Free Good Morning from Paradise by Kat Jackson Page B

Michael or revealing Jonathans secret to Brit.
Shit, I need to think.
    Jonathan
paid for my food and stood to leave, I caught his hand.
    “Jonathan,
is Dan in danger?” I asked, not really wanting to hear his answer.
    “I’m
doing my best to make sure he isn’t Ella. Like I say, I like the kid. She’s put
him at risk, Michael isn’t your average law abiding citizen, but I’m pretty
sure I can protect him.” He patted my shoulder.
    “Thank
you. You didn’t have to tell me all of that but I’m glad that you did. And for
what it’s worth I think you should talk to Brit, she’s more understanding than
you realise, you could have a real relationship with her you know.” He kissed
my hand and left. I hope he did talk to her. On my way back to the beach I
tried to think of ways to get Rachael to admit to Dan what she had done. I
hoped I could catch Amber to tell her everything preferably with Kyle but
definitely without Brit. My phone chirped for the first time in ages. It was him,
it was Dan and it simply said:
    I miss you, gorgeous girl.

    Tears
streamed down my face but for the first time in a while there was hope, I was
going to get him back, I was going to fight for him. I dried my tears and text
him back;
    Miss you more

    Now
I definitely couldn’t wait to get home. This place has changed my life. Now I
need to get back and work out where to go from there. Amber and Kyle are
spending their last night alone together so I didn’t get the chance to talk to
either of them, my flight leaves early so I’ll make arrangements to catch them
when we’re all home. It will be easier to get Amber on her own while Brit is
working even if I have to wait until next weekend. The thought leaves me cold,
I want him back now but I’ll have to be patient. I’m just praying that he
doesn’t fall in love with her before I get my chance. I need to find out when
the baby is due and what the date of their dinner party was so that I can check
the dates tally. If she got pregnant before that dinner party, then I’m back to
square one because the baby is definitely Dan’s. I am optimistic though if for
no other reason that on the night of the party Rachael was wearing that tiny
silver playsuit that was practically sprayed on and there was no sign of a
bump. If that’s all I’ve got to cling to then that’s good enough for now until
I get more facts. I used the flight to close my eyes and think back to the time
he told me about Rachael. They started renovations last fall but he hadn’t said
what they had done or when they had finished. She couldn’t have been pregnant
before the work started otherwise that baby would be heading towards spending
its first birthday in the womb. They must have finished recently, Jonathan said
Dan and Kyle had contracts lined up when they got home so there must have been
developments in business world while we were in Bali. Damn I wished I had asked
Jonathan more questions but I was so taken aback by what he was telling me I
didn’t even think to ask. One things for certain, sitting here letting my mind
run in circles was getting me nowhere. I decided to put my buds in, listen to
some music and see if I could drift off. God knows I could do with catching up
on some sleep.

    Hi Di,
    Waking up alone still sucks but its better
now I’m back in my own bed. Bud is home and keeping my feet extra warm. God
I’ve missed the little fella. It just feels right having him around. Amber
called last night and I couldn’t hold back, I told her everything Jonathan had
told me, she was going to call Kyle straight away and tell him. Together we
were going to come up with a plan to make Rachel admit the baby wasn’t Dan’s.
Amber said she was going to ask Kyle about the dinner party dates so I was just
waiting to hear from her. I’m starting to feel optimistic again and for all it
doesn’t feel as good as being in his arms, its way better than the way I’ve
been feeling
