CHAPTER FIFTEEN

When the ceremony was over, Skylar and the rest of his family took pictures with the bride and groom. That left Melanie alone to mingle. She wasn't pleased with being left alone, but she'd manage. A group of women she'd met earlier stood sipping wine and chatting. Melanie joined them while they waited.

She scanned the area looking for Candace. She didn't see her at first, but spotted her flirting with a couple of men. She brushed her breasts against one man's arm. The other ogled them like he wanted it to be him. Melanie wasn't sure that Candace was as stuck on Skylar as he thought. The way she acted, it didn't seem like she was concerned with his whereabouts.

Another glass of wine later, and several conversations about single life and the latest celebrity gossip, Skylar headed her way. Finally, she thought. The women in the group were nice, but she'd been bored out of her mind. Skylar was a few feet from her when Candace came out of nowhere tugging on his arm.

When he realized it was Candace, Melanie saw him stiffen. He gave Melanie a pleading look. She downed the rest of her drink and excused herself from the group. By the time she reached Skylar, Candace had latched onto him for dear life. Skylar reached for her to pull her to his side.

"Hey Mel, I came to find you so we could get seated for dinner."

Candace looked at Mel like she wanted her to disappear. Before Melanie had a chance to respond, Candace raised her hand and turned Skylar's face to her.

Oh no-the-hell she didn't.

No, she wasn't there as a love interest of Skylar's, but still. That was rude. She was his date and, for all Candace knew, they were getting it on every night.

"Sky," Candace said with her lips in a pout, "I was thinking we could sit together."

Oh, puh-lease. Did this pouty face and whiney voice actually work on people? God help the idiot who fell for her tactics. It took everything in Melanie to keep from rolling her eyes.

"Sorry, Candace. Melanie is my date. I'm going to be sitting with her and the rest of my family."

Melanie saw the innocent, pouty look drop from Candace's face for a split second before she plastered on a fake smile.

"Well, save me a dance then, handsome."

Skylar just grunted in response while Candace made her way toward the tent.

The dinner went by rather quickly. The wedding party and some of the family made a toast to the happy couple. They cut the cake, did the first dance, and then the rest of the guests started to let loose on the dance floor. There was an open bar, and Melanie partook in the spirits.

Melanie felt pretty good and decided she needed to hit the dance floor. She tugged on Skylar's arm trying to hoist him up.

"Come on, Sky, let's go shake a tail feather."

Skylar groaned, "Do I have to?"

"Yes, you have to. You brought me here. The least you can do is dance with me.
