her to go meet him. God, I’m so stupid!”
She stood up and wiped her face. Kayla reached down and opened a drawer grabbing her keys and purse from it. My protective instincts for my sister kick into overdrive. Ever since failing her on the whole Alex situation, I’ve become a little over protective of her now. She never should have been put in that situation and it was my fault that she was.
“Kayla, you can’t go alone. If this guy hurt her, you don’t need to be there alone. Let me come with you. I don’t want you getting hurt again.”
“Oh Curry, I love you.” She said as she hugged me. “It wasn’t like that. He hurt her emotionally. He broke her heart.” She whispered, still hugging me. “I’ll be back soon. No meeting today. Sorry you came all this way for nothing, Carson.”
She walked over to Jason and I watched as they hugged and kissed. You could see how much they loved each other. I wanted that. I wanted that special woman that made every moment brighter. It saddened me that I had her for a split second before she was torn away from me.
“Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you, Sunshine?” Jason whispered to Kayla with his forehead pressed against hers.
“No, it’s a girl moment. Besides , I think Curry needs someone. He’s looking pretty rough. Help me help him, please. I love you.” Kayla whispered back.
“I love you too. Be careful. Text me when you get there and when you leave.” He kissed her again. Kayla hugged me one more time before leaving Jason and I standing in her office alone.
Who would have ever thought that I would be jealous of the relationship that my sister had. I was the player. Loved having the groupies, the endless options, the no need to repeat the same person over again, yet here I am getting ready to ask my soon to be brother-in-law for help to get a girl.
“What’s going on Carson? Kay is right. You look a little rough and from experience I know it wasn’t because you had a long night of fun. So what’s going on?”
“I need your help, but it needs to be kept between us please.”
“Are you in some kind of trouble?” He immediately sounded concerned.
“No, well not exactly. Not like that anyway.”
“Then how exactly are you…” He stared at me a second and I saw the look of shock cross ed his face followed by a slow smile. “You found your girl.”
I couldn’t look at him anymore. For some reason, being in this position made me feel vulnerable and I felt stupid. Nodding my head , I walked over to the couch and slumped down on it with a grunt.
“It’s so weird Jason. I have only seen what she actually looks like for about two minutes, but I have been talking to her on the phone for weeks. It’s crazy right?”
“I don’t think so,” he said as he made his way over sitting on the coffee table in front of the couch. “I had that feeling in one meeting with your sister. I fought it, but I couldn’t stop thinking about her.”
“So I’m not crazy?”
“No man, you’re not. Why though does this have you so tore up? You should be happy.”
I leaned my head back against the back of the couch and took a deep breath.
“I met her last night for all of two minutes. Tommy sent some girl to the bar and she greeted me by jumping in my lap like we were lovers or something. She turned and ran from me. I ran after her, but she didn’t turn around or stop. I called her all night, but she wouldn’t answer and I only got a couple of responses from her via texts. The last one saying goodbye.”
“So where in this can I help?”
“You’re a P.I. now, aren’t you? Can’t you help me find her?”
“Sure man. What’s her name?”
“I don’t know.”
“Okay, where does she live?”
“I don’t know. I know this sounds crazy, but all I have is her cell phone number. I know that isn’t much to go on, but I need you to help me
