Free Scottish Romance: Highlander Romance: Highland Whisper (Scotland Romance) by Payton Hart Page B

the dance studio and instantly my anger took over me again. I started the car and drove off as quickly as possible. At this moment I didn’t want to anything to do with Luis. I wondered what had changed with him. It didn’t make any sense to me. One minute he was all over me showing me nothing but love and affection.
     
    When we danced, it was like nothing else mattered, we would look into each other’s eyes and match each other move for move. Now, we couldn’t be more different, more out of sync than ever. I was starting to rethink Nancy’s judgment. It seemed like she could never be more wrong about her precious dancer.

    “Jenny, its Luis please return my calls.”
     
    “Jenny, I really need to talk to you. Will you please return my call?”
     
    “Jenny! Will you please answer? You can’t still be mad at me can you?”
     
    “Jenny, I just really want to spend time with you. In a personal way, not as your dance partner. Will you please return my calls so we can talk?”
     
    I hung up the phone and turned it off. I still wasn’t speaking to Luis after what happened this morning. He has been calling all day. I guess he was trying to apologize, but I didn’t want his apology.
     
    I was in the kitchen cooking dinner for Ashley and Joe. I needed something to calm my nerves, and since I couldn’t bring myself to look at another dance floor right now, cooking was the only thing I could think of.
     
    “It smells wonderful in here!” Ashley exclaimed as she came through the door and took a seat at the kitchen table.
     
    “Thank you,” I told her.
     
    “Has Joe come home yet?” Ashley asked me and I shook my head. “So, tell me. How are you and Luis doing? Is he still everything your heart could ever want?”
     
    I was hesitant in my answer and Ashley could sense my despair.
     
    “Come sit down and tell me what happened.” She said patting the table.
     
    I sat down at the table and sighed. “Well I told you how Nancy asked me to perform with him right?” She nodded
     
    “Well, he asked me if I wanted to perform a dance he had choreographed and, of course, I said yes. We started practicing and did for five hours. I couldn’t get this move right and I could tell I was frustrating him. I was really tired and my feet were killing me so I told him that I thought we should call it a day and he got mad,” I continued. “Then this morning after I actually completed the move without falling on my ass, he tells me that I’m not ready to perform, and he’s calling the dance off because he doesn’t want me to embarrass him.”
     
    “What?! Are you serious?” She exclaimed. “What an asshole. So what did you do?”
     
    “I walked out and he’s been calling me ever since, trying to get me to talk to him.” I told her. She shook her head. A few seconds later, Joe walked into the door.
     
    “It smells great in here.” He said. “Ashley, I know that’s not you in there cooking so it has to be Jenny.” He walked into the kitchen and gave his wife a hug and a kiss. The two of them were so cute together. They were a perfect example of what a real relationship should look like. I looked up to see someone standing in the doorway and I instantly got upset.
     
    “What the hell is he doing here?” I hissed.
     
    “Oh, he was outside when I pulled up so I invited him inside for dinner.” Joe said, clueless.
     
    “Please leave.” I told him.
     
    “Not until you talk to me.” He responded.
     
    “Well, I guess you can make yourself comfortable because I won’t be talking to you anytime soon.” I replied. He sat down at the table across from me and stared at me. I stared back.
     
    “Well,” Ashley said getting up from the table. “Let us know when dinner is ready.”
     
    They hurried away from the table and out of the kitchen, leaving me alone with Luis. I rolled my eyes out of irritation, got up from the table, and
