Chapter 17: Teaser again
“Hey Edward, my man! What’s up?” Jonesy looked up from the chart he was working on as soon as I wheeled myself in the office. I merely grunted, not feeling particularly chatty that morning.
“What’s wrong Eddie?” My dense friend asked pushing aside the chart her was working on to give me his full attention.
“Nothing.” I settled right behind my desk. I powered my computer and avoided his gaze.
“Okay man, spill it!” Jonesy ordered, walking towards my desk. “Spill.” He said once more as soon as he reached my space, sitting on the empty chair in front.
“Where is Bella? Are we expecting her today?” I tried to sound nonchalant but my tone came out terse and I silently kicked myself. I even realized that I may have ended up looking grim in the process.
Jonesy looked at me long and hard before he spoke. “Bella called me yesterday said she had a call from one of her clients and they needed her in L.A. She said she’ll call to let me know when she’ll be back. I kinda expect that it might take her several days or even a week before we see her back here.”
“Thanks.”
“Eddie, is there something going on between you and Bella?” Jonesy pushed, leaning on my table and I could see from the corner of my eye that he was intently trying to read me.
“Nothing Jonesy, I just wanted to ask her something.” This was basically the truth. I needed some of my questions answered. I wanted to ask her if she still loved me.
