“Spotted again, out and about dining in NYC for the singer’s 19th birthday. Ezra Hamilton and Ocean Heart, heating up forthe summer? A real like Bodyguard movie deal!” Caleb rattles off.
“Everything sounds positive so far.”
He nods. “Yes. Sir. It sounds like there has been some input from Rosen Records on this as well.”
“This is news to me.” I lean back in my chair. It’s not terrible that they would work with us to promote the better side of publicity; it just wasn’t something I expected given Ocean’s reluctance.
“I was just given the information,” Caleb responds. “Also, since you asked earlier, Ms. Heart arrived back home this afternoon.”
“She wasn’t scheduled to be back for three more days.” I glance at my calendar, knowing it’s written on there.
“That is all Kyle would tell me on the phone, Mr. Hamilton.”
“You can go.” I excuse him and he closes the door to my office. I grab my cell and shoot a text to Ocean.
Me
Why are you back early? Is everything okay?
Then I call Kyle who answers on the first ring. “Sir.”
“Is everything okay? Why is she back three days early, that's not like Ocean.”
“My understanding is that she has an appointment with her doctor.” Kyle sighs and mumbles something about women’s stuff under his breath. My blood runs cold when I realize what she’s doing again.
“Have her call me when she is done.”
I hang up with Kyle and call for my driver to bring my vehicle around. I can be to her place in under an hour, which should be as soon as she’s done seeing her doctor. My phone vibrates in my hand and I look down to see a reply from Ocean.
Ocean
I wanted to see my doctor, not that it’s your business ??
My fingers itch to reply and demand what happened, but it would be better to have the conversation in person. I’ve been keeping a secret from Ocean, something that could change the direction of our lives, something I want more than anything. I knew about her appointment to see her doctor for birth control pills. I paid the good doctor a large sum to give her a pack of only sugar pills instead. It's amazing what the right amount of money can get you.
Last week she got her period, and while I was sad about it, I knew better than to be too hopeful that it would happen after one month. I wasn’t deterred from my goal. I just planned to try harder. But if she’s meeting the doctor again, I’m worried she’ll try something different.
By the time I get to Ocean’s gated community and enter the passcode at her door, I drive up the driveway. The bottom level lights are on in the house and one is on upstairs in her room. Parking my car, I get out and walk up the walkway to the front door and let myself in. The TV is on in the living room and her voice is coming from upstairs. I follow it until I get to her room.
“He just said it might be because my body is getting used to it— Oh my god!”
She jumps when she sees me and quickly ends her phone call. “Ezra, what are you doing here? How did you get in?”
My head tilts. “Is that the way you greet your husband?”
Her cheeks turn adorably red like they always do when I talk to her this way. I walk over to her and take her face in my hands, bringing my lips to hers. She’s warm and I can smell the vanilla scent from the gel she uses. “What’s wrong, baby?”
She pulls away and runs her hands down her face. I notice she’s wearing one of my t-shirts and a pair of shorts. “Everything. Did you see the picture that leaked? I’ve been trying to get with Mia and Tabbi to look into getting it down or at least controlling the narrative.”
My eyes narrow on her. “I don’t care about the picture; it’s a great picture.”
“Ezra, people are already commenting that we’re a couple and making comments about that you used to be like my bodyguard,” Her eyes widen and fear crosses her face.
I’m livid. If she thinks she can erase or try to downplay our relationship, I haven’t been doing my job right. Maybe I should just cancel all of her upcoming shows and keep her underneath me and full of my cock until she gets it. I’m not going anywhere and neither is she.
My hands slip in my pockets and I force my face to remain calm. “I told the reporter where we would be. I had the picture taken and sent out.”
Her arms cross over her chest and she takes a step back. “Why?”
