Chapter Twenty-Six – Behind These Hazel Eyes The three and a half hour drive to Cape Breton passed quickly as casual conversation returned among the five friends. Dave continued to think about Jennifer but deep down he had reluctantly concluded he needed to move on and not rail against what might have been. They pulled into the Telegraph House hotel just before noon and quickly moved their bags into the rooms to prepare for their activities. The women had bought a map of Cape Breton and were going to tour the Cabot Trail while Alec and Dave golfed. The five friends ate a large meal in the restaurant at the small hotel before Dave and Alec were dropped off at the course. Dave had used some of the pull he had acquired as Canadian Open Champion to get his partner Alec privileges to golf during the day normally reserved for practice rounds. After kissing the women goodbye, Dave and Alec went to the practice range. Alec loved the look of the golf course and he looked forward to playing it. Dave remembered it well from his earlier Atlantic Junior Tournament. They eventually teed off with two golfers from Ontario. Dave played better than he had all week but he was still disappointed with his seventy-four. Alec’s confidence had continued to grow and he shot seventy-eight. Alec remembered Dave saying the same architect had also designed Buzzard’s Bluff and Alec could readily see the similarities. The women eventually picked them up and regaled them with descriptions of the beautiful sights in the Cape Breton Highlands. The Cabot Trail was particularly beautiful and they were very happy they had a chance to see it. After parking the car at the hotel, they walked to a small pizza shop down the road called the Yellow Cello. The restaurant had a large deck and was packed with golfers in town for the Amateur. Dave recognized several people he had played against the previous year and he received numerous congratulations on his British Open victory. The restaurant ambiance was welcoming and a very charismatic piano player entertained the beer-guzzling golfers. The pizza was good and Dave enjoyed his relaxing evening with the twins. He had one sister tucked under each arm as they joined the piano player singing various songs. The piano player teased Dave several times about having two girlfriends – it was all light-hearted fun and Dave simply laughed. The waitress hadn’t asked for identification so the group was able to share several pitchers of beer. Dave had a mild buzz when they finally walked back to the hotel. He told Alec he would see him and Shauna in the morning; then he strolled on a bee-line into his room with the twins following closely behind. He was barely through the door when both girls attacked him and stripped him completely naked. Jana worked on getting him hard while Kyra kissed him passionately. The entwined trio slowly worked their way to the bed as Dave pulled the twins’ clothes off as he went. By the time they reached the bed, Kyra was completely naked. She pushed him flat on his back, climbed onto the bed, and straddled his face. She lowered her dripping snatch to his mouth and he snaked his tongue into her sweet wetness. She moaned as his tongue parted her tender lips while his hands moved up to her round firm breasts. He could feel Jana still sucking his rock-hard pole as he licked and teased Kyra’s clit while his hands massaged her mounds. He felt Jana move and realized she had mounted his throbbing love muscle; she had been super- lubricated and quickly performed the penetration. She eased herself deeper onto his girth and he heard her moan in delight as she began rocking back and forth. He felt her hands join his hands on Kyra’s breasts and Kyra’s excitement grew quickly as they double-teamed her. Dave continued to lick and suck Kyra’s wet slit as she ground her clit against his face. Kyra’s excitement grew steadily until she moaned in ecstasy as her first orgasm rocked her. After allowing her orgasm to settle she rolled off Dave and moved away from the bed. Jana dropped her upper body flat on top of Dave and licked Kyra’s juices off his face before she kissed him passionately. Dave suspected where Kyra had gone and he soon felt pressure on the underside of his prick as Kyra entered Jana’s ass with her favorite strap-on toy. Jana’s eyes rolled back into her head shortly after the additional penetration and both Dave and Kyra stroked into her faster and faster until she squealed in delight. Her orgasm rocked her entire body before she passed out on top of Dave. Kyra was chuckling, “God, I love doing that to her. She’s so easy to send over the top.” Dave simply shook his head and scolded, “Play nice.” Kyra put an angelic look on her face and Dave laughed at her. He gently rolled Jana onto her back before Kyra dropped between his legs and used her talented mouth to bring him to an earthshaking orgasm. She swallowed his seed then smiled at him. “I really missed that. You are a wonderful lover and I would really miss you if we couldn’t be together.” Dave