Before we head over to the cake table, I notice Kayla and Logan dancing together. Guess she decided against playing hard to get. I smile and nudge Drew.
“Look.” I tilt my head to the dance floor.
Drew sees exactly what I’m looking at and shakes his head. “You’re still playing matchmaker?” He gives me a boyish grin.
“Of course I am.”
“Well, as long as Logan’s preoccupied with other things, I don’t think it’s going to happen,” Drew states matter-of-factly before taking a swig of water.
I remember overhearing Drew and Logan talking about something earlier, but I never asked about it.
“Other things such as Skylar?” Whoever that may be.
He just flashes me a smile, not confirming anything.
Whoever it is, they could really get in the way of my matchmaking abilities.
“It’s not my story to tell, babe,” he says, even after I give him a pouty face.
The rest of the evening flashes by in a blink. Between taking pictures in the photo booths, dancing, and talking with everyone, the evening comes to an end and we’re being sent off by everyone waving sparklers in the air. I hug my mama and daddy once more and thank them for everything before Drew escorts me into the passenger side of a 1957 Chevy Bel Air convertible that John’s been restoring for years.
We wave goodbye to everyone as Drew drives us up to the bed and breakfast and carries me inside. Benita recruited Kayla to come with her to decorate our honeymoon suite. Although we’ll be leaving for our actual honeymoon in a couple of days, it was sweet of them to think about helping make our wedding night just as special.
As soon as we lie down, I realize how exhausted I am. Drew helps me out of my dress and even takes my blue cowboy boots off my feet. They’re so swollen, I’m surprised he can remove them.
“Even your panties are blue?” He raises a brow as if he’s impressed.
“You bet, cowboy. I had to coordinate.” I smile.
“Well, let’s coordinate your naked body to mine and see what happens.” He leans over me and I bust out laughing as he climbs on top of my body. “Let’s hope these beds aren’t as squeaky as the last B&B we stayed at, otherwise we’re about to let the entire ranch know what we’re doing.” He flashes me a devilish grin, and I willingly let him strip my panties off.
We sleep in the next morning and enjoy waking up together for the first time as husband and wife. The staff brings us breakfast in bed and we just enjoy being together without the rush and hassle of the busy lifestyle we have in California.
It’s everything perfect and more than I ever imagined. The following day, we catch our flight to Hawaii and spend the next ten days soaking up the sun, exploring the island and swimming with the dolphins, as well as utilizing the quiet beds they offer. By the last day, I’m sad to leave such a beautiful place, but I’m also ready to get back to my fur babies.
As soon as we land, I check my text messages and see several from Kayla.
K: I did something bad.
K: REALLY BAD.
K: I met up with Logan this morning and looked at something I shouldn’t have.
K: UGH. I’m so ashamed of myself. *bangs head*
K: But that brings me to my next dilemma. I found out who Skylar is. Now I know there really isn’t a chance between us.
K: CALL MEEEEEE.
