Broken Melody (Rock With You #2) Rock Star Romance (11 page)

It
was mid-afternoon when Melody’s phone rang. She was tempted to let it go to
voice mail but she knew dodging phone calls wasn’t a good way to start.

“Melody
Lawson.”

“Logan
MacKenzie.” There was a pause, and a soft laugh. “You sound so professional.”

“Logan…what’s
up?”

“I
just wanted to see how your day was going, tell you I love you, and ask what
you wanted for dinner.” There was another laugh, this time louder. “I feel like
the wife here. I’m a little out of my element.”

“Things
are horribly busy, but you know what? I’m loving every minute of it, so far. As
far as dinner, eat when you want, don’t wait for me. I may be very late. I’ll
call later when I have a better idea.”

“You
have the key card? Call when you’re leaving and I’ll meet you there.”

“I
will. And I love you, too.” Melody replaced the receiver, smiling to herself.

“It’s
nice when they call to see how you’re doing, isn’t it?”

Melody
jerked her head up. Victoria was standing in the doorway, another stack of
files in her hands. Melody felt her face color.

“Do
you have something else for me?”

Victoria
came into the office, setting the files on the corner of Melody’s desk. “You’re
very private about your personal life. I’m sorry if I was out of line.”

“I
am very private and yes, you were a little out of line.” Melody took the files.
“My personal life is just that, personal. That sounds rude, but I’m learning
it’s better that way.”

Victorian
nodded her head. “I understand. Again, I’m sorry.” She turned and left Melody’s
office.

What
the hell was that about? I really need to do something about her.

But
there wasn’t time. Before she realized it, it was well past dinner. Victoria
had come to say goodnight and Melody had nodded absently, not noticing the
time.

She
stretched, working the kinks out of her back. Sometime earlier she’d kicked her
shoes off and now she retrieved them from beneath her desk, reaching for the
phone as she slid them on her feet.

Logan
answered on the first ring. “I’m calling a cab and leaving now. Shouldn’t be
too long. It’s way past rush hour, so traffic shouldn’t be too bad.”

“Good
to hear. I’ll be waiting downstairs.”

The
traffic was light and the cab ride was mercifully shorter than usual. She
directed the driver to the security entrance in the parking garage. As she
stepped out of the cab, she saw Logan waiting for her.

“This
is complicated, but it seems much more private than the front entrance. I have
to swipe the card to get into the garage and then, if you’re not here holding
the door open, I have to swipe the card to get in the door.”

“Aye.
It’s the best they have. I still don’t like you being down here alone though.”
He ushered her though the door and they took the elevator.

“It’s
better than being on the sidewalk with my imaginary stalker. Besides, when it
rains, now I won’t get wet.”

They’d
just settled down on the couch, Melody answering Logan’s questions about her
day when his cell phone rang. They both went silent. Logan picked up the phone,
scowling at the display.

“It’s
Claire.” He hesitated briefly, then answered the call, hitting the speaker
button.

“Hello?”
He set the phone between them on the couch.

“Logan?
It’s Claire. My God, man, it’s hard to reach you.”

“Well,
yes, I suppose.”

Melody
could hear the tension in his voice, the guarded tone. And underlying that, she
sensed fear. She reached out, taking his hand.

“What
do you want, Claire?”

“Direct
to the point, then. Is that how it’s going to be?”

“Claire.
I’m not wanting to talk to you as it is. But you keep calling so please woman,
just tell me why.”

There
was silence from Claire.

“Fine.
Here it is. I have your baby, Logan. And I think it’s time you knew that.”
