****************************************************************************************************************************
Josh started at Louisa stopping midway in the process of opening a bottle of Glenfiddich.
‘How?’ he asked.
‘You know that flash drive I gave Josef at Maria and Angelo’s? I thought that was the one with the spelling, math and problem solving game on it. It must’ve been the one with the photos on it, it must’ve been. How else would Lisa have gotten hold of the photos? She would’ve had to install the game on her computer for Josef he’s not that computer savvy to do it himself and I’ve seen her laptop it’s the top of the range Apple Mac and those things have the capacity to automatically open flash drive folders when you plug them in. That’s what my lappy does and it’s the top of the range Toshiba. It’s my fault this is my entirely my fault!’
Josh’s face fell.
‘Please tell me you’re joking’ he whispered a look of total hurt and betrayal drifting over his face ‘seriously tell me you’re joking’
A lump formed in Louisa’s throat and her eyes welled with tears.
‘No I’m not’ she said ‘I’m not a hundred percent sure but how else would she have gotten the pictures?’
Josh put the bottle of Glenfiddich down and picked up a bottle of Patron Tequila. He poured himself half a tumbler glass and downed it retching slightly as it burned its way down his throat. He then put the bottles back in the liquor cabinet and close the door on the cabinet snapping the catch shut.
‘Excuse me for a minute’ he said in a neutral tone.
And with that he disappeared upstairs leaving a bewildered Louisa sitting on the couch
Josh didn’t return to the master bedroom that night and refused to answer Louisa when she knocked on the boy’s bedroom door where he had sequestered himself. Deciding that leaving him alone was the best strategy for the time being she returned to the master bedroom had a shower dressed in her warmest pyjamas and went to bed
****************************************************************************************************************************
Josh was gone the following morning when Louisa rose to start the day. She opened the bedroom door to find a scrap of paper stuck to the master bedroom door and written upon it was a short note from Josh.
‘I’ve taken Mocha out for a couple of hours. I need to clear my head. Don’t worry about me I’m not going to do anything stupid I just need some time alone xx J’
With a long drawn out sigh Louisa pocketed the note and made her way downstairs where she poured herself a bowl of cornflakes and cut strawberries and sat down at the breakfast bar despondently stirring her favourite cereal into a bowl of multi-coloured mush. Cookie deftly leapt up onto the breakfast bar and padded along where he sat down in front of Louisa’s cereal bowl pushing his elegant sculptured head into her face.
‘You know you’re not supposed to be up here’ she scolded the cat half heartedly pushing him away.
Cookie meowed and rubbed his head against her hand.
‘You know I’m feeling like crap don’t you boy?’ she muttered scratching her feline companion’s ears ‘how’s Josh this morning? Is he angry at me? He should be I did something really stupid and bad’
Cookie continued to rub his face on her arm.
‘I’ve majorly fucked up Cookie I don’t know if J and I can work things out’ Louisa mumbled fingering her engagement ring which glittered just as brightly as the day Josh gave it to her ‘what do you think huh?
Cookie sat in front of her half empty cereal bowl peering at her intently.
‘More than a stare would be nice’
****************************************************************************************************************************
After breakfast Louisa put her bowl into the dishwasher and brushed her teeth. She was sitting down at the piano mindlessly plunking at the keys when she heard a car pull up outside on the street a minute after a brisk knock came at the door. Sighing loudly Louisa got up and padded barefoot toward the door. She unlocked the elegant stained glass door to find Charlotte and her colleague and friend Bianca James standing there both laden down with luggage.
‘Hey guys come in’ she said in a defeated tone stepping aside.
‘Are you alright doll?’ Charlotte asked striding forward and hugging her friend tightly.
‘No not really but I’ll tell you more in a minute come in come in’ Louisa said.
‘Alright then, well this is Bianca James my friend from work. BJ this is my best friend Louie Riminton’ Charlotte said pulling back and introducing the older woman ‘we’ve already got a plan worked out where to go from here. Where’s Josh?’
An errant tear escaped Louisa’s right eye.
