Chapter Twenty- seven – Another Canadian Open Dave’s last evening at Wake Forest before going to the Canadian Open was very quiet. Alec didn’t return to the apartment until late and Dave had simply fretted, or tried to relax, all evening. He and Alec talked briefly and Alec told him he was sorry for what had happened between Dave and Jennifer and then between Dave and Jana – but didn’t have much useful advice. He told Dave he had to put it behind him and start focusing on his tournament. Dave tried to forget it all but the words Jana said kept ringing in his ear – “Jennifer said you were a hypocrite.” He was sad about Jana but he was totally upset by Jennifer’s comment. He had never cheated on her and, in fact, always went out of his way not to. He had been with other girls but always at her urging and with her consent. His frustration and anger towards Jennifer continued to grow and, when he finally fell asleep, he had told himself he really didn’t care if he ever saw her again. He woke early after a terrible sleep. He couldn’t believe he had gotten so angry with Jennifer. He thought about the line in the Kelly Clarkson song “For hating you I blame myself”. And he sadly realized that he did not hate her but hated her not wanting him. He was in a daze as he phoned a taxi to pick him up for the airport. He thought it would be cheaper to taxi both ways instead of paying for more than a week’s parking. He pulled his bags and golf clubs out of the apartment – he could have asked Alec to drive him but he didn’t have the heart to wake his friend. As he struggled out the front door of the building at six o’clock he was surprised to see a very upset Kyra standing by the door waiting for him. She ran to him and he dropped his bags then carefully set his important clubs down just before she landed in his arms, “I’m sorry, Dave. I tried to convince her not to do it but she wouldn’t listen to me. Then she made me promise not to tell you. I refused to have sex with Mark and that made her even angrier at me. I swear I didn’t betray your trust.” Dave felt tears tumble down his cheeks as he pushed her back so he could look deep into her eyes, which were quite red. It was obvious she had had a restless night as well. He kissed her softly then replied, “I believe you and I never, ever suspected you slept with Mark. I love you and thank you for coming to tell me how you feel.” Kyra looked relieved as she added, “I just couldn’t let you go without knowing the truth. Jana and I had a big fight last night and we’re going home today to talk it out with Mom. She will get us straightened out. Do you think you could ever forgive Jana?” Dave rubbed a hand across Kyra’s cheek, “I truly don’t know. She had sex with someone after I specifically asked her not to and told her exactly why that would hurt me deeply. But please know that I love you and I will never blame you for what she did.” The taxi arrived much quicker then Dave had expected and he loaded his luggage into the trunk then kissed Kyra goodbye. The drive to the airport and the flight to British Columbia were a blur to Dave. The whole day simply flew by and, when he finally landed in Vancouver, he was emotionally drained as he had beaten himself up once again for losing first Jennifer and now Jana as well. A chauffeur was waiting to drive him to the hotel. When Dave reached the hotel he went straight to his room and went to sleep. He had been sleeping for an hour when his phone rang. His mother asked, “When did you get in?” “I got in a while ago but I was very tired so I slept for a while. How was your trip?” “Our trip was wonderful. Your father and I got in late yesterday afternoon and Sam was waiting for us at the airport. Here, Sam wants to speak to you.” Dave heard the familiar voice of the red-headed nurse who had nursed him back to care after he had been shot several years earlier. Sam asked, “Did you miss me, Dave?” “Yes, I missed you. Are you sure you don’t mind my parents staying with you? I have an empty room in my suite.” Sam chuckled, “Oh no, I wouldn’t let them stay anywhere but here. Are you coming over for supper?” Dave apologized, “I’d love to but I promised Lynn I would call her when I got in. I should probably have done that before I went to sleep but I was completely exhausted.” Sam whispered into the phone, “Please leave one night free for me. I think I should inspect your wounds to make sure they healed properly.” Dave replied, “It’s a long week. I’ll make sure I leave some time for you.” Sam said goodbye before his father picked up the phone and explained, “I’ll meet you at the golf course at eleven o’clock. The shotgun start is noon, right?” Dave answered, “Yeah, noon. See you at eleven. And thanks again for caddying for me. I couldn’t ask Alec to miss the first college tournament even though I know he would have.” After their farewells Dave hung up the phone but immediately picked it up again and dialed Lynn’s number. He had been looking forward to seeing his favorite Asian triplet and she had made arrangements for him to go out