Chapter 12

The Fall Out

‘I’M GOING TO really miss you,’ Crystal murmured, wrapping her arms round Jake and pulling him back on to the bed and kissing him.

‘It’s only for a week,’ he replied surfacing from the kiss.

‘Do you know that’s the second longest time we’ve been apart since we met?’ Crystal said, wondering how she would survive without him. For the last four months they had become practically inseparable. She’d even stopped worrying about Stella because no matter how much she flirted with Jake he really didn’t show any interest in her beyond that of an employee and a friend. Jake didn’t even seem hung up about his ex any more and to Crystal’s delight he talked about getting rid of the tattoo of Eve’s name on his wrist, saying maybe he should get someone else’s name on his arm instead. ‘Okay,’ she’d replied, ‘maybe I’ll get one too.’ They didn’t have to say that they meant each other’s names. Crystal had fallen for him hard. She was in love. There was just one problem. Even though she thought they could not have been closer, Jake still hadn’t said he loved her and that stopped her from telling him. Tahlia advised her to be patient, and that he would tell her in his own time; Crystal just hoped that she was right.

Jake smiled. ‘Just think what a good time we’ll have catching up when I get back.’ And with that he kissed her again, got up from the bed, grabbed his bag and walked out of the door, pausing to turn round and blow her another kiss.

Crystal sighed as she curled up under the duvet, and, holding one of his T-shirts, she fell asleep. She was woken by her mobile, and, thinking it would be Jake texting her from the airport, she reached for it. But it was Max.

‘Back in London on Wed have to see you. Will call with time.’

Crystal felt as if she’d been punched. She’d almost forgotten about Max. Almost. She’d allowed herself to believe that he must have decided there was nothing more to be gained from blackmailing her. She’d obviously been wrong. She’d been burying her head in the sand about Max for too long. This couldn’t go on. She had to do something.

The girls were rehearsing the dance routines with Tash for the final two songs from their album – one would be their Christmas single, the other two would be released the following March. They’d all grown in confidence since their first single and now their videos were known for their sexy dances and slick concepts. Usually Crystal would have been full of enthusiasm. She was often at her happiest when she was working but that Monday morning she felt sick with dread and anxiety. Her mind was made up. There could be no more excuses: she was going to see Max and tell him that his hold on her was over, she would tell Belle what had happened. She was expecting her
