Chapter 14

Reese

Mom ended up calling Ann and asking her if she wanted to ride with us. I assumed that meant they were both going to grill me about what’s going on between Cooper and me. I was shocked, though, when neither one of them mentioned him, or our current situation. They talked my head off about the party they’re having tomorrow night, and that they’re glad Cooper and I could make it, but that was it.

The fact they didn’t mention it made me want to. Sounds crazy, right? It’s not even that I want to talk about him or us, because I don’t. I know how I feel about it. I know that even with the best of intentions, and wonder woman efforts, I wasn’t able to keep my heart from latching on to hope. The thing is, he’s still holding strong on his declaration that he’s in love with me. He’s touching me and kissing me, and in front of our parents, and that’s not who we are. Well, that’s not who we were. This is altogether different, and I don’t hate it.

Not even a little.

“So, I know that you don’t want to talk about it,” Mom says as we pull into the driveway. She glances at the passenger seat at Ann. “We both made up your rooms. We know you and Cooper are adults, and we don’t care where you sleep, our place or theirs. We’re just glad the two of you are home, and well, we’re glad you’re together.”

“Th-anks,” I say slowly. “Cooper will be staying with Ann and Trevor, and I’ll be staying with you and Dad. He sleeps in the spare room at my apartment,” I say again, even though I know they don’t believe me.

“Oh,” they both say at the same time. I’m in the back seat, but I can picture both of them with their mouths forming the perfect Os. These two have been best friends just as long as Cooper and me. In fact, so have our dads. Our families just hit it off, and the rest, as they say, is history. Well, it was until Cooper and I decided to complicate things. However, I must admit, our parents seem to be on board. I make a mental note to tell Cooper about this conversation.

Mom and I help Ann carry her items to her place and then unload ours. “How many people are coming to this party, anyway?” I ask.

“Well, we combined it again this year, so between the two houses, probably a hundred or so,” Mom says nonchalantly.

“Do you know that many people?” I ask.

She laughs. “Yes, and that’s combined. Your dad and Trevor are manning the grill over at their place, and Ann and I are doing the sides and desserts here. We plan to meet in the middle in the tent between the yards so everyone can gather together.”

“Sounds like a lot of work.”

“Parties usually are, but it’s fun to catch up with people. Life seems to keep too busy during the year.