to supper with both Kim and Tina on Tuesday. But Lynn had planned to come to the hotel by herself when he arrived and they were going to go out for supper together. After two rings, Lynn’s sensual voice said, “Hello?” “Hi, Lynn; it’s me. Are you ready for supper?” Lynn’s soft voice cooed, “I’m ready to have you for supper – or at least dessert.” He chuckled for the first time all day, “Do you want me to pick you up or are you coming here?” She replied, “I’ll be there in fifteen minutes.” Dave didn’t even get the phone away from his ear before he heard Lynn hang up. He had a quick shower and tried to rejuvenate himself for the evening but his mind kept coming back to being called a hypocrite. He had just changed into some casual clothes when he heard a tap on the door. As soon as the door cracked open, Lynn burst into the room and jumped into his arms. He picked the tiny Asian up as she squealed, “You’ve gotten so big since I last saw you. I really missed you.” She kissed him passionately and he felt her tongue slide into his mouth. He returned the kiss but when she broke for air, he suggested, “Let’s go eat – then we can come back here and talk.” She looked at him curiously then declared, “I’d rather make love first and then go eat.” Dave was trying to avoid this conversation but he had made a tough decision during his flight to Vancouver. He felt sad as he took Lynn’s hand and guided her to the couch. He explained, “You know how much I loved Jennifer and you also know she has had a different boyfriend for over a year now. Well, in July I decided I wanted her to be mine and I was going to ask her to leave him but I suddenly found out they were engaged. After two weeks of serious debate I finally asked her to leave him anyway.” Dave was staring at his hands as he choked back the still-painful tears before he continued, “She couldn’t decide and in the end we split for good. While I was home on QAI, Jana and Kyra came to visit. I told you all about them and you know Jana and Jennifer have become very close friends. Well, Jana wanted me to sleep with her and Jennifer; after our permanent split that couldn’t happen so Jana instead wanted to do a three- some with Jennifer and her new boyfriend, Mark. I was jealous and told her she couldn’t do something like that with him without really hurting me. “Well, it turns out she did anyway and I just found out last night. We had a big fight and she told me I couldn’t sleep with you or anyone else. We sort of broke up with heated words – but deep down I feel I can’t sleep around on her until I clearly break it off with her. I know it sounds stupid and this is the same situation I was in when we first met but I can’t betray her even if as soon as I get back to Wake Forest I plan to break up with her. It just wouldn’t be right. Does this make sense to you?” Lynn lifted his chin and stared into his eyes, “I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m disappointed. I really looked forward to being with you. But I know how important your values are to you – that is one of the things that made me fall in love with you when we first met. We can go to supper and then decide what we want to do for the rest of the night.” Dave nodded agreement, relieved that his friend understood him. They went to a nice restaurant to eat. Dave really enjoyed Lynn’s company and she brought Dave up to date on her life as well as Kim’s and Tina’s. Kim was engaged to be married and had already moved in with her fiancée several months earlier. Tina was in a serious relationship with a successful business man. Lynn had been dating several guys off and on and one was very interested in getting more serious but she had put him off until after Dave’s visit. Dave apologized again but she simply said it was probably better for her relationship with the other guy anyway. Dave thanked her for understanding. After the meal they went back to the hotel room and simply talked. When it was time for Dave to go to bed Lynn smiled and explained, “Just because we can’t have sex doesn’t mean we can’t sleep together.” Dave shook his head, “I don’t think I could resist you.” She laughed. “Then you can always tell yourself I attacked you.” She stood up and stripped off her clothes. He stared at her tiny sleek Asian body and he felt his prick get hard as stone. He doubted he would last two seconds in bed with her. She took his hand and he followed her tiny form into his bedroom. She stripped him naked then stared at his large pole standing hard and straight out. She smiled then whispered, “I’m relieved to see that some part of you is happy to see me.” Dave gasped, “Every part of me is happy to see you except my conscience and right now it’s in charge.” Lynn guide Dave to the bed and after he lay down on his side she cuddled into the front of him making sure she pushed her firm little ass onto his hardness. Dave was going crazy inside. She took his hand and placed it on her tiny breast and Dave started to massage the small mound and rock hard nipple. He was just starting to consider making