inside.
    “What?” I asked him, hoping to get rid of the grin on his face.
    “I think I’ve just done you a huge favor,” he replied.
    “How’s that?” I raised an eyebrow and took place at the table on the seat next to him.
    “Your ex-boyfriend’s name is Kurt, right?”
    “Yes it is. How do you know that?” My eyes bulged open and my heart beat faster. How could he possibly know the name of my ex-boyfriend? I had a bad feeling about this.
    “He’s been here.” He nodded.
    “What?” I yelled. “What do you mean he’s been here? When? How did he find me?” What in the world was he talking about? There was just no way Kurt could know I stayed here for the next two weeks.
    “He was at the door when you were doing your walk on the beach. Not the friendliest guy out there, I can tell you that.” He tilted his head to the side and frowned.
    “But… How? I don’t get it.” I shrugged.
    “I have no idea how he knew about this place but he was here. And he seemed pretty mad if you ask me.”
    “Of course he’s mad. I broke up with him and he can’t accept that, even though he cheated on me!” I yelled. Brad stared at me, his mouth open.
    “I’m sorry to hear that. I didn’t know that,” he said.
    “It’s fine, I’m way over the cheating part but I’m not over the stalking part.”
    “What do you mean the stalking part?” Brad got up and moved next to me, his face close to mine and he stared me in the eyes.
    “He’s been stalking me for a couple of weeks now but these past few days it’s only gotten worse. He’s been calling and messaging me almost non-stop and it’s freaking me out. He even threatened me in one of the messages, saying he’d entered my house and he asked where I was.” My eyes turned watery but I held the tears from falling down my cheeks. I didn’t want Brad to see me cry.
    “I had no idea he was stalking you,” he said and grabbed my hand. “If I’d known that I would’ve handled him a lot harder than I did.”
    “What do you mean? I thought he only came to look for me?” I squinched my eyes.
    “He did. But when I told him you weren’t here he turned kind of aggressive. So I had to use some force to show he shouldn’t mess with.” He shrugged.
    “You fought with Kurt?” My eyes bulged open, I was hoping he would say no but I feared for the worst. Kurt wasn’t the kind of guy to leave things be, especially not if he didn’t get what he wanted. He would come back, no doubt about it.
    “No I didn’t fight him, I just hurt him a little that’s all. He’s a big boy, he can handle it,” he told me with a smile on his face.
    “I’m sure he can handle it but I’m not so sure he’ll just leave it be. Don’t forget you’ve made him mad about two things at the same time right now. You didn’t allow him to see me and you’ve humiliated him by throwing him out of the house.” I sighed and aimed my eyes at the floor.
    “It’s no big deal, we’ll see what happens. I’ve dealt with angry businessmen before and let me tell you, they aren’t pretty to argue with.” He laughed. He probably tried to make me feel at ease again and it actually worked. His lovely smile warmed my heart and I felt better again.
    “I don’t think I can express how much I appreciate what you’ve done, but thank you,” I said to him with a smile on my face.
    “How about a dinner for the two of us? I know a great place we can go to.”
    “You mean like a date?”
    “It’s only a date if you see it that way. I like to call it a night out between two friends, casually having dinner together.” There was that grin again. I hadn’t seen it since the day of the wedding party. I immediately recognized it, this was the old Brad again, the Brad I had so much fun with before.
    “That’s nicely put.” I met his smile with one of my own.
    “So what do you say?” he asked me in a soft voice and gave me a kiss on the cheek, followed by another one. Heat pooled between my legs
