Mr.Right

Chapter 33.

Note to self: If someone asks you how your France trip is going, never utter the words 'I think my best friend is being cheated on'.

There's a big problem there. First, what happens in Jim's relationship is none of my business and I wouldn't want to go poke nosing around... Who am I kidding? Poke nosing is my thing, so I think it's normal for me to want to know why the hell there's a shirtless dude answering Jacqueline's door.

I look over the address Jim sent me again to verify I'm in the right place as my eyes roam over his half-naked body once more.

"Good morning," I start slowly, not sure if he's an English speaker. "I'm here for Jacqueline, does she live here?"

His bored expression brightens up at the mention of her name as he yells some French words over his shoulder. I could hear a faint female's voice replying to him in the background before I see a mop of dark hair appear at the entrance.

The one and only Jacqueline Pierre.

"Oh my God," She appears to be surprised at my arrival as she throws herself at me for a bear hug. "April fucking White!"

"That's me," I laugh. She squeals into my ear and I see the guy retreat into the house like he owns the damn house. How dare he!

"You never said you were coming."

"Well... surprise?"

"Come on in." She grins and steps aside for me to enter. My eyes roam the apartment as I take off my jacket. The place is homely and elegant, just like Jim's house.

"Did you come alone? Why didn't Jim come along?"

"I'm here with someone, Jim couldn't make it," I accept the mug of coffee she offers me and press my lips to the tip of the cup, enjoying the heat radiating from it.

"Someone? You mean him?"

"There are so many 'hims' in the world. Be specific."

"Bullshit. You know who I'm talking about, Jim's been giving me a lot of details," She smirks. That blabbermouth. "We FaceTimed last night where he told me everything and I'm surprised he didn't say you were coming."

"The idiot's just whipped."