‘I don’t know’ she said ‘I woke up three hours ago to find a note stuck to the bedroom door saying he’d taken Mocha out for a run. I thought he’d be back by now it’s nearly midday’
‘Has he got his cell on him?’ BJ asked in concern.
‘I dunno but probably yeah he usually takes it wherever he goes I haven’t tried ringing or texting him’
‘I better ring him and get him back to the house then’ BJ said.
‘Alright then well I better show you to your rooms first then follow me’
Louisa grabbed one of Charlotte’s bags and led the way up the steps to the spacious first landing.
‘Okay BJ your room is the fourth one along’ she said pointing to a door a bit further down the hallway ‘the main bathroom is next door’
‘Okie dokie thanks!’
BJ went down the hallway and disappeared into her room and Louisa led Charlotte to her room.
‘Alright what the hell’s going on?’ Charlotte asked turning on her friend and dumping her suitcase on her queen sized bed.
Louisa broke down.
‘J’s not talking to me’ she cried tears streaming down her face ‘he hasn’t since just after we hung up last night. He spent the night in the boys room and was gone when I got up this morning’
‘I have a feeling there’s more to this story’
‘There is’ Louisa moaned leaning into her friend’s embrace ‘I think I’m the one that gave the flash drive to Lisa’
‘How? Why? You wouldn’t do that’
‘Not intentionally no way in hell’ Louisa said ‘see I bought Josef this game with Maths, spelling and problem solving puzzles in it and installed it on my laptop then copied it onto a black Toshiba flash drive. When Josh and I packed up the boys to return them to Maria and Angelo’s I put what I thought was the right Toshiba flash drive in my handbag then gave it to Josef in front of Lisa for her to install the same game on her laptop. I must’ve given Josef the wrong flash drive! And now Josh hates me and isn’t talking to me’
‘Okay first of all are you absolutely sure you gave Josef the wrong flash drive?’ Charlotte asked in a firm tone as she held her friend at arms length.
‘Well not a hundred percent but how else would Lisa have gotten hold of the pictures? The only other place I put them aside from my laptop and Josh’s laptop is his blackberry and my iPhone. Aside from taking the boys to school and Kindy we didn’t cross the East River all week!’
‘Okay calm down take a deep breath and don’t stress Josh doesn’t hate you’ Charlotte said as she began unpacking her suitcase ‘did he say he thinks you gave the flash drive to Lisa on purpose?’’
‘No but then he's not saying anything to me period’ Louisa said flopping down on a nearby chair ‘but I know he thinks I did it. I know him I can feel the vibe’
‘Well then when he gets back you must confront him’ Charlotte said hanging up her court robes on the back of the bedroom door ‘if you don’t things will only stew and manifest at the worst possible time’
Louisa groaned.
‘Yeah I know and that’s what I’m dreading’ she said dropping her face in her hands ‘I hate confrontation. I’d so be a Hufflepuff’
Charlotte let out a great snort of laughter.
‘You’re more Ravenclaw though given you studied everything and anything at school and Uni’ she said opening the wardrobe ‘maybe on the cusp of Hufflepuff’
The two friends laughed.
‘Have you and BJ eaten?’ Louisa asked a moment later getting up out of the chair she had been sitting in.
‘Not since the light breakfast on the plane’
‘I’ll go downstairs and start making something then’ Louisa said ‘I need to keep busy, see you downstairs alright?
‘Yup no worries’
Louisa went downstairs and started on making a simple Thai green curry. Soon the house smelt alluringly of lemongrass and chilli and that drew BJ and Charlotte downstairs in addition to an enquiring Cookie who jumped up on the breakfast bar his nose high in the hair as he smelled the aromas.
‘Oi you get off there’ Louisa scolded pushing the cat off the bench after she’d added a can of coconut cream to the wok ‘little shit you’ve already done that once today’
‘I’ll have double helpings of that’ BJ said cheerfully inhaling the curry aroma deeply.
‘Pig’ Charlotte said with a snort as she slid into one of the barstools.
