CHAPTER FIVE: NATALEE

"He can't be that bad. He runs a non profit that teaches underprivileged kids how to code."

I almost snapped my pencil in half, but I settled for pausing on my sketch pad. The lead was laser focused on the second tier of an upcoming Game of Thrones themed cake I was working on. I'd literally squealed at the opportunity to channel all the drama and intrigue of Westeros in buttercream and chocolate. I had no idea that the Mitchell wedding would devolve into a clusterfuck that even the Lannisters would balk at.

Even though Tamara had been right there with me when Jason Cox had unceremoniously announced that the Mitchell's were expecting, which was swiftly followed by Denise hurling her drink in his smug face, she was still trying to sell me on giving the jerk a second chance. I had a feeling it was less about my best interests and more about living vicariously through me since she'd been finding shirtless pictures of him lounging in exotic locales like Greece and Japan ever since.

"And according to this shot snagged by TMZ, he is definitely packing some major heat in the dick department."

She was clearly ignoring my attempts at ignoring her. She hopped up from her station at the end of our work table and sauntered over, all teeth. I followed her quick commute and refused to look at the phone she was holding out.

"Do you have amnesia?" I countered. She didn't budge, so I jutted out my pencil, eraser first at her phone. Trying to not think about the fact that whatever photo they'd snapped was only telling half the story because I knew exactly what was going on down south. "The owner of that penis is the same man who decided it was a good idea to tell everyone the bride was knocked up during his toast."

Tamara's face fell, like a child who'd just been told that Santa Claus wasn’t real. "I know, but-"

"Do you even remember the look on Denise's mother's face? On her father's?"

Tamara slowly lowered her arm, a shudder rattling her petite frame. "Her mom was in complete and utter shock. And her dad?" She bulged her baby blues from their sockets, much like the father of the bride had done...right before he lunged towards Jason with murder in his eyes.

It looked like my friend was finally getting the picture and calling off her attempts at playing matchmaker, but I wasn't letting her off the hook that easy.

"And after what I told you about New Year's-" I dropped the pencil and raked both hands through my hair, tugging at the strands because I couldn't actually choke her, even if she deserved it sometimes. "How could you possibly think that having him in my life right now is a good idea?"

She held up both hands in surrender. “Okay, boss lady! My bad."

I glared at her for a good minute before I scooted from my seat and headed over to our Nespresso machine for my caffeine fix.
