Chapter 6 - Not going anywhere

Two weeks have passed and sure enough, Domenic has kept insisting on talking to me. He didn't come in person every time but the flowers have kept coming in every day.

"Dinner?" was the only thing written on the card today. The card I threw away and the flowers I gave to Ms, Robin, it would be a shame to throw them into the trash.

"Do you wanna do something tonight? See a movie or something?" I asked Summer.

"Ohh I can't tonight. I have a date?" She said happily.

"With whom?" I asked as I put down a cup and threw a rag on the counter.

"A guy I meet online."

"Why are you meeting people online? You are Summer Davis Jones for God's sake, men are literally chasing you." I say in disbelief.

"That is because they are after the Davis Jones part, not the Summer part." I can't relate to that problem but I can understand.

"And this guy isn't?"

"Well, he is meeting Summer Danes, so…”

Ohh I almost forgot about the last name trick she uses.

"Right, that word game you play with your last name. I have to say very clever on your part." I say as a big group of people come into the cafe.

"If business keeps up like this soon I'll have to expand," I say as Summer smiles suspiciously.

"What did you do?" I ask her.

"I may have tweeted and shared on my I***a that this is the it place to be, and I may have said that Sophie Chapelle will be signing her new book here." What?

"Summer but that is a lie, I don't know Sophie Chapelle." I say as more people come in.

"But I do, and she agreed to do this as a little favor for me. She will be here at five. I told Jess to reserve the sofa for her." Oh my God.

"I can't believe you did that. Thank you so much Summer, it means the world to me."

"Hey don't mention it, friends should support friends. You would do the same for me." I don't have the resources or the connections she has but yes I would do the same.

"Well if you ever need me to do something for you just say the word." To that, she looked at me with a soft look on her face.

"I would love it if you and my brother could coexist in the same place so that I could have two people I love always by my side." I think my face said it all.

"Ok I'm off now, you will tell me all about it, and don't forget to take pictures." She said as she hopped off the chair and left. Man, you got to love her.

Sure enough by five pm, this place was so full a toothpick wouldn't even fit it. Summer even sent cases of vine to the cafe, and personnel with glasses and everything. I mean fucking Sophie Chapelle was here, at my cafe. Signing her new book. I devoured her every book, they were my therapy.

The fact that Summer wasn't here was a shame.

By eight pm the cafe still very much resembled a club, I had an urgent need to restock everything. It was crazy. I managed to get my signed copy of the book and when I went to take a picture of it with my phone I had a call from Summer.

I went outside so I would be able to hear her from all the noise outside. As soon as I answered I heard her panicked voice.

"Autumn." Something was off.

"Summer are you ok?" I asked frantically

"Something is not right with this guy Autumn. We met at the restaurant and everything was fine then he asked me if I wanted to go see this new art exhibit and I said yes. But this place is strange Autumn, I just left at the back door... Aaaaaahh!!!"

My blood froze as I heard Summer scream.

"Summer! Summer can you hear me? Summer." The call ended I was left standing. What do I do?

Before I even realized my legs led me to a street corner where I fetched a taxi. If there was someone who had resources and people in the right places to find Summer, it was Domenic.

I had to go to his office, Summer said once he had a habit of working late so this is where he should be.I got to his building at the same time he was coming out with a man walking behind him. He looked so surprised to see me running towards him.

"Autumn." Domenic said with a smile on his face. He really needs to read people's facial expressions better.

"Domenic, Summer... Something happened to Summer." I managed to say as I caught my breath.

"What are you talking about Autumn? Where is Summer?" He instantly went into panic mode.

"She had a date tonight but she called me saying something was off about the guy and that she was leaving but then I heard her scream and the call ended. You have to find her Domenic." I tried to explain the best I could.

"Call the head of security, I want them to locate Summer now!"

Domenic said to the man behind him.

"Can I have your phone miss, it was the last one to have contact with." The man said to me.

"Of course, take it. Just find her." He took the phone out of my hand and they walked back into the building and I followed them. We walked into a big room filled with computers and devices where they connected my phone to their software.

Domenic was understandably upset, his body was shaking while his eyes traveled from one monitor to another. I felt an urge to touch him, to comfort him but no. I can't. I have to resist, this isn't about him. It's about Summer.

"What is happening, did you find her?" They looked at the screen until a red dot appeared on the map.

"We have her." The man yelled and they ran outside where a group of armed men were waiting.

"You take her home." Domenic said to one of his men.

"I'm coming with you, I'm not going anywhere until I see Summer." I say as I push past him and enter his car. Without wasting any more time Domenic entered the car and we started driving.
