“Yeah, because obviously you’re my maid of honor.”
My heart lifted. “Aww! Really?” I headed right for her, pulling her into my arms. “That means a lot.”
“You mean a lot.” Maeve gave me a squeeze. “And you’re going to have a hell of a job dealing with all my old high school friends. You’ve never even met them…but ugh, they are a handful. Plus, I wanted to invite a few girls from the agency.”
I hesitated as I pulled away from her. “So…how many bridesmaids are you having, Maeve?”
“Twelve,” she squeaked. “I know, I know. It’s a lot. But I have a lot of friends—and Tyson wants me to have whatever I want. And you know…my mom…”
“Oh. You mean your mom wants you to have all those bridesmaids then.”
“Yeah, pretty much. It’s annoying, and you know that sometimes I think about telling her no…”
“But the drama isn’t worth it,” I finished for her. I knew her mom enough to know what kind of drama went along with her. Last summer, when her mom came to visit, she’d insisted we rearrange the living room—and when Maeve said she didn’t want to, her mother had broken down.
So, we rearranged the living room.
And then moved it back once she’d left.
“One of these days, I’m going to figure out how to deal with her, but I’m so excited for the wedding that I just want to enjoy it.”
I nodded. “I don’t blame you at all. So, what’re we doing for this bachelorette party?”
“Well, Tyson and the band are going out to the bars and whatever else. I told him he could even go to a strip club if he wanted—it’s the last hoorah he’s getting of seeing other women. He said we could do whatever we wanted too…”
I narrowed my eyes in suspicion. “And so, what are we doing?”
Maeve gave me a wicked grin. “Oh, all you need to know is that it’s going to be wild. I had an unlimited budget.”
“Are we at least staying here in the city?” I asked her. “Because I don’t know if I can get off work to recover.”
She laughed, waving me off. “Oh my god, Lena. Only you would worry about work. But yes, since everything is so last minute, we’re keeping both parties here in Los Angeles. It’s too hard to travel when we have so much planning left to do.”
I sighed in relief. “Okay, well then I can handle whatever you throw at me…probably.”
“Oh, I’m sure our entertainment for the night will love that.”
My heart dropped. “I take it there will be adult entertainment there…”
Maeve’s eyes glimmered with mischief and excitement. “Girl, we’re gonna have all the adult entertainment. It’s going to be a blast.”
Inwardly I cringed, but I maintained my smile. “This is going to be wild.”
“So wild!”

“So…what’s the difference between a bachelor party and our usual night out?” Aaron asked, leaning back against the leather seat of the limo. “Aren’t we just doing the same shit we always do?”
Tyson glared at him. “The difference is that I’m going to be married once this is all over.”
“But not tonight,” Nel added.
I chuckled, running my hands along my black-denim-clad thighs. I really need to hit the gym more consistently. I’ve gotten lazy.
“You guys are assholes,” Tyson snapped, shaking his head from beside me. “I just want to have a few drinks with you. Nothing crazy.”
