I grabbed Steven’s arm, trying to drag him to the door but it was like his feet were glued to the ground beneath him.
“Steven, come on. My dad already said yes, and he wouldn’t dare change his mind and break his baby girl’s heart,” I told him, locking eyes with my father.
He raised an eyebrow.
I glared, challenging him.
“She’s good.” Angel clapped his shoulder again before taking a step toward us. He peered down at Steven. “You hurt her, and it won’t be her father that you’ll have to worry about.”
Steven took me out to get ice cream only and not dinner like he had told me. He dropped me off half an hour later because he was suddenly feeling ill. Yeah. Right.
I laughed to myself, shaking my head at the memories.
All of us girls had issues dating at one time or another. The guys had it way too easy if you asked me.
Rummaging through my closet, I was searching for something to wear when my phone rang. Quickly answering it, I placed it on speaker and sat it on my nightstand. “Hey.”
“Hey, girl. How are you?”
I smiled as Gigi’s voice greeted me. “Nervous.”
“Nervous? Why?”
“Because Jaron’s taking me on a date tonight.” I frowned, still unsure as to what I should wear.
“Really? That’s amazing! Did you need anyone to watch Brynlee?”
“My parents are watching her but thank you.” After falling asleep in his arms the night before, I had woken to a note on his pillow. He had taken Brynlee out for the day and would drop her off at my parents’ place before picking me up for our date. He told me to spend the day doing whatever I wanted. For as grumpy as he was, he was also sweet and so damn caring at times, I thought my heart would burst.
“Do you know where you’re going?” Gigi asked, pulling me from my thoughts.
“No. He took Brynn out for the day and gave me some time to myself. I’ll see him in about a half hour when he picks me up.”
“He gave you a day off?”
I turned toward my phone. “Yeah…why?”
“Piper, that man loves you so fucking hard.”
“Oh…well…yeah.” I smiled. “He does.”
“Queenie, who are you talking to?” I heard Vince ask in the background.
“Piper,” she told him. “Her and Jaron are going on a date tonight.”
“We should go on a double date some time,” Vince suggested.
“I like that idea,” I added.
“She likes that idea. Now go away, so I can talk to my girl.” She yelped. “Jerk.”
I laughed, shaking my head. “You two are well?” I asked, getting the subject off of Jaron and me.
“We are. Wedding plans are coming along nicely. Now that Jaron is home, Luna and Zach can get married, so then can Vince and I.”
“I don’t know why we have to wait,” Vince mumbled in the background.
“Hear him? He’s so damn grumpy because I refuse to get married before them. I wanted Jaron home anyway for you.”
