Chapter Twelve
Lennox
As soon aswe made it to our room, we all changed into our bathing suits to hit the pool. The sun was high in the sky and the heat of the day was scorching. I sat in a lounge chair under a big umbrella sipping my frozen strawberry daiquiri. Alissa and Sarah were swimming and splashing while Jessica hung out with me.
“Are you getting nervous yet?” she asked before taking a sip of her drink.
“About what?” I questioned, glancing over to her.
She seemed shocked. “About the wedding, what else?”
I let out a laugh. “No, not at all. I can’t wait to marry Mason.”
She lifted her eyebrows before taking another drink.
“What?” I asked her. She seemed like she wanted to say more but was holding back.
“It’s just that you two are still so young. I can’t believe you’re wanting to get married already.”
“I have been in love with Mason since I was eighteen-years-old. There is no one else that I could even imagine spending the rest of my life with. He’s it for me.” I shrugged.
“Awe, I’ve never actually seen a couple as in love with each other as you and Mason are. It’s like your soulmates or something.” She had this dreamy look in her eye, like maybe Mason and I were changing her outlook on how she viewed marriage.
Sarah and Alissa rushed to my side and flung themselves down in the lounge chair next to mine. Sarah grabbed her drink and sucked it down quickly.
She held her head in her hand. “Ow, brain freeze.”
We all laughed. “Slow down, we have all day. How many of those have you had already?”
Sarah shrugged. “Like four, but I’m a mom. I never get to do this anymore. Plus, I think they are seriously skimping on the alcohol in these things. I’m not feeling a thing yet.”
“Next round is on me,” Jessica volunteered, getting up from her chair and walking toward the bar.
“So what’s next? Do you have this planned out or are we just winging it?” I asked Alissa.
“No plans, we’re just going to do whatever we want to do. I figured I would let you choose. It is your party after all.”
Jessica came back and sat down a tray of drinks. She handed us each a shot. “Best wishes on a happy marriage.” She tipped her glass to me and we all took the shot.
Sarah scoffed. “Oh my God. What was that?”
“Patron,” Jessica answered.
“I hate tequila.” She chased the shot down with a long drink of her daiquiri.
After hoursof lounging pool side and drinking, we all decided to get cleaned up and head out for dinner.
After Sarah drank five daiquiris and a couple shots, she wasn’t feeling so well. Jessica and I had to loop her arms around our shoulders to help her get to the room.
We got her settled in bed and stood back, trying to catch our breath from the long journey. “She always was a light weight,” I said holding my side that had shooting pains running through it.
“Should we call Trent?” Jessica asked.
Alissa joined us at Sarah’s side. “She’ll be fine. Let her sleep it off awhile. We can bring her back some dinner and sober her up before we hit the town.”
We all took turns taking a shower and dressing for our night out. I pulled on a white dress that was form fitting around the top but was thin and flowing until it stopped at my knee. I paired the dress with a pair of heels and curled my hair, leaving it hanging down my back.
Alissa stopped and looked me over. “It’s missing something.”
