Wild and Wicked

Chapter Eleven: Cara’s New Client

It was Saturday afternoon and I was relaxing at home watching smut TV, I got a call from the front desk of the building that someone had dropped off a package for me. I was on the fence to go downstairs and get it. I know Bryce wasn’t far but something felt off about this. I decided to text Bryce and let him know. I went down stairs to the front desk and the gentleman gave me the package. I took it upstairs and Bryce was waiting at the door, I asked him inside and I went to my table and opened it. Once again there fell out pictures of me at the gym, yoga, running in the park and my condo building. I looked at Bryce frightened and he grabbed me and hugged me, we’ve become close so he knew this was scaring me. He put gloves on and collected the pictures and called Andrew. Bryce had to leave for a little bit but I promised him I’d stay in the condo and lock the doors.

This package was the second one in a month, so I am not sure what this person is getting at. I was contemplating reaching out to Jeff but I left it for now until Andrew reached out to me. My thing is how is the person getting so close that Bryce hasn’t smelled him out. I won’t dwell on it, it’ll just eat me alive.

My phone started ringing and it scared the s**t out of me. It was a number I didn’t recognize but I decided to answer it anyway.

C: Good afternoon, Cara Smith speaking

J: Hi Cara, my name is Jackson and I play hockey with your brother, him and Adam recommended you to design my home.

C: Hi Jackson, haha of course my brother would do that and not tell me. But I am glad to help.

J: He just told me last night, apparently my house is a cold prison, haha

C: Haha he didn’t, okay well by the sounds of it it’s a blank canvas and my favourite

J: Would you be interested is making my cold prison into a warm fluffy one?

C: Hahaha I’d like to, I do have 2 projects on the go and 5 others I need to start, but I’d like to come by and look at what I’m working with, what’s your address?

J: Wow you’re a busy woman, if you can’t get me in, no worries at all. My address is in the Tribeca area. It’s the new condominium Complex. I bought the Penthouse Suite

C: I know which one that is, I could be there tomorrow around 10am.

J: That works, it’s our day off after our game tonight.

C: Sounds good, see you tomorrow Jackson.

J: Bye Cara.

When I got off the phone with Jackson, my mind went blank, his voice was so sexy and he was funny. Jeff should have warned me, but I get it. He plays with Jackson so my brother must trust him, only thing is I didn’t recognize him so he must be new.

A few hours later, Bryce came back and Andrew wanted Bryce closer to me and wanted me to tell Jeff. But I’d do that later, I got Bryce a beer and turned on the hockey game. I saw a New Jersey 87 number out there and thought that must be Jackson.
