CHAPTER 17

EMERSON

“I don’t care how much you love Taylor Swift. If you request one more damn song, I’m gonna punch you in the ovary!” If I had to hear her voice once more, I was going to shoot someone.

“Oh, come on!” Savannah whined. “I haven’t even heard “I Knew You Were Trouble” yet!”

“And you won’t if you’re smart. The only thing worse than listening to her is listening to you sing along to every one of her songs. It’s like two cats in heat being shoved in a sack, drowned, pulled out and then run over.” I wasn’t intentionally trying to hurt Savannah’s feelings; she really was that awful.

“Geez, Emmy, that’s not hurtful at all.”

Trevor cut in then. “Have you heard yourself sing, cher? You’re hot and all, but damn! It’s… I can’t even… It’s just... so bad.” The fact that he couldn’t even form a coherent sentence to describe the level of awful that was Savannah’s singing was proof enough.

Everyone at the table was laughing as Savannah grumbled about how much we all sucked. The night had been amazing so far. I could tell that Brett wasn’t one hundred percent on board with Luke being back in the fold, but he was still able to act somewhat pleasant. Even though all of the guys refused to dance, everyone was enjoying themselves. When “I’m Sexy and I Know It” came over the speakers, Stacia and Lizzy both squealed and pulled me and Savannah out onto the dance floor.

I was having so much fun there was no way I was going to let the pain caused by my four-inch platform heels keep me down, even if I wouldn’t be able to walk for a couple of days.

When I spun around, the sight in front of me nearly had me toppling off of those heels. Standing next to Luke was one of the prettiest women I’d ever seen. Her shiny blonde hair hung down her back in waves that I couldn’t have pulled off with all the product in the world. The tiny black dress she was wearing would have looked trashy on someone else—say, me—but on her, it looked fantastic. Even I was mesmerized by her killer legs. How did a person have legs that damn long? I hated the bitch. I was a hot, sweaty mess from dancing and could barely walk in my ridiculous shoes, and she looked like a freaking rock star.

Luke let out a bark of laughter at something she whispered in his ear and my chest constricted at the sound. I hated the jealousy I felt at seeing him with another woman. Why couldn’t I just get over him? My bright mood deteriorated and when I turned back, I caught Savannah’s gaze. Her brows furrowed when she saw the distress written all over my face. Her eyes travelled over to where I was looking and the furrow disappeared and was quickly replaced with a look of understanding.

She pointed over to the bar and I didn’t hesitate. I pushed my way through the crowded dance floor and plopped down on one of the vacant stools.
