“He is friends with the guy, and they hang out, so he knew. He comes to the diner all the time and he never gave me a heads-up. He could have at least said, ‘Hey, don’t take dating my friend seriously, his family has a big influence on who he dates and he will break your heart’ or something.”
I place my hand on hers. “You know what? He doesn’t deserve you and it’s better to know now than battle a rich family. They can make your life hell.”
“That must suck, Aura. His parents suck.”
I nod. “Yeah. Some people just suck. Rich and poor.”
Chapter 26
Kalum
Cason walks into my office as I make my way out. “Hey, I got your text. Where did she go?”
He means Aura. I was losing my shit a while ago when I got an update from the security detail at the house that Aura was out to the movies with a friend. A friend I have not heard about. Jealousy filtered into the pit of my stomach for the first time in a while. I have never felt jealousy like this since… since I found out Aura married Lane and then when she fell pregnant with his child.
I wanted to ask her who she was with, but I wanted to see for myself. They said she left for the movie theater. I called Cason to let him know that his security detail did not go with Aura and they reported back that she had requested to go alone. Apparently, they have become quite fond of Aura. Who knows what else they have let her get away with.
“I’m sorry, brother. You know how Aura has that effect on people. I’m sure it’s just a friend.”
He must see the scowl on my face because he is trying to calm me down from going over there and kidnapping her. I wouldn’t kidnap her, but I think she needs a reminder that safety is a major concern. She is by herself and what if something happened to her? What would happen to Lane?
“Let’s get to the theater. The chopper is standing by,” I tell Cason.
“I’m coming with you. Who knows what you’ll do when you get there? I can see that look on your face that tells me that you will snatch up anyone right now that is male and near your girl.”
“You know me so well, Cason,” I drawl.
“When it comes to Aura. There is no telling what you will do.”
The helicopter touches the helipad, and we wait until it is safe to exit. The blacked-out Ghost Phantom is already waiting for me to take it with Cason in tow to the theater to pick up Aura.
When we arrive, I park the car in the front. I look at the time and the movie is about to finish based on the times on the screen. Camila told me it was some chick flick. If she wanted to go to the movies. I would have taken her. I would take her anywhere.
Chapter 27
Aura
We made it out of the theater after watching a movie about love and loss.
Judy pushed the door so we both could exit the theater. “The movie was okay. She could have given the guy a second chance, but he was kind of a douche to her, so I guess it was a good thing she chose to stay single and hoped to find the right one someday.”
“I guess, but he was kind of hot,” I say with a laugh when I throw out the empty popcorn. I still have my pack of gummy bears.
I open one and pick a red one and pop one in my mouth.
“Look who we found.” A voice I don’t recognize comes from behind us.
Judy turns around, and she stiffens. I follow her gaze and I figure this is Nick next to Bradley.
“Hey, gorgeous,” Bradley chimes in with a smile.
I glance at Nick and notice the stress on Judy’s expression.
“Hey,” I say dryly.
Bradley glances at Nick and then at Judy. “Hey, Judy.”
“Hey yourself.”
