Chapter Eighteen

Lauren

I poked my head through the top of the dress, wiggled it over my hips and turned my back for Jules to zip me up. I was standing in the middle of her massively large master bedroom trying to find a dress to borrow for my dinner date with Aedyn. I pulled my hair aside and waited.

“So by the time the police got to the house last night, the douche bag reporter was gone?”

“Yeah. The snake slithered away before they got there. I hope I never see him again.” I made a face as I looked at my reflection in the full-length mirror.

“I’m afraid leeches like that are hard to get rid of.” Jules tugged at the skirt of the dress, trying to make it fall smoothly over my hips. The problem was, my hips were a bit rounder than Jules and no amount of adjusting was going to help.

Jules scrutinized dress number four so far, looking into the mirror over my shoulder from behind me and shook her head.

“Well…?

“Nope. That’s not going to do.” She unzipped the dress and started for the closet. “What you need is my fuck-me dress.”

“Your fuck me—what?” I raised a brow and slipped off dress ready for try number five.

I followed Jules to her large walk-in closet, where she pulled out a dress so skimpy that it barely had enough fabric to warrant a clothes hanger. She held it high in the air, beaming, like she’d just won a prize ribbon at the fair. “This, is a fuck-me dress.”

I was already wearing the lingerie set Aedyn had sent and from the looks of the dress, I didn’t think there was enough fabric to cover it all.

“Wow. It’s hot, all right. But I don’t know if I can wear that. The weather is cold enough now that I’m sure I’d turn into a Popsicle before the night was over. That is if I didn’t cause an accident walking down Main Street first.”

“Oh, you’d stop traffic in this, for sure.”

We both laughed and Jules returned the dress I later dubbed, “the ribbon” to the closet.

We both laughed and Jules returned it to the closet and searched for another one. With her voice slightly muffled in the closet she said, “By the way, did you ever ask Aedyn about that woman in the photograph?”

I chewed the inside of my mouth as Jules walked out of the closet with two more choices, a red one and a black one.

“Not yet. I wanted to ask him in person, like you said, not over the phone. And tonight’s dinner date will be the first time I’ve seen him for a while, like way too long of a while.” I emphasized the last part of my sentence with a dramatic flourish but Jules already knew how difficult it had been for me being stuck here in Granger. “I’m waiting for the right time. It’s not the kind of thing you just spring on somebody.”

“Exactly.”

“And I certainly don’t want to ruin our nice evening.
