Chapter Fourteen

Bekah held out Charlotte’s phone, looking at her with a kind impatience that for some reason reminded her of Michelle. “Okay. You’ve made rounds calls. You’ve checked in on the night photographer. No more stalling. Call him.”

The reporter had changed into jeans and a blouse that showed more cleavage than Charlotte had ever seen. Apparently, she had plans to meet up with one of her admirers after work. She was making him wait, to help Charlotte.

“This is silly. I’m sure he’ll call. He probably is just busy. I mean, he has friends and family, and I know he does lots of charity work.” Charlotte stared unseeingly at her computer screen, trying to focus in on her work. “There could be a million reasons he hasn’t called.”

“True. But can you think of any logical reason you shouldn’t call him?” Bekah tilted her head and leaned over, forcing Charlotte to acknowledge her.

“Yeah. There are a million reasons I shouldn’t call him. He could avoid my calls. He could think I’m being pushy. I won’t know what to say. I’m not the one that pushed this whole thing in the first place, he was.” The unease in her stomach grew with each new reason, and a million more whirled in her head that she refused to give voice to.

Bekah shook her head, her ponytail whipping back and forth. “None of those are logical reasons. They are fears based on zero evidence. Call. Him.”

It sucked that Bekah was right. But also undeniable. Charlotte’s fingers shook as she took the cell phone from Bekah’s hand and called up Trey’s number. “It’s after midnight. What if I wake him up?”

“Then you wake him up. Apologize, and ask what he’s doing next weekend.” Reaching over the phone, Bekah pressed send on the call.

Nodding, Charlotte placed the phone next to her ear, the delicate skin there immediately heating uncomfortably with her anxiety. Apologize. Ask him out. I can do that. If he says no, then I’ll know.

The pep talk did nothing for her.

The phone rang once. Twice. The third ring was cut short by Trey answering. “Sugar. Damn, I’ve never been so happy to get a phone call in all my life.” His voice had a rough edge to it, so different than his usual smooth bass.

“I’m sorry. Did I wake you up?” Charlotte avoided glancing at Bekah’s face at all costs, afraid the woman’s witnessing of Charlotte’s ineptitude would send her over the emotional edge.

“Nah, I just laid down for what feels like the first time since I left you at the door the other night.” Trey groaned, the sound vibrating through her phone and straight down to her clit. “I’ve been rocking the worst case of blue balls since that kiss. I had planned to go home and call you up to help relieve that pressure. But I got called in for help with the arson investigation. Then I had to deal with a former friend that is going through some rough times right now. Every time I went to call you, something else happened.
