"I'll think about that."
Drew looks to me and raises a brow. "You alright?"
Maybe. I offer Drew my hand.
He shakes his head and pulls me into a hug.
He steps back with a smile and returns to his fiancée.
I follow.
Kara is complimenting Violet's makeup and commiserating about graduate school. She's about to graduate with her Teaching Credential. She found a job that was willing to defer her employment for a year, what with her being due right when the school year starts.
Violet leans in to whisper something to her.
Kara laughs. "Aren't they always?" She turns to me. "Thank you, Ethan. I… I don't know what to say." She pulls me into a hug then plants a kiss on my cheek. "You're really a great guy. Thank you."
Fuck, I'm blushing now.
Kara steps back and whispers something to Drew.
He shakes Violet's hand. "It was nice to finally meet you officially."
She smiles. "You too."
We exchange goodbyes then the happy couple hurries to the elevator bank.
Violet moves close enough to whisper. "I think the two of them might be in love with you."
"They're thankful."
"It's sweet how you helped them." She pulls me into a hug and rests her head on my chest. "Kara's right. You are a great guy."
My cheeks burn hotter. I don't blush over anything. Fuck, this sucks.
She lets out a long, deep sigh of pleasure as she pulls me closer. "So why are you taking me to LAX?"
I have to laugh. "Damn, gossip travels fast."
"It does."
"What do you know?"
"I heard something about a private jet, but that can't be right."
"It is."
She jolts upright. "No fucking way."
I nod. "Drew flew in today. It's already here, scheduled to go back to Los Angeles tonight."
Delight spreads over her face. "We're going on a private jet?"
"Just the two of us."
"No fucking way!!!"
God, I love seeing her like this. I soak in all the excitement in her green eyes. "We get in sometime about four A.M. I already have your stuff packed. It's in the limo."
