Chapter 5

Julianna sighed as she locked the door to her shop. It was Friday and she was so relieved that the week was finally over. This day in particular had been absolutely horrible. She’d barely slept last night so she looked like a wreck.

James had called several times throughout the day but she’d ignored all of the messages her staff had handed her. She hadn’t picked up any of the calls to her cell phone either. And she’d avoided her e-mail just in case he’d resorted to that method of communication. She felt like a rabbit trapped in her store, afraid to pop her head out for fear that the fox would snatch her up and eat her for dinner.

Glancing at her calendar, she sighed with frustration as she realized that the day was still not over. She had a dinner party tonight but thankfully it was with one of her college friends so it might be a relief, an escape from hiding at home and worrying if James was going to come by. She knew she had to avoid James at all costs because she was very afraid she might just end up in his bed again. She couldn’t allow that to happen.

Tomorrow she had a buying trip which would take her into the countryside through Sunday night, so that was another way for her to escape from James’ too-knowing gaze. Monday she had a committee meeting, Tuesday was some charity function and then by Wednesday, she should have him completely out of her system and she could move on with her life.

She took a deep breath as she locked up for the night, shutting out the gallery lights and slipping her leather purse over her shoulder. Walking out to her car, she started to feel stronger, more sure of herself now that she had a plan to avoid James for at least the next five days. He was handsome and attractive, strong and confident and he’d managed to squeak under her defenses despite what she knew was best for herself.

She glanced down at her cell phone, feeling guilty for not returning any of his phone calls today. It was the coward’s way of handling the situation and she knew better. But with James, he was just too persuasive and besides, when he was around, she couldn’t think properly. His closeness muddled her mind, made her think that he wasn’t as bad as she knew he was when he was away from her.

Yes, she knew intellectually that her argument made no sense at all. But she wasn’t dealing with her intellect right now. She had to figure out her emotions and then she could handle being rational. She should just talk to him. Her hand rested on the door handle to her car, hesitating as she considered just calling him up and asking him if they could talk. She actually enjoyed talking to him, but she didn’t think he would respect her need to stay away from him at least sexually.
