Back to Me (Carolina Rebels 1)

“Oh.” So, Marc has already met Lizzy, and he likes her? We step off the elevator.

“What’s with the lackluster oh?” Marc asks.

“Well, Sylvia told me a while back she wanted to set you up with someone, and that it would take a lot of convincing for whomever it was and that she was hoping the whole opposites attract thing would work. I can’t imagine you with someone like Lizzy based on what Sylvia said and how she was tonight.”

Noah unlocks the door. I go straight to Leo. I’d rather stay and get more details, but Leo needs to go out. I excuse myself, hoping I can wrap my mind around what I’ve learned by the time I return. If Marc wants to go after Lizzy, then we need to be supportive. I just can’t believe he hit it off with her, especially since she didn’t reciprocate that at all. The most I can do is wish them luck, and hope if they do start dating, that she doesn’t break Marco’s heart.

When I make it back to the apartment, Marc is about to leave. He kisses my cheek and makes his escape. I look at Noah who shrugs before going to sit on the couch.

“Don’t shrug at me,” I say as I unhook Leo’s leash from his collar.

“What do you want me to do?”

“Tell me what was said while I was outside with Leo.” I plop down onto the couch next to him.

“Marco has his hands full with this girl. That’s pretty much all that was said.”

I already figured as much. “Think she’ll be Marc’s date to our wedding?”

“If Marc has anything to say about it, yeah.”

“Who’s coming to our wedding anyway?” I reach over and grab the legal pad off the end table as well as a pen. I flip to a clean page and write ‘Guest List’ at the top.

Noah reaches over, plucks the paper and pen out of my hand and tosses them both behind the couch.

“What—?”

“We’ll do it tomorrow,” he interrupts, grabbing my hand and pulling me into his lap. “I let you have your way and we talked wedding details last time. This time, I’m having my way.” His hands glide up my arms until they cup the back of my neck. He pulls me closer, my forehead resting against his. “I’m glad you came back to me,” he tells me quietly.

“Best decision I ever made.”

Noah flashes a grin before kissing me. Definitely the best thing I ever did.
