Hot for Love (Bachelor Billionaire #2) by Sharon Cummin Page A

or you can go
to Josh's. I do think you should stay with one of us.”
    “ They
said you might be able to go to your apartment this week, to see if
there is anything to keep. I can take you. Your apartment is not far
from mine. You can choose Heath's place or mine,” Josh said.
    “ I
guess it would be easier for you two if I stay with one of you,”
Lisa said.
    Josh
could tell she was thinking about it. He felt a tinge of jealousy as
she looked over at Heath. Josh got up and walked into the kitchen.
Becky followed him.
    “ You
okay?” she asked.
    “ Yep,
fine, why?” he asked.
    “ Do
you like Lisa?” she whispered.
    “ What?
You know me Becky. I'm sure you have heard, I don't do love or
relationships,” he whispered back to her.
    “ I
have heard that. I'm just not sure I believe it,” she said, as
she walked away. “Not every relationship has a sad ending.”
    Josh
went out to sit back at the kitchen table. He kept his eyes down at
his plate while he ate. Josh wanted her to stay with him, but if she
stayed with Heath, he would put on a happy face.
    “ I
think I will stay with Josh,” Lisa said quietly. “If they
say I can go to my apartment, I want to be closer.”
    Heath
got up and stormed out the front door. Josh got up and went after
him. When they got outside, Heath turned to stare into Josh's eyes.
    “ I
get it, she likes you,” Heath snapped. “I swear, you
better not break her heart. How many times do I have to tell you, she
has feelings for you? She deserves someone who will treat her right
and put her first. You are not that guy. Do you hear me? You are not
that guy. You are a no feelings, screw them and dump them guy. If you
hurt her, I will kick the shit out of you. I care about her. She is
one of my best friends. I know you are my friend, but she comes
first. I am telling you, if you hurt her, you will be sorry. She can
go to your house this week. That is what she wants. Have fun, hero.”
    Josh
grabbed Heath's arm, and Heath pulled away. Josh knew if he pushed
Heath to talk to him, they would end up in a knockdown, drag out
fight. He didn't want that.
    “ We
are just friends. She knows that. I am not going to do anything to
make her feel differently,” Josh said.
    “ Whatever,”
Heath shouted, as he walked to his car and left.
    Josh
went back into the house and sat down at the table.
    “ You
are going to my place,” he said, with a sad tone in his voice.
“I will be here in the morning to get you. I'm going to head
home and clean up your room. I want to make sure everything is clean.
I'll see you guys in the morning.”
    “ What
did he say to you?” Lisa asked.
    “ Nothing
that wasn't true. He just reminded me of who I really am,” he
answered, as he got up and quietly left.

    Lisa
sat quietly for a few minutes with Becky and Gavin. She looked up at
Becky.
    “ Do
you think Heath has feelings for me?” she asked.
    Gavin
let out a chuckle.
    “ What?”
Lisa asked.
    “ Yes,
he does,” Gavin answered. “I don't think he's the only
one.”
    “ What
do you mean?” she asked.
    “ Nothing,”
Gavin said, as he got up and went into the other room.
    “ Tell
me,” she yelled.
    “ I
just find it kind of strange that Josh is going home to fix up your
room, instead of going out with a woman on his day off,” Gavin
yelled back.
    “ How
did he lose his father?” Lisa asked Becky. “He mentioned
that he lost his dad, but didn't say how.”
    “ You
need to get him to tell you. It is a very large part of his life that
affects him every day,” Becky answered. “Give him time. I
know how you feel about him. I see the way he acts when it comes to
you. I know he is protective because of his job, but he's different
with you. To answer your earlier question, yes Heath has feelings for
you. He told me.”
    Lisa
went to her room to pack her stuff. She collapsed on the bed and
thought about what happened at dinner. When Becky and Gavin told them
they were leaving for a week, Lisa
