Chapter 10

Hadley arrived at Sarah and Cooper’s house a little before six after running last minute errands. Tomorrow she would be Mrs. Sam Bennett, and all of the running around and last-minute details would all be worth it. But first she had to get through her bachelorette party.

She wanted to spend tonight with Sam, but since it was bad luck to see the bride before the wedding, she kissed him goodbye in the morning and sent him packing back to his place.

He was going out with the boys anyway, while the girls were being hosted by a very generous Sarah, especially since she was an exhausted mother of an eight month and nine-year-old, who was also running an increasingly successful business. Ever since Bex Shepard, Hollywood’s newest It girl, wore one of Sarah’s necklaces to a red carpet event, the demand for the repurposed vintage jewelry she transformed into one-of-a-kind pieces were hot commodities.

Even with her hectic schedule, she managed to create Hadley a beautiful pair of earrings and a matching bracelet to wear on her wedding day. Tonight, she’d see the finished pieces, and she couldn’t wait.

Hadley knocked on the door and waited a few seconds before letting herself in. She heard voices coming from the living room and followed them until she found her grandmother and Terry sitting on the couch with martini glasses in their hands.

“Grandma, Terry,” Hadley said as she unwrapped her scarf from around her neck and draped it on the coat hanger. “I wasn’t expecting you guys to... is that a…” The word got stuck in Hadley’s throat as she tried to push it around the growing lump of mortification. She pointed at the headbands they were wearing and tried again but only stuttered a few sounds.

“Sheesh,” Terry exclaimed. “It’s like the girl has never seen a penis before.”

Heat rose up Hadley’s neck and into her cheeks, turning into an all-out raging inferno.

“Maybe she hasn’t,” Betty said, arching an insinuating eyebrow in Hadley’s direction.

Terry snorted. “One night with that smoking hot fiancé of hers and her panties would have melted right off.”

“Sam did grow into a little hottie.”

“Okay!” Hadley held her hand up, hoping that would be enough to stop them. She refused to discuss her sex life with her grandmother and her friend despite the fact that she whole heartedly agreed with them. “Where’s Sarah?”

“In the kitchen. She and the girls were checking on the Jell-O shots.”

“Jell-O shots?”

“It wouldn’t be a party without them now would it?” Terry said, and Betty nodded her agreement.

Hadley was all about a good time, but she was getting married tomorrow and she didn’t need a bunch of hungover people standing at the altar with her. “I’m going to go check on them.”

“Can you get me a refill while you’re in there, sweetie?”

“You still have half a glass,” Hadley said, pointing to the half-filled martini glass.

“Oh well.” Terry tipped the glass back and finished it off. She smiled those big red made up lips and held up her glass.
