“And Jace is the one? You’re sure, right? It’s not too late to call it off.”
“Yes, it is too late. Jace proposed. I accepted and I’m not letting him wiggle out of it.” She stared lovingly at her diamond ring. It was practically the size of a golf ball.
“Is he trying to wiggle out of it?” Bastien growled, scaring the valet into dropping his keys.
“No. Of course not. Although, he doesn’t answer his phone when he’s avoiding conflict either. You two are so much alike in that area.” She tugged on a knit hat and gloves that were in her coat pocket. At least it had stopped snowing. New York was getting snow early this year, and he wasn’t a fan.
“Well, I guess that’s something.” The valet brought Bastien’s car around and he and Kitty got inside. “Where do you want to go to lunch?”
“How about the Imperial Palace?” she asked.
Chinese sounded good. As they drove through the city, Bastien wanted to call Mikelina again. There was something about her that drew him in. He liked their email chats. She was bright and sexy, like he imagined South Beach would be.
“Reach into the glove compartment. I printed out the itinerary for the bachelor party.”
“Who writes up a schedule for fun? Oh wait, you.” Kitty unfolded the paper and read it. “You forgot to mark down the designated bathroom times. But I did see that you’ve allotted for eight hours of sleep each night.” She rolled her eyes at him.
“I had some help with the schedule. The vacation resort assigns a concierge. Mikelina and I have been putting this together for almost two months.”
“Mikelina, huh? Is she ready to throw you in the ocean?”
“No. She’s very professional. I’m looking forward to meeting her.”
“Is she pretty?”
“How would I know?”
“You’ve been chatting her up for two months and you haven’t seen her Facebook profile?”
“I don’t even know her last name,” he said.
“I worry about you sometimes.” Kitty shook her head. “Promise me that if you like this girl, you’ll ask her out.”
“She’s my employee.”
“No, she’s not. She’s an employee of the company who is renting you the house, and who you pretty much at least owe dinner to for putting up with this monster schedule. I hope you’re not going to be too disappointed if you don’t get to everything.”
“We’ll get to everything,” he said. “Why? Do you see something on there that Jace wouldn’t like?”
“No, it’s perfect. I wish I was going instead of being stuck here,” she grumbled.
“You’re going skiing next week,” he reminded her.
“I’m sick of winter. I want to lie on a beach, not toast marshmallows in front of a fire while I thaw out.” Flipping down the sun visor, Kitty glared at her reflection.
Bastien didn’t know why she was scowling. She looked the same to him, a pretty girl with wide green eyes who was too innocent for her own good.
“Do you want me to talk to your bridesmaids? Tell them to nix Vail and go for Tahiti instead?”
“If I go to Tahiti, I’m not coming back,” she muttered.
He gripped the steering wheel hard. “It’s not too late to change your mind.”
“I wish I had your eyelashes. It’s not fair that you have those thick and long lashes and I have to use half a bottle of mascara.”
“You didn’t answer the question,” he said, giving a quick glance in the rearview mirror. Eyelashes? He blinked but didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.
“Everything’s booked.”
