Chapter 9

Chloe felt a little better about everything when she woke up the next day. After she went for her run....with the Hulk a few steps behind, she took her shower and thought about her plans for the day. She had two new text messages from Derek, pleading with her to talk to him. After all that had taken place the past couple of days, she wondered if she was ready. She knew that she didn’t want him showing up and seeing the guy who was watching her and asking questions about that. She definitely wasn’t ready to tell him about Jesse. Was she ready to face whatever it was he’d found about her and his late wife? She wasn’t sure about that either but she was coming to realize that as long as she put it off, it was just going to eat away at her and become bigger than life. With a resigned sigh, she went out first to talk to the big guy.

He was in his usual spot. He still looked a little winded from their run. She hadn’t spoken to him at all so far and she found it slightly amusing that he looked a little bit nervous as she approached him.

“Hi,” she said. “I’m Chloe.” He stood up and took off his glasses. She could see now that he had really pretty blue eyes. His were probably real. She’d have to tell Lexi about them, which would make her friend’s day.

“I’m Brock,” he said. His name and his voice matched the rest of him...all male.

“Brock, I know that Roxi sent you to look after me. I have something that I need to do today though, and I need to do it alone. I can assure you that I will be safe where I’m going and that if you check it with Roxi as I’m sure you will, she’ll tell you to let me go without following me. I appreciate you watching the house. That way, I don’t have to worry about coming home to any surprises. My roommate is there and she’ll probably be home until she has to go to work this evening. I’ll bet she wouldn’t even mind if you joined her for a bite to eat.”

He was looking at her warily. She knew Roxi and Roxi instilled fear in the biggest of men for some reason. It was just a quality she had. Something she exuded without even trying. “Um...okay, but I will have to check with Roxi first...”

“That’s fine,” she told him. “Thanks for your diligence.”

He smiled and said, “Chloe...”

“Yes?”

“Roxi didn’t tell me what your story was, but if I’m on the look-out for a guy who enjoys hurting women...I can guarantee you that he won’t get anywhere near you on my watch.”

The look on his face restored a tiny bit of her faith in the male species. He was definitely one of the good guys. She might just push this fantasy of Lexi’s along. Lexi deserved a good one in
