Pulling out my phone, I tried to call her again, but it went to voicemail. “Mia, call me, babe. Are you still coming over tonight?”
My nerves were rattling. Where was Mia?
Upstairs, I went into my bedroom, more and more fraught with worry. I clicked on the lights and froze in place, not believing my eyes.
Penny was lounging naked on my bed. Our bed. Mia’s and mine.
“What are you doing here?” I asked, mystified.
What the hell was going on?
Penny sat up, pleased to see me. “I got rid of that bitch like you wanted.”
“What? Where’s Mia?” I asked, too stunned to understand.
Penny grabbed the lingerie bag out of my hand. “Is this for me?” She held up the negligee, beaming. “You shouldn’t have, Theo.”
Before I could stop her, she slithered into the sheer baby doll top. Puckering her lips to me, she asked, “How do I look?”
I had been looking forward to seeing Mia in that nightie. With it on Penny, it only grossed me out. The bust was too loose around her small breasts dwarfing them and making them look even smaller. Looking away, I replied, “Penny, please. That’s for Mia. Take it off.”
She ignored me grabbing the remote and turning up the volume on the flat screen. Settling back on the pillows, she watched the screen enraptured.
A video had been playing the whole time. I whirled around to see what she was so interested in. It was Penny and I having sex.
How could that be possible? A long long time ago I slept with Penny, but it wasn’t taped.
Watching the screen in disgust, I demanded, “Penny, what the fuck is this?”
Penny sneered. “Mia isn’t the only one that can break into your surveillance videos.”
“Penny, you’re my assistant. You have all my passwords. It’s hardly breaking in,” I countered.
“Whatever!” Penny said. “The point is, Theo, I took old footage of you and another woman and paid someone to put my face in the video.” She smiled proud of herself.
How had I never suspected Penny was a complete nut job all these years?
She continued, “Doesn’t the video look good? I get so horny watching it.”
This was completely crazy. Penny needed mental help. At this point, I didn’t want to provoke her. Who knew what she was capable of?
“It’s too bad Mia didn’t like it when I showed it to her,” Penny pouted.
Gritting my teeth, I held in my anger and slowly backed out of the bedroom.
Penny called after me, “Theo! Where are you going?” Her voice sounded right on the edge of freaking out.
“I’m going downstairs to grab champagne to celebrate. Sit right there! Don’t move!” I lied.
Penny purred, “Oh, Theo! I knew you’d come around!”
I ran downstairs and out the front door, calling 911. “I’d like to report a break in,” I said calmly to the dispatcher.
The dispatcher took my information and reported that the police were on the way. In the meantime, I sat in my car waiting for them and thinking about how much Penny had cost me.
Mia. My Mia. She was going to be my wife. I had been so close to the dream life I never thought I wanted, but it was gone now. Just like that.
When the police came and took Penny away, she looked crazed refusing to cooperate with the police officers. “Theo! Theo! I love you!” she screamed as they put her in back of the squad car.
