Chasing My Forever (Beaumont: Next Generation 3) - Page 84

Rhett smirks. “Too bad indeed.” He returns to the house, making sure the door is shut nice and tight. I pull my phone out of my bag and call Kellie. Her phone rings and rings. I’m about to hang up when she answers.

“You do realize we have a time difference, right?”

“Oh shit, I forgot. I’m sorry. Call me later?”

“Nah, I’m up. What’s up?”

“I took the test.”

“And?”

“It’s what we thought.”

“It’s my wedding day!” Susannah jumps on the bed. Her hair is wild, flying all over the place and covering her face as she falls down next to me. She kicks her legs and squeals. “Oh, my God, I’m going to be married this evening.”

“I take it you’re excited?” It’s barely after midnight. My poor friend has a long time to wait until she’s walking down the aisle.

She turns onto her side and looks at me. “Do you know what tonight brings?”

I shake my head slightly.

“S. E. X.”

My eyes go wide, and I prop myself up on my elbow. “Hold on, you and Tanner have done it before. I know this for a fact because I was there when you took the pregnancy test. So, what are you talking about?”

“When Tanner asked me to marry him, we stopped doing it. We wanted tonight to be special and actually mean something instead of us just signing a piece of paper and falling into bed together.”

“Well, that’s sort of sweet.”

“Do you think so?”

I nod. “Yeah, I do.”

“I miss it though and living with him has been so hard. He makes me so horny.”

We both start to giggle. “I know what you mean.” As much as I miss Quinn, I miss the sex too. He’s the only one who has ever made me feel the way I did. I could spend hours with him and never tire.

“Do you still love him? Quinn, I mean?”

“Yeah, I do.”

“Do you think you’ll go back to Los Angeles and confront him?”

I shake my head and then start to nod. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. I want to go back, even if it’s just for a minute. He needs to hear me out. “Yes, I have things to tell him, but I’m not expecting things to change. I think our time has passed. He’s changed his number and doesn’t want to hear from me.”

Susannah moves over to my pillow. “I’m so sorry.”

“It’s my own fault. I should’ve been more honest with him.” Although, there wasn’t anything I could do about Sofia. That mess is such a huge cluster, I can’t even begin to unravel it. I was doomed with Quinn from the start because of her.

“I think if he’s the kind of man you told me he is, he’ll listen and realize that you’re meant to be together.”

“Maybe. I don’t know. He’s busy now, so I don’t know if he’ll even give me five minutes.”

“He will. He’s in love with you.”

I wish that were true. I long to hear him say those words. To be able to answer my phone and have him be on the other end, asking for a second chance. We both did and said things that caused each of us hurt, but they’re not things we can’t forgive each other for. Deep down, I know he didn’t mean what he said, and I know he’d take it back if I could only prove to him that I didn’t know about Sofia. The lies she’s told, and her actions have really done a number on my life.

“Do you know, if I hadn’t gone off to school, Roy and I would be married. I’d likely be a mom or on my way to having a baby right about now. My life would be so different.”
