CHAPTER 13

Christian’s Birthday

Violet

I had really hoped that I would never have to see Jake again. It was a huge mistake that I accepted his offer to drive me down to Renton, and an even bigger mistake that I hadn’t forced him to stay outside.

Maybe a small part of me had hoped that his seeing the ceremony would help convince Jake that spirits and demons are real. A vain part of me wanted badly for him to acknowledge that I’m not crazy.

But of course none of that happened. He completely disregarded the whole thing as an elaborate hoax and blamed me for harming the child involved. That part of his accusation was particularly hurtful.

I didn’t really know what to think about his kiss. I’ve wanted him to kiss me for so long. But not with anger. Not with so much resentment pouring through him.

He was like a completely different person and I couldn’t be flattered that he wanted to have sex with me when at the same time his hurtful words revealed how low his opinion about me really ran.

A joke… he had called me a joke.

That night, when he drove me home, I went inside and cried. Praying that I would never have to see him again.

Unfortunately, the person who links us is Christian; who happens to be the person I love most in this world.

Despite my love for my brother, I seriously considered not attending his birthday party, just to avoid seeing Jake and his awful fiancée.

Christian had invited fifty of his closest friends to a celebration in one of his restaurants. It was his thirty-first birthday but since he never actually celebrated his thirtieth birthday, he was making up for it.

Jake would be there; he was always there for Christian, so the only way to avoid meeting him again was to stay away.

I spoke to Melody about it and she suggested that I could bring a hot date to boost my confidence a bit. The problem was that my only male friends were Daniel and Darren and one was gay and the other not exactly what anyone would consider hot. There was Jimmy, the police officer, who I considered to be fairly attractive, but it would probably be smarter to keep him out of my private mess for the sake of our work relationship.

Melody’s next suggestion was to hire an actor and make him seem completely crazy about me, but I’m too honest for that sort of deceit and I most likely couldn’t afford it anyway.

My solution of course was to ask my spirit guides for help and the next morning the answer came to me when Adam called me up out of the blue.

“It was good seeing you on New Year’s Eve,” he said in his deep pleasant voice.

“Yeah, same to you.”

“I wanted to ask you a favor, Violet,”

“Sure, what can I do for you?”

“There’s a student who wants to do an interview with me about spirituality. She called me half an hour ago and you know I’d love to help, but it sounded like she’s mostly interested in the kind of work you do.