love to her when he heard Jennifer’s voice yell, “Hypocrite.” He literally cringed before he stopped moving his hand and lay completely still. His hardness eventually softened and he fell asleep holding his wonderful Asian doll. When he woke in the morning he could feel Lynn still clinging to his body and he considered making love to her again but finally decided against it. They slept until well after nine and then they got up and had a shower together. After a good breakfast in the hotel restaurant, Dave kissed her goodbye and promised to call her after he finished golfing. He arrived at the course just over an hour before his tee time and he used that time to warm up. He met an RCGA official who introduced Dave to his team for the first pro/am. The team was made up of Vancouver businessmen who had paid big money to play with the defending champion. A distracted Dave only played fair but the businessmen were impressed with his huge drives and his occasionally accurate approach shots. The team didn’t do very well in the competition but his teammates were simply happy to play with him. Dave liked the Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club and he and Roger spent a lot of time taking notes and planning his first competitive round. Roger, however, could tell that Dave’s concentration was not very good and after the banquet they sat down and talked. Dave explained everything that happened with Jana and his father was very sympathetic. Dave looked at his father seriously and said, “I don’t know how ready I am for this tournament. I really don’t feel like golfing.” His father simply told him to try and focus and do the best he could. Dave thanked him before they left the course in separate taxis. Dave called Lynn as he drove to the hotel in and the taxi stopped to get her on the way. They spent another quiet night in the room. Dave again had to use all his self control not to make love to her. Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s rounds passed quickly and without much fanfare. Dave only hit the ball fair and he spent less than two hours on the practice range the entire week. He was actually getting mad at himself for not showing more interest as he realized he was merely going through the motions. He enjoyed seeing Tina and Kim on Tuesday evening and also met their current boyfriends. It was a pleasant evening that ended with Lynn in Dave’s bed as usual. On Thursday, Dave and Lynn woke late and after eating breakfast went to the golf course together. Dave warmed up briefly and, when he was due to tee off, he was neither very excited nor very nervous. His performance showed his lack of interest and he shot five over par seventy-five. The leader was Vijay Singh who shot six under sixty-four. Dave did several interviews after the round and wasn’t surprised to hear one reporter ask, “So has the midnight bell rung on Cinderella? Are you going to fade into the distance like most ‘Could have beens’?” Dave looked at the reporter without any emotion, “My game is a little off right now – but this Cinderella isn’t washed up yet.” Dave fielded several more questions before the interview ended. After the interview Dave kissed Lynn goodbye and she promised to see him in the morning. Dave then got in Sam’s car with his parents and Sam and they went out for supper. It was a pleasant evening despite Dave’s sad mood. While his parents were up dancing, Sam asked, “Your father explained what happened with Jana. You probably don’t want any company tonight, do you?” Dave smiled at her. “I’d love to spend the night with you, but I can’t. I’m sorry.” She squeezed his hand across the table before she replied, “I understand.” They dropped Dave off at the hotel and he went straight to his room. He had just crawled under the covers when his cell phone rang. He flipped it open and said, “Hello?” He was very surprised to hear Jennifer’s soft voice say, “Hi, Dave. I’m sorry what happened with Jana.” Dave didn’t know whether to get angry or sad. He simply replied, “I’m sorry too.” Jennifer continued, “I hope you will give her another chance. I know she is very upset that you kicked her out of your apartment.” Dave didn’t really care about Jana or her second chance as he went right to the core of his distress with Jennifer, “Jana said you called me a hypocrite. How could you say that? It was your idea to sleep with Ann. It was your idea to include Katherine. You didn’t object when Julie joined us and it was your idea to include Sam. I definitely didn’t object but I never pushed you into it and I never, ever cheated on you. We were not seeing each other when I started dating Katherine or when I went to England to see Sarah. If anyone betrayed our relationship, you did the time you started dating that hockey asshole, Alex. I never cheated on you and you know it. I can’t believe you called me a hypocrite.” Dave could hear Jennifer sobbing and his heart broke. He loved her so much but she seemed to keep hurting him. She cried, “I never called you a hypocrite. I said it wasn’t fair that you could