstairs. Elle stood in the hallway, her arms folded across her chest. I'd hoped to catch another glimpse of that perfection. Guess I was too late.
    Maybe if I asked her nicely...
    “What are you staring at? We're on the hook for all this damage.”
    “Figured as much.”
    She paced back and forth. “There's the repair to pay for, then we'll have to tear up the carpet and the linoleum.”
    “Unit 119 got hit too.”
    She gaped at me and let her arms drop. Jackpot!
    “You're kidding. I mean, of course they did.” Her nipples hardened even more, as did I. “I don't think Debbie left us near enough money to take care of this. What if something like this happens again? What am I going to do?”
    “You mean, what are we going to do.”
    She stopped pacing and stared at me, her head cocked to the side. God, she looked so adorable when she did that. It just made me want to... to squeeze her. What the hell was the matter with me?
    “Jayce?”
    Fran kept hollering in the background. She scooped up water in a bucket and dumped it out the window into the yard below. I should've helped, but Elle had me entranced.
    “I'm not giving my bastard father this property. Whatever it takes to keep it out of his hands, I'll do it.”
    She visibly relaxed. She pushed tendrils of hair, now wavy and dark from the water, out of her eyes.
    “You mean it?”
    “Sure do. There's just one little problem we didn't foresee.” I winced. “Actually, it's a huge problem.”
    I managed to pull my gaze away from her chest and looked instead at her beautiful face.
    “What is it?”
    “If we really want to keep this place, there's something I gotta do – and I'm not so sure I can do it.”
    I took a deep breath and then spit the words out like they were poison.
    “I've got to get married, Pink.”

 
    Chapter 3 - Elle
     
    “Jayce can't possibly get married. He'd be the world's shittiest husband.”
    Heather threw a handful of popcorn into her mouth. I laughed because she was right. Inside, I was freaking out.
    “I can't believe Debbie would force him into it. She knows, um... what kind of person he is.”
    “Yeah, a total whore.”
    I paused in front of Casey's Candy Shoppe. There was a big yellow sign in the window that said “Going Out of Business!”
    The bottom floor of Shady Acres was actually a sort of small indoor bazaar. There used to be lots of sellers who had shops here, hawking everything from gourmet food to flowers to exotic pets. Most of the owners lived in the apartments above.
    The shops were looking a lot emptier these days. Casey's wasn't the only store to close recently and it wouldn't be the last.
    “At least he's clean,” I muttered as we perused the chocolate selection. “If you get my drift.”
    “Thank God for that.” Heather rolled her eyes. “Hey, wait. How would you know?”
    “For some reason, he saw fit to tell me. He seemed very proud of the fact.”
    “As if you can trust him.” She took one of the samples and devoured it with a sigh. “Don't trust him, okay, Elle? In case you get any funny ideas.”
    “What kind of ideas?”
    She eyed me in her all-knowing way. Heather was a few years younger than me, but she sure was smart. I guess that's why we got along so well, even as kids.
    “He'll sleep with anything that has a vagina, and you know it.”
    I wished I could hide my blushing. I didn't dare tell her how her brother (that's totally what he was, whether she liked it or not) completely hit on me the other day. How he told me I needed a good fuck...
    Damn it, he was right. I was so very sick of being the innocent virgin.
    Jayce could take that virginity away from me. He wanted me; I saw the desire in his eyes. But what did it matter? I wasn't anything special to him. It wouldn't make my first time special, either, and that's what