rubbed her cheek. “There’s no reason we can’t have a wonderful winter, now.” He briefly stared into space as he thought about Jennifer but he quickly shook her from his thoughts. Kyra asked, “You’re thinking about Jennifer, aren’t you?” Dave nodded but didn’t reply. Kyra hugged him. “It’s Jennifer’s loss. You’ll find someone special – but, I hope, not before you have completely satisfied me.” Dave chuckled. “I don’t think you could ever be completely satisfied.” She giggled. “There was once when our family was in Aspen...” She suddenly stopped talking and stared at Dave as if she had said something she shouldn’t have. He pulled her to him and kissed her tenderly. “I don’t care about what you did in Aspen. Just hold me, please.” Kyra buried her face in his chest as she squeezed him tightly. Jana eventually woke up and the three lovers cuddled in the large queen size bed then fell quietly asleep. When they woke in the morning, Dave, Kyra, and Jana had a soothing shower, which included some very intimate hygiene before they joined Alec and Shauna in the hotel restaurant for breakfast. Kyra then dropped Alec and Dave off at the golf course. Dave practiced all morning and was reasonably happy with his ball-striking but he could sense that he was not really at the top of his game. Several media crews taped him hitting balls and they asked him to do interviews to go with the visuals. He had two hours until he was due to tee off so he agreed. The interviews were very similar to previous ones and a slightly bored Dave was happy when they were completed. He hit balls for another half hour then putted for an hour before he and Alec had a quick snack. Dave played his round in a three-some with a golfer from Quebec and one from Manitoba. He only played an average round but was satisfied with his one under par seventy-one. His parents and Patsy arrived just before his tee time and they joined the three women following him as he progressed through the course. There were dozens of other spectators following him as well but he didn’t really notice the small numbers compared to the huge crowds at the British Open. After the round they all went to a local lobster restaurant and had a big seafood feast. After the late supper Dave and the twins returned to their room for their last night together. They made tender love and were lying in bed talking about what they liked in bed when Jana let Mark’s name slip. Dave looked at her and asked what she meant about Mark. Jana looked pensive as she said, “I asked Jennifer if she could arrange for us, her and me, to have sex with Mark tomorrow night. I really want to spend a night in bed with Jennifer and a man. I really wanted the man to be you – but that’s not possible now.” Dave sat up and glared at Jana. He spoke in short sentences, “I don’t want you fucking Mark. I know you sleep with other guys when I’m not around – but not Mark. I couldn’t take that.” She looked tentative as she replied, “Okay, Dave.” Kyra hugged him as she looked up into his fiery eyes. She couldn’t believe her sister could be so obtuse. She was going to give her hell the next time they were alone but right now she simply wanted to calm Dave down. She could feel his heart racing. Dave eventually calmed down and dozed off to sleep. He slept soundly until his alarm woke him. He rolled out of bed, showered, and slipped out of the room quietly. He met Alec in the restaurant for breakfast before the two of them drove to the course. Patsy and his parents picked the girls up just before his tee-time. He had another average day and shot even-par seventy-two. He knew the two average rounds would leave him in decent position for the sixty-four man cut. He thought he would still be in the top half of the draw but he would have to beat all the strong players if he was going to defend his championship. After he finished his round he did three more interviews before they all went back to the hotel. Dave asked his father if he would give the twins a drive to meet Jennifer because he was feeling a little tired and wanted to rest up for the next day. The truth was he didn’t want to see Jennifer again – he thought he was ready to move forward but seeing her would only re-open the wounds and more self-pity would spill out. He went to lunch with the twins before he asked Jana to call Jennifer and arrange to meet on the highway half way to Charlestown. He didn’t tell Jana that his father was driving them until after she called Jennifer. They were both disappointed because they wanted to spend a little more time with Dave but he assured them he would see them the following weekend at Wake Forest. He kissed them both passionately before they left with his father. Dave relaxed in his room for the afternoon and just before dark he called the golf course to get his tee time. He had been seeded fifteenth for the match play so his tee time was fairly early at ten-thirty. Dave slept well that night but he could not avoid thinking about Jennifer before he dozed off. He and Alec spent an hour at the