Chapter 11: Shelly
LATER THAT NIGHT.
We rolled onto Broadway. Grayson had ordered me another dress. This one was black and it glittered like the nighttime sky every time I moved. The tight material hugged my body, creating an hourglass figure I never knew existed.
Grayson rounded the car and wrapped his arm around my waist. He leaned against my neck and kissed me there. âI have to mark my territory. I wouldnât want any of these other men thinking they could snatch you away from me.â
âFirst of all, Iâm not your territory.â I snapped. âSecond of all, you were the one who bought me such a revealing dress. They probably wouldnât be looking my way if my breasts were actually covered. Iâm one wardrobe malfunction away from flashing the world.â
Grayson chuckled. âOh, lay off. I saw the way your eyes lit up at the sight of this dress. You like it, donât even lie.â When he finished speaking, he tossed the car keys at the valet. The young man got behind the wheel and drove off. Another luxury vehicle took its place.
Out stepped a tall, beautiful woman with golden hair. She had a killer smile and she flashed it right at Grayson.
âMadison.â He greeted, leaving me behind. âItâs a pleasure â as always.â He took her hand and kissed her knuckles.
The woman laughed and the sound seemed to pierce right through my soul. I ground my teeth together as jealousy flared inside my body. I walked right up to them and cleared my throat. âHoney, we should probably get inside. The show is about to start any minute now and I wouldnât want to miss anything.â
âOh?â The woman tilted her head and raised her manicured nails up to her lips. âAnd who might this be?â
âIâm Graysonâs girlfriend and Iâd appreciate it if you didnât flirt with him so blatantly. Now, Iâm not trying to start a fight or anything ââ My voice took on a certain edge as I stepped closer. Before things could escalate any further, Grayson took me by the elbow and reeled me into his body.
âYouâll have to excuse her, Madison. Sheâs a jealous one but God do I love her.â
Madison smiled. âI apologize for the misunderstanding. Grayson is just an old-time friend of mine. I havenât seen him in quite a while.â
I narrowed my eyes in her direction. âAn old-time friend, huh?â The morningâs conversation came to mind. Could this be Graysonâs so-called business partner? No, she couldnât be. Miss Blonde didnât look like the type to run an illegal operation.
âYes.â Just then, she was called on by another woman. She politely excused herself and walked away with a click of her heels and a sway of her hips. My jaw tensed just at the sight of her. It honestly wasnât fair that some people ended up being so beautiful.
âWhat was all that about?â Grayson asked as we approached the ticket counter.
âNothing,â I muttered.
âNothing? It looked like you were gonna pounce on her for a second. I never thought you could be so jealous ââ
âIâm not jealous.
