5.

Her Aunt was sleeping in the morning when she got up and left for school. Christina didn’t bother trying to wake her. She was still torn up over last night. She was mad and upset and, being honest with herself, she was confused.

She hiked her bookbag up higher on her shoulder and straightened her t-shirt. It had been a short night. After a few hours of sleep and some very pleasant dreams, some of which still made her blush, she had woken up slowly. Her aunt’s words had come back to her and she had begun to pick everything apart and wonder if maybe her aunt was right about her.

What was she doing? Was she actually thinking that Luke Averton could ever have feelings for someone like her? Seriously? He was rich, smart, good looking, and so far out of her league that he might as well be on another planet.

She felt so stupid.

School was four blocks away from where she lived. By the time she made it there she had convinced herself that she had been a fool. Luke had hired her to do a job for him. That was all.

She kept her head down and walked through her morning in a fog. She went to each of her classes and did all of her work and then went to lunch not remembering any of it.

The afternoon went a little slower. By the time the bell rang to end her day, her feet felt like they each weighed a ton. She didn’t want to go outside and meet the taxi she knew would be there waiting to take her to the Averton mansion. She knew she had to do it. She’d promised, not to mention her aunt would expect her to do it.

She ground her teeth. Shouldn’t she just tell her aunt that she was too old to be bossed around?

Christina sighed. If she did that, she’d find herself kicked out and then what would happen to her? It wasn’t like she had anywhere else to go.

So out she went to the parking lot behind the school and sure enough, there was Gus waiting in the taxi for her.

Gus was a short man, balding on top, with a wide and genuine smile. He opened the door for her now and she could see that he noticed the sour expression on her face.

“Hey there,” he said. “What’s wrong?”

She got into the back and laid her head against the cushioned seat. “It’s nothing, Gus. Just take me to the Averton place, please.”

“Sure, sure,” he said, behind the wheel already and moving out into traffic. “I can see you’re upset, though. Hey, why don’t you read that letter. That might cheer you up.”

“Letter?” She popped her eyes back open and looked down on the seat on both sides of her. “There’s nothing here.”

“Eh? Oh, sorry. Forgot to put it back there. Here.” He passed her a white envelope through the small slot in the security window between the front and back. “He asked me to give it to you, all personal like.