‘So sue me I like green curry’ BJ said with a grin.
‘So did you get in touch with Josh?’ Louisa asked worriedly.
‘Yeah he’s fine he was taking your dog for a run up in Riverside Park and was just getting into his car after filling it up with gas when I called him fifteen minutes ago’
‘Riverside Park?’ Louisa yelped ‘that’s in Buffalo! He went upstate just to avoid me?’
‘He is not avoiding you’ Charlotte said.
‘He said he just needed to clear his head and would be back about half past one’ BJ said ‘don’t stress he didn’t sound angry’
‘Well he wouldn’t not at you’ Louisa said as she began chopping up a bunch of coriander treating the poor bunch of herbs with more violence than it deserved ‘you’re his attorney. I’m just his stupid fiancée who he thinks gave his ex the flash drive with those photos on it on purpose’
‘Hey you don’t know that’ Charlotte said.
‘That’s true you don’t know that for sure’ BJ said ‘even if you did you didn’t do anything illegal. You didn’t sell the picture to TMZ you haven’t profited from the release of that picture. In fact when we find out who has profited from the sale I’m fully prepared to go to court and sue on your behalf. You could lose your job over this and that alone is a reason to go to court’
‘I don’t want to cause any more trouble’ Louisa mumbled.
‘You don’t know you’ve caused any trouble yet’ Charlotte said.
‘Yes Lisa has’ BJ said ‘though that’s only a suspicion at this stage when Oliver my brother gets back to me later today we ought to find out for sure’
‘What’s the likelihood of being able to find out for sure who leaked the pictures and what they got paid for it?’ Louisa asked adding some jasmine rice to the pot of boiling water.
‘Oh pretty good’ Charlotte said with a satisfied grin ‘Olly hasn’t let us down yet’
‘He’s in the entertainment reporter?’ Louisa asked BJ in interest.
‘Nah he’s a court reporter’ BJ said with a grin ‘he can find out anything seriously he gives journalists a good name not all of them are creepy sons of bitches’
‘So how can he find out about the price of a TMZ picture when he’s into crime reporting?’
‘I don’t know he won’t reveal his contacts it’s some unwritten journalistic rule’ BJ said rolling her eyes ‘but he can find out anything. Since Char’s met Josh I’ve been involved more and more in the entertainment business and if I need to find out how much a TMZ pic cost or want to know all the goss I go to him’
‘Well you go to me for the goss to your bother for TMZ picture prices’ Charlotte said with a snort of laughter.
‘Yeah well there is that’
‘So where do we start trying to organise this huge shit pile?’ Louisa asked with a sigh as she took the curry off the heat.
‘At the beginning when Josh gets back’ BJ said ‘we can’t do much until then. And even then it’s mainly between Char and I and him. We can’t do much with your side of things til after we find out about the pictures because primarily this is a child custody case and yours will be a civil suit. Those are two different cases and we have to treat them as such’
Louisa groaned loudly.
‘This is going to be one long drawn out situation isn’t it?’ she said.
‘Well I won’t lie to you it could be custody cases rarely resolve after one or two hearings’ BJ said ‘but if your and Josh’s suspicions are right and we get proof Lisa leaked those photos and got paid for it we could wrap this up inside a week and move onto the litigation stage. The priority for Char and I at the moment is for us to get Josh access to his kids. After that we can relax a bit. We need to prioritise’
****************************************************************************************************************************
Shortly after quarter to two Josh arrived home with Mocha in sweat stained sweats his normally neat hair windblown and sticking up in all directions. Mocha a usually bright happy dog slumped in obviously having been exercised hard and wandered into the lounge room flopping onto her bed with a loud grunt.
‘Hey are you alright?’ Louisa asked softly meeting him in the foyer and laying a hand on his forearm.
Josh stiffened at her touch and Louisa snatched her hand away as if burnt.
