Chapter 14

One week from the night at the club, and Angela was sure she’d have a mental breakdown. Thank heaven it was Friday. Between working late all week, walking on pins and needles waiting for Jerry to drop the bomb about seeing her at Sweethearts and playing the memory of having sex with Isaiah on repeat, she was more than ready for the weekend and a glass of wine. Maybe three.

They weren’t training on Fridays so she was able to slip out of the office right before five. A few coworkers smiled and waved, but no one stopped her to talk, avoided her gaze, or whispered behind their hands. She was tempted to believe Jerry was going to let everything that happened the week before go, but she wasn’t that naive. He wouldn’t be that nasty to her only to drop everything. Which meant her pins-and-needles walk was going to last over the weekend.

The back of her neck prickled when she got to her car. She looked over her shoulder and spotted Jerry and a few people from his section walking out of the office. They hadn’t been in the same training group so she hadn’t seen him much during the week. Now, he met her eye, throwing her a smug smile. Angela’s stomach constricted but she responded to the look with a glower. She should have said something to Tamara, but figured Jerry would have said something first. No more waiting the jerk out; she’d call Tamara over the weekend and give her a heads-up.

With one last glare at Jerry, she got into her car, started the engine and turned the air-conditioning on full blast. She rolled down the windows until the air-conditioning conquered the excessive heat inside her car.

She had to pick up Cory by six o’clock today. The Gators had taken the kids to the beach for a barbecue. The staff had made it very clear that all kids needed to be picked up by six, no excuses since they weren’t at the center.

She’d worked late all week and had informed Keri that either Vicki or Nate would pick up Cory. A cop-out to avoid Isaiah, but she needed breathing room. She and Cory, on the other hand, had come to a truce. He’d have a babysitter until he was fourteen at the end of the summer. But he wouldn’t need one tonight because Angela would be picking him up, and she knew there was a good chance she’d see Isaiah. Her hands gripped the steering wheel. Isaiah didn’t have her number so she hadn’t expected a call, or for him to send a message via Cory. That didn’t make it easier to move on from what happened, or keep her mind from asking pointless questions she certainly wasn’t going to ask Cory about. Was Isaiah back with Bridget? Had he thought of her? Did he really only come to the club that night to sleep with her? The questions were pointless because they changed nothing.
