Chapter One.
"Ivy, wait! Don't…
The heavy church door slammed shut before Rachel could say anymore.
God, I can't believe I did it again, Ivy berated herself. She was down the stairs already, digging into her purse that she grabbed off the hallway table. Cell phone in hand, she scrolled
through the speed dial until she found Ronnie's number. Phoned pressed to her ear, she fumbled through her purse for her car keys.
"Hello?" Ronnie's voice came over her cell phone. Calm, cool and collected as always. No doubt that she was fully aware who was on the other end, thanks to caller I.D.
"Hey, Ronnie", Ivy tried to sound upbeat, "Am I catching you at a bad time?"
"Nice try, Tamwood. Let me guess, would you care to meet me and talk about it?!?"
Ivy could hear the smirk on Ronnie's face coming across the airways loud and clear. Smug bitch, she thought.
"If you are free, meet me at the club. I'm leaving now. See you soon." Ivy hit the END button on the phone and clicked it shut, tossing it back into her purse. She'll be there, she thought.
Ivy slid into the driver's seat and started the big black sedan she drove when she didn't want to take her motorcycle. Ivy gripped the steering wheel and pressed her forehead against it.
God, what was I thinking? Everything has been going so well with Rachel. We were getting along and she wasn't acting nervous around me anymore. Then I go and screw it all up again.
"Damn it", Ivy slammed her palm against the wheel. I just have to get out of here for a little while and get myself together. God, why does Rachel have this effect on me?!?
Ivy took a look at herself in the rear view mirror. "Great, my pupils couldn't be more dilated now, could they?" She put her car in reverse and before she could change her mind and go back
into the church, she headed out to meet Ronnie.
