Chapter - Eight

I was in such a hurry the next morning to leave for work that I forgot to take my medication. I knew I’d have enough time if I jammed home on my lunch hour, so I let Gloria know that I was going to be gone. When I pulled up, I was surprised to not see Patricia’s car. I figured she must have already left. I went in and checked the kitchen first and found no one, so I figured they must be outside. I hurried down the hall, checking my watch to be sure I had enough time. And I heard giggling. Female giggling. Then I heard Danny’s voice. What the—

“Come on, Danny! You can’t tell me you don’t miss it.”

My stomach turned to acid. I couldn’t make my feet move.

“I do, Brooke. But things are different-”

I came around the corner to see Danny in a towel in the doorway of the bathroom. He must have caught the motion out of the corner of his eye.

“Jesse! What are you doing here, honey?” He acted completely innocent, just confused. I tried not to hyperventilate.

I stepped further into the room and saw Brooke sitting on the settee next to the closet, thank God, and fully clothed. She, however, had a knowing smirk, as if she knew exactly what I was going to think of this scenario.

I pushed past Danny and into the bathroom. ”I forgot my medication,” I muttered and grabbed for my pill tray. Danny stepped up behind me and tried to pull me into a hug, which I resisted. ”I’m going to be late getting back. I’ll see you later.” I couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

Danny was faster. “Hey,” he called out from the doorway. I turned and glanced back down the hall. ”I love you,” he said, sounding a little unsure. I shook my head and raised an eyebrow. ”What?” he asked.

I rolled my eyes. ”I’ll see you tonight.” I slammed the door behind me and ran to my car, running out of time. I dialed Nora and put it on speaker.

“Jesse, what’s up?” she answered, sounding concerned.

I groaned. ”It’s probably nothing, but I just ran in to grab my meds and found Danny in a fucking towel and Brooke sitting in the room with him. Does he not get it!?”

Nora cursed. “No, he most certainly does not. Don’t worry. I’ll head in there and create a diversion. I’ll let him know in no uncertain terms that he’s being a jackass.”

I thanked her and downshifted as I hung up and flew back down Sunset. I prayed for no traffic. My phone started buzzing as I pulled into the lot at school.
