Chapter Five

The ride to the fundraiser was quiet. Earlier, Gabriel had changed into his tuxedo after escorting me from the salon. I waited in the front, absently looking at the clothes on the racks and trying hard not think about his decided lack of reaction to my appearance or his plans for Sunday. He appeared a short time later, looking so beautiful I could hardly believe him real.

His slicked back hair told me he’d seen Annette recently. The style matched my vintage look and made him look like a Hollywood god of old. His full lips and hypnotic gaze would’ve been welcomed on the big screen.

Too bad his unsmiling expression wasn’t as welcoming in person.

After picking up a bag containing my work clothes and shoes and another one containing his, Gabriel guided me out the door and into his limousine. Now we sat next to another in nauseating silence.

“Do you still want to go with me, Emma?”

I knew it! He’s already regretting asking me!

I raised my chin and steeled myself for the inevitable rejection. “You can drop me off at the office if you changed your mind.”

“That’s not what I asked you.”

“I heard what you asked.”

“Then answer me please.”

I looked out the window. “You have a lot of nerve, Gabriel, you know that? I don’t have time for this.”

“Why won’t you answer me?”

“Why did you ask the question?” I snapped. “You want me to cry off so you don’t have to feel bad? Fine!” The limo drew to a stop at a traffic light. I reached for the door handle, fully prepared to hoof it back to Obelisk Pointe.

Gabriel yanked me back against the seat. He shoved his face into mine and growled, “Are you out of your mind?”

“Obviously, since I agreed to go this thing with you when it’s clear—” I clamped my mouth shut.

“Finish your sentence.”

I shrugged, mulishly keeping my teeth together.

“You always think the worst of me, Emma,” Gabriel muttered inches away from my flushed face. “Why is that?”

“Look, it doesn’t matter—”

“Yes, it does! It matters because I won’t let you close me out, Emma. Not this time around!”

“Close you out? You’re the one who closed me out, Gabriel! You’ve barely looked at me since I finished getting ready. What? Do I so offend your upper-class sensibilities? Already regretting going slumming, Mr. Gordon?”

I didn’t care that he’d narrowed his gaze at me or clenched his jaw tightly. I was too incensed to stop.

“Or is it that your girlfriend might catch wind of you being out with me tonight instead of her?”

A deep frown bisected his brow. “Girlfriend? I don’t have a girlfriend!”

“Okay, then maybe your fancy piece will throw a fit that you went out someplace without her. I don’t know and frankly don’t care.”

“Liar.”

I clenched my fists hard. Nails bit into my palm, stinging me enough to keep from unleashing my temper onto him.

“Watch what you say to me, Gabriel. I’m not one of your lackeys that you can talk to anyway you want.”

“And you better watch what you say to me, Emma.