driving range and then putted for thirty minutes. Dave was honed and ready when his name was called to the first tee. His first match went quite easily as the opposing New Dominion player was very nervous and played poorly. Dave won the match six and five. Dave finished play early in the afternoon so his father took Alec, Shauna, Patsy, and Carol on a tour of the Cabot Trail. Dave passed on the trip and chose to simply decompress in the solitude of his room. He relaxed all evening and went to bed early. His mind continued to always wonder back to Jennifer no matter what he started out thinking about. He finally fell fitfully asleep shortly after one o’clock. He woke early the next morning and practiced for an hour before his second round match. His opponent was the twenty-first seed and Dave had to win a surprisingly close match decided on the last hole. Dave didn’t hit the ball overly well and his putting was only fair. Alec tried to keep him focused but he could tell Dave’s mind simply was not completely on his golf. Dave ate a good lunch before spending a little additional time on the practice range – he desperately tried to find his swing but it was not to be. He had advanced to the top sixteen but now he had to play the ninth seed player. Dave fell behind after only four holes and by the eleventh hole he was down five holes. The match ended after the fourteenth hole with Dave losing five and four. He looked at his father in disappointment but his dad simply shrugged. When Dave approached them dejectedly, his father said, “It wasn’t your tournament, Dave. You’ve had a rough week and this is simply a symptom of the pressure you have been under the past ten days. Learn from it and move on.” Dave nodded as he and Alec led the disappointed group to the clubhouse. The media wanted interviews and Dave suffered through them as graciously as he could. He explained, “My opponent was too good for me today; I wish him luck in the next round.” An hour later, Dave, Alec, and Shauna were on the road for QAI – it was two days earlier than originally planned; they had come to expect a win or at least a very high finish from Dave – this was a small surprise. Dave and Alec reviewed his round in great detail; in the end they both agreed that he just wasn’t at his best and his opponent was more than up for the challenge to beat the British Open Champion. They arrived at the house in Edwardton very late and went directly to bed. They all slept in on Wednesday. It was another hot day so after eating a good lunch the three friends went to Brackley Beach. It was a good afternoon on the beach and Dave was happy to see most of his friends before he went back to North Carolina. Dave took Shauna and Alec out to dinner that evening then they went to a movie. It was a quiet evening and Dave was happy to push the golf out of his mind for a while. On Thursday, they spent the day at North Beach. Roger hosted a huge farewell barbecue for their guests and all of his and Carol’s families. Dave had an opportunity to say goodbye to everyone before he left early the next morning. He spoke briefly to Alan who told him he had identified twelve interested sponsors who were anxious for him to turn pro. Dave told Alan about his thinking; he would probably turn pro the following summer but was not yet going to make any announcement. Dave thanked his uncle for his help fielding sponsorship feelers. After the barbecue, Dave, Alec, and Shauna went to town and Dave went to bed early. Dave had said goodbye to his parents and promised to call when he stopped the next night. He was leaving at four o’clock the next morning and trying to get past New York before he stopped Friday night. That would leave a short run to Wake Forest on Saturday. Dave woke with his alarm and ate a good breakfast before he hit the road. As he crossed the bridge leaving QAI he remembered how excited he had been when he crossed it just over three weeks earlier in the opposite direction. He had been hoping to start a new life with Jennifer but instead he was now starting a new, maybe emptier, one without her. He thought about her most of the morning as he made his way south. As he drove through New Dominion a new Kelly Clarkson song came on the radio; Dave listened to the words and thought about his devastating rejection by Jennifer. The song ‘Behind These Hazel Eyes’ seemed to describe his emotions perfectly. He heard the song twice more as the morning passed and found it contained a powerful message. When he drove through Portland, Maine he saw a large mall beside the highway so he pulled into the mall, went directly to a music store, and bought Kelly Clarkson’s “Breakaway” album. It would play many times during the drive. He listened to the song over and over until he had the words completely memorized. He wondered if Kelly knew his story with Jennifer as he thought about the words. Seems like just yesterday You were a part of me I used to stand so tall I used to be so strong Your arms around me tight Everything, it felt so right Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong Now I can't breathe No, I can't sleep I'm barely hanging on Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes I told you everything Opened up and let you in You made me feel alright For once in my life Now all that's left of me Is what I pretend to be So together, but so broken up inside 'Cause I can't breathe No, I can't sleep I'm barely hangin' on Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes Swallow me then spit me out For hating you, I blame myself Seeing you it kills me now No, I don't cry on the outside Anymore... Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes The second song on the compact disc, called ‘Since U Been Gone’, also seemed to fit his feelings. He thought of Jennifer the entire trip and he wondered what the drive would have been like if she had said yes. He had to wipe tears from his eyes several times as his sense of loss overwhelmed him. In spite of the many thoughts of Jennifer, he made extremely good time and stopped for the night just outside Washington. He called his parents before going to sleep. He woke at eight o’clock and got right back on the road after a good breakfast. The temperature got steadily warmer as he got closer Winston- Salem. He pulled onto the campus and went directly to the security building to get his parking pass. He then went to the check-in center and picked up his new DeaconOne card. He went to his newly assigned apartment and unpacked his clothes. He couldn’t make his bed or watch television because he had left all his linens and other stuff at Alec’s for the summer. His cell phone rang and he answered, “Hello?” Alec’s cheerful voice asked, “Where are you, Dave?” “I’m in our apartment. How was the flight home?” Alec chuckled. “A lot faster than your drive. Coach Dawes called last night and asked me to play with the two new freshmen tomorrow. He suggested I find a fourth. Are you up for it?” “Sure, count me in. What time?” Alec replied, “We have a one o’clock tee time. I’m just packing our stuff and I will bring it by the apartment shortly. See you soon.” Dave set up his laptop and put his new Kelly Clarkson disc in the drive and then ripped the songs into MP3 format. He opened up a new e-mail message and addressed it to Jennifer. He wrote in the subject line, “This is how I feel!!!!” He then attached the song “Behind These Hazel Eyes” and hit the send key. He stared at the screen for a moment then wiped the tears from his eyes and walked out of the apartment with his golf clubs on his back. Dave decided to go hit some balls. As he walked across the campus he saw several students he had met the previous year; he said hello to them before he made his way to the golf center. When he arrived he was surprised to see an unfamiliar person already hitting balls on the range. Dave walked right to the tall young man and introduced himself, “Hi, I’m Dave MacDonald. You must be one of our new golfers. It’s nice to meet you.” The brown haired boy stuck out his hand, “I’m Devin Williams. Yes, I’m new to the team. It’s nice to meet you, Dave. I watched you win the British Open – you played spectacular.” Dave nodded. “Thanks. I’m just going to change and then I’ll be out to join you hitting balls.” Devin nodded as Dave turned and walked into the golf center. Dave put his golf shoes on and grabbed two buckets of balls before he returned to the range. Dave and Devin hit balls for over ninety minutes and Dave noticed that Devin had a fantastic swing. When they finished Dave asked Devin if he wanted to clean the clubs or pick up the balls. Devin didn’t understand what Dave meant, so Dave explained that they were expected to pick up the balls before they left at night so the grounds crew could cut the grass in the morning. He said it was faster if one person picked up the balls while the other cleaned the clubs. Devin nodded understanding and offered to pick up the balls. After Dave finished cleaning both sets of clubs he helped Devin empty the balls from the golf cart. Dave asked, “Any plans for supper?” Devin shook his head so Dave continued, “I’m heading to the dining hall now if you want to join me.” Devin agreed so Dave led the way. Dave asked where Devin was from and he explained that he was from San Diego, California. Dave asked why he moved so far east and Devin said simply, “I wanted to play with the best and that’s you.” Dave stopped walking and looked at him for a moment before he shook his head. “I hope I don’t disappoint you because I sucked last week in the Canadian Amateur.” Devin asked what he meant and Dave explained, “I didn’t play very well and was eliminated in the third round of the match play.” Devin looked surprised but didn’t say anything. Dave led Devin to the main dining hall and he spotted Danielle, Rachael, Darcy, and Leanne at their usual table. As soon as Danielle saw Dave she jumped up, ran to him and hugged him. “Great to see you, Dave. Did you have a good summer after the open?” Dave replied, “It was a very short break and not