It’s one of the reasons I’m happy Trevor won’t allow me to rush things. He’s right. We haven’t had sex yet, but he’s found a way to blow my mind every day since the night of our date.
The things he does with those hands. I learn something new each time. He’s so patient with me. I love that.
“You are totally glowing,” Maggie gushes as we stand at the bar, waiting for our drinks.
“Am I?”
“Hell yeah, honey,” Elise says.
“Are you two having sex? You totally look like he’s giving you some good old Texas loving,” Maggie whispers.
“If we were, I sure wouldn’t tell. That’s between us.”
“Oh, come on. Let me live through you,please.”
I laugh and shake my head. “Look at how he watches you. You’re totally letting him in those panties,” Elise says.
“A lady never shares her business.”
“I love you guys together. You both look so happy. He’s crazy about you.”
“I love me some him,” I sigh.
Elise smiles at me and reaches to tuck a few braids behind my ear. I search her pretty brown face. She and Brooke were the closest.
“You’re so pretty. You look so much like her. She was my best friend, like my sister. You have no idea how much your sister loved you. You were her everything.
“I promise I’ll always be here for you. I’m not a good enough person to replace her, but I’m here anytime you need me.”
“Aw, Elise, thanks. That means a lot.”
“Well, you have two new sisters now. You’re stuck with me too, honey,” Maggie says.
I fight to hold back the tears that are burning the backs of my eyes. They have always been kind to me, but this means more than I can express.
“Thanks, guys,” I choke out.
They pull me into a group hug and squeeze me tightly. My heart swells because I know it’s genuine. These are Pook’s people; they know all her secrets.
Our drinks come and we make our way back to our table. I take my seat next to Trevor and lean into his heat. He wraps an arm around my shoulders and kisses the top of my head.
“Still not ready to tell me why you had me bring my guitar?” I say as I look up at him.
He gives me that handsome, mischievous smile and winks at me. “You’ll find out soon enough. Hold tight.”
I poke my tongue out at him. Him and his secrets. He’s been up to something all vacation.
“Good evening, everyone. It’s time for our open mic session. I hope you signed up for your spots,” a lanky guy steps up on stage and says.
I look at Trev and gasp. “No, you didn’t,” I breathe.
“You said you wanted to try your new songs out. I asked around and found out about this place. I figured, why not?” he says and shrugs.
“You’re amazing, you know that, right?” I say as I smile at him.
“I’m glad you think so because you’re up first. I wanted to get here to sign you up as soon as I could.”
I lean in and kiss his lips. He grasps my face and deepens the kiss. I only pull away as my name is called to go up on stage.