‘I’m fine’ he said mildly ‘I need to go and have a shower’
And with that he disappeared upstairs once again leaving Louisa alone in the foyer. She waited til she heard the subtle whirr of the guest bathroom shower being turned on before she started up the stairs and followed the noise. She pulled the door open and strode across the spacious blue and white tiled bathroom where she wrenched open the shower door grabbed Josh’s wrist and pulled him out of the shower.
‘WHAT ARE YOU DOING?’ he bellowed hurriedly wiping shampoo suds from his eyes ‘ah shit that stings!’
Louisa yanked a towel off the nearby rack and gave it to him.
‘I want to know why you’re ignoring me!’ she shrilled her voice wavering dangerously.
‘I’m not ignoring you!’ Josh exclaimed wiping at his eyes ‘ow’
‘Bullshit you’re not ignoring me! What do you call not coming to bed last night and getting up this morning and not telling me where the hell you were? I-‘
‘I wasn’t aware you were my Mom and I needed to tell you where I was’ Josh snapped.
‘YOU’RE MY FIANCÉ!’ Louisa bellowed and angry frustrated tears spilling down her cheeks ‘I love you! It worries me when you pull shit like that!’
‘Well excuuuuuse me!’ Josh said sarcastically.
‘Why are you ignoring me Josh?’ Louisa asked softening her tone.
‘Dammit because I’m hurt’ Josh said avoiding her gaze.
‘But why?’
‘Because you gave Lisa those pictures you swore would stay private!’
Louisa’s face and stomach fell.
‘You think I did it on purpose don’t you?’ she whispered ‘you really think I-‘
‘No I-‘
‘I hate you Joshua Bell how DARE you assume I would do that!’ Louisa exclaimed her voice getting higher and higher with every word ‘I would never do that! I took those photos purely exclusively for us. Never in a hundred million years would I release them to the public! I intended for them to go on your laptop my laptop and our phones you-‘
‘Well your intention has done fuck all hasn’t it?’ Josh snapped ‘I knew I shouldn’t have gone ahead and agreed to you taking them! And now they’re in the mainstream gossip media!’
‘Answer me one question’
‘I’d rather finish off my shower if you don’t mind’ Josh said testily.
‘Dammit Josh answer me one fucking question it’s not going to kill you! Answer me this one question and II will leave you to fondle yourself in the shower’
‘Go on’ Josh said testily crossing his arms across his chest.
‘Do you honestly think I gave Josef the wrong flash drive on purpose?’
‘I-I....don’t know what to believe at the moment’ Josh said hesitatingly.
‘Oh come on!’
‘It’s the truthful answer!’ Josh exclaimed ‘you may not have given him the wrong flash drive on purpose but you are the reason Lisa got them and sold that picture to TMZ and I have to deal with that. I’m hurt beyond belief Louie and I need some time alone’
‘Go back to the fucking loft then’ Louisa whispered fat tears leaking down her cheeks ‘I can’t believe you of all people would think I did that on purpose!'
Josh reached forward and grasped her hand but Louisa yanked it out of his grasp.
‘Now I’m the one hurt Josh congratulations!’
And with that Louisa turned on her heel and stormed out of the bathroom slamming the door of the bathroom behind her. Bursting into tears she ran down the hallway and into the master bedroom where she fell on the bed letting all the emotions she was feeling pour out if her in body wracking sobs. Moments later there was a soft knock at the door.
‘Go away Josh!’’
‘Honey its Char’ Charlotte called ‘can I come in?’
Louisa hiccuped.
‘A-alr-right’
Charlotte opened the door and entered the bedroom padding over to the side of the bed and kneeling on the floor.
‘What happened?’ she asked stroking her friend’s hair.
More tears leaked out of Louisa’s eyes.
‘I asked Josh if he thought I gave Josef that flash drive on purpose and he hesitated before saying ‘I don’t know what to think’ He thinks I did it on purpose Charlie! I know he does!’
‘Did he actually say he doesn’t believe you?’
