From the corner of my eye, I saw her head snap over and look at me.
Oh God. I’m so going to hell for this.
“Did he tell you that?”
I slowly turned and looked at her. “Do you really want to know? I mean, you say you’re in love with Mitch and all, so what should it matter how Reed feels?”
“Damn it, Whitley! Did he tell you that? Did he tell you he’s in love with me?”
I let a small smile play across my face.
“Whitley, please just—”
Just then, the back door opened, and Anna came walking out.
Fuck me.
“Hey, girls. What are you both doing up so early? Whitley, you should be getting your beauty sleep. ”
I tried smiling up at Anna, but over the last six months, I had really grown to dislike her—a lot. She was always trying to keep Reed and Courtney apart. I didn’t trust her, and I knew she was pushing Reed into moving faster than he was ready to.
“I wanted to watch the sunrise on my wedding day. Courtney here was out freaking jogging. ”
Anna glanced over toward Courtney, who was looking out at the sunrise. I knew she was pissed that Anna had interrupted our conversation, especially since I was just about to tell her that Reed had told Layton he still loved her.
“What were y’all talking about? The wedding?”
I just looked at her.
Rude-ass bitch.
I just smiled and nodded.
She smiled back and then let out a giggle. “Oh my God, I have to tell someone before I burst!”
I looked over and saw Courtney roll her eyes. I let out a small laugh as I watched Anna jump around like an idiot.
“Well…what is it?” I asked.
“Reed asked me to move in with him, and I’m pretty sure he’s going to pop the big question soon!”
I sat up and both Courtney and I said, “What?” at the same time.
“He asked you to move in with him, Anna? Are you sure?”
Anna’s smile faded as she gave me a dirty look. “Of course, I’m sure, Whitley. I don’t think I would misread something like that. ”
She looked over at Courtney, and the smile that spread across her face told me she was only saying this because she must have overheard us talking just now.
She’s totally lying.
Courtney got up and excused herself. “I need to go take a shower and start getting things ready. Duty calls for the maid of honor and all. I’ll talk to you later, Whit. ”
Shit! Shit! Shit!
There was no way Courtney and I were going to have a chance to talk alone again. I looked back up at Anna, who was smiling as she watched Courtney walk back into the house.
“It was so nice of Mimi and Frank to let us all stay here. When are we going back to Layton’s house?”
