CHAPTER 42

LEAH

Tay

Are we going to talk about the fucking marriage proposal of a karaoke performance my brother did for Le this weekend orrrr?

Me

IDK ummm are we going to talk about the interaction with HOT BOY FITZ at the saloon?

Shane

Ooohh. Tough choice, but I'm gonna have to go with Leah because what the FUCK?! You didn't tell us he was a glasses wearing HOTTIE?!

Lauren

I'm friend-divorcing anyone who calls him hot. I hate him.

Ruby

Is there a possibility for re-marriage in the future? Asking for a friend… hiding emoji

Me

You remember what Mama Loretta says about the line between love and hate, don't you Lu?

Lauren

Just because you fucking catapulted over to the love side, does NOT mean I'm going to. There isn't even a love side with him?! Just a deep abyss of hatred. Are you and Moose getting married or what?! I'm with Tay. That was some next level in-love shit.

Me

I told him I loved him.

Shane

Lauren

I'm passed out on the floor. Bitch, EXPLAIN YO SELF.

Me

I showed up at his game Thursday when meetings ended early. He took me out, we ran into Josh (you guys remember Josh?) Anyways, we yelled at each other in the rain then I told him to take me home (for activities) and… he did.

Lauren

I need to re-hydrate so I can cry more tears.

Ruby

Fucking legendary. Yelling in the rain before sex? That's movie worthy shit right there.

Shane

I think Max might take me to the hospital soon if I don't stop hyperventilating.

Tay

Why isn't this happening over margaritas?!

Me

Because it's seven o'clock on a Monday. You nocturnal ER zombie.

Tay

That's fair. On that note. Goodnight beauties.

Moose

*attachment 1 photo*

My heart stops when I see a photo of a shirtless Sawyer with gray sweatpants on, holding a book in his lap. I click on the photo and zoom in, letting out an audible gasp when I see what he's reading.

Always Mine by Laura Pavlov herself.

Before I can reply he texts me again.

Moose

Hmm… friends since childhood, he gives her a cute little nickname, dude has long hair and is built like a… what was that? A Greek god?? I'm seeing a lot of similarities to us in this book, Dove. Any reason this one is your favorite??

Busted.

Me

Total coincidence I guess. angel emoji

Moose

Suuure. You've always been mine, Dove. I'd say our story is one for the books too.

Me

Happily ever after?

Moose

I thought that was a given. kiss emoji

Someone get a mop because I'm a fucking puddle.
