Chapter Fourteen

The Red Witch was just down the block from their house, which meant Gigi only had to worry about being accosted by paparazzi for two hundred meters. She’d been safe for the past couple months, but given all the recent attention she didn’t want to take a chance: she shrouded herself in black.

She was halfway there when she heard someone call “Gigi!” behind her.

So few people called her Gigi. She stopped in her tracks. The voice sounded an awful lot like—

Turning around, she watched Dirk jog toward her, wearing his usual happy-go-lucky grin.

For a moment she felt a pang of sadness. He’d been sweet when they’d been together. Who knew he’d been hiding razor blades in the confectioner’s sugar? Because only a truly heinous person would sell nude pictures of his lover to the tabloids.

She lifted her head and whirled around, continuing on her way.

He fell into step next to her. “Gigi, it’s so good seeing you.”

“This is a bad idea.” She quickened her steps. “You’re taking your life in your hands right now.”

Dirk leaned forward in her field of vision, apparently oblivious of her anger. He was pretty, but he wasn’t very bright. “I’ve been trying to get a hold of you, but your number’s changed.”

Because after the world saw her naked all over the Internet, every Tom, Dick, and Harry had tried to call her. But she didn’t need to explain herself to Dirk. She had the Red Witch in sight.

“Gigi, I’ve been reconsidering our relationship.” He tried to take her hand.

“We don’t have a relationship,” she said, stuffing her hands in her pockets.

“You know I love you.”

She stopped, anger flushing her whole body. “You don’t sell photos of someone you love to the tabloids.”

“You aren’t going to believe me, but I didn’t sell those pictures.” When she said nothing, he threw his hands in the air. “I swear! It was my manager.”

“How does your manager know what sort of pictures you have on your phone?”

“I may have shown him.”

Of course he did. Shaking her head, she began to walk again. Maybe if she ignored him, he’d go away.

“Gigi, wait.” Dirk grabbed her arm. “I know I screwed up—”

“You didn’t just screw up. You sold me out.” She yanked her arm from his hold and hit him on the shoulder. “You exposed private things about me to the whole world, for your own personal gain. How do you think that feels?”

“Sucky,” he said sadly, with simple but unerring accuracy.

Wonderful—he was remorseful. But that didn’t change anything. She hurried toward the pub’s door. “Go away, Dirk. We’re done.”

“Is it because of the new guy you’re seeing?”

She froze and then whirled around. “What?”

“The new guy in the rags.” He walked up to her and took her hand again. “I just want to know if I still have a chance.”

“Are you serious?” She gaped when she saw that he was. “Why would I give you another chance?”

“Because I love you.”

She laughed, hearing the bitterness in her own voice. “You love me so much you had to put the video we took of us, of a private moment between us, on YouTube.
