“It was wonderful. I swam with the dolphins.”
“Oh. You actually got in the water with those creatures? I could never.”
“It was a lot of fun.”
“They’re so slimy.” Jess shuddered.
Jillian casually picked up her drink and took a sip without responding.
“I think swimming with the dolphins sounds like fun.” I smiled at Jillian.
“You would, Drew. I wouldn’t allow you to sleep in my bed after being in the water with those things.”
I rolled my eyes. The thought that I’d go tomorrow and swim the dolphins entered my mind.
Chapter Nine
Jillian
I was starting to understand the unhappiness that radiated from Drew when he was with Jess. She was definitely a piece of work. She reminded me of Grant, and that was not a good thing.
“So, Jillian, what made you decide to leave your fiancé standing at the altar?” she asked.
“Don’t you think that’s a little personal?” Drew interjected.
“No. She told you that she did it, so I was just wondering why.”
Sitting there, I felt uncomfortable about her question, but I wouldn’t let her get to me. If she wanted to know, then I would tell her.
“I wasn’t in love with him.”
“Fair enough. But didn’t you know that before the wedding?”
I wasn’t about to get into my whole life story with this bitch I didn’t even know.
“I had my doubts, but when I found out that he slept with two strippers at his bachelor party, that sealed the deal,” I lied.
“Oh, you poor thing. I wouldn’t have left him at the altar. I would have castrated him first and then left him.” She reached over and placed her arm around Drew. “That’s something I never have to worry about with Drew. Right, baby?” She leaned over and kissed his cheek.
He nodded his head as he gulped down the rest of his scotch, and the waitress quickly brought him another.
“What do you do for a living?” I asked her.
“I’m a buyer for Neiman Marcus. And you?”
“I just graduated from Yale Law.”
Her brow raised, and suddenly, I became a threat.
“Wow. Impressive. I would never have taken you for the lawyer type.”
She and me both.
“How long have the two of you been together?” I asked.
“About a year now.” She smiled. “A wonderful and beautiful year. Isn’t that right, baby?” She smiled.
Drew raised his brows as he took another sip of his drink. It was taking everything I had to hold in the laughter that so desperately wanted to come out. Things were starting to become very clear now. She invited me to have dinner with them so she could tell me how happy they were and discreetly tell me to stay away.
