Chapter 9

I stare at my phone, blinking to bring the picture into focus. The benefit and disadvantage living life in a tight circle of friends and family is your business is never truly your business.

A stare at Max and Stephanie having dinner, and I have to decide on my next move. I expand the picture brushing my fingers across the screen of my phone. Yes, that's him and her. I swipe through the others. Them leaning close together. Him laughing. Her smiling up at him, and I recognize the look in her eyes.

I rub my eyes glancing at the time before dialing his number, not sure what I’ll say.

"Hello." The sound of sleep lingers in his voice, and for a moment, I wish I was there instead of here, still working.

“Busy?”

“Nah, what time is it?” I hear him move around.

“Ten after midnight… Are you alone?” I place the call on speaker to look at the pictures again.

“What?” His voice cuts through the silence in my office.

“You heard me, are you alone?”

"Are you fucking serious right now, Parker?" His laughter is gruff and lacks any resemblance of humor.

“As a heart attack.” I stand picking up my phone from the desk. “I’m on my way.”

“Don’t do me any favors.” His voice is cold and exact. “You call five hours late trying to check my whereabouts.”

“It didn’t take long for you to find a willing substitute.”

“What are you talking about? Please clue me in on the shit going on in your head.”

“You and Stephanie.” A cold knot forms in my stomach. I grab my purse and keys heading for the door.

"What do you have, spies, watching me?"

“No, I have friends concerned about seeing my man cozied up with her.”

"I call you nonstop all day, and you don't stop to respond to a single message, but you hear about me having a conversation with Stephanie, and you finally pick up the phone."

My heart drops stunned by his words. “I got—”

“Tied up. The problem is you’re always tied up. Showing houses, Platinum Prestige, babysitting, guy SOS calls."

“I will not choose between my life and you.” I’m yelling to match pace with him.

“If that’s all you got out of this conversation, I’ll talk with you later. Good night Parker.”

“Max…”

I stop on the sidewalk outside my office. I lock the doors and minutes later I ring the doorbell to his suite. The evidence stacked against me doesn't look good. But this is my life, and he didn't explain why he was having dinner with Stephanie if he was supposedly waiting around for me.

Max opens the door, and I want to quiet the storm raging in his eyes. His chest is bare, and his boxers hang low on his hips. He doesn't say a word.

I close the door behind us, dropping my purse and keys on the table. He falls to the couch, his hair is wild, and I stop waiting, for what I don’t know.

I don’t believe he has an interest in Stephanie, but it doesn't lessen the sting of seeing the pictures.
