MIA MUST HAVE BEEN so tired of hearing about Jake but, for the first time since being a kid with a dumb crush, I was able to talk about him. He wasn’t a secret anymore, at least not in the way he had been.
Now, I could discuss him with my best friend, which was more than I’d been able to do before. I still couldn’t tell Mom just yet, and I definitely didn’t want to say anything to Brandon, but Jake didn’t leave my thoughts for a single second of the day.
I wanted to go and spend the night in his hotel room again, but we had too much to worry about with the wedding.
I woke up on Saturday morning with butterflies in my stomach, and it wasn’t just because my big brother was having a fairytale wedding on a white-sanded beach with waves lapping at the shore.
The dress I’d chosen to wear was cream and came down to my ankles. I wanted to kick myself now for choosing it. It was so old-fashioned and didn’t make me feel sexy at all. I wanted something else.
Something that would make Jake want to come over to me and tear it from my body. I’d never realized how amazing it felt to be sexual. Desirable. I’d had a taste, and now I wanted more.
Mia came to the rescue, once again; this time with a powder-blue strapless number that I was worried I wouldn’t fit into but, once she zipped up the back and I looked at my reflection in the mirror, I knew it was the one.
It was short, again, cutting across my thighs just above my knees. It made my tan look great. As Mia styled my hair for me, she perched her chin on my shoulder and looked at the two of us in the mirror.
“I hope you know this is what I was supposed to wear to the wedding,” she smiled.
“What! Mia, no. Why did you have me wear it then?” I asked, not too happy that she did that. “You didn’t say anything.”
“Nik, please. I’m not complaining. I just wanted to make sure you know exactly just how good a friend I am, that’s all,” she said. “Besides, it suits you far better. You look far more beautiful and sexy in it than I would’ve, and I want Jake to drool when he sees you today.”
I smiled and looked back at myself in the mirror. I wanted her to be right about Jake.

The rest of the day went south quickly. We ran around like headless chickens trying to find Clea’s special order flowers after the florist didn’t arrive at two thirty and wasn’t picking up her cell phone either. The resort manager tried to assist, but Clea insisted on us driving into town to find the florist.
We had no luck. That was until Mia spotted another florist, which quoted an exorbitant fee for the rush order, but Clea’s father seemed only too happy to pay. I couldn’t
