THE NEXT DAY

Kelly whispered with her sister. “I don’t want to do this, Roxy. There has to be another way.”

Roxy rubbed her back. “It’s not going to be that bad. I mean, look at this condo! It’ll just be the penthouse honeymoon suite, except for four weeks instead of one.”

“Yeah, and no sex.”

I tried to act like I didn’t hear them talking, but it was hard. Hauling boxes in with Clint while he gave me side glances and held back his snickers wasn’t helping much. And now, to add the cherry on top of an already screwed-up cake, one of my best friends was angry with me.

For good reason, too.

“Hey, come on. Cut him some slack. He did everything right, and it still bit him in the ass. Give him some room,” Clint said.

Roxy scoffed. “Well, next time? Tell him not to reroute our plans without our knowledge, and we’d be fine.”

Clint lowered his voice. “He was just trying to do what was right for the your sister.”

Roxy bucked up to him. “And Kelly can take care of herself. You know, since she’s a grown-ass woman with her own business.”

I walked past my brother, bickering with Roxy, and headed to the guest bedroom. Where Kelly insisted on staying. I mean, I couldn't blame her. But, part of me was disappointed that I wouldn't be waking up to her every morning. Man, what a rush that had been. What a wonderful memory that was for me.

“Just drop it,” Kelly said flatly.

I placed the box on top of the dresser before backing towards the doorway.

“Do you need anything? Are you hungry? Or thirsty?” I asked.

“If I am, I know where your kitchen is now.”

I nodded slowly. “Would you like some takeout for tonight? You know, to take it easy?”

“What I’d like is for you to leave me alone. Thanks.”

I turned to walk out of the room and found Clint behind me, pursing his lips. I glared at him before I charged back down the hallway, ready to remove myself from the situation completely. Maybe Kelly could stay here, and I’d take a vacation somewhere. We could forge and lie on the weekly reports and get out of the mess without ever having to see one another.

Then again, if we’re caught, we’re in bigger trouble.

“You got anything else!?” Roxy yelled.

Clint grunted. “Nope. I got the last one. She’s all emptied out.”

Roxy sighed. “Awww, look at this room. It’s so big. And roomy!”

“That’s usually what a room is, yes,” Kelly hissed.

“But, I mean, look at it. The flowers he set out for you. The decorative towels. The desk! That desk is new. I know new furniture when I spot it. He pulled all of this together for you at the last minute. Isn’t that nice?”

Clint turned around and looked at me, chuckling as I rolled my eyes.

“I don’t give a shit what he did. I just want to get through these next four weeks,” Kelly said.

Roxy tried to console her. “Girl, just try to look at the bright side.
