CHAPTER 12

“It’s not a date,” Freddie insisted as she kept her eyes closed so her friend could work on her eyebrows. “We’re just watching a movie together.”

“Riiiight!” Winter didn’t even bother hiding her sarcasm as she added, “That’s why you rushed to my office to make me do your make up.”

“Is it a crime to look good while watching a movie with a friend?”

“A friend? Uh huh! Okay! All right!” Winter snorted. While highlighting Freddie’s eyebrows with a pencil, she teased, “Then why are you going to see him with that itsy bitsy dress on?”

“It’s not itsy bitsy.” Freddie insisted, “It just looks that way cause I’m fat.”

“And you didn’t know that when you put it on?”

“What do you want from me, lady?”

Admittedly, the white dress Freddie had chosen for the movie with Lex was a bit snug and the heels were the highest pair she had. And okay, she usually didn’t dress up when meeting her friends or even Wesley when they were dating. But for some reason, she’d just felt like dressing up tonight. What was so wrong with a woman wanting to dress up for herself?

“Your eyes are done. Next your nose,” Winter said. “I better work on it before it starts to grow from all that lying to yourself ish.”

Freddie glared at her friend. “Are you saying I’m lying to myself?”

Winter only laughed.

Before Freddie could come up with more excuses to defend herself against these ridiculous accusations, her phone rang. Lex? Her heart immediately started to beat faster as she reached for the phone. However, when she checked the screen and saw who was calling, disappointment and anger set in.

“Wesley?” Winter made a face when she saw who was calling. “Isn’t he tired yet?”

“Ugh! Apparently not.”

“What does he want now?”

“I don’t know-” Sneering, Freddie set the phone back on the desk. “-and I don’t care.”

A minute later, the phone beeped, indicating a message. Probably Wesley. Freddie was planning to ignore it but another thought snuck in. What if it’s Lex? She quickly reached for the phone.

Of course the message was from Wesley.

“Wesley again?” Winter asked as she finished contouring Freddie’s nose.

“Yup.”

Winter guffawed. “Maybe it’s another song.”

“Don’t know, don’t care.” Freddie set the phone back on the desk.

A second later, another message came in. Soon the third message beeped its entrance. Freddie didn’t want to check the text – she really didn’t. But curiosity got the better of her. As soon as Winter was done with her nose, she picked her phone up to check what Wesley had to say.

‘I’ve still got your grandma’s bracelet,’ the first message read.

Freddie sucked in a sharp breath. The bracelet was the only jewelry she’d inherited from her father’s late mother. How could she not have noticed that it was missing? How could she not have noticed that she’d left it at Wesley’s house?

The second message was simply an image of the bracelet.

The third message read, ‘If you don’t come and get it, it’s going in the trash.’

That douche-bag! He knew how precious that bracelet was to Freddie.
