5 Days Until Dream Wedding
Sienna practically skippeddown the stairs to the dining hall the next morning.
After Fox’s declaration the night before, she wasn’t sure she’d ever leave the safe room. But after way too much kissing, and Harper’s persistent banging on the door, the two decided they couldn’t hide inside the small room for the next five days.
So, Fox and Sienna had eventually left the linen closet and apologized for running off in the middle of the competition—again. Bruce asked them to return to the meeting room and said all would be forgivenifthey agreed to do a short on camera interview about what was going on between the two of them.
Apparently, they had enough footage of the two of them together that they wanted to play up this love story in the background of Eli and Audrey’s wedding. All in all, it was better than what either of them could hope for.
Sienna checked her reflection in a mirror outside the dining hall to make sure her hair and makeup were the same as they were two minutes ago. Breakfast would technically be her first date with Fox, and she wasn’t about to look a mess or show up late.
When she walked through the doorway her gaze immediately found Fox sitting alone at a table in the corner. Not that it was hard. The room was relatively empty. Her sisters hadn’t made it down yet, and besides Fox, Harry and Reagan were the only ones in the room. And they were having a tense conversation that Sienna wouldn't interrupt if her life depended on it.
Sienna enjoyed the way Fox watched her as she made her way to the table. She gave him a quick good morning kiss before she sat down. There were two cups of coffee on the table, and a pile of cream and sugar next to Sienna’s cup.
He shrugged. “I wasn’t sure how you liked it.”
Sienna opened one of the small containers of cream and poured it into her drink. “I’m not picky. Just as long as it has caffeine.”
“Good to know.” Fox chuckled. “I wonder what else I don’t know about you.”
Sienna squirmed in her seat. As excited as she was to be with Fox, they didn't have all the time in the world to get to know one another. They had five days. “Uh, yeah. But you know this has an expiration date, right?”
Fox smiled. “I know. I spent a lot of time thinking about this last night.”
She lifted a brow. “Oh yeah?”
He nodded. “I really like you Sienna. And I don’t think five days is enough.”
“But I’m going back to the city in five days, and you have your life in Kitty Hawk.”
“I don’t love it there.” He lifted the coffee cup to his lips and took a sip.
“So what? You’re going to come to New York with me?” She laughed, but Fox didn’t join in.
He held her gaze. “That’s exactly what I’m suggesting. I know we don’t know each other that well yet, and I’m not saying I think we should move in together. But I don’t want to be an eight-hour drive away from you.”
Her heart dropped into her stomach. “Are you serious?” The smile that broke out on her face was so big it hurt. “I don’t want you to be somewhere you hate.”
He shook his head. “Even if I didn’t already love New York—which I do—I could never hate anywhere you are.”
Well if that wasn’t the sweetest thing anyone had ever said to her.
“Are you pulling these lines from movies? These are solid gold. You should consider being a writer.”
“Nah, I think I’ll stick to singing.”
“You want to sing?” Sienna’s eyes were wide.
“Well, after the show airs, I’m pretty sure I’ll have agents banging down my door,” said Fox with a smug shrug. “I’ll see if one of them can book you a commercial.”
He winked, and she laughed.
New York with Fox was going to befun.
“But seriously, it’s because of you that I realized how much I miss it,” he said, his eyes going dark and serious—and seriously smoldering. “It’s not too late for me to give it another shot. I don’t have to have a miserable life just because that’s what I’ve had for the past ten years.”
“I made you see that?” Sienna tried unsuccessfully to keep her voice steady.
