CHAPTER 18

ASHLEY

“I can’t believe we are doing this.” I huffed and checked my makeup in the mirror on the back of the sun visor in Whitney’s car.

“You have to admit that Brooklyn is acting so weird lately,” Whitney said. “Now she’s getting creepy threats left on her car and then sneaking off to meet up with Grayson Huntley?” Whitney shook her head. “She needs us looking out for her.”

“Except that’s not what we are doing. We are literally stalking her.” I gestured to the coffee shop across the street. “They have been in there for almost an hour. How long are you planning to have us sit in your car waiting for them to leave?”

“They can’t stay in there forever. Brooklyn said she has to work tonight, remember?”

“She might’ve lied to us,” I pointed out. “I think she’s been doing that a lot lately. I mean, she lied to us when we left the mall so she could go home. Does this look like her home?”

Whitney ignored me as she stared through the coffee shop window. “They’re getting up! Stay low in your seat.”

“She’s going to recognize your car, Whit.” Not only was her car ridiculously fancy, but she also had an annoying vanity license plate with her name on it.

“Here they come.” Whitney pushed the sunglasses down from the top of her head onto her nose as if they would provide the only cover she would need. “B isn’t even looking around. She’s too focused on her new boyfriend.”

That was true. Brooklyn and Grayson were so busy looking at one another that neither of them even glanced anywhere near where Whitney had parked. “It looks like he’s following her to her car.” I watched as Grayson put a hand on Brooklyn’s lower back as they walked down the sidewalk. “Whit, what if this was just a date? They met at the bookstore and then got some coffee. Maybe B wasn’t completely honest about where she was going, but she probably knew how we would react if she’d told us she was meeting up with Grayson.”

“I don’t think this is a date. They were on their phones most of the time they were in the coffee shop. It looked like Grayson was texting someone, probably another girl. If my date did that, I wouldn’t stick around to let him walk me to my car.”

I pointed to where they were standing next to Brooklyn’s car. Grayson had just pulled a book from the shopping bag he’d been carrying since the bookstore. He handed the book to Brooklyn and she smiled happily before leaning in to kiss his cheek.

“And that’s the girl who just tried to convince us she doesn’t have a thing for Grayson Huntley,” Whitney muttered. She frowned as she snatched a lip gloss from her center console and then carefully applied it to her still-glossy lips. “I guess you were right. We just wasted our afternoon following B on her lame date.”

“Maybe it wasn’t what you thought it was going to be, but it’s still good gossip,” I said as I pulled up the camera app on my phone.
