apartment and I instantly felt a bit more relaxed. I was trying so hard to calm down before approaching Simon, but truthfully, I was scared senseless. And nervous…really nervous!
“Maybe this wasn’t such a great idea,” I said, staring at Brynn and then taking a sip of my wine.
“Don’t be silly, it was the only idea,” she said.
“I just can’t figure out why he wouldn’t at least call,” I said. “Do you know something and you’re not telling me?”
“I don’t know anything. They had the last few days off of practice. I don’t think anyone’s seem Simon at all, not that it would be so unusual. Hunter is off to New York to see Trin and do whatever it is they do, and me, I’m here working.”
“And enjoying time with your boyfriend. Is that going good?”
Brynn smiled. The contentment on her face created a bit of envy inside of me, but also made me so happy for her. “We’re great.”
“I can tell. You radiate like the sun.”
“I sure could use some tan from that sun. I cannot believe I’m more pale than I’ve ever been even though I live in LA.”
“You look great. Hey, I have an idea, let’s go to the beach and hang out this afternoon. That would be so much fun.”
“No,” Brynn said.
“Something else?” I offered.
“I am working and you are going to go visit Simon this afternoon. That’s why you’re here, after all. I don’t know what’s going on with him, haven’t been able to get in touch, but you’ve got to figure it out.”
“That’s not fair, I miss you.”
Brynn looked at me and tilted her head. “Go get ready. I’ll drop you off over there, on my way to work, okay.”
“What if he’s not home?”
“Then you can do a stake-out or take a cab back here.”
I knew that Brynn was right and that I’d gone through a whole lot of effort to deal with this situation. I just wasn’t as keen on it now that I was actually here, ready to live the moment I’d played out in my head for the past few days.
Brynn dropped me off outside Simon’s large house. I knocked on the door and waited, my heartbeat jumping.
Chapter Twelve:
Talk to Me
The soft tapping kept going, not stopping the entire time I made my way over to the door to my apartment. I looked through the privacy hole and saw some golden blonde hair. Then its owner looked up and I saw it was Jessie.
I opened the door, completely surprised. “Jessie? What are you doing here? I was just listening to my messages. Did you say you were coming to town?”
“No, I didn’t say,” she said. She was looking at me so analytically and I felt like I was on trial for something. Admittedly, our joint venture had gotten off to a rocky start, but too be impatient that she’d come to LA. Was I missing something?
“Well, come on in, sorry, didn’t mean to keep you standing there.”
I moved to the side and she walked in, glancing around. “Is this a good time?”
“I have a conference call in an hour, but yeah, it’s fine.”
“Thanks for the time. I appreciate it, Simon.”
“Why don’t you have a seat. Want something to drink?”
“No, I’m fine, thanks…to the drink that is. I’ll sit down if it’s okay.”
I looked at her, but bit my lip. I was thinking, you’ve got to be kidding. If it’s okay to sit down.
I saw that Jessie was clearly really nervous, fidgeting with her fingers and her eyes darting everywhere due to an unusual lack of focus. And although I wasn’t too sensitive a guy it was obvious that whatever she had to say was giving her a great deal of inner turmoil.
“When did you fly out here?”
“Last night.”
“I’m sorry if you left me a message, I didn’t get it, yet.”
“Of course, otherwise you would have called back, right?”
I didn’t answer but definitely heard the prissiness in her voice. I didn’t have time for figuring this out. “Well, I have an hour. Why don’t you tell me what’s on your mind,” I offered, turning sideways and looking at
