CHAPTER 26: ADAM

I feel like I’ve searched every square inch of the bar before I finally run into Kylie.

“Have you seen Emily?” I ask.

She nods. “She wasn’t feeling well. She headed home.”

It’s then I remember what I figured out at the meeting...I’m almost positive Kylie is pregnant.

But now’s not the time to question her about it. Not only are we both wearing mic packs and surely cameras are nearby, but I need to find Emily. I need to tell her it’s all just a misunderstanding.

And not just that.

The neighborhood around here is safe, but I need to make sure she got home okay.

“Alone?” I ask.

She shakes her head. “Amber was with her.”

I nod. “Thanks.”

I dash off toward home, running the entire way. I switch off my mic pack halfway there, but when I get home, the house is dark. I check my bedroom anyway, but the light’s off and the room is empty.

She’s not here.

I try calling her, but she doesn’t pick up.

“Fuck,” I mutter to myself as I slide onto my bed. An hour ago, everything was great. I was planning to tell Emily I’d fallen for her when we got back here tonight, and now I don’t even know where she is.

I try texting instead.

Me: I need to talk to you. Can you pick up?

When my message reads as delivered but she doesn’t reply, my chest hollows.

I try calling my sister next since Kylie said they were together, but when the call goes to voicemail, I try texting instead.

Me: Are you with Emily?

Her reply takes a while, but it does eventually come.

Amber: Yes, and she’s pretty upset. I think she just needs a night.

I blow out a breath. Did Bree manage to ruin this for me? I have to explain. I have to find a way to let Emily know that the kiss didn’t mean anything.

But she won’t pick up...and to be honest, she’s being a little dramatic. She signed a contract agreeing to be my fake wife, nothing more. This only tells me that she has feelings for me, too. She has to, because the kiss shouldn’t have affected her this much otherwise.

I send her another text and cross my fingers as I wait for it to show as delivered.

Me: I’m sorry. It wasn’t what it looked like. Let me explain.

My heart races as I watch the bubbles appear to indicate she’s typing a response. And when that response comes through, my heart drops.

Emily: There’s nothing to explain. This is just a fake marriage anyway, right? Spending the night at Amber’s.

Yeah, it is a fake marriage, but it’s also becoming more to me...and I thought it was to her, too, but clearly I was wrong. And so, with that in mind, I send her another text.

Me: Don’t forget we have Sacramento tomorrow. It’s in your contract to come with me.

It’s a little harsh, maybe, but it’s also a reminder that she can’t just run away. She signed an agreement that she’d accompany me to band functions, and a concert in Sacramento is part of those obligations.
