“I was thinking about the things you said to me back in Boston, and I totally get it. I know I overstepped and I’m sorry.”
“The girl staying at your house is pretty. But I’m prettier, and I know you think so.”
“Please call me, Grayson. I miss you.”
“I love how you live on the beach. I envision us taking romantic walks at sunset.”
“I’ll be waiting for your text or call.”
I ran my hand through my hair and then blocked her number. My pager went off, and it was the ER. When I got down to room five, my heart raced as I stopped in the doorway.
“Hi.” Claudia smiled.
“What are you doing here?” I spoke through gritted teeth.
“I was worried about you since you haven’t returned any of my text messages or called me like I asked you to.”
“As you can see, I’m fine, Claudia.”
“I’m sorry, Dr. Kind. She wouldn’t stop causing a scene until we paged you. She was upsetting the other patients,” Karla, one of the nurses, spoke when she walked in.
“It’s fine, Karla. What the hell do you want, Claudia?” I stared into her unstable eyes.
“I want you and what we shared back in Boston. Is that so much to ask, Grayson?”
I needed to be careful with my words because I already knew how unstable she was, and I wasn’t sure how far she would take it.
“Listen, Claudia, we had a good thing when we were seeing each other, but people grow apart. You’re a beautiful woman, and any man would be lucky to have you.” I choked out the words.
“But I don’t want any other man. I only want you. I love you so much, Grayson.”
“No, Claudia, you don’t. You just think you do.”
“Don’t you tell me how I feel!” she spoke through gritted teeth. “My love for you is real, and it’s heartfelt. I know you’ll come around and see that whore you’re with is nothing compared to me. You’re using her because you missed me, right?”
I took in a deep breath as I ran my hand through my hair.
“You leave Ava out of this, and you’re to leave her alone. Do you understand me?” I spoke angrily.
“She can’t love you like I can!”
“Karla?” I shouted out the door. “Call security.”
“Don’t bother. I’ll leave. But this isn’t over, Grayson.” She walked out of the room.
CHAPTER34
Grayson
I wrapped the towel around my waist as I stepped out of the shower. Walking into the bedroom, I gasped when I saw Ava standing there in her gown.
“What do you think?” A beautiful smile crossed her lips.
“You have literally taken my breath away.” I smiled as I walked over to where she stood and gripped her hips. “You are the most stunning and beautiful woman in the world.” I brushed my lips against hers.
“Thank you. Can you help me with my necklace?” she asked, handing it to me and turning around.
After clasping her necklace around her neck, my lips pressed against her bare shoulder.
