Chapter 13

Gemma woke to the smell of coffee, pancakes and bacon wafting up to her bedroom from the kitchen. She could hear the clattering of plates and cutlery, the sizzle of rashers and batter frying. Stretching her arms over her head, she grinned and leaped out of bed. Her belly rumbled with hunger and rippled with nerves. Good nerves. The kind where you wished time would fly by at sonic speed, but no matter how busy you kept yourself, the clock ticked by at tortoise pace. She glanced at the blue digital clock display on her nightstand. 8:03 a.m. Seven hours to go. Today, at three o’clock, in Richard’s office, she’d marry Kyle. Legally, on paper.

She only had to go to Nina’s Bridal at twelve-thirty to pick up her dress for Belize.

Come home and change.

Go get married.

Easy.

Gemma grabbed her cell phone off the nightstand and skipped down the stairs. She dashed across the tiled floor and jumped into Kyle’s waiting wide open arms. Wrapping her legs around his waist, she kissed him.

“Good morning.” His eyes glinted with saucy, sexy love, and he slipped his hands underneath the hem of her T-Shirt, his fingertips hot against her cool skin. “I have to admit; my Pearl Jam shirt does look better on you.”

Any shirt of his felt good to sleep in. This one was her favorite.

He kissed her lips, placed her on her feet, grabbed the flipper off the countertop and rushed over to the cooktop to flip a pancake. His gorgeous smile brightened his whole face. “Today’s the big day. You ready to sign your life away?”

“Yea-p.” She put her cell phone on the counter, grabbed the cup of steaming coffee waiting for her, and took a sip. “But getting fake married in Belize will still be better.”

“Yeah, I know.” Disappointment flashed in his eyes.

The wedding hadn’t quite gone to his plan.

But they had a plan. A good plan.

This was a change she could handle.

Gemma blew into her cup of hot coffee, taking in everything laid out on the granite countertop—berries, syrup, cutlery, napkins. She’d certainly nabbed a fine man. Her cooking was far from as sensational as Kyle’s. “Can I do anything to help?”

“Nope.” He placed a pancake onto the stack beside the cooktop. “Sit. Relax. Enjoy your coffee. These will be ready in a few minutes.”

“If you insist.” As she slid onto the breakfast bar stool, her cell phone vibrated. The caller ID lit with Kara’s name.

Gemma swiped the screen and put the call on loudspeaker. “Hey Kar, what’s up?”

“You wouldn’t believe what’s happened.” The stress in Kara’s voice spiked Gemma’s pulse. She took a steady breath and found her calm. She wouldn’t let things get to her today.

“Tom Ford wants to meet this morning, not on Monday.” Kara spoke so fast, Gemma had to concentrate. “If I don’t go, they’re unavailable for another month. You know how long I’ve been trying to get them to be a supplier for you guys. I have to go.”

Is that all? Gemma thought there’d been a catastrophe.
