Chapter 19

„Wake up Angie." I heard Hannah walking into my room and pushing the curtains letting the sun shine into the room.

„Hannah. What are you doing?" I asked her half asleep. I was actually surprised I slept well tonight considering the last night and my memory nightmare.

„Wake up. You have to be at the talk show studio in two hours." She said pushing the blanket off of me making me to sit up.

„And you have to explain this." She said and threw her phone into my hands.

„Explain what?" I asked her still half asleep.

„So you were only running?" she asked me and she got my attention. I looked at her phone. She had opened some magazine site. There were pictures of me and Detective Martin infront of the cafeteria and then at the Central Park with a title : Another mystery man in Angie Cooper's life. Is Nicholas LeMair already a history? The pictures were clearly showing us having a sirious conversation. Nothing personal. And they still get to write we are having a thing?

„Oh damn it." I said.

„Well that is what I said when I saw that. Do you want to tell me something?" she asked me folding her hands on her chest. How am I going to explain this?

„He is an old acquaintant." I said hoping that nobody actually heard our conversation.

„Okay." She replied. „And? You know that I am not putting my hands into your private life. But dating a French billionaire widower and then going out with some police guy is going to ruin your reputation." She said. Oh my God Nicholas. This is exactly why I am keeping everything private. I didn't wanted for Nicholas to get into some unrealistic gossips. What is he going to think when he sees this?

„I don't have anything with him." I told her pacing my hand trough my hair.

„Then why on earth are you taking a walk with him in the park so early in the morning for everyone to see?" she asked me.

„I didn't realised we were being photographed. You know very well I am not much of a dating type and I am meaning it with Nicholas very siriously. I was only talking with Detective Martin for gods sake. I don't want to ruin my relationship with Nicholas because of some stupid gossips." I replied.

„Okay then. You know the media will make a big deal out of everything. You said he is a detective?" she asked me and I nodded. „They will not let it go without any explanation so we must give them one. How about we say you are researching for a new movie role?" she asked me. Funny that Detective Martin asked the same thing.

„Okay. Whatever that will not get into my relationship with Nicholas." I replied desperate.

„So you can explain this also during the talk show. Now go get ready because we will be late." She said and threw my jeans at me.

During the show they were asking me about the movie I am shooting here in New York. Also about Fantastic Four and Kylie and Danny.

„And Angie what about your personal life? You know we saw some pictures and there are some rumors but you are always keeping everything for yourself. So you know just let the other men keep their hopes that you are still single or you are seeing someone?" Mark who was as a co-host asked me.

„Well this will be the first time you will hear me to say something about my personal life." I said and the audience aawed and I could see on Kellys and Marks face a surprise. „I will tell you only that I am not single anymore. And I am really happy." I replied and the audience started to clapping.

„So is it the hot French guy or the police guy? Sorry for asking but todays newspapers are full of it." Kelly asked me curiously and I sight.

„Detective Martin is only helping me with some research for my new role." I replied. I actually called him on my way to the studio and asked him if I may say this. He understood my situation and said he had no problem with it.

„I knew it was the French guy." Kelly answered satisfied with my answer as I smiled from ear to ear.

After the show I went straight to the Central Park where we had a set for today. But before I arrived there I finally called Nicholas. Since there is three hours time difference between New York and LA he should be up by this time.

„Bonjour ma belle." He picked up. My heart started to beat faster and I was really happy he answered as usually and called me his „belle".

„Bon Jour." I said smiling from ear to ear. „It is so good to finally hear you." I sighed.

„What is going on?" he asked me worriedly.

„It has been a crazy morning." I replied. „I am guessing you haven't seen the newspapers yet." I replied worriedly waiting for his reaction. Will he believe me? I never had to deal with this before.

„Actually I did see that." He said and I closed my eyes. I was hoping for different answer.

„I hate gossips. You can't believe what they are saying." I said.

„Don't worry. I know." He laughed. „I have my own experience with them back in France." He replied and I breath out a heavy breath.

„You really believed I would doubt you?" he asked me amused.

„Yes." I replied relieved that I really don't have to explain him anything.

„You really don't have to. I know better not to believe what is written in the newspapers." He said.

„And by the way. We are also happy to have you in our lives." He said and I understood he also saw the interview. I smiled to myself satisfied.

After our conversation it was much easier for me to get through the day. And I made a promise to myself I will make time every day to call him and I did.

As it was the final day for me in New York I received a phone call from Detective Martin.

„I found something. It actually may be related to your case." He said. „I was digging something about the boat rentals. I was talking with the rental companies if they didn't experienced something unusual at that time. So I actually found out there was a boat rented day before the police found you. I was talking with Gina and it matches her description of the boat she saw the man jump into. It would not be interesting if." He said

„If?" I asked him curiously. I was on my way to the airport and Hannah was sitting right next to me so I couldn't talk very much.

