Seventeen

Freya stared at Nico's incoming call.

She pressed ignore. Again.

"And this is the courtyard." Dakota and turned to Freya and smiled widely. "We have a lot of spring and summer weddings here."

Freya didn't look up from the screen. "It's really pretty."

"Are you okay?" Dakota asked.

Freya shoved the phone into her purse. "Yeah, sorry."

Dakota frowned. "Maybe you should hear Nico out."

"I'm not ready yet. Show me the rest of the place. I really do love it so far." Freya forced a smile

"Maybe we should do this later, when you're feeling better."

"Honestly, I want to see it."

Freya followed Dakota through the inside of The Chateau—an elegant, modern building that was surely every bride's dream. The large wedding hall had rows of fancy white chairs all facing the platform. Brightly colored flowers decorated the room.

Conversation drifted their way. Dakota turned around. A group of people were headed their way, all talking excitedly.

Dakota turned back to Freya. "Looks like today's bridal party is here a little early. I'll show you the rest later. When I get home—should be around four—we'll get everything ready for the party."

Freya glanced around the room. "Won't you be exhausted after a wedding?"

Her eyes lit up. "I love it. And I can't wait for the party tonight."

"I'll see what I can get done while you're here, though."

"Don't worry about it. Just relax. This party's going to be awesome, and I want our guest of honor to be rested." Dakota embraced Freya. "Call Nico and work it out before the party. Then you can be free to enjoy yourself."

"We'll see."

"Do it." Dakota turned to the group of people as they entered the room. "It's so great to see you. As you can probably tell, my staff is still getting everything set up. Let me show you to the bridal dressing room…" She guided them to another room.

Freya was exhausted after tossing and turning all night. Even after she finally managed to fall asleep, every little noise woke her—the heater kicking on, a car starting outside, and other sounds she couldn't place.

She climbed into Dakota's car and started the engine, grateful to her sister for letting her use the car. She really needed to get one of her own, but that would have to wait until after the party that night.

Tears stung at her eyes. Freya pulled into the road and wiped her eyes, angry with herself for being so hurt over seeing Nico with that girl. It wasn't like they were exclusive. He had the right to see anyone he wanted. But that didn't stop the hurt. Why had she let everyone convince her that they were a couple? It was stupid. She and Nico hadn't even talked about it.

Of course he would see other people. He was hot, had an influential job, and he didn't owe her anything. Just because they'd had good conversations didn't mean she owned him.

She was too humiliated to take his calls. Embarrassed that she'd gotten her hopes up about them being a couple. He was probably
