Tower of Friends
Lynn
I sitin the grass with the sun beaming down on my face. The entire group is here atthe Champ de Marsas we hang out before the Eiffel Tower.
The guys have been tossing frisbees and a football off and on. At the moment, they’re playing hacky sack after someone pulled a beanbag from somewhere. The girls have been sitting around talking among themselves.
I tuned them out some time ago, tired of hearing Corinne brag about nursing school. I get it, she got into a rigorous program and she’s doing well, but Lord, you would think she was just elected president of the United States.
“Lynn, are you excited about heading to New York?” Elise asks, pulling my attention away from a shirtless Trevor.
I reluctantly pull my eyes away from the bead of sweat I was tracking down his muscular back. Elise gives me a pointedlook as if pleading for me to save them from Corinne’s insistent babbling and ranting.
I stifle a laugh and tune back in. “Yeah, I guess I am. However, I just got news Nashville might be calling.”
“You’re so lucky. I thought I was envious of Cody. He makes New York and going to Columbia sound so awesome.”
I frown. Why didn’t I realize Cody lived in New York during the school semesters. He’s been going to Columbia University in New York for the last two years.
“I thought about going to college in New York,” Corinne says.
I glance at her and have to fight not to roll my eyes. Brooke has a big heart. I can’t for the life of me understand what made her become friends with Corinne. She’s always given me mean-girl vibes.
“Right,” Maggie says before taking a sip of her water.
“You know, Trev was seeing my cousin from freshman year until recently,” Corinne says with a sugary-sweet smile on her face.
Before I can react or say a word to her, Trevor comes over and pushes a hand in my hair, tilting my head back. He takes my lips in a deep kiss before breaking it and looking deep into my eyes.
“Hey, darlin’,” he croons and winks at me as I stare at him breathlessly.
“Hey,” I say as my cheeks heat.
“I love you,” he murmurs and kisses my nose.
I sit stuck as he releases me and jogs off to return to his game with the guys. Shaking my head to clear it, I then turn to look at Corinne and lift a brow. I could give two cows’ nuts about her cousin.
He’s mine now. It’s not like I don’t know he dated before me. I don’t even bother to get in my feelings.
“They dated off and on,” Maggie bites out. “I don’t think he was ever serious about her.”
“I’m just saying?—”
“Just saying what? Whatever you feel you need to say, for the love of God, keep it to yourself, please. This isn’t the time or place.”
“I’m going to the tower. Annie, you coming?”
“I guess,” Annie says with a frown.
I try not to giggle as Corinne stomps off.
“Good riddance,” Elise huffs. “She was getting on my damn nerves.”
“You and me both,” Maggie says.
“I tuned her out a long time ago.”
“That’s because you can’t stop staring at your man. You two are so cute.”