very exciting.” He motioned toward Devin. “This is Devin Williams; he’s one of the new freshman on our team. Devin, this is Danielle, she’s a junior on the women’s team.” Dave led Devin to their table and both Rachael and Leanne got up and hugged Dave tightly. Dave introduced them to Devin before Darcy stood and shook both their hands. Darcy welcomed Devin to the team then Dave led Devin to the cafeteria. Dave loaded his tray with food and returned to the table. He asked Danielle how her summer was and she told him all about it. He then asked the other three how their summers were. They talked for over an hour and it was getting late in the evening when they all went back to their rooms. Just before they left Darcy asked, “So do we start the group again tomorrow?” Dave smiled, “Same place, same time.” Devin asked, “What group?” Darcy explained that Dave had his own practice group and it included the five of them plus Alec. Devin immediately asked, “Can I join the group?” Dave smiled and replied cheerfully, “The more the merrier. We start at seven at the golf center. We’ll see you there.” Devin thanked Dave before he left for his dorm – Palmer Residence of course. Dave said good bye to the other four before he headed to his apartment. He half expected Danielle to ask to go with him but he was pleased that she didn’t. He was just strolling across the campus when his cell phone rang. He answered, “Hello?” The soft voice said, “Hi, handsome. I’m really horny and I miss my man.” Dave laughed, “I miss you too, Kyra. Where are you?” “Jana and I just finished unpacking. Feel like some company?” “I’d love some. I’m in apartment 4C and I should be there in about three minutes. I’ll see you soon.” He closed the cell and continued walking towards his dorm. He waited at the entrance to the building and was pleased to see Kyra strolling towards him. He walked to her and kissed her passionately. He then led her up to his apartment. When he opened the door Alec and Shauna were on the couch and both Dave and Kyra said hello before going into Dave’s room. As soon as the door closed, Kyra slipped into his arms and they kissed passionately. When they broke the kiss, Dave asked, “Where’s Jana?” Kyra had a strange look on her face as she explained, “Jana’s not feeling too good. It’s that time of the month.” Dave simply nodded as he pulled Kyra’s clothes off and started to suck her nipples. They made passionate love and Dave was sure Alec and Shauna must have heard Kyra’s shrieking orgasm. After they finished, they lay in the small bed for almost an hour simply talking. Kyra explained, “Jennifer was really disappointed that you didn’t drop us off. I think she wanted to talk to you.” Dave simply shrugged before Kyra continued, “She didn’t say much in front of me but she and Jana had a long talk about you.” Dave didn’t comment so Kyra dropped the whole issue. Kyra stayed the night with him and he was very pleased to hold her in his arms all night in an embrace that completely soothed his mind. He woke early in the morning and ate breakfast with Alec – luckily Alec had bought some groceries. They went to the golf center and practiced all morning. The practice was less intense than most had been the previous year because everyone wanted to catch up on each other’s summer activities. Darcy congratulated Alec on his improved golf game as did the three girls. Dave was proud how they looked out for each other. Devin fit in well with the practice group and, after they all had been hitting balls for two hours, Coach Toombs and the other freshman arrived. Coach Toombs introduced Jarad Knox to the group. Coach Toombs then led Devin and Jarad to another area of the practice range and worked with them directly. Dave’s group hit balls for another hour before calling it a day. Dave and Alec walked over to Coach Toombs and suggested they could take the freshman to the golf course at noon. Coach Toombs agreed and arranged for them all to meet at the golf center. Dave and Alec then went back to their room and relaxed for an hour before going to the dining hall for lunch. The round during the afternoon was very casual and Dave felt his old focus return. He was very pleased with his sixty-five. Alec had a great round of seventy-four, as was Devin with his seventy-four. Jarad struggled with an eighty – he seemed very intimidated by Dave and couldn’t keep his focus. Dave watched Jarad’s golf game carefully and could tell that he wasn’t near as technically strong as Devin. During the afternoon, Jarad explained that he was from Winton-Salem and that he was a walk-on who didn’t have a scholarship. That evening Dave and Alec ate dinner in their room and both Shauna and Kyra joined them. Jana was still mysteriously absent. Kyra spent the night with Dave again and he was extra happy that he and Alec were sharing an apartment where they each could have a little privacy. The group practiced again Monday morning before the entire men’s and women’s teams joined them at nine o’clock. Both teams went through their full