Word has it that opposites attract. Jessica Keith would give the pithy expression two middle fingers because a wild party girl like her and the prim do-gooder, Matthew Parkinson are opposites hopeless to attract, let alone breathe the same air.

I felt Matthew's arm circling around my waist. I snuggled closer to my pillow, my back on him. The bed slightly ripped and then I felt butterfly kisses on my shoulder blade.
I opened one eye and realized a fading sunray streaming in from the opened window. I think it's about 5:00 P.M. I rolled to my side.
Matthew beamed at me, blue eyes bright. "Are you ready for that romantic boat ride?"
I pecked on his nose. "Of course. I was born for a romantic boat ride."
He chuckled... nervously.
"You okay?" I asked, suddenly confused.
Matthew almost jumped out of bed and onto his feet. "Yep. I'll go pack us some food."
I watched as he walked, no, ran out of the room with my mouth hanging open. I guess he must like boat rides this much. I doubt if he even slept at all. He already had his clothes on and everything like some fireman off to put out a fire.
I picked my clothes off the floor and quickly put them on.
Matthew's all fired up about a boat ride and I'm a supportive girlfriend. Who knows? It might be some sort of long-time aspiration to get a girlfriend and take her for a boat ride. In fact, whatever kinky stuff that man had on his list, I'm going to embrace it with a wide-open mouth and thighs.
I hurried out of our bedroom and bumped into Audrey in the kitchen. She looked relieved when she saw me.
"Everything okay?" I hear myself ask. It feels like I've been asking that same question today.
Audrey rested a hand over her growing bump. "No, you guys should've been on that boat ride 10 minutes ago."
What is it with Matthew and boat rides? He even has Audrey in on it.
I patted Audrey's back. "I'm all set. We're ready to go. We just needed to make up for a bit."
"Oh, I know. I heard." Audrey gave me a meaningful look.
"Sorry about that," I murmured, not sounding sorry at all.
"You better go." She ushered me out of the kitchen then flicked her neck toward the front door where Vren was talking to Matthew... intently.
"Oh, I know what this is," I said to her teasingly.
Audrey blinked, blood almost draining out of her face. "You know what?"
I wiggled my eyebrows at her. "You and Vren need the cabin yourselves. You know, you could've said so. Matthew and I would've been happy to adjust our schedules."
She sighed visibly. "Yeah, so you need to go."
I smirked. "Have you tried that one thing I told you about the other day?"