sleep around on Jana but she couldn’t.” Dave growled, “I never told Jana she couldn’t sleep around, I simply told her I didn’t want her sleeping with one guy, Mark. That was because I knew how much it would hurt me and strain my relationship with her. He already has the heart of the only girl I will ever truly love and I didn’t want him even touching Jana. But she obviously made her own decision and now she will have to live with it.” Jennifer cried even harder when he said she was the only girl he would ever love and when he finished speaking she sobbed, “I’m sorry, Dave. I do love you. Goodbye.” Dave tried to reply but he heard a sudden click and the line went dead. He closed his phone and set it back on the nightstand. He tossed and turned for hours as he thought about Jennifer and Jana. As incredibly good as the last two years had been, he wanted to rewind them and start again – at least to the point of being able to tell Jennifer of his true feelings before she drifted away. The alarm woke him early in the morning and he eventually got in the shower before catching a taxi to the golf course. He barely arrived before his tee time and only had ten minutes to warm up. He teed off at seven-thirty and played almost as badly as the previous day. He shot four over par seventy-four and he was pretty well assured that he would miss the cut. Lynn, Sam, and his mother had followed him all day. After the round Dave pulled Lynn aside and explained, “I’m going to get a flight out of here this afternoon. I’m very upset and disappointed with myself and I need to get away from golf for a while.” Lynn nodded as she understood how he felt. She kissed him tenderly. “Goodbye, Dave. I will always love you.” He replied, “I will always love you too. Goodbye.” Another love was going to fade away. Lynn disappeared as Dave went for his interview. It was a very brief interview as even the media took pity on the dejected-looking teen from QAI. Dave told his father he was leaving that afternoon as soon as he was certain he missed the cut. Dave then said goodbye to his mother and Sam and took a taxi back to his hotel. When he entered his room he pulled out his cell phone and dialed the programmed number. He heard a familiar soft voice say, “Hello?” “Hi, Hilary; it’s Dave. I’m up in Vancouver and have a few days off. Would you still like me to visit you?” Hilary cheered, “Definitely, I’m still in Los Angeles finishing up the movie. Can you fly down this afternoon?” Dave replied, “I’ll check the flights but I imagine I can. I’ll call you back when I know for sure.” Hilary explained, “I’m just on my lunch break then I’m going back on the set. Call my agent when you know what time the flight is arriving in LA and I’ll have a limo pick you up.” She told Dave the number before he answered, “I don’t need a limo. I’ll just take a taxi.” Hilary put him off, “No, a taxi is too much trouble – limos are more discreet. I can’t wait to see you. I have to get back to the set. It’s going to be a great afternoon waiting for you to arrive. Goodbye, Dave.” Dave said goodbye then called the travel agent and rearranged his flight. He would arrive in LA at six o’clock. He packed all his clothes and turned on the television to check the scores. They showed the projected cut line to be three over par which was six strokes below Dave’s score. He turned off the television and called a bellboy to get his luggage. The flight to LA passed quickly and Dave was anxious to see Hilary – he felt better than he had all week. The limo took him to a posh hotel and he was escorted by private security to Hilary’s room. He tapped on the door and was invited inside by a woman dressed in a maid’s uniform. As soon as he was inside the door Hilary jumped into his arms and kissed him on the lips. He had never kissed her before and he was surprised by her unexpected passion. He held her tight as they kissed for a long minute. She then let him go and said, “I can’t believe you have finally come to see me. I thought you weren’t interested in me.” Dave smiled at the gorgeous blonde and replied, “Interested? I’m definitely interested but I simply wasn’t available. I guess I’m still not completely available but that could change very soon.” She looked at him quizzically so he briefly explained what happened with Jennifer and then with Jana. After his quick description of his two failed relationships she asked, “Do you want to go to a party? One of my friends is having a get-together this evening. There should be lots of celebrities there.” Dave agreed, so she helped him unpack before they ordered room service. They sat around talking for several hours after they ate and Dave really enjoyed her company. At nine o’clock they got dressed and left the hotel through the back entrance. Hilary explained that she was constantly harassed by paparazzi and Dave remembered his limited but bad experience with the menacing photographers the previous fall. They were just stepping into the limo when a man jumped out of a bush and started snapping pictures of them. Hilary