about this woman. There doesn’t even seem to be anyone that would resemble her under another name. It’s strange, Kayla. When we look up Nick’s mom’s file, it says her doctor is Francesca Conti. She’s the only one in the facility with that doctor.”
I look over Eddie’s shoulder to view the documents he has pulled up and stare at the words “private physician.” “She only sees one patient? That can be right. She has a permanent office for one patient?”
“Does Nick pay for that?” Exie asks.
“I don’t think they would offer anything like that, even if Nick required it. Nick would surely say something to me about that. I think I need to talk to him about this?” I say, not considering why I would ask such a question.
“He is not going to like how you got this information, or that you are having Franky followed,” Exie says to me.
“Well, I don’t have to tell him everything. Just that I was worried about his Mother?” Exie shakes her head. “Okay, I will confess that I wanted to know more about Franky, and I didn’t want him to know that I am … intimidated by her?”
“You’re intimidated by her?” Exie doubles over in laughter. “Okay, good luck with that. I have to get back to the club and close up.” Exie waves goodbye while I try to figure out how to talk to Nick about this.
No matter what I come up with, I can’t imagine it is going to help me avoid an argument. Nick, I was worried about your mother and … no that’s not ever going to work. Damn it Nick, I have a right to know everything about her! Oh no I am in real trouble. It would be best to just say it and reflect the issues back on Franky before he has a chance to get angry with me. Although, it can’t hurt to tell him in his favorite lingerie. The moment Nick walks in, he looks me over with suspicion. Damn the underwear was too much.
“What did you do?” he sighs, expecting trouble already. He knows me too well.
“What? Why are you immediately assuming I did something wrong?” I ask him with attitude, but when he cocks his head and huffs, I know I am not going to convince him of anything other than the trouble I have caused. “Fine, I dug up some information on Franky. Do you know there is no record of her anywhere at that hospital and that the only patient that even has her listed as their doctor is your mother? Why is that, Nick? How can she get away that? She is stalking your mother to get to you.” I hold out documents to him that I had printed and look up at him with innocent smiling eyes.
He looks down at my hand, but the moment his eyes start to swirl, I know I am in trouble. “Kayla, what the fuck did you do? Did you break into the hospital and steal her information? What is wrong with you lately? Do you not trust me? I have never in my life known you to be jealous or insecure around anyone. Why are you worried all of a sudden?”
“I’m not. I just don’t trust her! There is something about her that isn’t right, Nick.”
“There is nothing about her, except that she cares for my mother and I used to fuck her! And you hate that I ever had feelings for anyone other than you. Yes, I cared for her deeply, I still care for her, our relationship meant something to me … at the time . Fuck Kayla, that was a long time ago, and those feelings are not even close to the same feelings I have for you.”
“I know that. This has nothing to do with jealousy or insecurity. I don’t trust her. And I can’t believe that you do?”
“Don’t do that. Don’t pretend this is about me. This all about you.”
I push my folder into his chest and look up at him with pleading eyes, only he rolls his and tenses his jaw. “Just look them over, and you will see what I am talking about. She was dead Nick, and suddenly she is alive? Why now?” I can tell by the way he is standing in front of me and the expression on his face that he has stopped listening to me. He is so angry with me that he won’t even look at
