“Wow. Y’all held out a long time. Was it worth the wait?”
Courtney turned back to look at Mitch before looking back at me. She didn’t even need to answer my question. The smile on her face said it all.
“Holy hell, Whit. He’s amazing. I mean…the things he does with his lips. ”
I held my hand up in Courtney’s face. “Ugh! Stop! Oh my God, Court. I won’t ever be able to look at him again. ”
“Really? Like I didn’t feel that way when you told me about the little fun you and Layton had with the vibrator at your back-door party. ”
Just then, someone cleared their throat, and Courtney and I both looked down at a mom sitting there with her two young daughters.
“Really? Can you take this conversation somewhere else?” she asked as she pointed to her girls.
“I’m so sorry. Please excuse us. ” I grabbed Courtney and started making my way up the bleachers toward Layton and Mitch.
I turned and gave Court a dirty look. “Jesus, Courtney! You talk about me being loud. ”
Courtney started laughing.
Before we sat down, I leaned toward her ear and said, “I want to hear all about last night though. ”
She pulled back and smiled as she nodded. Her smile faded as she looked over at Reed and Anna. I turned to see the two of them snuggled together, and Anna was whispering something into Reed’s ear. My heart instantly dropped.
Is Courtney still hung up on Reed? Shit, I hope not since she just slept with Mitch.
As Courtney and I went to sit down between Mitch and Layton, Reed looked up and smiled at Courtney.
He leaned forward and said, “Courtney, this is Anna MacBeth, a friend of ours from high school. She just moved back to town. Anna, this is Courtney Will, Whitley’s best friend, and Mitch’s, um…”
Courtney forced a smile. “Mitch’s girlfriend. ” She glared at Reed before turning toward Anna and smiling. “Hey, Anna. It’s a pleasure to meet you. ”
“Hi, Courtney. How are you liking Llano?” Anna asked as she grabbed Reed’s hand.
I looked back at Courtney, who was now looking down at their hands.
Ah shit, this is not looking good.
“I love it. Some things I could do without though,” Court said as she looked directly at Reed.
Reed snapped his head up and looked at Courtney. He laughed and then turned to Anna and said something to her, causing her to laugh.
I leaned over and hit Layton in the leg. He yelled out.
“Shit, I’m sorry, Layton! Is your leg sore?” I asked.
He was rubbing his leg. He glanced over toward Anna and then back at me. “Yeah…I must have hit it on something. ”
I leaned up and whispered in his ear, “I think we might have a problem. ”
He looked at me with a questioning look. “What?”
“I think Anna might have picked up on the tension between Reed and Court. And, um…Court seems to be slightly jealous even though her and Mitch just slept together last night. ”
Layton pulled his head back and looked at me. “No shit!” he said with a smile on his face.
“Uncle Layton is swearing, and Whitley is telling secrets! I get more ice cream!” Kate called out.
Everyone started laughing.