got angry but Dave didn’t really care and he calmed her down as they drove to the party. At the party Dave met Ashton Kutcher and several other high-profile actors. He was very surprised to meet Kelly Clarkson and even had a chance to talk with her privately. He told her how much he loved her CD and how much her ‘Behind These Hazel Eyes’ song meant to him. Kelly was a really nice lady and they talked comfortably for a while until Hilary returned and pulled Dave away to meet some more of her friends. Dave liked some of the people at the party but he found a lot of them to be very phony and arrogant. He sipped beers for several hours and had a mild buzz on when the crowd started to thin out. One of Hilary’s friends, a guy named Andre, guided Dave to a room away from the main party and then pulled a vial out of his pocket and a small kit not much bigger than a wallet. He moved to a glass coffee table and dumped out a pile of white powder as he asked Dave, “Want to do some coke, dude?” Dave watched in amazement as the guy casually pulled a razor blade from the kit and stared working on the powder. Dave was literally stunned as the coke was shaped into white lines. He stared down at Andre and for a very small fraction of a second he wondered what it would be like to try the stuff. The door opened behind him and Hilary walked in. She looked at Dave and then at Andre and asked, “Are you going to try some?” Dave suddenly got very angry. He glared at her and replied, “Fuck no. In fact I’m outta here.” He started towards the door and she grabbed his arm, “Wait, what’s wrong?” He glared at her again before he growled, “I don’t want to be anywhere near that shit.” He pulled away from her and walked out of the room. He made his way through the crowd and said goodbye to several of the people he had gotten to know. He waved to Kelly before he went out the door. He felt his pants pocket to make sure he had his wallet because he thought he might need to get a hotel room for the night. He was standing in front of the luxurious mansion wondering how he could get a cab when Hilary came running out the front door. Her limo pulled in front of Dave and, after the chauffeur opened the door, Hilary pulled Dave into the back seat. Dave sat quietly as she tried to explain, “I’m sorry, Dave; I didn’t know it would shock you – but that’s the lifestyle around here.” Dave looked at her soberly and replied, “Well it’s not a lifestyle I can ever be a part of.” She nodded before she continued, “I know, I felt the same way at first but then you just get used to it. Haven’t you ever seen cocaine before?” Dave gave her a frustrated look then said, “I’ve heard lots about it and I know several people who have done it but I’ve always stayed clear of it. I made a decision many years ago that I don’t want drugs in my life and I mean nowhere in my life. Do you actually do coke?” Hilary immediately replied, “No, I’ve never done it and I never will but I don’t care if it’s around.” Dave shook his head. “How can you be so casual about that shit? I know people say they can use it occasionally but you hear more about lives and careers being destroyed than about casual users.” Hilary thought about what he said then after a moment of reflection she said, “I know it’s bad and I won’t ever use it.” Dave continued to preach at her, “What happens if you’re having the worst day ever imaginable and then one of your buddies offers you some. You may eventually try it and then you’re fucked. Do you think Matthew Perry intended to become an addict and destroy his life?” Hilary stared at him in deep thought. He continued, “That’s why I made the decision to keep it totally out of my life. I told you how bad my summer was and to tell you the truth I wondered what it would be like to try it when Andre first offered me some but, thank God, my common sense quickly took over. I refuse to be near the shit and I refuse to associate with anyone who is involved with it. I know I may sound a little obsessed but I’m not willing to risk all my dreams for a fucking drug.” Hilary hugged into Dave’s side and whispered, “I’m sorry, I won’t invite Andre around while you’re here.” Dave looked down at her and simply shook his head. “Hilary, I really like you but if you’re going to have people like Andre in your life then you can’t be in my life. I’d love see you, especially after I get this Jana situation cleared up but I won’t see you if you continue to have friends like Andre or anyone else who uses that shit.” Hilary suddenly got angry, “You don’t have a right to say who my friends are.” Dave nodded agreement. “You’re right, I don’t. But I do have a right to say who my friends are and if you’re going to be associated in any way with drugs, I can’t be your friend.” Hilary was still upset and she simply moved to the other side of the seat. She glared at Dave then growled, “Fine!” The rest of the drive to her hotel was totally silent. When they arrived they went up to her suite, Dave wished her goodnight as she stormed into her room still very pissed off at him. He