„If the boat didn't disappear the next day and it was never found again." He replied.

„Well that is interesting." I said.

„The guy said there were two men renting it and they payed cash. No IDs. He does not rent without any identification but they payed him really well so he let it go. They never returned the boat but came after him one week later and payed him a full price for it. I asked him to give me some description of the two but five years are five years and he is not that young anymore. So I didn't get much from him." He said.

„And what did you got?" I asked him looking at Hannah if she was listening. She was typing something in her phone not paying attention to me.

„Two white males in their early thirties." He said

„That's it?" I asked him surprised

„I am afraid so. I know it does not make any sence but these are the only clues we have now. But it is still more than what we had five years ago. I will see what I can do whit this infromations and I will be informing you. The same counts for you too. If you will remember something that can help please call me." He said

„Don't worry. I will. And thank you for looking into this." I replied leaving the call with more and more questions.

We landed in LA. Hannah went to my house to put there my bags and then into her office and I took an Uber to the Hollywood studios. When I came there Danny and the rest of the cast were already shooting some scenes without me. While I was getting a makeup and hairstylist was doing my blond wig hair I went through my lines. I quickly changed into my costume and run to join the rest of the cast.

„Hey my movie sister finally arrived!" Danny came to me and welcomed me with a hug. „Family in real life and family on the screen. Nice. How was New York?" he asked me with a huge smile.

„It was interesting. I will tell you and Kylie later." I told him and he nodded letting me know he understood. I didn't called with Kylie yet about my new informations. There was no time or when it was, there was no private. So the two of them had no idea about the small progress in our investigation.

„So are you already having more fun?" he asked me when we were walking to the director. I looked at him confused and he laughed. „Well you know what they say. Blonds are having more fun." He explained, pointed at my wig and started to laugh.

„Ha ha. Very funny." I told him. He was teasing me because he knew very well I didn't like this color of my hair. Thankfully it was only wig. „Let's go to work so you can go home to your family early." I told him and we went to continue in the filming.

---

We finished with the filming around 10 pm. I was so looking forward to go home. I called with Nicholas and I will see him tomorrow morning before I go to work again. I miss him so much and I can't wait to see him.

„So have a good night." Danny told me when we were walking from our trailers to the parking lot.

„Wait what? You said you will take me to my house on your way home." I told him confused.

„I am taking different route." He said smiling mischievesly.

„Siriously? You should have said that so I could call an Uber." I replied thinking about how long it will take to find an Uber at this hour and location.

„Don't worry. You really think I would leave you here? I already ordered a private driver for you." He said and pointed infront of him. I looked where he was pointing and my heart jumped with joy. Under the street lights was Nicholas leaning his back against his black Ferrari with a huge smile spread across his face. I looked at Danny who was smiling at me contently.

„I guess the Uber upgradet their services. They never send a Ferrari for me." He joked and I laughed quickly hugging him. „Thank you." I said turned around and with really quick walk went to Nicholas wrapping my hands around his neck smashing a huge kiss onto his lips.

„Bonsoir ma belle." Nicholas said and kissed me again.

„So I think I will be going." I heard Danny behind me while we were kissing. We break our kiss and I turned to face Danny with Nicholas's hand around my shoulders.

„Merci. Thanks man." Nicholas said to Danny. It is not that easy for someone to get to the Studio lots and Danny must have called the security to let Nicholas in.

„Yeah, yeah. Go enjoy eachother. I got my wife waiting for me." He said laughing walking away to his car.

„So I assume from your kiss that you missed me?" Nicholas asked me after we watched Danny driving away.

„Hmm you assumed right." I replied and through my smile I packed another kiss on his full and sweet lips. My heart was beating like a drum being finally in his presence.

The ride from Hollywood Studios to his Malibu house took us half the normal time thanks to Nicholas's speedy ride.

„Where is Sofia?" I asked him when we finally entered his estate riding through driveway to the house.

„She is at home." He replied pointing at the house. It was beautifully lit from the outside.

„Alone?" I asked him surprised.

„No. I would never leave her alone." He replied seriously with a frown and uneasyness. „There is a security at the house and at the estate. And she is asleep so she will not even notice I was gone." He said as we parked infront of the house.

„She has been looking forward for you." He said as we entered the house. I looked around. Some of the furniture here was new.

„We still have a lot to redecorate but our rooms are already finished." He said as he hugged me from behind his hands wrapped around my waist kissing my neck. I rested my back against him and leaned my head to kiss him.

„It is already a nice house." I told him. He smiled and looked around.

„I would give you a tour of what we changed here but I think Sofia would never forgive me she was not present." He said and I laughed.

„Then let's leave the tour for tomorrow." I replied turning to him, wrapping my hands around his neck seductively and kissing him.

„Tomorrow sounds good to me." He breathed out when I broke the kiss, his eyes full of desire when I started to unbutton his shirt.
