CHAPTER TWENTY

Mia

Whomever was banging around in my kitchen would soon be dead. Of course, I knew good and well it was my sister Shelby. There was no way I could walk out of her engagement party last night with Josh and not get interrogated this morning but I’d sort of thought she might sleep in. One glance at my phone told me that it was seven-thirty in the morning and I hadn’t fallen asleep until four. Three and a half hours of rest wasn’t going to do much for mood nor my appearance.

There were no messages from Josh either. That wasn’t going to help.

Dragging on a robe, I padded on bare feet from the bedroom to the kitchen where my sister was making coffee as loudly as she possibly could. A passive-aggressive alarm clock dressed in yoga pants and a sweatshirt.

“If you break my coffeemaker you’re buying me a new one.”

Shelby jumped and placed a hand on her chest. “You scared me to death.”

“I scared you? You’ve got nerve. You broke into my house. I’m the one that should be calling 911.”

“I have a key to your house. It’s hardly breaking in.”

“That’s for emergencies.”

“Is there any bigger emergency than you leaving with Josh last night? I heard he decked Trent. What in the hell happened? I only heard Trent’s side and might I say he sounded a little shady. Brad had to talk him out of calling the police and pressing charges.”

I could only imagine the story the little weasel told Brad and Shelby. One where he was the poor put upon victim and Josh was the big bad wolf. Screw him.

“He deserved it. In fact, he’s lucky I didn’t do it myself because I was getting ready to smack him with my high heel.” Shelby’s eyes were round as she pulled down two cups from my cabinet. “Let’s just say he thought I owed him something for pretending to be my boyfriend. Charming friends your fiancé has. In no way does he deserve the title of best man, and I won’t be doing anything with him at your wedding other than keeping my distance. What a tool.”

She poured two cups and I accepted mine gratefully, adding cream and sugar before taking an experimental taste.

Ahhh. There was nothing like that first sip of the day. I could almost feel the caffeine start to whiz through my veins like a racecar at Le Mans.

“I’ll talk to Brad about Trent. I’m sure he has no idea his friend is like that with women.”

Plopping down on the couch, I set my coffee on the end table. “I bet he knows, he just probably doesn’t think it’s a big deal. Boys will be boys and all that. I’ll bet you five dollars that Brad defends his friend and says that I blew this entire situation out of proportion.”

Shelby came to sit next to me, tucking her legs underneath her and leaning back on a large cushion.

“Brad would never do that.”

I held out my hand. “So it’s a bet?”

Narrowing her eyes, she took my hand and shook it.
