Iâm a mess, and I just want to go home. Drew wasnât supposed to kiss me. He wasnât supposed toâ¦
No, I canât even let myself go there. It was too good, and even though I won this round tonight, I still feel like I lost somehow. Is this how people feel when they go on a game show and pass on the hundred thousand dollars to see whatâs in the box instead? DONâT OPEN THE BOX, PEOPLE! Thereâs nothing in that stupid box but unwanted feelings.
After my supreme prank and Drewâs very un-supreme kiss (just let me have this one), we had to endure an entire dinner as well as a silent auction together, both stewing in our own versions of anger but keeping smiles plastered across our faces. Between Susan and the Greens, I felt as if we were on a celebrity talk show. No one has ever been more interested in a relationship than those three. Drew and I were pulling fake dating stories out of thin air, smiling and chuckling when it was warranted, but all evening I could feel the silent pressure of his hand against my shoulder, reminding me that he hadnât forgotten, that we have the mother of all fights on the horizon.
My retaliation completely worked, so why does the thought of Drew angry make me want to run out and buy an entire frozen section of ice cream just to make him smile at me again?
Finally, someone comes over a speaker and announces that the dance floor is open. Oh great, now we have to do the electric slide with these bad attitudes? I canât spend any more time next to Drew and his handsome face, and dark blue eyes, and telepathic anger. Oh, but wait! I drove here! I can save myself!
Discretely, I gather my purse and rise out of my chair, hoping to slip past Drew while heâs talking to Richard without him noticing. But of course, he does notice, because he notices every movement I make, and as soon as I stand, his hand catches mine. The smirk he tosses up at me turns my stomach inside out.
âNot leaving without me, are you, buttercup?â
Now weâre two parents in the middle of an ugly fight but not wanting to upset the kids. âI didnât want to interrupt you two, honey bear,â I say, turning my smile to Richard and then back to Drew. âYou stay and enjoy yourself! Iâll just see you at home, okay?â I flash him my pearly whites. CHEESE! Everything is fine, random onlookers!
The corners of Drewâs eyes crinkle. âIâm not going to let my pregnant fiancée walk to her car all alone after dark. Come on, gumdrop, Iâll walk with you.â Drew is acting so over the top. His sugary sweet demeanor is prickling all over my skin like I rolled in a pile of sandburs.
Drew stands up, and I wish I didnât find him even more attractive, but after that incredible kiss, I do. He looks stronger somehow.
