buzz of his vibrating cell phone broke through his clouded mind and for the first time since they had met, Jeremy felt no joy at seeing Violet’s name flashing on the caller ID. He picked up because he couldn’t willfully ignore her phone calls, but the call was brief, hearing her voice failed to cheer him up and when he hung up, he did it with a heavy heart. All his life he had sacrificed things to achieve his goals and be good at his job and now he would have to sacrifice love but he didn’t know how he would be able to.
CHAPTER TWELVE:
Two entire days went by with no word from Jeremy when Violet started to feel worried.
It was so unlike him to not even message. She called his cell phone but it went straight to voicemail. An hour later, she called his office directly and Lynn picked up the phone. But when she asked for Jeremy, she was told he was with patients and couldn’t talk right now but could she take a message?
Before long it was late in the evening and Jeremy still hadn’t called her back. By now Violet was starting to feel annoyed and just a little angry. She went over their last few conversations and their date from a few nights ago trying to figure out if she had done something wrong or upsetting.
By the time the third day rolled around, Violet could no longer ignore the gnawing certainty that Jeremy was deliberately avoiding her for some reason. He had gone from checking in with her throughout the day and sending messages and emails to absolute silence. No matter how busy he was, she knew he would have at least sent her a brief message or shot off a quick email. If it hadn’t been for her conversation with his receptionist, Violet would have been extremely worried about him. What she couldn’t figure out was why he had dropped out of her life like this.
His attraction for her must have been all about the chase and since the goal had been accomplished, the challenge was gone. It was the only thing that made any sense, she thought bitterly. Typical man. Or he must have finally realized the differences in their classes.
The anger and bitterness were self-directed, she berated herself for being so foolish and for getting carried away with her emotions. She had allowed herself to fall in love with a man who she could never really be with.
It was a different kind of love than the one she had experienced with Alex. With Jeremy it was different. She was a woman who knew her mind, a strong woman who relied on no one else but herself. The same could be said for him as well. Two adults thrown together, drawn to each other, emotionally and sexually filling a void they didn’t think could ever be filled. He made her happy, he made her laugh. He had made her believe in dreams again. Could it truly all have been just a lie? Designed to get into her pants? But that made no sense to her, she thought of his handsome face and his hard, sculpted body, he wasn’t a man who needed to use tricks to get women to sleep with him.
As images of his muscular body filled her head, her mind wandered to the last time they had been together. The sexual chemistry and uncontrollable passion were undeniable. She felt sexually awakened in his presence, feeling things she had only read about in books and magazines. Never dreaming it could really be that way with someone in real life.
And now he was gone from her life, as swiftly as he had come into it. Leaving her lonely and bereft. Never again, she vowed to herself. Never again will I allow my heart to be so unguarded. On the fourth day, he showed up at her house looking apologetic and tired. Relief filled her, he wasn’t going to break up with her after all. But she confronted him about his silence right away, “You were avoiding me, why?”
“I needed time to think.”
“About?”
“I can’t do this, Violet.”
A cold dreadful feeling washed through her body and wrapped itself around her heart. “What do you
