from?” Sally asks.
Where she going with this?
“Yeah, sure.” He shrugs.
“Even if it was titled ‘Anonymous’ on the sent line?” Sally glances at me, and my stomach sinks. She didn’t.
“Sure.” I give him my phone and open the e-mail sent to Tommy. Jerrod punches into various programs and says, “It came from this building. I can’t tell you anything more than that without more information.”
“That’s enough for me. Thanks.” My lips press into a thin line. “Thanks, Karen.”
We walk down to our room, and I sit on my bed. “Someone in this building sent Tommy that video of Bobby kissing me. How much you want to bet it was her?” I say with my head in my hands.
“I don’t take sucker bets, darlin’,” she says with a sneer. “I think you should talk to your advisor.”
“I was going to call my aunt and ask her to come down for a visit. She wants to meet Professor Stewart anyway. I can tell her all the shit that Lily has pulled, and she’ll be able to request an investigation from Chadwick. Hopefully, Lily left some kind of an electronic fingerprint somewhere.”
“She’s manipulative, but I don’t think she’s smart enough to know how to cover her tracks that well. She probably thought you would get thrown out of school and just leave.”
“I was waiting on you. That’s why I asked you this morning, dork.” She smiles.
“I would really like for you to meet my aunt. We can stay at the hotel with her, show her around town, and explore all the shit I haven’t seen. She’s a riot. I promise it will be fun.”
“I’m in!”
I call Aunt Patty, and she answers on the first ring. “Hi Amber. What’s up?”
“A couple of things, but the reason I’m calling is that I want to invite you down to visit. That is if you can come. Summer break is next week. I was going to hang out and study before the summer session starts, but my roommate tells me that I’m completely lame. So, I thought you could come down. We could stay at the hotel with you and explore Austin. What do you think?”
“I would love to.”
“I want you to meet my advisor. He might be around if he has classes scheduled over the summer. Can you stay until Wednesday of the following week? That’s when the summer term starts. We might be able to catch him then. I don’t want you to miss work if you don’t have enough vacation days. Maybe you could stagger the time so you’re here over a weekend. That way, you won’t miss too much work.”
“I’m sure it won’t be a problem. I liked the hotel I stayed in when we came down. Why don’t I book two rooms?” Her voice is filled with excitement.
“That sounds good. Text me once you know when you can fly down. Bye.”
“Bye, hon.”
I hang up the phone and look at Sally. “She’s going to text me the info. I hope mom doesn’t give her shit about using the jet,” I say offhand.
“Your family has its own jet?” Sally says, her eyes widen to big brown saucers.
“Yeah,” I say looking away. It’s always so embarrassing whenever a friend finds out how wealthy my family is. I hate that look.
“So, why haven’t you invited me to Paris yet, bitch?” Sally says with her hand on her hips.
“I don’t know. Not willing to give up a pound of my flesh, maybe?” I sigh. “Everything comes with a price with my mom,” I say hoping my eyes don’t reveal how sad that makes me. “Bobby asked me out. I said yes. Is that ok with you?”
“Why should I care? I have no desire to go down that road again. Believe me.” She waves me off. “Go have fun.” Her face curves into a smirk as he points her finger at me, playfully. “Watch his moves, honey, or you’ll be one of the many.”
“There is no chance in hell that I am sleeping with him. None. Nada.”
“You will be surprised how fast that man can get your resolve to fade away. Almost as fast as he gets girls out of their panties, I’ll bet. Besides, you don’t need to jump into something else. You haven’t even talked to Tommy.”
“And, obviously I’m not going to. That ship has sailed. I’ve tried to reach him, and I haven’t heard word one. I think I’m finally ready to move on.”
“Well, I just got you back. You are not tying yourself down to
