Saved (Wanted 2) - Page 179

By the time we got back to the wedding reception, Heather and I were laughing so hard that we both had tears rolling down our faces. When I told her about Garrett walking in on Jeff and Ari one too many, she laughed even more.
Heather parked the car and was laughing so hard she had to take a couple minutes to settle down before getting out.
“Only Ari would suggest walking out naked to scare Garrett from ever doing it again,” Heather said.
“I know, right?”
We sat there for a few seconds, and neither one of us moving or speaking.
“Well, I guess we better get Ari her cheeseburger,” she said.
“Yeah, I guess so. ”
I got out of the car and started to walk next to Heather. Right before we got to the door, I took her arm and stopped her. She turned around and looked me right in the eye.
“Heather, I’m me utterly and completely. ”
“There you are!”
I wanted to cringe when I heard Lynda’s voice. Fuck me.
Heather closed her eyes for two seconds before they snapped back open to look right into mine.
“Thanks for keeping me company. I need to get these to Ari. Excuse me, Lynda. ”
Lynda turned and watched Heather walk inside. I wanted to shout to the top of my lungs right now. Instead, I looked at Lynda and tried to give her my best smile.
“So, you went to McDonald’s with Heather, huh?. Why didn’t you tell me you were leaving?”
“You were a little busy dancing with Heather’s date. Since you were both occupied with each other, I decided to get some fresh air, and Ari didn’t want Heather walking out here alone. ”
“Really? Well next time, do a girl a favor and let me know. I was freaking out, and I had to ask Ellie. She said she had no idea where you were. Finally, Ari just told me. ”
I almost wanted to laugh, thinking about those two devils playing with Lynda like that.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you, Lynda. Really, I wasn’t even gone twenty minutes. ”
Lynda turned and started to walk back into the building. I rolled my eyes and then followed behind her.
For the first time since I’d started dating her, I felt sick to my stomach at the idea of having to go home with her.
We got back into the reception hall, and I saw Jeff and Gunner both eating cheeseburgers. When I let out a laugh, Lynda turned around.
“What’s so funny?”
“Nothing. I’m gonna walk over and talk to Jeff and Gunner for a bit. ”
“Okay, well, I’m going to run to the ladies room. Be back in a few minutes. ”
I nodded my head and walked away.
If I’m lucky she’ll get lost.
