Gunner snapped his head around and looked at her.
I was still staring out at them. They were the only two dancing as everyone stood around and watched.
“Holy hell, that just swept me off my damn feet! Heather is so lucky!” Amanda said.
Brad choked on his drink.
Ari walked around and sat on my lap. Her eyes looked like they were filling with tears as she watched them dancing.
Jesus H. Christ. Is she about to cry?
“So incredibly romantic…wow. Heather really is lucky. ” She turned to me and smiled. “I think Josh won by a landslide. Don’t you think, babe?”
Scott busted out laughing as I just looked at her.
All I could do was let out a small laugh before I grabbed her and brought her in for a kiss. I pulled slightly away from her lips. “He certainly did. ”
When she gave me that drop-dead beautiful smile of hers, my heart started racing.
“I love you, babe. ” She captured my lips with hers.
I kissed her and poured as much love into the kiss as I could. When she ran her hands through my hair, I wanted to just rip off her clothes and take her right here and now.
“Get a fucking room. This is a public place. ”
My heart stopped the moment I recognized the voice.
Ari slowly pulled away and looked at me. “You might want to make sure I don’t lay eyes on that bitch, or I will kick the shit out of her. Pregnant or not. ”
As I looked to my left, I saw Rebecca walking off in the other direction with—oh fuck!—Victoria.
How in the hell did those two hook up again? Have they even seen each other since college?
Victoria was watching Josh and Heather dance.
As the song ended, Josh dipped Heather and kissed her. The whole place went crazy, clapping and hollering out.
When I glanced back at Ari, she was staring at me, and then we turned and looked at Heather walking back with Josh. She looked so happy, and I knew exactly what Ari was thinking because I was thinking it, too.
“How did she find out we would be here, Jeff?” Ari said with anger in her eyes.
“I don’t know, baby, but we’re not going to let them ruin this night. ”
Ari stood up as she glared at Victoria and Rebecca. “No. No, we’re not. ”
Chapter Thirty-Five
When Heather walked up to us, I could tell she was flying high. I smiled as Ellie gave Heather a big hug, and the tears started to build up in Heather’s eyes again.
“I just can’t believe how perfect he is!” Heather said as she wiped away a tear.
“Who would have thunk it? My little manwhore, Josh,” I said with a wink.
When Jennifer Lopez’s “Dance Again” started, I looked out and saw Rebecca, Victoria, and some other bitch dancing.
I think I’m going to puke.
“What in the fuck are they doing here?” Amanda said.
