I don't want to be alone

In truth, I want Jon with me But if he can't at least say he wants to be exclusive and won't pick up some woman he meets while he's away on a trip or when he's out and I'm not with him, I can't be with him

That's my bottom line

My pride intact, I turn on the flat screen and lie on the sofa but my eyes are filled with tears and the screen is too blurry to watch

Chapter 14

JON

I drive like a maniac down the road from India's place by the Bay If she could only just relax and let things happen between us, exploring e can be together rather than trying to force a shape on our relationship, we'd be in bed right now, fucking our brains out

I only want India I don’t want any other woman I won't be with any other woman I want India and only India

Why isn't that good enough for her?

She wants me to say the words – Yes, I'll be exclusive with you – like it's a clause in a contract

I don't want any other women I won't be with any other women I want her and only her

What's the difference?

I pull over and take out my cell

JON: I only want you I don't want any other woh for you, I'll be waiting
