Chapter 8

Marco looked at the messages on his cell phone. He’d asked his friends for help last night. According to their messages, everything was set up. They were all ready for him, so he just needed to get Chloe.

“Good morning, Marco!” Jocelyn called out as she walked down the hallway to the foyer where he’d been left to wait, her heels clicking against the hardwood floors. “We weren’t expecting you today.”

Marco shoved his hands into his pockets. “I was wondering if I could speak with Chloe,” he explained, irritated at being left in the foyer like a strange intruder. But he didn’t expect anything more from Jocelyn. She used every opportunity to show Marco that he wasn’t worthy of being a member of their family. Even now, she’d stopped several feet away from him, as if she might get cooties if she came too close.

“I’m afraid that Chloe left earlier this morning. Which was very naughty of her since I have some things for her to decide on regarding the wedding.” She grinned slyly. “Just a few more days!”

Marco gritted his teeth. “Do you know where Chloe is?”

“I have no…”

“I’m here!” Chloe announced, rushing down the hallway, her hands carrying several bags from a store that Marco didn’t recognize. “What’s up?” she asked, moving around Jocelyn so that she could rush over and…stopped with a blush only a foot away from him.

Marco glanced at Jocelyn, catching her irritation and disapproval before bringing his eyes back to Chloe.

“I have something I need to show you,” he told her. “Do you have time?”

“I do!” she replied, sounding as if she were out of breath. “Just let me put these upstairs.”

“No need. Just bring them,” he said, taking her hand and tugging her out of the house. He didn’t trust Jocelyn at all. He’d already spied a crystal vase that he knew Angela had sent as a wedding gift. It was on a shelf in Jocelyn’s living room, not sitting with the other presents. He wondered how many other gifts she had stolen, but didn’t have time to dwell on that now. He needed Chloe for the afternoon. And evening, if he could manage it.

Chloe started to say something, but Marco wasn’t slowing down. He suspected that today would be significantly more important than Saturday and he wanted to make today special.

“What color are the bridesmaids dresses this Saturday?” he asked as he took her packages and tossed them into the trunk of his Mercedes.

“Um…they are…uh…sage green, I believe.”

“Green?” he asked, then looked down at her, putting his hands on her waist as he backed her up against the car. “I thought you wanted yellow dresses.”

She laughed, but the sound came out a bit self-conscious. She wasn’t fighting him though.

“I did, but mother said that yellow was for spring weddings. Sage green was more appropriate for a fall wedding.”

“And what flavor is the cake?”

Her eyes dropped, looking at his mouth and his body reacted when she licked her lips. “I think it’s…uh…I don’t know.
