Langley

“It’s really only for the sex, isn’t it?” Camille asked, lifting a cucumber from her eyelid.

I felt the stare of every single bridesmaid as we reclined on the soft lounges in the spa, waiting for our next treatment.

“At least it looks like you’ll have sun tomorrow for your wedding day,” I noted, looking out of the floor-to-ceiling windows that offered an impeccable mountain view.

“No, really. Come on, Langley. We’re all curious,” Camille cajoled, her tone sliding into that sweet maliciousness I knew all-too-well.

“About the weather?” I smiled at Camille, and reached for my phone on the small table between us.

She snatched it away as my fingers grazed the case.

“Camille!” I snapped.

“What? You wouldn’t deny me this little thing, would you, Langley?” She made her eyes go all soft as she dangled my phone.

“Deny you what? Last time I checked, you had everything you wanted.” My smile stayed far from my eyes, while my intent with my words hit the bullseye.

She dropped the pretense of being nice, and narrowed her eyes. “You know it can’t really go anywhere between you two, right?”

“Cammy, be nice,” Nessa chastised from Camille’s other side.

“But I am being nice,” she answered Nessa, while looking straight at me. “Would a good sister let you continue with this disastrous rebound? Let you think you had any kind of actual future with that guy?”

“Iker really isn’t any of your concern, now is he?” I leaned over for my phone and she ripped it away again. “God, Camille, stop acting like you’re five and give me my phone.”

“He’s nothing, Langley,” she continued, her eyes glacial. “He’s not in college. He has no manners to speak of, and doesn’t fit in our world. And let’s not even discuss all of those hideous tattoos he has. You two don’t belong together. He came from nothing and he’s going nowhere.”

I stood, uncaring that my robe stayed closed only at the mercy of the terry cloth tie. “And yet, that didn’t stop you from trying to hook up with him at the barbecue, did it?”

She hissed, her gaze darting over to where Virginia sat with Richard’s mom, oblivious to the storm brewing across the room. “He’s pretty. I’ll give you that. So, go ahead and have your fun, sis. Just don’t expect Daddy to sign over your trust fund with a leech like that standing by your side.”

I blinked. She doesn’t know. Of course she didn’t. My trust fund hadn’t been funded by my dad’s money. It had come from the wealthier of my parents—my mother. She thought I was waiting—like she was—for my twenty-fifth birthday.

I wrestled my cell phone out of her hand, a quick glance telling me that Iker had texted a few minutes ago, no doubt sparking this whole conversation.

“Cat got your tongue?” Camille stretched on her chaise.

“Nope, I just stopped caring about what you think about me…and my life…five years ago, so…” I shrugged, dropping the compliant bridesmaid/sister act. If she wasn’t pulling her punches, then neither was I.

“I think he’s hot,” Nessa said, flipping the page in her magazine.
