“I already know what I want,” Miranda says to no one in particular.

“Everything sounds so good,” I murmur to Chase. He nods his head in agreement.

Noah brings over the bottle of champagne we left on the bar along with a champagne bucket and places it between Amanda and Miranda. Chase growls low in displeasure before asking, “Can I get three Blue Moons?” There’s a hint of impatience coating his words.

“Yes, sir. Right away.” Chase places his hand on my thigh, his fingers strumming the inside of my leg.

“Stop,” I whisper.

“Stop what?” he asks innocently.

“With the growling and nastiness. I know what you’re doing.”

“I’m not doing anything,” he murmurs, his hand moving higher up my leg. Thank goodness the table has a cloth over it.

“He’s the bartender,” I say, ignoring his traveling fingers.

“I know.” He smiles, his eyes sparkling.

Noah brings back beers and Chase takes his, raising it in the air.

“Here’s to a fantastic weekend with great friends,” Chase toasts. Everyone follows suit, clinking their drinks.

“So, after lunch, say around four, I need Olivia and Miranda to try on their dresses. I’m pretty sure they’ll fit without alterations. Then, assuming my parents are here, we’ll do a dry run of the ceremony.” Amanda turns her attention to Nathan. “Did you speak to the wedding officiate?”

“Yup, all set for tomorrow at five.”

“Good,” she breathes, looking relieved.

“Are you ready to order?” one of the servers asks.

“I believe we are,” Justin answers.

Starting with the ladies, she makes her way around the table. As the waitress walks off, Miranda says, “So, what are we doing tonight? We need to have a bachelorette party, don’t we?” I look over at Chase. He doesn’t look thrilled with the idea either.

“I don’t know. There isn’t much to do here,” Amanda says.

“We can go over to the main island. There are plenty of bars and people over there,” Miranda offers.

“That’s a fantastic idea!” Justin blurts out. “And the outlaws will be here. By themselves.”

“That does sound appealing,” Amanda says, appearing to think about the idea.

“We can all go over and have our respective bachelor and bachelorette parties at the same place,” Chase says, gauging my reaction.

“No!” Miranda shouts. “You guys can come along, but we are not spending our bachelorette party in the same club. Not happening.”

“Why not?” Chase asks.

“Because,” Miranda starts, “I don’t want you boys watching our every move.”

“Trust me, we won’t misbehave,” Amanda says to Nathan.

Smiling, Nathan caves. “I don’t see a problem with that, do you guys? There are three different casinos on Providenciales. We’ll have plenty to do.”

Justin practically jumps out of his chair, he’s so excited. Chase, not so much. His hand is back on my thigh, clenching with a vice-like grip.

“Olivia, are you in?” Miranda asks. I turn to glance at Chase. “Don’t ask him, yes or no?”