got undressed and climbed into the bed in the room he had earlier unpacked his clothes. When he woke in the morning he immediately got on his cell phone and changed his flight, again. His travel agent booked him onto a flight leaving at noon. He only had four hours so he went into the bathroom off his bedroom and showered then packed his clothes. He hadn’t totally unpacked so he was ready to leave within minutes. He walked out into the main room – no one was in sight. Hilary’s bedroom door was still closed so he tapped on it lightly until he heard a faint, “Yes?” He announced, “I just changed my flight to noon today. I have time to go for breakfast before I leave if you’d like to spend a little time with me?” He heard a very gruff, “No thank you.” Dave was disappointed but he had already made up his mind. “I’m going to the restaurant in the hotel if you change your mind.” He didn’t hear a reply so he walked out the main door of the suite. He was momentarily startled by the bodyguard sitting outside the room. Dave smiled at him and asked, “I’m going to the restaurant to eat. Want a coffee when I come back?” The bodyguard was surprised by the offer and simply nodded. Dave sat alone and ate a large breakfast in silence. He reflected on how much fun he had the previous night until the incident with Andre. He kept looking at the entrance hoping that Hilary would walk in and join him but it never happened. After he finished eating he pulled out a credit card to pay for his meal. The waiter suggested charging the meal to Hilary’s room but Dave refused. He paid the bill and left a fair tip. The waiter brought him a coffee in a paper coffee cup with a couple of sugar and creamers in a bag – Dave forgot to ask how the guard liked his coffee. When Dave returned to the room the bodyguard looked surprised but as Dave passed him the coffee, the look changed from surprise to skepticism. Dave could read his mind easily and chuckled. “I didn’t put anything in the coffee. Look I’ll take a sip first to show you.” Dave pulled the lid off and took a small drink. He made a sour face and added, “God, I hate coffee.” The bodyguard laughed. “Thank you.” Dave nodded as he tapped on the door. After a brief pause he heard footsteps then the door opened. Dave followed Hilary into the main room as she sat down on the couch then stared him. He had a hard time not staring at her fantastic ass, which was barely covered by the satin nightshirt she was wearing. As she sat down and faced him, he could see her hard nipples and he knew instantly she wasn’t wearing a bra. He sat in a chair across from the couch and heard her say, “Are you really leaving?” He nodded. “I think it’s best. I have no right to judge you or your life but I was honest with you last night. I won’t be around drugs – I simply refuse.” Hilary asked, “Do you have feelings for me, Dave?” Dave smiled at her. “Yes, I like you a lot and I’m worried about you but you’re a very mature young woman and you have to make your own decisions.” She smiled at him, moved across the room, and then sat on his lap. “If I get rid of my friends with the dope will you come back to visit me again?” He hugged her, “I will but you have to get rid of them because you think they’re a dangerous influence – not just because you want to be with me.” She kissed him softly, “I’ll think about it but I know I’d like to have you in my life. I liked you when I first met you on the airplane, then I watched you with Sarah. I’m not used to seeing such tremendous love and respect between people our age. I could tell that both of you love each other very much and would do anything for one another, even let each other go.” She lowered her head and whispered, “I think I could fall madly in love with you, Dave MacDonald. I know you have my best interests at heart.” Dave kissed her softly again. “I know I could fall madly in love with you, too.” Hilary took Dave’s hand in hers and moved it to one of her perky breasts. He could feel her nipple push into his palm as he massaged the soft flesh. She kissed him passionately with lot of tongue. Hilary felt his hard prick push into her ass and she begged, “Please stay another night – I really want to spend it with you.” Dave rubbed a hand along her cheek. “I’d love to stay but I think it’s best if I get back to Wake Forest. I have some unfinished business to deal with. If we are to be close friends, I need to come to you without baggage.” They talked for another half hour before he insisted he had to leave. She kissed him passionately and promised to call him soon. After the bellboy loaded his bags onto a cart, Dave followed the formally dressed bellboy out of the room. The bodyguard nodded as Dave passed him and Dave said, “Have a good day. And watch out for her for me.” The limo ride to the Los Angeles airport passed quickly and Dave had an hour wait before he boarded the plane for North Carolina. The flight seemed really long and Dave actually thought about Hilary more than Jennifer. He was happy to have someone different to think about but he was