Chapter 14

Rock woke the next morning with a painful erection, after dreaming the entire night about Vivian and their explosive kisses. She’d clawed her way deep into his heart without even trying.

An invigorating swim would not only cool his blood, but also work off some excess energy. He made his way to the pool house to don swimming shorts, when reality came roaring back.

Rock stared with disdain at the cast on his left ankle. How could he have forgotten that this stupid thing wasn’t supposed to get wet? Maybe because all your brain cells are occupied daydreaming about an auburn vixen.

He sank down onto one of the loungers and thought about the day before. Vivian seemed to be an honest woman. He truly wanted to believe that her running into him had been an unfortunate accident, but he had to be careful and couldn’t be too trusting. She’d admitted herself that she wanted to come out with a big story. He was still pondering the question when his cell phone rang.

“Hello?”

“Rock! Good, you’re awake. I’m calling to remind you that you’re set to meet with Carla Dawson for lunch.”

“Shit!” Rock cursed low,

“Something wrong?”

“No. But I totally forgot all about meeting her.” And I don’t want to go.

“Guess it’s a good thing you have me to remind you,” Tommy said, chuckling into the phone.

“If that’s true, why does this whole thing feel so wrong?” Rock scratched his tightly cropped beard.

“Come one. Since when do you refuse getting up and close with a hot babe? You’re a lucky guy; half the city wants to bang her.”

“No interested. This is just a business meeting.” Rock shook his head. It felt so wrong. The press would assume they were a couple. If he’d slept with only half of the women the press had attached him to, he’d rival the performance of a porno star.

“Whatever. Just tell me you’ll be there on time,” his friend said.

A thought attacked Rock like lightning and he almost dropped his phone at the impact. I have to tell Vivian. He knew Tommy and was one hundred percent sure that he’d leaked information to the press, about a possible romance between Rock and the actress. Normally he didn’t mind. He’d been coupled up with women he’d never seen in his life and every time he talked to one for longer than five minutes, rumors of marriage made the rounds. This was just the way it was in Hollywood.

But Vivian. If she saw the news, she’d jump to the wrong conclusions – and be pissed. And rightfully so. Rock’s heart constricted at the chance that she might never talk to him again due to a publicity induced misunderstanding.

“Rock?” Tommy questioned, reminding him he was still on the line.

“Yeah, I’ve got it. I’ll be there with a smile on my face.”

“That’s my man. Call me later.” Rock hung up and called Vivian. It went straight to voicemail. He didn’t leave a message. That kind of news was better told in person.
