Second Chance-In the mist Book 1 novel Chapter 19

"Please do that! And yes, it is for her. I need her on her feet in two weeks" 

"In two weeks? What's the rush? Wait, a minute..." Suddenly he realized what my hurry was. "Don't tell me..." He didn't even get to finish his sentence before I interrupted him. 

"Yes, it's exactly what you're thinking. Rebecca Holland will accompany me to the Treasure Awards!" I stated so determinedly that it seemed nothing would budge my decision. Not even the fact that she still couldn't walk was standing in my way.

"I can understand your intentions, but Miss Rebecca can't walk. Do you really think my fiancé will work a miracle in such a short time?" 

"She's the best, isn't she? Nick, I need to introduce Rebecca gently into my world firstly so she would believe me who I am secondly so she can discover who my alter ego is," It all seemed so unreal to me and even though I felt like I was rushing things I knew it was the only way. Rebecca was my Luna, and she had to be with me. "Now, call her please! I bet you miss her" I commanded once more. 

I folded my hands across my chest and watched my friend Nick make the call. It only took two minutes, and he made my appointment for tomorrow morning as I asked him. What I just did will certainly shock Rebecca. 

"There, I called her! Happy now?" I could sense he was a little serious in his tone.

"I am beyond happy. Thanks, man!"

"Always a pleasure doing business with you, Dominic! But seriously, it's really not a good idea what you are planning"

"Trust me, Nick! I know what I am doing"

"Do you, my friend? You are forgetting one important thing. Someone is on her tail. They already killed her fiancé, I bet it is her turn, and soon" 

"I know. I am counting on it, actually. But I don't have time right now, so if you'll excuse me... today's my day off, as I recall!"

"Dominic, wait..."

"Goodbye Nick!"

I wouldn't stay here a second longer. Rebecca needed to know what I had planned for her. Although I knew Nick was right. Rebecca had some enemies on her tail. I was pretty worried about that, but I would have to figure it out. But for now, I had other plans.

My house wasn't too far, so I walked. Walking might help me clear my head. I was going to see her and talk to her in a few minutes. I felt like a schoolboy waiting to recite a lesson I had to learn. Only I hadn't studied it, and now I was going to be punished. 

But when I got home, I saw Rebecca sitting by the pool, sunbathing. I felt my heart leap out of my chest. With a gasp, I took a step back, but then realized she couldn't see me. She could smell me, though. I allowed myself to admire this goddess from where I was standing. Even as she laid back in that chair, I could look at her perfect curves, her inviting, sinfully shaped breasts tucked into her feminine floral bra, and a perfect alluring view from the cleavage to the bikini line that disappeared into a sweet, warm place.

My mind, and my thoughts, all went wild. I felt like I was running out of air.

"I went to the office and spoke to Nick about the Treasure Awards and how I intend to take Rebecca with me"

"Take her with you? Are you aware that she can't... walk... literally speaking?" 

"Are you going to start on me just like Nick? I'm aware she can't walk right now, but in two weeks, everything will change" I had turned so much to face Megan that I hadn't heard Rebecca's approaching. But she had heard my words.

"What is going on? Where are we going? And how, with me like this?" Maybe now was the best time to tell her.

"Rebecca, tomorrow you'll meet the woman who will help you walk again, your physiotherapist. The good part is that she actually knows me. She is my agent's fiancé. You'll have two weeks to learn to walk as you used to! No more, no less!" 

BABY STEPS

Rebecca's story

Although I couldn't see and couldn't move, the way I felt remained the same. And Dominic's news really shocked me. 

"Rebecca, I know I took you by surprise. I didn't want you to find out this way, but I really want to take you with me to the Treasure Awards. So I need you cured in two weeks," Dominic explained, but my mind remained on the Treasure Awards. This man, if he was indeed taking me there, was actually the actor Dominic Stone. If it hadn't been him, how could he tell me he was taking me there? "So, I got in touch with the best physical therapist in New York, Catherine Rogers. She is actually my agent's fiancée."