worried for her. He didn’t think his stance on drugs was unreasonable and she seemed much too complacent for his liking. He then thought about her comments about Sarah. He had considered calling Sarah but he felt it would be unfair to her. He had been honest with her before he left England – he didn’t see a life long relationship with her so he knew it was best to let her move on with her life. He did however know she would always be available as a friend if he needed her. When he arrived in Greensboro it was late at night. He found a cab and was soon carrying his bags up to his apartment. The room was dark as he entered and he remembered that Alec had called on Wednesday to say he had made the team for the first tournament. Dave was happy that one of them had a good week and he wondered how the team did. He simply put his bags on the floor in the main room and went directly to bed. He thought about his upcoming conversation with Jana before he fell asleep thinking about Hilary’s sexy body and the possibility of their getting together. He woke late on Sunday and ate breakfast before he sent an e-mail to Julie describing the details of his time in Los Angeles. He knew his sister would enjoy the story about Hilary and especially about meeting Kelly and Ashton. He studied for a couple of hours but couldn’t really get focused so he decided to stop delaying his discussion with Jana. He called their room and, when Jana answered, he asked her if she and Kyra could come visit him. Jana reluctantly agreed before she hung up. Taking action instead of putting off possible confrontation had slowly become more attractive to Dave. It was almost a half hour before Dave heard a knock on the door. When he opened it, Kyra moved into his arms and kissed him heatedly. As they broke the kiss they both could see Jana glaring at Kyra – she obviously felt Kyra was betraying her. Kyra said she was sorry he had missed the cut at the Canadian Open but he simply shrugged. He then moved to the couch and sat down. Kyra followed him and sat beside him but Jana stood by the door for a moment then slowly moved to the chair across from the couch. Dave looked her directly in the eyes and softly said, “Jana, I have thought a lot about what you did and I can understand why you did it, but right now I can’t forgive you for going against my wishes and sleeping with Mark. I know we agreed to an open relationship but at the same time I told you that I didn’t know if I could handle you sleeping with other people. I told you then that we may have to end the relationship if I couldn’t deal with it. I have learned to accept that you and Kyra spend time with other men when I’m not around but the fact that you slept with Mark, after I specifically asked you not to, is inexcusable. I can’t get the image of you with Mark out of my head and I truly can’t imagine being with you intimately in the near future. Therefore I think we need to end our relationship.” Dave had tears pooling in his eyes as he said they had to end their relationship and Jana looked sad but after he said their relationship had to end she got angry and attacked him. “You’re a hypocrite, Dave. You fuck every girl you want but I’m not allowed to be with anyone but you. Did you fuck Lynn and Sam? I know you did.” There was that hypocrite thing again; Dave got angry. “Not that it’s really any of your business, but, no, I didn’t make love to Lynn or Sam even though they both wanted me to. Lynn slept in my bed every night and it took every ounce of resistance in my body not to make love to her. She is very special to me but I wouldn’t do that because you said you didn’t want me to. I respect the wishes of my partners.” He glared at her as he spoke the last sentence and it had the effect he was looking for as she cowered when he said it. She started to say, “Jennifer …” Dave cut her off immediately, “Jennifer has nothing to do with us. This was your decision and you can’t blame it on Jennifer. Jennifer is no longer in my life.” Jana got angrier, “Fine then, Dave. If that’s how you want it then I’m not in your life anymore either.” She stood up and stormed to the door. She opened it and glared at Kyra, “Are you coming?” Kyra shook her head no and Jana stomped out of the room and slammed the door shut. Kyra cuddled into Dave and whispered, “I’m sorry, Dave.” Dave kissed her tenderly, “You have nothing to be sorry about. You have been an amazing friend to me and I truly appreciate it. I know this will be hard for you and I will understand if we can’t see each other anymore.” Kyra pleaded, “I don’t want to lose you. I really have enjoyed our time together and I have grown to love you very much.” They simply cuddled on the couch in silence. Dave was thinking about Jana and so was Kyra. She wanted to tell Dave about the visit she and Jana had with their mother the previous week. Her mom, after hearing the details, was very angry, ‘pissed’, she said, at Jana and told Jana to stop acting like a spoiled child. Kara had told Jana that the most important part of an open relationship