| Chapter Nine |
| J rolled over in his sleep, landing on the hard floor. It took him a second to figure out where he was. Soon, it all returned to him why he was at Teresa's flat. "She never came home.." he whispered worriedly. He rushed to her room to find an unmade-and empty-bed. When he came back to the living room he saw that there was a dozen roses and a little teddy bear sitting on a table in the corner. "Must of missed that last night" he said to himself. Finding the card, he picked it up and read it. He clenched his hand on the note as he finished, "So that's where she was" he sighed, falling back into the couch. It was then he realized the answering was beeping softly. As soon as the play button was pushed an irritated, dull but official sounding voice came on "Good morning Miss Rae. This is William, Maxamillion's driver. I am calling on behalf of him, he would like to invite you out to a brunch and" there was a soft click, "Hello? Hello? This is Teresa!" said an out of breath Rease. "Oh yes hello Miss Rae-" "No no, call me Teresa, or Rease" "Right then, Teresa..oh, alright Mr Million" there was a rustling then a Maxamillion's voice came on, "Hey Teresa, miss the ring again?" "Yes" she giggled. J winced at the way Maxamillion was making her giggle like that. He's such a sleaze. He thought to himself. "Sooo how about brunch babe? That is, if you had a good time last night?" "Last night was brill" Teresa said dreamily, "I'd love to go to brunch" "Great, seeya soon...William! Head to Teresa's!" There was a click and the message was over. J was pretty upset about Maxamillion. He was obviously trying to win Teresa back just for publicity. He probably figured taking her back would do wonders for Death and Desire ticket sales. Angrily, J had to admit he was probably right. It wasn't just Maxamillion upsetting him, Teresa was too. He wasn't mad at her, but she had ditched him for Maxamillion. She was falling for his cheesy charm all over again. He couldn't bare to see her with that jerk again. J cursed Maxamillion and muttered things about Teresa to himself the whole way back to his car. He was so mad and so upset that he didn't even notice the photographer in a car right next to his.
