Wait!
I replied, but he left it on Read.
Knowing it would be a bad idea to text Elizabeth in case anyone was hanging over her shoulder, I huffed. I didn’t want to throw her under the bus. I laid my head back, watching the ocean as I continued listening to music. One of them would text me after, for sure. Elizabeth, to let me know what to say at her funeral. James to let me know he’d killed Vincenzo.
Minutes turned into what felt like an eternity. I was getting worried. Just as I was ready to go inside, a text came through from Elizabeth.
Omg, my dad just found out about Vinny and me which I guess means I have so much MORE to tell you
Yeahhh you do but already knew something was going on anyway!
What are you doing now?
Are you okay???
They’re talking
So I’m kinda laying in the sun shocked he took it well
I mean for my dad anyway which makes me wonder what’s going on with him
Ugh wish I was there!
Me too
Hey send me pics of your outfits!
Okie I’m wearing one of my new bikinis ooh la la
I slid my gold Versace sunglasses on top of my head so I could see the front camera better and snapped a photo. Shit. It came out weird. I scrolled back over to Elizabeth’s text.
One sec!
Again, I exited the message and held up my camera, snapping three more photos in different poses, ending with puckered lips to blow her an imaginary kiss.
“Hey babe?” Antonio called out from the sliding glass door.
I scrolled over, opened the message again, and uploaded the photos.
“Yeah?” I glanced back over my shoulder.
“Are you hungry?”
“Yeah! Of course!”
“Alright, I’m making a reservation for us at Campai Steakhouse.”
“Okay, I’m coming in to shower now.” My eyes lowered to my phone. “Oh. No no no no no.” Carelessly, I’d sent the photos to James instead of Elizabeth. “Shit shit shit.” Please don’t reply, please don’t reply. Oh God. He’s typing! DING!
Definitely wasn’t expecting that.
OMG!!! I meant those to go to Eliza!!!
She asked for photos of my outfits I was supposed to wear there
Omg! Delete them! I’m so freaking sorry!
Trembling, I lowered my sunglasses back on the bridge of my nose, snatched up my belongings, and trekked inside. The moment I stepped through the door, Antonio let out a forced laugh.
