Chapter 21 Ladies

• On Wednesday morning, I missed calls from Joe. By the end of the day, I had more calls and texts from Waylen. Joe’s calls went unanswered, and his texts ignored. Joe was still my friend, but I knew better than to pick up. It could get him into trouble with Waylen. Plus, he might have been calling because of Waylen. I wouldn’t let him use my friend to get to me. He was sorely mistaken if he thought a fuck could earn my forgiveness. That was all it was. A fuck.
• But the fear of moving around still stayed with me. Waylen has a meeting today that should last the whole day. That was the only reason I dared to drop by the house. I also convinced the girls to book the spa appointment for today. Another reason I was home. The first time this week since I left on Monday.
• Becca buzzed me to be sure I wasn’t canceling again like I did last time. A faint smile lifted my lips, but the guilt wiped it off. I replied with a promise to be there in a few minutes and turned down her offer to send her driver. They would have to take my word for it. I needed to relax. My week had been fraught with lies and sleepless nights.
