Escape With Me (Love With Me 1)

“It's no problem,” Cassie told him. “This way I'll get a better view of the bride and Kyle's face when he sees her.”

Chad offered her his arm, and together they walked down the sandy aisle. Cassie's foot slipped on a pile of loose sand, and she nearly went down, but Chad caught her arm and kept her upright.

“Thanks,” she told him with a chuckle. “See? I knew I was smart to switch.”

Chad laughed and together they went down the aisle with smiles on their faces. Lorna came after looking pissed. She'd switched for Cassie's date, a tall and handsome young man, who as Lorna probably just found out from her expression, had a negative net worth.

Luckily, the rest of the rehearsal went smoothly. Lorna didn't make any more fusses, and everyone understood what they were supposed to do the next day.

“Thanks for coming and practicing, everyone,” Kyle announced, standing where he would be married tomorrow. “We have reservations for everyone at the Beach House for dinner. Just in case we don't remind you again, be sure you're here early tomorrow. Thank you!”

Chad clapped Kyle on the back, and the two of them laughed.

“So, you have to tell me everything,” Janessa said, coming up alongside Cassie.

“Yup. I need details,” Brianna agreed.

“I have no idea what we're talking about, but I want in,” Julia added, joining the group.

“Cassie is going to tell us all about her hottie bartender,” Janessa said. “Because lord knows I need something to tide me over until tomorrow.”

The four of them began to stroll along the beach toward the restaurant.

Cassie sighed. “You guys don't want to hear about it.”

“Girl, I haven't had sex in two weeks because Kyle wants it to be 'special,'” Janessa informed them. “I went from getting some every day to cold turkey. I'm dying. I need to live vicariously through you.”

“Two weeks? That's it?” Brianna scoffed.

“Yeah. How ever do you survive?” Julia added sarcastically.

Janessa glared at them. “Do you guys want the details from her or not?”

“Oh, I want the details,” Brianna replied. “She gives me hope. If Cassie can find a sexy man than there is a possibility that I can too.”

“Even I want to know how things went last night,” Julia said. She bumped Cassie with her hip. “Tell us it was glorious. Give hope to us mere mortals.”

Cassie couldn't help but chuckle. “He is definitely Greek God material,” she admitted.

Brianna whistled. “I knew it!”

“Tell me what he looks like,” Julia asked. She blushed when she realized how she'd phrased it. “I mean, his face. I don't need to know other parts.”

“If his other parts are as nice as his face...” Janessa kissed her fingers like an Italian chef praising the food.

“Beach body, beachy hair, strong jaw, pretty eyes,” Brianna listed off. “He's handsome.”

“And everything matches,” Cassie added.

Brianna clapped, and Janessa squealed with delight.

“I'm going to have to see this guy,” Julia announced. She grinned at Cassie. “Way to go.”

Cassie grinned. “He's sweet, too. He's good, and then he's good.” She shivered with the memory of just how good Wyatt had been last night.

“You should bring him to the wedding,” Janessa said. “He can be your date. We've got more than enough space.”

“You totally should,” Brianna agreed. “There's a couple of guests that couldn't make it, so you don't have to worry about food or anything.”