practice routine and, as he had the previous year, Coach Dawes informed the men’s team there would not be a practice session the next morning. Dave and Alec smiled at each other as they had already agreed with Coach Dawes to host the beginning-of- year party. The party was a good time and the team talked a lot about defending their NCAA Championship. Alec and Dave didn’t drink excessively because they were hosting. They were only mildly buzzed when the last team member staggered out of the apartment at two o’clock. They cleaned up for twenty minutes before going to bed. They both slept in on Tuesday because group practice had been cancelled. Late in the morning, Dave confirmed the six courses he had registered for electronically in July and he added a seventh course. It would be a very difficult course load but with only four tournaments in the fall, he was confident he could get the work done. He had to make up for the two courses he had not taken during the second summer session. He still wanted to stay on his three year plan even if he changed his mind and didn’t turn pro after the third year. He then went to talk to Coach Dawes and re-confirmed that he approved of Dave’s missing the first fall tournament because of the Canadian Open. One year made a huge difference and, with an NCAA title under his belt, Coach Dawes actually encouraged Dave to attend the pro tournament. Dave then explained that he didn’t know what or if he would attend any pro tournaments in the spring but he would keep them to a minimum. Dave knew by winning the British Open he had qualified for every PGA event, including all four majors. Practice went well that day and Jarad asked Dave if he could also join the group practice. Dave said he had to check with the whole group but he didn’t expect a problem. During the afternoon Dave talked to Alec, Darcy, and Devin and they all agreed to the addition. Dave then walked over to where the women’s team was practicing and he asked Leanne, Rachael, and Danielle about Jarad. They also agreed but Danielle mentioned that the women’s team also had two new freshman and they had heard about Dave’s group and asked to join. Dave did the math quickly and realized the group would be up to ten, five men and five women. He looked thoughtful for a moment then agreed as long as the other guys approved. He looked at the women’s team and immediately picked out the two new freshmen. One was a tall lean girl who was quite attractive while the other girl was a small cute oriental girl. Danielle noticed him looking and explained, “The tall one is Kiesha and the short one is Mia.” He nodded before he strolled back to the men’s team. He talked quickly with Alec, Darcy, Devin, and Jarad; they all agreed on the two new women. Dave then caught Danielle’s attention and indicated the new girls were in. That evening Jana joined Dave and Kyra for dinner and Dave kissed her lovingly. He noticed that something was bothering her but she wouldn’t tell him what it was. He eventually ignored it and enjoyed the evening with the twins. Classes started the next day and Dave’s new and very busy schedule had him attending three classes every morning plus the night class he was taking with the twins. Because of his heavy load of business and computer classes, he could only arrange one class with the twins. The first ten days of classes passed quickly and Dave quickly realized that with seven courses, he would have very little time for anything except golf and his studies. He did manage to get out with the twins on Friday night and they went to a movie. They also spent several nights together squeezed into his small bed in his apartment. He noticed that Jana was still acting strangely but neither she nor Kyra would say what was bothering her. He was practicing with the team on Saturday, the day before he had to leave for Vancouver. He kept thinking about Jana and he started talking himself through the timeline in his head. ‘Everything was okay when the twins were in Cape Breton but not okay after they returned to Wake Forest. Jana could still be upset about Jennifer; Kyra did say they had a long talk about me. I don’t think this actually has anything to do with her monthly cycle. What else could it be?’ Suddenly the light clicked on in Dave’s head and he screamed in his mind, ‘MARK!!’ Dave had been practicing beside Alec on the driving range when his mind suddenly put two and two together. Dave instantly lost focus and even Alec noticed that his shots had suddenly started to stray wildly off target. Since Dave’s game had finally returned to what it had been when he won the British Open this sudden wildness had Alec concerned for his friend. He turned to Dave and asked, “Is something wrong? Something is not right. What is it?” Dave looked at him, “You know how I told you that Jana has been acting very strange; right?” After Alec nodded Dave continued and his voice grew steadily angrier, “Well, I think I just figured out why. When we were in Cape Breton, Jana mentioned she wanted to have a three-way with Jennifer and me, but, after everything that happened, I wouldn’t do it and Jana mentioned she would do it with Mark instead. I told her I didn’t want her to fuck him – but I think she did. Even though she clearly knew how much it would hurt. That’s what’s bothering her – she feels guilty for cheating on me.” Alec suggested, “Dave, don’t jump to conclusions. You don’t know she cheated on you; don’t accuse her until you know for sure.” Dave glared at his friend then gasped, “I’ll fucking kill Mark if he slept with Jana and I’ll never see that cheating bitch again.” Alec was shocked by the intensity of Dave’s rage – he had thought his friend was getting over his problem with Jennifer but he now realized that Dave had been simply masking the pain. This incident with Jana now brought all Dave’s emotions to the top. Alec tried to calm Dave down but nothing seemed to work. Dave went back to hitting balls and ignored Alec completely. After another half hour Coach Dawes called an end to the practice and Dave immediately walked back to his apartment with his clubs. He was flying out early the next morning for B.C. and had planned to spend his last evening with the twins. As soon as Dave arrived at the apartment he called the sisters’ room. Kyra answered the phone, “Hello?” Dave growled, “Can I speak to Jana?” Kyra noticed his angry tone immediately and asked, “What’s wrong, Dave?” Dave repeated his question heatedly, “Can I, please, speak to Jana?” Kyra whispered, “Just a second.” Dave could tell that Kyra had put her hand over the mouthpiece of the phone and after a pregnant pause Dave heard, “Yes, Dave what do you want?” Dave spoke very directly, “I’d like to speak to you right away.” Jana replied with a stuttering reply, “We’re coming over in half an hour. Can it wait until then?” Dave answered, “No, I’d like to speak to you right now. Can you come here or do you want me to go there?” Jana paused for a second before she said, “We’ll be there in a minute.” She hung up without even saying goodbye. Dave paced back and forth in his living room as he tried to decide how he would start the conversation with Jana. Alec walked into the room and saw Dave’s stormy expression. He tried to talk to Dave again but Dave simply said, “Jana is on her way here right now and I’ll find out what’s going on.” Alec shook his head, “Dave, don’t overreact.” Dave glared at him again so Alec added, “I’m going to clear out and visit Shauna. Don’t do or say something you will regret.” Dave heard Alec but ignored him as he returned to pacing. After Alec left, he did think about what Alec said and tried to calm himself down. Several minutes later he heard a knock on the door and he felt a little more relaxed and a little more controlled – but he was still very angry. He opened the door and both Jana and Kyra strolled in. Jana looked as if she was ready for a fight and her hostile expression simply made Dave angrier. The door was barely closed when he looked directly into Jana’s eyes and asked the core question, “You’ve been very distant the last week and I know something is bothering you. Did you have sex with Mark?” Without any hesitation Jana replied, “Yes, I did sleep with Mark and Jennifer. You know we have an arrangement where we can sleep with whoever we want.” Dave was surprised by her quick, non-evasive response but he was half ready for it, “We do have an agreement but I told you I didn’t want you fucking him. You cheated on me.” She glared at him and retorted, “Cheated on you? You’ve slept with Sheri, Danielle, and Sarah and who knows how many others since we started seeing each other. Don’t say I cheated on you. Jennifer is right; you’re a hypocrite. If you like to give orders so much then how about this one: I forbid you from sleeping with anyone while you’re in Vancouver; not with Lynn, not with Sam, not with anyone.” The ripping comment about Jennifer calling him a hypocrite made him feel as if he had been hit by a truck. Dave suddenly turned pale and all his anger was replaced with complete sadness. He didn’t have any fight left in him as he weakly pointed to the door and simply whispered, “Get out. I never want to see you again.” Jana glared at him then replied, “Fine! Let’s go, Kyra.” Jana walked to the door, opened it, and then turned to wait for her sister. Dave looked at Kyra as well and he could see the deep concern in her eyes. She was torn between her lover and her sister. Dave looked meekly into her eyes and simply whispered, “Go with your sister. I’ll see you when I get back.” Kyra slowly walked out the door with her sister. When the door closed, Dave went into his room and fell on his bed. He was totally devastated. He had pushed Sarah and Rebecca away. Katherine had moved on because he wouldn’t commit to her and then Jennifer broke his heart. Now Jana was gone as well and he really didn’t know what to do with himself. He lay on the bed, thinking about all the mistakes he had made and wondered if he really was a hypocrite. Why did love have to be so painful?
