Chapter Fourteen

What the hell was going on with her? Was she seriously jealous over Elliot’s ex-girlfriend? Who was married—happily, she presumed—to someone else? And Elliot sure as hell wasn’t acting like he was still in love with the woman.

Wait, Amelia needed to back this truck up and ask the most important question of all: why was she jealous at all?

Whatever his mother may believe, they weren’t dating. They’d shared one kiss—one spectacular kiss that probably ruined her for all men going forward—but that was it. They hadn’t even gotten to second base, for God’s sake.

Oh Lord, had she wanted to. She still did. If he pulled into the next rest stop and asked her to climb into his lap, she’d do it. She’d never had an inkling of a desire to have sex in a car, but she was willing to give it a try for Elliot.

What was wrong with her? She was jealous over a past relationship that had occurred well before they ever met and she was fantasizing about screwing the guy in the front seat of her car. Was this all her mind’s way of keeping her distracted from the very real fact that her life was going to fall apart in two days?

His phone must have vibrated again because his gaze dropped to it before pushing the button to turn on the speaker.

“Hey, Phil.”

“You’re on your way, right?” the voice on the phone said.

“Yeah. About another hour to go.”

“If you want to crash at my place tonight, you can.”

Elliot glanced at her before speaking. “Can’t. I have to work tomorrow.”

“I heard you started a new job. Congrats. You liking it?”

There was a distinct pause, just like when his other brother asked. She assumed this, too was a brother. Phil—must be Philip. Brother number two, if she recalled correctly.

“Yeah, I do,” he finally said, staring straight ahead at the road laid out before them.

“I also heard you’re dating someone. Or at least, that’s what Mom says.”

“Christ. Did she call every single one of you just to tell you that?”

His brother laughed. “Probably. I mean, this is our mother we’re talking about, and you are the last of the Mohicans.”

What did he mean by that?

“I am not dating anyone.” Another pause. “But I am bringing someone with me to the hospital.”

“Who?”

“Amelia.”

“Wait. That’s who Mom thinks you’re dating. Is this wise?”

“Didn’t have a choice.”

Amelia turned to stare out the side window. Great. She was a burden now. She’d felt that way since she banged up her knee, but Elliot hadn’t remotely implied as much, until now.

“What do you mean?” Phil asked.

“Amelia’s leg is messed up, and I’ve been taking care of her. I didn’t want to leave her alone. So either I didn’t go or she came with.”

“Well, I’m glad she came with. I hope you warned her about our mother. And Grandma Bryant.”

Amelia couldn’t decide if she was excited or frightened to meet the rest of Elliot’s family. They all sounded cheerful enough and obviously all got along, but these warnings were a tad concerning.
