Chapter 7

Piper needed a nap.

And a margarita.

Those ladies could come back and give her a full body massage, too. She’d even get naked in front of the whole damn house if she had to.

The distance they’d kayaked hadn’t been that far, even if you included crossing the lake to get back to Davidson’s house, but the exertion of everything kicked her ass just the same.

It had to be even worse for Trevor, who had to do all the rowing and had to accept a loss on top of it.

He’d had a pinched look on his face since rowing onto the shore, which left Piper feeling like she’d let him down. He was the one who rolled them, but they were a team, and if he lost, they lost.

She opted to give him some space that afternoon after they got back. She showered, got dressed, and stepped out, joining Christina and Deanne on the deck where they sat on Adirondack chairs drinking lemonade.

“Where did the guys get off to?” Piper asked, taking a seat next to Deanne.

“They’re down there by the water with Davidson. He started talking about fishing and they all wondered down with him.” Deanne handed her a glass of lemonade.

“Okay, so where’s, she who shall not be named?” Piper said with a raised brow, taking a sip of her drink.

“Maybe Steve drowned her in the lake. God knows I would,” Christina muttered.

“What’s up with her anyway?” Deanne asked.

“Maybe her thong is too tight,” Christina said.

“She had a thing with Trevor once,” Piper said.

Christina and Deanne both swung shocked looks at her.

“No way!” Deanne said.

“Yeah, he told me yesterday.”

“He waited until yesterday to tell you? Seriously? I would have filleted Mike if he waited until we got here to tell me something like that,” Christina said.

“What Christina said,” Deanne said raising her glass.

“I’m not worried about Trevor. It was in the past,” Piper said. Restless energy forced her out of her chair.

They weren’t a real couple, but she’d be lying to herself if she didn’t acknowledge that a streak of jealousy coursed through her every time she thought about the fact that that wretched woman had her hands on him, among her other body parts.

And why wouldn’t she? Men did it. Rachel had probably gotten her training getting all things desired young by riding a wave of lemmings as the most popular, most likely to succeed prom queen and teenage minion puppet master.

Cut from the same cloth as all the vicious twits she’d had the unfortunate experience of knowing in high school.

Of course, Piper had to consider what version of Trevor Rachel got. Maybe Piper needed to be grateful.

“You’ve got a lot more to offer than she does anyway. You’re prettier and of course, it’s nice that one doesn’t need to carry holy water, a crucifix, and garlic around you, to boot.”

“Now that right there is a vote of confidence,” Piper said with grin.

“I hope no matter how this all turns out, you and Trevor…” she turned to Christina, “And you and Mike will come to the wedding.