‘No but you should’ve seen his face Charlie, you had to be there!’ Louisa moaned jeez this could ruin us it really could’
‘Now that I doubt’ Charlotte said ‘you and Josh are pretty solid-‘
‘I thought we were Charlie but I’ve never seen the look he had on is face before’ Louisa said gulping hard ‘all I want to do is hug him and make love to him but he doesn’t want to know me right now’
‘You thought about pulling him into a dark corner, dropping to your knees and playing his skin flute?’ Charlotte asked with a snort of laughter ‘I did that with my Josh once’
‘I can’t forcibly go down on him Charlie and anyway neither of us is in the right frame of mind to do anything dodgy’ Louisa said with a small hiccup ‘you really did that to your Josh?’
Charlotte sat on the floor with a giggle.
‘Yeah I did’ she said ‘I can’t even remember what we argued about. But I sucked him off til just before he blew then stopped went downstairs got in my car and went into Shadow Hills for a coffee. I came home to find him whacking off in the shower then I did it properly’
Louisa let out a great snort of laughter.
‘I’m not sure I really want to know but had he come yet?’ she asked with a giggle.
‘No because when I leave him like that he can’t bring himself to come by his own hand’ Charlotte said with a giggle 'the sex we had after that was out of this world he couldn’t stand up for fifteen minutes afterwards’
Louisa grinned.
‘I can’t do that to my J Charlie’ she said with a sniff ‘it’s just different ya know? I can’t describe it’
‘I know hon I doubt half of what Josh and I get up to would work for other couples but maybe you can adapt things for your boy’ Charlotte said with a grin ‘I’ve told you enough about our sex life you should have heaps of tips by now’
Louisa snorted.
‘I do but never remember any’ she said ‘when Josh and I are in the zone we just give in to what we’re feeling’
‘And that’s what making love is all about’ Charlotte said getting up onto her knees ‘it’s an art not a science. If you don’t think it’s going to work don’t try anything on Josh. He’s right you know he just needs to figure out how he feels. Don’t worry whatever he’s feeling he’s still in love with you’
‘I’m not entirely sure about that’
‘Don’t you give up on him Louie I’ve seen you two together you’re soul mates and I mean true soul mates and that sort of love doesn’t easily die’ Charlotte said ‘it’ll take more than this little hiccup to break you two up’
‘Charlie this isn’t a little hiccup’ Louisa groaned burying her face in her pillow.
‘Thinks will work out pal trust me I’m a lawyer’ Charlotte said with a snort stroking her friend’s hair ‘plus I’m your best friend if you can’t trust me who can you trust? You and Josh will work things out. Maybe not anytime soon but you will work things out I’m confident of that’
‘Well forgive me if I don’t share your optimism’ Louisa said with a watery cough.
Charlotte stood up.
‘You’ll be fine’ she said ‘now I better go any play lawyer. I’ll try and pull Josh aside and find out what he’s thinking he might talk to me’
‘Thanks for the offer but I don’t think it’s going to work’ Louisa said with a sniff.
‘Just trust me’
****************************************************************************************************************************
After five hours of preparing a case to go to court Charlotte and BJ packed things in for the day.
‘J can I have a word?’ Charlotte asked as Louisa came downstairs her eyes bright red from having being rubbed constantly ‘back porch maybe?’
‘I’ll help Louie with dinner’ BJ said diplomatically.
‘Yeah alright come on’ Josh said drink?’
‘Beer thanks’
Josh retrieved two bottles of Crown Lager from the kitchen and led Charlotte out onto the back porch.
‘You want to grill me about why I’m not talking to Louie’ he said perceptively as soon as the back door shut behind them and they sat down on one of the lounge chairs.
‘I wouldn’t call it a grilling’ Charlotte said skillfully flipping the cap off her bottle and catching it deftly ‘I know better than to get involved with the love lives of my friends I just want to hear things from your side. No judgment promise’
Josh opened his beer and sucked down several mouthfuls before flopping back in his seat with a sigh.
‘God where should I start?’
‘Well in Law school we were taught the beginning is always a good place’ Charlotte said dryly.
Josh rolled his eyes.
