It had become a tradition for these bachelorette parties that we would all wear the same color each night so that the bride could stand out in white. It gave her all of the attention while taking it off of everyone else, which had been my goal all along.
A short while later,everyone was nearly ready to go. We were just putting on the last bits of jewelry and curling a few stray pieces of hair.
“Ella! Come out! Let’s see it!” I shouted from the living room.
Ella came out of the back bedroom, dressed head-to-toe in white sequins. We all squealed as she strutted around the room, showing off her fringe top and sparkling pants.
“You lookgorgeous,” Maddy shouted as she jumped up and down on the couch.
Ella spun around as we all cheered and clapped for her. She threw her long blonde hair over her shoulder and took a bow. Ella was never one to shy away from the spotlight, so a weekend that was entirely about her was like a dream come true.
“I’m going to go make sure the limo is here!” I told everyone as I walked out the door, “Be right back!”
Everyone cheered as I stepped out into the hall. As I rounded the corner, I came face-to-face with a brick wall. I took a step back and realized that, no, it hadn’t been a brick wall, it was an incredibly tall and muscular man who was blocking me from getting to the elevator.
“You should watch where you’re walking,” the man said as he stared down at me.
I knew those eyes. I knew that chin. They were the same ones that—oh, no.
“Are you Dylan Woods?” I asked.
The man smirked at me and winked.
“You bet I am, babe.”
It took every ounce of self-control that I had not to roll my eyes at him. Dylan Woods was a wealthy, arrogant musician with a massive social media following. He also happened to be Ella’s older brother. He was constantly on tour and sleeping with countless women, so we hadn’t ever had the “pleasure” of meeting one another. But I knew enough about him that I wasn’t too upset about that fact.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
My voice had more of a bite in it than I intended, but I rolled with it.
“I’m here to see my little sister. Itisher bachelorette party this weekend, isn’t it?”
“Yes, it is. And we have plans tonight, so I don’t think she’ll want to see you.”
Dylan ran a large hand through his dark, wavy hair and let out a small laugh.
“No one has ever said no to seeing me.”
I stood there motionless, staring at him with a blank expression. I wasn’t sure if I should show him to the elevator or just go downstairs and leave him standing here.
“Well, I’m saying no on Ella’s behalf. Bye!”
I turned around and started marching towards the elevator, but when I looked over my shoulder, Dylan was knocking on the door to our suite. I stomped back down the hallway and tapped him on the shoulder.
“What do you think you’re doing?” I asked.
“I’m saying hello to my sister. Like I told you,” he said.
His voice was sharp and deep, and I knew there was no way I was going to win a battle with him. I shook my head and pulled my keycard out of my pocket. Before I had the chance to open the door, Ursula swung it open.
“Dylan Woods!” she shouted. “What are you doing here?”
“That is a very popular question tonight. Where’s my little sis?”
“Dylan?” Ella’s voice ran through the suite and into the hall, “DYLAN!”
She jumped into his arms and he spun her around. He set her back on the floor and stepped inside the suite. He glanced around the room and I could tell from the expression on his face that he was seriously judging me for the phallic decor and all of the disco balls and pink sparkles.
