“Y’all, yes, I’m good. Yes, Sammi. Yes, Percy and Becky. This is what I want. Please, do me a favor and follow these rules. At least for my sanity.”
“So, Brendon’s wedding is off the table?” Becky asks again. “I wouldn’t be lying if I said his fiancé is all wrong for him, so you’d be doing him a favor.” She chuckles mischievously. “That stick is so far up her ass that she’ll have to go the ER if she ever wants it removed.”
“Sounds like she and Mr. Butts have something in common. Does he like it up the ass too, Mysti?”
“Percy! Stop that! That’s my fiancé you’re talking about.”
I reach for my champagne again and chug it. Norbert didn’t say anything about champagne before I land, so I’m technically not breaking any rules.
“Pardon me, sir, can I get another bottle over here?” I ask the attendant, who’s dressed in a black fitted suit.
I catch a glimpse of his name tag as he starts to uncork the bottle of Cristal. His name is Brad, and I check him out casually, ignoring the group phone call.
He’s tall and lanky, with strawberry blonde hair. He’s okay—but nothing like what I want right now.
Because, for some reason, I only see red. Fiery red hair—like Brendon’s.
I shake my head, forcing myself to get him out of my system. Seriously, why did they have to bring him up? He’s moving on with his life, and so am I.
And that’s that.
I can’t go to Vegas. That’d be crazy, and not to mention very wrong. I’d be breaking all of Norbert’s rules. Even the ones he has yet to lay down.
And I just can’t do that to him.
“Fine!” Sammi announces. “Mysti, we agree, okay? Don’t get all dramatic on us now.”
“Uh…sorry, guys. I zoned out for a second. But thank you.”
“Thinking about Brendon’s dick or Mr. Butts taking it up his namesake?” Percy quips.
Everyone laughs, including me. Even though I try to cover my mouth so they can’t hear me.
“Neither. Definitely neither.” I sigh, some pressure releasing from my shoulders.
A part of me regrets not running to Brendon.
But that’s a part of me I can’t release again…ever.
