“You’re a shit liar, Cade. Severely.”

I rolled my eyes, however determined it was higher to simply be trustworthy than make one thing up.

It wasn’t like Weston was round anyway to listen to me.

“Weston stated he’d be right here at present. On the fundraiser.”

Mitchell regarded up from his spot on the bottom.

“You haven’t seen him?” Mitchell requested, reaching within the pen to stroke a gray and white striped kitten on its head along with his finger.

“No…”

“He’s been schmoozing round all afternoon. I believe I noticed him over by the park like ten minutes in the past.”

My blood chilled, and I used to be frightened perhaps my anxieties have been proper. Perhaps he was ignoring me.

Had I been fallacious about him?

It wouldn’t have been the primary time I’d checked out a person with rose tinted glasses, however…

Final night time, as we cuddled on the mattress collectively, drowning our stress in ice cream and Star Wars, I assumed that perhaps he was totally different. Perhaps, simply perhaps this time I’d gotten it proper.

“Earth to Cade,” Mitchell stated, and I noticed I’d fully spaced out.

“Sorry, Mitch, I—”

“You need me to man the desk a bit? You possibly can stroll round and seize one thing to eat, perhaps discover your new boy toy,” he teased.

I couldn’t assist the flush of blood into my cheeks at his insinuation.

“It’s not like that. It’s—”

“Then what’s it like, Cade? Hmmm? I’ve identified you a very long time, and I’ve by no means seen you get all doe-eyed like this over anybody. Even the assholes that got here earlier than. For God’s sake, when Dawson broke up with you, you didn’t even bat a watch. However this man has you all up in arms since you simply haven’t seen him? If I didn’t know any higher, I’d say you have been in love.”

His phrases hit me like a freight prepare.

I’d solely identified Weston for barely three days. Certainly it was inconceivable to fall in love with somebody you hardly knew for seventy-two hours. This was actual life, not a Disney film.

However as Mitch’s phrases settled on me, infiltrating my partitions, I knew they held fact.

I used to be head over heels in love with Weston Rhodes, and that was terrifying.

As a result of giving anybody that sort of energy over your coronary heart, particularly whenever you weren’t certain the place you stood… was scary.

“Okay, perhaps you don’t want to go away…” Mitchell stated as he stood.

“One loverboy coming straight at you, twelve o clock,” Mitchell cooed as he snapped an image of Weston amongst the gang.

My coronary heart lifted on the sight. Seeing his lilac sleeves rolled up, two buttons popped, his darkish hair blowing within the wind. He was breathtaking set towards the numerous bushes and flowers, trying each bit the person of my goals.

Was I the person of his?

I didn’t know.

I didn’t know what I used to be to Weston. In any case, he’d been clear he was solely right here on enterprise, and ultimately that enterprise would finish.

We’d been fortunate the occasion in Jasper Springs had been so profitable. Profitable sufficient that Rhodes had determined to placed on two further occasions, the one at present and one on the finish of the week in Paradise. However the occasions couldn’t go on perpetually. Finally, Weston must depart, and I wasn’t certain the place that left us.
