“I know.” I bit my lip.
I don’t know if I can do this.
I cleared my throat. “But if it doesn’t work out we can always remain friends.”
“We’re well past being friends and I won’t accept defeat when it comes to you. Something goes wrong, you tell me and I’ll fix it. Period.”
The limo parked.
Dawn opened the door before Chase could touch the handle.
She frowned. “Welcome back.”
Chase sighed and stepped out. He helped me up, which was good because my nerves bounced around in my stomach like a jackhammer.
“We’re going to show Jasmine around now,” Dawn said. “But I do want to talk to you later, Chase.”
“I’m showing her around,” he said.
“Since when?” Wendy raised her eyebrows. “We always show them.”
Them? It makes me sound like a visitor or guest.
“Since now, Wendy.” Chase tightened his grip on my hand. “I would like to ease Jasmine into our life.”
“Surely a trip to Paris did that,” Wendy said, quickly moving her hand. Some of the liquid spilled over the rim of her glass and dropped onto the pavement.
“That’s enough,” Chase said.
“Oh is it?” Wendy placed her hand on her hips.
Well, this is already starting off badly.
I leaned against the limo’s side.
Lucy flashed me a weak smile.
“Let’s just stick to tradition everybody.” Dawn walked my way and held out her hand. “Jasmine, welcome to our family.”
“Thank you.” I released Chase’s hand and shook hers.
“The Chanel Suite?” Wendy yelled. “You lying bastard.”
She flung the glass at him.
Chase and I ducked.
The glass shattered against the limo.
I jerked back so I wouldn’t get cut.
Lucy grabbed Wendy’s arms. “Calm down.”
“Son of a bitch,” Wendy spat the words out. “You said you couldn’t take me there because it cost too much and was a waste of money!”
“I’d already taken you to several places that year,” he barked back. “Jesus, Wendy! You almost hurt us. Calm down.”
“Wendy, come on. You can talk about this later.” Lucy dragged Wendy back.
