Chapter 14

‡

For the second time today, Evan regretted his actions. At the rehearsal he thought he’d done too much and now he knew he’d done too little. He’d been so shocked to see her that he’d felt like he was on a time delay the whole time she was talking.

Evan barely registered the streak of blonde hair fly by him. He shot to his feet at the same moment his front door slammed. He made it to the door just in time to see Shayne leap into the back of a black Lincoln. Within seconds, the car had pulled away.

She was gone.

Again.

Now he stood in the doorway, staring in disbelief at the spot where her car had been.

Shayne Fox had just shown up at his house and told him that he was the only man that made her pulse race and her knees weak. She’d even told him that she’d never had an orgasm with another man. Except Roger.

Roger. He grinned to himself as he returned to the couch and lowered onto it. He had a sneaking suspicion that she had no idea how damn adorable she was and that just added to her charm.

His mind started processing what had just unfolded. He thought about everything that Shayne had said, how nervous she’d been, how cute she was.

She’d said he was different, but really she was the one who was different. She wasn’t at all what he’d thought. She was young, but so mature for her age. She’d been in rehab, but she’d explained to the crew that it had been for her anxiety. She was attracted to him, but even that had a different twist to it.

He was captivated by her. All of her. Her beauty, talent, intelligence, heart, bravery, directness, and maybe most of all her quirkiness. He loved the way that every emotion played across her stunning features. He supposed that came in handy in her career.

The doorbell rang and he was so lost in thought he jumped about an inch off of the sofa cushions. Every muscle in his body tensed. Was she back? Did he have a chance to redeem himself?

He swung open the door and disappointment filled his chest.

It was Shaggy.

“Let me grab my wallet.”

“I heard you’re working on the movie.” The kid leaned forward and poked his head in the doorway as Evan got the cash.

“Yeah.” He dropped his wallet back down on the end table and exchanged the money for the large cardboard box.

“I saw Shayne Fox yesterday.” Awe filled the kid’s voice.

Evan wondered how the teenager would’ve reacted if he’d have shown up a few minutes earlier.

“She walked right by me. She’s so hot.”

Yes. She is.

“I can’t believe she’s with that douche Blane Freely.”

He’d heard Ruby saying that the two of them had broken up, but that didn’t stop the same feeling that he’d had when he’d seen the PA throw up his hand coming over him now.

“If she wasn’t, I’d totally ask her out.” The kid stated with the kind of blind optimism that was a byproduct of youth as he hopped off Evan’s porch.
