The Redhead Revealed

Chapter 13

As Jack walked Marcia over to meet me, I set my empty glass down and tried hard not to fidget. But I was a fidgeter from way back. Even Jack had noticed it, and he knew when I was nervous.

Upon arrival, he immediately took my hand and squeezed it. “Don’t fidget, Crazy. You look beautiful,” he whispered.

I smiled at him and turned to Marcia. She was still smiling brightly at me.

“Marcia, this is Grace,” he said, and my heart actually stopped when I heard him say her name. At one point he’d probably said it the way he said mine.

“Grace, I’m so happy to finally meet you. He talks about you all the time,” she said, and leaned into kiss both my cheeks.

Ah, shit. I don’t want to like this bitch.

Jack smiled. He was enjoying this.

I kissed her back and smiled.

“Yes. I’ve heard a lot about you recently as well,” I said, and she blushed a little.

“I know. Can you believe the rumors that get started?” she said.

Jack smirked as if to say “I told you so.” I gave him a sharp look, and he just rolled his eyes.

“I need to talk to you,” I whispered in a low voice, trying to convey urgency. I needed to tell him what had happened with the photographer.

“Oh, I already know what you want to talk about. That was the topic of conversation on the carpet out there,” he whispered back, arching an eyebrow and staring down at me.

“I don’t know what happened. I was just trying to get inside and—” I started, then Marcia interrupted me.

“Your dress is beautiful. Where’d your stylist find it?” she asked.

“Oh, I, uh, I found it myself. Bergdorf’s. New York. No stylist,” I stammered. This child was freaking me out, and I hated that. I wished I had another drink.

“Oh, that’s right. How are you enjoying Manhattan? It’s a wonderful place to live, isn’t it? Are you planning to sell your house here?” she asked, locking eyes with me.

Hmmm. She knew an awful lot about my plans.

“I don’t know yet what I’m going to do. It all depends on what happens with the show, doesn’t it, Sweet Nuts?” I asked, leaning further into his arm as he wrapped it around my waist.

“Sweet Nuts?” she asked, wrinkling her nose.

“Private joke,” I said, kissing on Jack’s neck.

With radar as good as the military, Holly swooped in just at that moment and took Jack’s arm. “I need you for a few minutes before the film starts,” she said to Jack. “Come with me please? Ladies,” she said in parting, shooting me the hairy eyeball.

“Ladies, I’ll see you in there,” Jack echoed. “Grace, we’ll talk about this later. Don’t worry,” he said. He tried to lean to in to kiss me, but Holly Go-Cockblocker was right there.

“Please,” she said and pulled him away with a furious glance at me.

“I’m sorry,” I mouthed, then realized I was alone with Marcia.

“So,” I started, and she looked at me expectantly.

But the universe was kind and sent me an angel.
