Deadly Passion (Book 2)

Deadly Passion (15)

"Stalked." Priscilla read the title aloud.

Corey had invited her back to his office to discuss the script he thought would be better than Nate's own. He wasn't thinking of putting it into production anytime soon but anything to be around her was worth a shot.

"Yeah, it's a modern thriller. What do you think?" He asked.

Priscilla scanned through the first couple pages and strangely liked it. It was the typical stalker boyfriend but it had a nice and different plot twist that captured her interest.

"I like it."

"Perfect! Let's get Tori in for an audition."

"On one condition." Priscilla cut in.

"Anything."

"I want an audition for my daughter as well."

"Done."

Janessa stared off into space as Maria, her best friend, talked on and on about her new boyfriend. She knew this one wouldn't last long but she pacified her friend anyway by listening- or something close to that.

After the blow up between Keith and Tori, they came to a compromise where she would stay away from Kyle and he promised not to kill him. Janessa knew she would do no such thing because her eyes landed on Tori across the room talking to Kyle. That boy would be the death of her.

"...so I told him we should go slow, you know? Since I'm not fully over Terry." Maria finished.

"That's good, you shouldn't rush into anything too soon." She mumbled as her eyes caught Tori leaving with Kyle. "I'll be right back."

Janessa ran after them with Maria staring after her wide-eyed. She caught up with them in the hallway and grabbed Tori's hand. She whirled around, stunned, as she looked into Janessa's eyes.

"Tori..." She warned.

"Hey, what the fuck are you doing?" Kyle growled as he stepped closer to her.

"Kyle, please." Tori's soft voice spoke as she placed a hand on his chest.

"I need Tori to stay with me. I have to talk to her about something." Janessa stared up at him with her shoulders squared and her chin high.

No man would cower her down.

"Like hell you do. She's my girlfriend so leave us alone."

"I can't do that, Kyle. I've warned you before to leave Tori alone." She took a step forward to him.

His eyes narrowed as his jaw clenched. He wanted nothing more than to slap the shit out of her. She was always being a cock-block, especially when he was trying to get with her. Janessa had a nice round ass that he wanted to mount but she wouldn't even give him the time of day.

"She's just jealous, babe." He turned to Tori. "She wants me even though she knows I only love you."

"Is that true?" Tori turned to Janessa with hurt in her eyes.

Are you freaking kidding me? She thought to herself.

"Tori, are you insane?" She stared at her friend. "You know I don't like him."

"Do I?" She withdrew her hand and stood behind Kyle. "Just leave us alone!"

"Yeah, get lost, bitch." Kyle said after, leaving Janessa in a state of shock.

Just then, Maria came up from behind Janessa and gave Kyle a good, hard slap. His eyes darkened as Tori gasped and his fists were ready to throw.

"Don't you dare talk to her like that!" She hissed.
