Chapter Fifteen

Ella Novak in all her freshly-blonde glory rapped on Crispin’s window. He shoved his door open, knocking her over. Ella shrieked.

“Crispin!”

I couldn’t stop him. He was already out of the car. Ella landed in some bushes with a scream.

“You shoved me! That’s assault,” she shrieked.

Crispin loomed over her and snarled, “What are you doing here?”

“I work for the Governor of Texas.”

“As what? His personal hooker?”

“JOHN!” She called, “JOHN!”

The wrong John heard her. John Braithwaite poked his head out from the gardens behind the fountain and wrinkled his nose. Crispin didn’t notice him, but I did. If Crispin wanted to beat Ella’s ass, I wouldn’t stop him this time. After the field hockey stick incident where she attacked me for coming into Crispin’s room in the middle of the night, homegirl was on her own.

John approached us, but he was still a ways off, and was stripping off his work clothes. He probably thought I was the one calling him since her didn’t know Ella and she lay on the ground, too scared to get up as Crispin glared.

“ANSWER ME,” he snarled.

“This is really inappropriate! JOHN!” Ella yelled. I flinched as she called my father’s name again. My heart was pounding and a lump formed in my throat. I didn’t want to stop Crispin, but I didn’t want him to do something that might get him sent to jail.

Crispin snarled, “All the way to Barbados? Didn’t I warn you, Novak?”

“Crispin, please,” she said, “I’m only doing my job. I wanted to say hello to Amina.”

“Everyone at school knows what he did to Amina,” Crispin said, completely ignoring the words coming out of her mouth, “Everyone. And if you insist on going through with this charade, I will be patient, but I will punish you.”

He meant it. I could feel it. A chill ran down my spine.

“Look at you,” Ella said, her mood shifting when she realized she wasn’t going to get her way, “Going so far out of your way for her.”

My stomach dropped. John Braithwaite’s footsteps were louder as he got closer to us. When he finally noticed Ella lying in the bushes, he stepped between her and Crispin, lifting her up and giving Crispin a weird look.

“What’s happening, man? Hello, white girl. John Braithwaite.”

Ella shook him off and snapped, “I didn’t ask for your help.”

“Easy, girl. Easy,” John said, “You called my name.”

He seemed concerned and like he might intervene, but he also knew Crispin even better than I did, so I assume he must have noticed that Crispin was furious.

“Wrong John,” Crispin answered, tersely “We’ll chat later. Okay?”

John knew Crispin well enough to get the message and he flashed me a sympathetic look as if to wish me luck with Crispin. I knew I’d need it.

“Are you sure you don’t need me?”

“I’m sure,” Crispin snapped. John decided to let it go, like he wasn’t worried the situation would escalate. I wasn’t so sure.

“Yes, boss man.”

John shrugged and returned to the gardens, casting a glance over his shoulder at Ella Novak.
