Chapter Twenty-One

Reece

I frown as I put my phone down on the table after trying calling again. Alexa isn’t picking up for some reason, which is really strange. I know that she’s finished work, the shop closed hours ago, but she isn’t talking to me. This morning was amazing, there isn’t any reason that she’d be ignoring me… which has me worried. I can’t stop myself from freaking out and fearing that something really bad has happened.

Stop it, I warn myself. Don’t get carried away, you idiot. There will definitely be some reason.

“I think that the least you can do is pay for my cab!” Valencia’s shrill voice bursts through my home. She’s been doing this on and off all day long, driving me insane. “I need to get out of here somehow.”

She enters the room with her face like thunder. Fury explodes across her expression as our eyes meet.

“I already said that I would pay you until the end of the month…”

“But I do not want to stay here. I do not want to be around you.”

“Okay then sure. I will pay for the cab.” I shake my head, frustrated. “Whatever it takes.”

I just want her gone now, I want her out of my life so I can start to move on. There is so much to be done now, and I want to get started right away. Out of respect, I cannot begin to look for a new nanny while Valencia is still here. Also, I won’t be able to do it until she’s gone, because she’s making so much noise. I don’t know anyone who needs to take such a long time, who needs to make so much noise, packing up.

“Right, and I might need the money for a hotel as well.”

“You don’t have a home to go to?” I demand, starting to lose my patience. “Because it feels like you’re just taking the piss a bit now. I will admit that things weren’t handled perfectly. But I offered you a good solution to the problem and you absolutely refused to take it. You didn’t need to leave right away…”

“Then maybe I won’t…” she snaps back, taking the bait in totally the wrong way.

“But due to your behavior today, I’m going to have to insist that you do. This tense atmosphere is no good for Oliver and his happiness is my main priority now, as I’m sure you are aware.”

“Urgh.” She rolls her eyes and stomps from the room. “Fine, whatever.”

There’s more banging and crashing, plus a whole string of swear words. Thank goodness Oliver can only make noises at the moment, he isn’t yet picking up words. But while she’s out of the room, I don’t need to focus on her. I can concentrate on the other issue at hand which is Alexa. I need to find out what’s going on with her in any way possible. I don’t want to invade her privacy or anything, I just want to know that she’s okay.

An idea pops in to my mind.
