Still Can't Get Over You

Chapter 35

Corey's POV;

Seeing the smile on her beautiful features; the calmness in her posture and the satisfaction in her voice told me that she was more happy and content than she had been in the longest time. Lately with Carmine she had been constantly in a state of frustration with all that he had been saying.

Where I had once shared his concerns; I was now in a different state of mind; I knew that Dylan could indeed look after herself in that ring. My best friend was more than talented and she had the instincts that told me she could go far in this career if she chose to stay.

"So you said the best ever...does that mean better than porku punk over there?" I nodded my head in the direction of my friend and Dylan's ex who was sat laughing with H.

I hadn't know Dylan or Roy when they were a couple but I had seen the photos and heard the stories of how they were when they were together. From all accounts their love had been the real deal but for whatever reason fate tore them apart. But their friendship now was strong; their love was long gone replaced with pure platonic love.

Dylan had never been shy when it came to her expressing that Roy was indeed the best that she had ever had and vice versa. So her words this morning had shocked me. My best friend wasn't a slut by any means, but she had her fair share of one night stands, encounters that had lasted a few weeks and then her long term relationships so it wasn't like she had little experience to go from.

"Roy will always be...what we shared will always have a special place in my heart because he has...was the only boyfriend that I have ever had who supported me and loved me unconditionally you know? He was always the one I believed would help me get past Jeff...but it wasn't meant to be and now I am left wondering if there was a reason for that. But yeah Jeff was...he is...what we shared blew me away; I never thought that I would ever have such mind blowing, rewarding sex; I mean look at me I can't stop smiling,"

"I can see that. You look like you slept with a hanger in your mouth!" I chuckled giving her a wink as she fixed me with a look that I instantly recognized. "Ok you need me to be serious friend not prankster friend; what's on your mind?"

"I don't know what the hell I am doing Corey. I mean I love Carmine; hell I wouldn't have said yes to marrying him was I not in love with him but this thing with Jeff it's so strong and no matter how hard I try to fight it; I can't fight him and what I feel. I'm in way over my head and there doesn't seem to be anyway to fight it,"

"Your point?" I asked softly becoming grateful that this particular hotel allowed smoking in the selected section we had occupied as I handed her a cigarette, which she lit up and inhaled deeply.

"Last night after we...well you know. We talked..."

"He talks after sex? Damn he's giving the rest of us a bad name!" I dramatized getting a giggle from her. "Ok so what did you talk about?"

"It's weird but do you remember me telling you about my Dad and how sometimes I feel him close?" She asked me. Ever since I had known her, she had talked about feeling her Dad close to her especially when it came to her career.

"Yeah I remember sweetheart,"

"Jeff without knowing that admitted to me that he feels his Mom close too; we got to talking and wondering if somehow they were responsible for us...you know getting together,"

"I think that its possible. I mean anyone who knows the two of you can see that you two are meant to be together..."

"God I am going to hell!" She muttered resting her head in to her hands and sighing heavily.

"Why would you say something like that Dyl?"

"I'm engaged to Carmine and I'm screwing someone else...isn't that a blatant breaking of one of the ten commandments?"
