Chapter 18

Ethan pulled his phone out of his pocket and text his brother the phone number he had gotten from Julie's phone. If she wasn't going to talk to him, then he was going to figure it out himself. There was no way that call meant nothing to her. He had spent too much time around her to believe what she was telling him. He pulled out onto the road and dialed John's number.

“I need some help, John,” Ethan said when John answered.

“Anything man. What's going on?” John asked.

Ethan told John everything about him and Julie. He made John promise to keep everything they were discussing from Gavin. He talked about the fact that they were hooking up and that he had told Julie everything about his parents and the money. John could not believe he had told her. Ethan told him about the phone call she had taken at the shower and how she had reacted. He also mentioned that she talked about not trusting men and learning her lesson. Ethan thought back to how she acted when he mentioned cuffing her. She was afraid. He snapped out of it and continued talking to John. Ethan asked him to find out whose number he text him and everything about the guy. She said the person who called her was an ex.

Ethan pulled into her driveway, parked behind her car, and hung up his phone. He watched as she stood on her porch, looking down at a vase of flowers. Slowly, he walked up behind her.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

“I'm fine,” she said. “Why?”

“Where did those come from?” he asked pointing to the flowers.

“I have no idea. There's no card with them. Maybe they left them at the wrong house.”

Ethan felt jealous for a moment, until he thought about the fact that she looked worried and not happy. Who were they from, he wondered?

“I guess I 'm not the only one who has sent your flowers lately,” he said.

He didn't want her to know he was still trying to figure out what was going on, so he decided to play the jealous card.

“Very funny,” she said, as she opened the front door.

She walked into her house and held the door for him.

“Aren't you going to bring the flowers in?”

“No,” she answered. “I'm going to go change and grab by bathing suit. I'll be back in a few minutes.”

She walked out of the room and he walked back onto the porch. There was a sticker on the bottom of the vase with the name of the shop the flowers came from. He hurried to text himself the name. She was back outside in less than five minutes with a bag.

“Give me the car keys. You promised I could drive,” she said with a smile.

He had never let anyone drive his favorite car before, but it made him feel good to see her so happy about it. It was too bad that he could tell her smile was forced. What was she so afraid of? Ethan held the keys out but didn't let go when she grabbed them.