‘Ha ha‘ he said ‘well a couple of weeks ago Louie came home from work and asked me if she cold take some photos of me and the boys’ because when I was on a recital tour earlier in the year she went to Indiana and visited my Mom and family and noticed none of them have any recent photos of me’
‘I see go on’
‘Then we were outside skinny dipping in the pool and she asked if she could take some photos of me in a more....erm...’
‘Adult setting?’ Charlotte suggested.
‘Yeah in a more adult setting’ Josh said his face turning a faint shade of pink ‘I said no then she just pushed and asked why not? Don’t you trust me?’ I said I did trust her but I couldn’t risk any adult pictures getting out of me because my career totally relies on image and it’s not just me I have to consider. I have contractual agreements with management and my record label that I have to stick by. Then things got a bit heated and we both said things we both regretted. As a result of that argument we literally didn’t talk for a whole week'
‘Wow a whole week not even Josh and I have given each other the silent treatment for that long’ Charlotte said ‘go on’
‘Well in due course we made up and I agreed to let Louie take the adult photos’ Josh said ‘not to put too light a point on it was some of the best fun I’ve had in my entire life. When the boys were at school we took photos everywhere and anywhere. I took photos of her and she took photos of me. Of the more conventional ones and of the boys we sent to my family and Lisa’s parents and Louie even made up a folder of photos for Lisa herself. Then on Sunday we both took the boys to Maria and Angelo’s they’re Lisa’s parents and in front of Lisa Louie gave Josef a flash drive that was supposed to have a math, spelling and puzzle game on it for him. As it turns out it was the flash drive that contained the photos we took that week several of which showed me in a situation that really only should be seen by Louie and I. The photo that appeared on TMZ was one of the more lascivious ones. I’m surprised they didn’t pick one that showed my balls’
‘Did Louie take any where you had your junk out?’ Charlotte asked.
‘No she insisted on strategically placed towels or linen. The one that appeared on the TMZ homepage was about as close to showing my junk as you could get’ Josh groaned slapping his forehead ‘I have the original picture on my Blackberry and they or Lisa have definitely enhanced things in the junk department. If I were that big and Louie’s breasts were that big I wouldn’t be able to walk and she wouldn’t be able to stand up straight’
Charlotte snorted but quickly covered her amusement by taking in a mouthful of beer.
‘Do you honestly think Louie gave those pictures to Lisa on purpose?’ she asked after a long pause the only thing breaking the silence was Mocha who was laying on her bed at the end of the porch chewing on a rubber chicken.
‘Oh god of course I don’t’ Josh said ‘no way in the world’
‘She thinks you do you know’
‘Then why isn’t she out here trying to talk?’
‘She tried that but she gave up when you gave her the impression you think she released the pictures on purpose’ Charlotte said kicking off her shoes and putting them on the edge of a nearby planter box ‘she’s scared you don’t want her anymore. She’s scared to try and talk to you after that screaming match you had in the guest bathroom this afternoon’
‘Oh god of course I still want her!’ Josh groaned ‘I’ve loved her like I’ve never loved any woman before; I just need to deal with this in my own way. I’m just really hurt. I want her to know that’
‘Then you need to take her aside and tell her that without the yelling and bellowing’ Charlotte said sagely ‘do it tomorrow when BJ are in town at the Manhattan Family court organising a court date and serving Lisa with her appearance papers. You two need some proper alone time for a heart to heart chat. Trust me if you let it stew like it’s starting to the pressure will get worse and worse til it manifests in a way that neither of you want nor your relationship is ruined. I don’t want to see that happen to either of you. You’ve waited all this time to find the right person it’d be a tragedy if it ended’
‘Yeah I know’ Josh said despondently resting a chin ‘I dunno Charlotte I just can’t bring myself to go to her at the moment I really can’t I need to do this in my own time I really do’
‘Alright then I’m not going to push you but keep in mind what I’ve said’ Charlotte said draining the last of her beer ‘I know I’m your attorney but first and foremost I’m your friend and I want the best for you. Don’t leave it too late’
‘I hear ya Charlotte’
