Chapter 15

Bri sat at an outdoor table, eating lunch with Stephanie and Stacie, and enjoying some much needed girl time. The late-September weather was starting to turn cooler, and there wouldn’t be many more days that they’d be able sit outside. Fall was definitely on its way.

Suddenly, the chair next to her scraped back, and Matt slid in, dropping his lunch on the table.

“Hello! Mind if I join you, ladies?” He flashed them all a dazzling smile.

“Not at all,” Bri quipped. “Please, have a seat.” She motioned to the chair he was already sitting in. “It’s not like you are interrupting us, or anything.” She raised an eyebrow at him.

“Oh, Bri, I’ve missed your spunk,” he teased her as he tore into his lunch. “So what’s new with you guys?” He addressed the whole table, but Bri noticed that Matt’s eyes kept straying back to Stacie.

“Not much, we were just trying to think of something fun to do this weekend,” Stephanie replied. “Oh, congrats on starting this season. That’s awesome,” she smiled at him.

“Thanks. I’m excited. Two years of sitting on the bench gets old really fast. So, is this a girls only thing you’re planning this weekend?” he asked probingly.

“No, I’m sure Bri will bring Cole, and Steph will bring one of her many boy-toys, and I’ll be lucky enough to be the fifth wheel.” Stacie smiled bitterly, but Matt perked up.

“Wait, I thought you were dating what’s-his-name? Did something happen?” The eagerness on Matt’s face almost made Bri laugh. She remembered him and Stacie hitting it off over spring break, but Stacie had been dating someone then. Now that she was single…

“Yeah, he and I decided to part ways when I tried to run him over with Bri’s Jeep.”

“You tried to run him over?” Matt couldn’t hide his smile.

“With my Jeep?” Bri replied incredulously. Stacie had managed to leave out that tiny detail earlier.

“I caught him cheating on me,” Stacie shrugged. “What was I supposed to do?”

“Mow him down, back up, and run over him again,” Matt nodded.

“In someone else’s car. Remind me never to let you borrow it again. I don’t need dead boyfriend bits all over my baby,” Bri eyed Stacie sternly.

“Yeah, well that won’t be happening again anytime soon. I’m taking a break from lying, cheating assholes for a while,” Stacie stabbed at her salad viciously.

Matt’s face visibly fell, and Bri got a devious idea. What better way to pay Stacie back for almost committing homicide in Bri’s Jeep than to set her up with Matt. Not that being set up with Matt was a punishment. Bri loved Matt, in a friendly, annoying-older-brother kind of way, and had long thought that he just needed the right girl to make him denounce his philandering ways. He was a great guy and deserved to find happiness, like she and Cole had. She just wanted everyone to be as happy as they were.

Oh crap. She’d officially become Layla. She’d found true love, and was now plotting to set up all of her friends in an attempt to help them find true love, too.
