“Wait? What?!” Ethan chokes. “What do you mean? What the fuck is going on?”
“I leave you to handle this, Benjamin. And again, I hope this doesn’t change your opinion of me. I’m just doing what any good sports agent in my shoes would do,” I interrupt, knowing this is my cue to leave.
“I can respect that, even if I don’t like it,” Benjamin states coldly. “Thank you for alerting me to this. I can guarantee the issue will be swiftly dealt with.”
Before I leave father and son to deal with the mess I just left at their feet, I bend down to Ethan’s ear and whisper the words I’ve been dying to say since I saw his smug face, “Who’s the bitch now,bitch?”
Chapter 29
Trent
I have to hand it to Wilder. When he wants something, there’s nothing he won’t do to get it.
Luckily for him, Charlotte seems to share his belief that life is just too short for it not to be lived to its fullest extent.
Not a month had passed since he officially proposed to her on the ice with all their friends and family in attendance, and they already decided to tie the knot—on Valentine’s Day, no less.
I’m not usually the kind of guy who gets misty-eyed for such romantic gestures, but even I have to admit that the whole wedding ceremony was very touching to watch.
For a man who Piper says isn’t very good with his words, he sure expressed his love to Charlotte perfectly on that altar.
There wasn’t a dry eye after that romantic speech.
But while everyone was concentrating on the bride and the groom declaring their never-ending love for each other, my focus was solely on the stunning woman standing beside the bride, looking like she could cry from happiness for her friend.
Piper was all I saw.
But at that moment, I saw her in a flowing white gown, a white and pink magnolia threaded in her blonde hair, and my ring on her finger.
I’ve never been an envious man since I abhor that petty feeling, but even I felt a sting of envy that Wilder was able to get his happily-ever-after so quickly.
Not that it came easy for him. Both he and Charlotte suffered great hurdles to get where they are now.
But still…
It would have been nice to be on the path that they are now.
Not that I’m complaining.
Just being with Piper has been the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Loving her every day is a fucking blessing, and I wouldn’t change a single moment that we’ve shared.
Life is good.
Life is more than good.
It’s fucking perfect.
So why do I feel like I want more?
“We should move in together,” I blurt out amongst the sea of people dancing in the hotel reception hall.
“I was under the impression we already were,” Piper teases, swaying to the music with her head pressed against my chest.
I pull her chin up and look her deep in the eyes.
“What I meant to say is,” I swallow hesitantly since I know pushing Piper before she’s ready could fucking backfire on me, “that we should buy a place of our own. Something that’s just ours.”
