Chapter 17

Melissa stared into Aaron’s hard gaze, momentarily caught off guard. Christopher...?

And then it hit her, and her eyes bulged. Somehow, Aaron knew that she had been dating a man named Christopher. But how?

“I need to know,” Aaron said. “Is Christopher the reason you’ve been avoiding me? Is he your boyfriend?”

“How do you even know about Christopher?” Had he hired someone to look into her life?

“So you are seeing him,” Aaron surmised. Then he swore under his breath.

He looked upset, something Melissa didn’t expect. Did he actually care, or was this about his ego being hurt?

She could let him believe that she was involved with Christopher, though their brief relationship had ended eight months earlier. Maybe it would be easier this way. If Aaron thought she was involved with another man, he would leave her alone once and for all...

And yet she found herself saying, “No. Christopher and I are no longer involved.”

Aaron stared at her long and hard, as if trying to decide whether or not he believed her. After several moments, his features relaxed.

This had been bothering him. Melissa was confused.

“So he’s not the reason you sent me that email?” Aaron asked.

“No.”

“And what about another guy? Are you dating someone?”

“You said you didn’t think I was the type to engage in a one-night stand. Now you think I’m the type to sleep with you while I have a boyfriend?”

“Wine, music, a lapse in judgment. People do it all the time.”

“I don’t,” Melissa said, unable to hide her irritation.

“Good.” Aaron paused. “Because I need you to be my date tonight.”

Melissa’s eyes widened, even as her heart skipped a beat. “That’s quite presumptuous of you.”

“It’s an event I hope you’ll be willing to attend with me. It’s for a good cause.”

More like an excuse to get me naked again, she thought. Though she had herself to blame for Aaron believing that he could wiggle a finger and seduce her again. She’d been a far too eager participant last Saturday night.

“What is this good cause?” she asked, trying her best to keep her doubt from creeping into her voice.

“I’m in town for a charity fund-raiser tonight,” Aaron explained. “Have you heard about a little girl named Rosella Nunez?”

The name sounded familiar. And in an instant it came to her. “Yes, that little girl who needs a liver. She’s only two years old, and she’s going to die if she doesn’t have a transplant soon.”

“Yes, that’s her. Well, her father is a huge soccer fan. I know some of the guys who play for the New York Red Bulls. The team’s actually based out of Jersey, right nearby in Harrison.”

“Yes, that’s a suburb of Newark,” Melissa said.

“Anyway, some of the players heard about Rosella’s plight and suggested holding a fund-raiser for the family. It’s a tough situation. The parents have had to quit their jobs in order to provide round-the-clock care for Rosella, and they’ve exhausted almost every penny they have for medical care. Obviously this is a trying time for the family, and the fund-raiser tonight is to help lessen their financial burden.