was trust. Both partners had to approve of the other’s lovers and, if that trust and approval wasn’t there, then the entire relationship was in jeopardy. Kyra knew and understood what her mother was saying but Jana was too wrapped up in the delights of her own sexual pleasure to understand the importance of trust; it’s not just men who let their lower brains overrule their big brains. However, Kyra could not bring herself to tell the whole story to Dave. Dave finally broke the silence as he asked, “Have you heard anything from the men’s golf team?” Kyra stared into his eyes and explained, “Leanne said Darcy was playing really well and was leading the individual competition of the tournament. The team was in second place overall after the first two rounds.” Dave nodded – he was pleased for them. He kissed Kyra softly; then the kiss grew more passionate. She moved onto his lap and pulled his shirt over his head. He began massaging her large firm breasts before he lifted her top and sucked a nipple into his mouth. She rubbed her hands through his hair as he moved his hands to her ass and squeezed a cheek in each hand. He picked his remaining lover up and carried her to his bed. They made passionate love for hours and both were happily exhausted as they eventually lay cuddled and staring into each other’s eyes. They talked for another hour as Dave described his entire trip. Kyra was surprised he didn’t stay with Hilary but Dave simply said he couldn’t and wouldn’t sleep with her after Jana’s ultimatum – until the relationship was clearly resolved. They made a late lunch but, after eating rather quickly, Kyra explained she needed to study for a while. Dave agreed and after he fondly kissed her goodbye, he hit the books for the afternoon. He wasn’t overly focused as he kept thinking about Jana but he managed to cover some of the material he had missed the previous week. He was sitting watching television when Alec strolled into the room. Dave asked how they did in the tournament and Alec announced, “I stunk! I only broke eighty once but Darcy played awesome and he won the individual title. The team finished second overall – not bad but we should have won. I didn’t help much and neither did Keith or Will. Devin played really well to finish ninth. I heard you missed the cut; rough week?” Dave told Alec all about his week. Alec couldn’t believe Dave had met Ashton Kutcher and Kelly Clarkson. When Dave told him about the drugs, Alec agreed he did the right thing and said he hoped Hilary would get away from those bad influences. They went to bed late. The week passed quickly and Dave settled back into his routine. He wasn’t quite as keen about either his studies or his practicing as he had been the previous year but he did try. His classes were very tough and he wondered if taking seven courses was such a good idea. The class he shared with the twins was a real challenge – he wanted to sit with Kyra but Jana’s nasty stare told him he wasn’t welcome. He sat at the back of the room alone. The women’s team left on Thursday for their first tournament of the year and Dave wished them well. He was sitting in his room that evening when he heard a tapping on the door. He opened the door and was surprised to see a tearful Kyra standing in the hallway. He pulled her into his arms as he guided her to the couch. As soon as they sat down she blurted out, “Jana has been making my life hell. She’s mad because I’m still seeing you and she’s being very cold to me. She keeps making snide remarks about you that she knows bothers me. I don’t know what to do. I’m thinking about switching rooms.” Dave held her tight and kissed her softly. He was afraid this would happen – he had seen something similar with Jennifer and Ann but he hoped this time it would be different. As he stared into her eyes he explained, “There’s only one solution. We’ll have to stop seeing each other.” Kyra cried even harder, “No, it’s not fair. I shouldn’t have to give you up. Jana doesn’t have a right to do this.” Dave rubbed a hand across her cheek. “I know it sucks – but Jana is your family. No one should ever come between you and your family. I’ll really miss you but your sister has to come first, no matter how difficult it seems.” Kyra tried to argue but deep down she knew he was right. She finally asked, “Will you make love to me one last time?” Dave carried her to his room and they made passionate love all evening. When she fell asleep in his arms he stared down at her glorious face and wondered how bad his life could get. In the past four months he had lost Katherine, Rebecca, Jana, Jennifer, Lynn, Sarah, Danielle, and now Kyra; even Hilary was only a possibility. He couldn’t believe he had gone from the happiest guy in the world to the most hopeless. Why couldn’t he have been smart enough to pursue Jennifer instead of dallying around? Life sucked! He fell asleep wondering where he would go from here. His interest in golf and school had faded with his lost relationships and now he didn’t know what he really wanted to do with his life.
