Chapter 29

“That guy has balls,” I said, completely shocked at what Vivienne related to us after I almost got beaned with her phone.

“And I’ll cut ’em off myself if I ever get my hands on him,” Vivienne spat. Her eyes were crackling with rage and her face was flushed. I was embarrassed to find her exquisitely beautiful in that moment, so I found something else to look at. Angry Vivienne was hotter than hell.

“Down, girl.” Pepper grabbed her by the arms and made her sit down. “Have you called the police?” She sat down beside her and clasped hands with her.

“No, I was too busy throwing a fit.” Vivienne’s flush grew deeper with her shame and I glanced at her in the mirror so she couldn’t see me.

“Well you better call them or Jake.” Pepper stood and went to the minibar. She retrieved a tiny bottle of brandy and cracked it open, handing it to her friend. “Have a drink. It’ll calm your nerves.”

Vivienne snatched the bottle and tipped it up, downing the entire thing in four large gulps.

Tossing the bottle into the trash, Vivienne stomped over to where her phone was still on the floor. Grabbing it, she rolled her eyes. “Thank goodness for a good case, eh?” Then she marched out to the balcony leaving me alone with Pepper.

“Remind me never to piss her off,” I said softly, craning to see her through the window.

Pepper laughed and smacked me in the arm.

“I’ve known her all my life and, I have to say, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her this mad before.”

I nodded and flopped onto the bed, throwing my arms above my head. Pepper had dropped the four dresses she’d been carrying when we arrived and she began picking them up off the floor. Hanging them on the back of the bathroom door, she took the plastic off each one.

“You think this is still a good idea? Going out tonight?”

“Yes,” Pepper insisted. “We need to keep her busy and active. Distracted from all this bullshit, as much as possible.”

“She’s pretty nervous about it.”

“Viv thinks too much,” Pepper sniffed. “When she stops thinking and just goes with the flow, she has a great time.” She winked at Will and smirked. “Look at the other night. You got a taste of the real Vivienne.”

I snorted.

“Pun intended?”

“Of course!”

Pepper was still laughing as she arranged the shoes when Vivienne came back into the room.

“Well?” we asked in unison.

Vivienne sighed and stretched out beside me on the bed. She laced the fingers of her hands together and rested them on her stomach.

“Jake said he would call the police. I don’t know if they can trace the call through phone records or not, but I sure as hell hope so.”

I brought my arms down to put one around her shoulders. She instinctively raised her head so I could get it under there. I squeezed her in support and she snuggled up next to me. Pepper tried not to show her pleasure, but I caught the grin spreading across her face as she turned around to continue her busy work.
