Her voice stirred molten lava into his gut. Memories flooded back in a rush and he cleared his throat.
Megan was shocked to silence. She would recognize that voice anywhere. Her mind exploded to life and she found her voice again.
“How did you get this number?” She was far from friendly, but it was hard to miss the quiver in her voice.
“Tracey gave it to me.” At least I’m still able to ruffle her feathers…he couldn’t help but grin.
“She will never give….did you tell her who was calling?”
“Yep”
“Is she still alive? Did you actually hear her say goodbye or did the phone go dead?”
His all too familiar laugh bubbled from his throat, right into her oversensitive ears.
“Actually she slammed the phone in my ear the first time, and the second time I promised her a little something to show my appreciation.”
“You bribed her!”
“No I didn’t. She is obviously a fan, so I thought it might be nice to send her a copy of my new record to say thank you.”
“I hope she told you to stuff your cd up your…”
“No actually she said she wanted a photo as well. Since when do you curse?”
“Since when does it have anything to do with you?” She wasn’t thinking straight, and said anything that came to mind.
“Listen I called to tell you that your mother has set her heart on you coming to see your father. He is even calling for you..Dont break their hearts. Stop with whatever you are busy with and get your ass to New Jersey
“Excuse me? Who the hell do you think you are? What I do and don’t do has absolutely nothing to do with you!”
“I’ve seen these people suffer all these years. You never visited them. What happened did you get to high and mighty for your parents? Or were you scared you’d run into me again?”
He knew he struck a cord when he heard her gasp. It felt like he struck her in the face.
“Jon…fuck off.”
The phone went dead. He stood for a moment contemplating if he should call her back.
Megan stared at the phone, scared it might ring again, but it didn’t. Her heart was pounding in her ears and she wasn’t too sure if it was anger rushing the adrenalin through her veins.
She was tired from driving the whole day and now she had to hear his voice again.
How was she going to cope with him in such a close proximity? His voice almost sent her over the edge, what will his presence do to her sanity?
The hooting of a car jerked her out of her thoughts and forced her to keep her attention on the road.
