CHAPTER 17
Recognizing her from the day of the photo shoot, the guard waved Kate through the gates to Angela’s house without asking for id. Kate’s heart was beating fast as she pulled into the carport. Before exiting her truck, she reapplied her Burt’s Bees Lip Therapy. It left her lips feeling tingly from the peppermint ingredients. She ran her fingers through her hair and adjusted the tube top she was wearing under her peasant blouse.
Immediately after Kate rang the doorbell, Angela opened the door and walked out, closing the door behind her. “Hi Kate,” Angela said, while extending herself to give Kate a slight hug. Angela felt butterflies in her stomach. Kate looked beautiful and smelled even better, like rose petals and peppermint. Angela wanted to bring her up to her room and kiss her from head to toe. Angela was getting wet thinking about it.
“Hi,” Kate said, stunned by Angela’s sudden exit from the front door. Kate felt like she was a teenager on her first date. She felt so young and full of lust. It was like she was sixteen and with Eve all over again.
“I’d ask you in but Jason’s got some of his perverted buddies in there who’ll just leer at you and make obscene comments. Is it ok if we just go?” The truth was that none of Jason’s buddies were in the house. Angela didn’t want Jason and Kate in the same room together, especially since he’s been acting weird. She also feared he’d start offering up his opinions again about “being careful”. Plus, she didn’t want the object of her affection interacting with fake husband, anyway. Sometimes he really complicated her life way too much for her to want to continue with this charade.
“I’m a big girl. I can handle perverts. But, if you’re ready, that’s fine.” Angela seems awfully anxious about leaving so quickly. Maybe there was something else going on that Angela wasn’t telling her? Kate thought.
“Yes. Let’s go,” Angela said, hurriedly.
“You’ll have to direct me to where we’re going,” Kate said as she approached her SUV.
“The restaurant isn’t that far. Once you get to the end of the driveway, head toward Santa Monica Boulevard.” Angela pulled the seat belt over her shoulder, locking it, and then shut the car door.
“Are you hungry? You really seem in a hurry.” Kate turned the ignition of her car and reversed out of the carport.
“Yeah, I’m pretty hungry.” The truth was that Angela wasn’t very hungry. She was nervous and it scared the crap out of her. She felt like she had no control over her feelings, like a little girl with an out-of-control crush. “I’ve also been holed up in that house all week. It feels great to be out of there,” Angela said.
“I know what you mean. I couldn’t wait to get out of my house. I’m having Marisol stay with me. She is so depressed. I love her, but she really is a downer to be around right now,” Kate said, in a melancholy tone.
