Chapter 17
Keyana walked into the house and her eyes widened. "Shane! What are you doing here?"
"I thought I'd stop by to surprise you. I figured you'd be home until I called to your office and Lumien told me where you were." Shane answered quietly.
"Oh yeah, I had to meet up with Nick to look for some accessories for his house." She explained, coming in and tossing her purse on the couch, setting her briefcase next to it. "Well I am surprised, but I'm glad you're here. So tell me about your day." She smiled, reaching up to hug him. Shane pulled away and walked over to the couch and sat.
"It was alright. I would've preferred to have spent it with you. When I woke up this morning, you were gone."
"Sorry bout that, I had to leave early to get ready for this afternoon. I didn't think you'd mind."
"Well I did ok. Since when do you work on Sundays?"
" You know that when the situation calls for it, I work odd hours. Why is this such a big thing?"
"Why didn't you tell me?" Shane asked coldly.
"What I have to ask you if I can work?"
"When it comes to some guy, yeah you do."
"What!? Shane this is not the first time I've worked for a guy, it certainly won't be the last. What's wrong with you?!"
"You've been spending a lot of time with this Nick guy, too much time if you ask me."
"It's my job Shane! You know how it is, why is he so different? He's my client, sometimes you have to make exceptions like working on the weekend."
"Oh, so you date all your clients then?" Shane snapped.
"Stop this! I can't believe you're saying this! I'm not dating Nick Shane!" Keyana yelled.
"You don't call going to a party with him a date?"
"We went as friends, that's it."
"You've never done anything like that with any other client. Is he your SPECIAL friend or something?!" Shane screamed.
"I don't believe this! I can't believe you! I thought you trusted me."
"I never had a reason not to before."
"You still don't!"
"Are you fuckin' him?"Shane asked coldly.
Keyana's eyes widened she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her anger rising quickly. "Shane!"
"Answer me! Are you?!"
"NO! I'm not fucking him!"
"Wouldn't surprise me."
Keyana's eyes widened. She drew her hand back and slapped him hard, biting back the tears. "How dare you. Get out." She whispered.
"My pleasure." He yelled, storming out the door.
Keyana watched him leave, not quite understanding what had happened. Shane had never acted that way before. She sat down on the couch, her whole body shaking. She didn't want to call Erin or Gabs this late, she always felt like she was bothering them. She reached over and grabbed her briefcase, pulling a file out. Why she was doing this she didn't know. She spread it open and picked up the phone next to her. She dialed the number, not knowing what she was going to say. All she knew was she needed to call.
"Hi, I was wondering, could you come over please?"
