grabbed her suitcase, gave him a ‘go to hell’ look and slipped out.
Damon wasn’t the only lustful one. Apparently Matt was too.
CHAPTER SIX
Erica wasn’t in the room when Bethany finally got the door open. Cold air hit her in the face as she walked into her room, the layout mimicking Matt and Damon’s room. Erica had taken the bed far from the door from what she could tell. It almost seemed odd not to be rooming with her mom, but with her Aunt Patty coming later that day, she wasn’t surprised. Her mom rarely got to spend much time with her younger sister. This would be good for both of them.
Bethany checked her phone and smiled, a message waiting on her from Damon.
Damon: Have fun for me. Text me when you get there and I’ll call you tonight.
Bethany: I’m here. It’s beautiful and you’re sorely missed.
Damon: Matt losing his shit over Erica yet?
Bethany: How did you guess?
Damon: Welcome to my world. I’ll call you tonight, baby. Be in your room by nine.
Bethany: So bossy.
Damon: I am your boss, and your man. 9 on the dot.
Bethany: Yes Sir.
She shook her head and searched high and low for a plug for her phone. At least he was responding today. The audit had to be taking his full attention, so his willingness to give her a few seconds meant a lot. She needed to quit picking apart their relationship before it even began.
A knock at her door caused her to jolt. She turned and walked to it quickly, pulling it open and smiling as her mother turned in a full circle.
“Like my new sundress?”
“It’s beautiful mom. Looks great on you.”
The white dress with large yellow flowers looked really good on her mother, but the smile was what pulled it all together and left her looking beautiful.
“Aunt Patty here yet?”
“Nope. She will be here by two though. We’re meeting at one in the large wedding hall on the south end of the resort. I just wanted to stop by to tell you to be there.”
“Will do. I’m going to unpack and I’ll come find you guys. Make sure you tell Matt. He needs to get out and be around other people. He’s a nervous ninny.”
“Crazy how different he and Damon are.” She glanced down the hall and waved, Erica walking toward them. “Speaking of, have you spoken to Damon?”
“We talked a minute ago. I told him we missed him and he told me to have fun.”
“Great advice.” Erica stopped in front of them and ran her hand down Bethany’s mother’s arm. “You look lovely.”
“Thank you, ma’am. A gift from my beau.”
“I want one.” Erica let out a soft sigh and shrugged her shoulders. The blond was a bombshell. It was no wonder Matt was overwhelmed by her. Her white pantsuit fit her athletic frame exceptionally well. It accented her dark blond hair and vibrant blue eyes. She should be on the front of the latest magazine… not Damon’s ex.
Remember to check that magazine out later.
“You want a sundress or a man?” Bethany’s mom asked and chuckled.
“Both?” Erica smiled and turned her attention to Bethany. “You like the room? We can totally switch beds if you want. I just grabbed one.”
“I’m good actually.” Bethany moved back to open the door. “You guys come in here. I just realized I was blocking the entrance.”
“I’m good. Just wanted to show you the dress. I’ll see you at one. Bring Erica with you if she’s done with her business stuff.”
“Will do.” Bethany leaned out the door and gave her mom a quick hug before the older woman walked off, twirling once more.
“Where are we going at one?” Erica walked into the room and sat down on her bed, tugging her heels off.
“They are decorating at one. You don’t have to go if you don’t want to. It’s probably going to be a lot of me getting in the way. I can’t color a picture right much less decorate for a wedding.” Bethany shrugged and moved toward the large floor-to-ceiling glass doors at the back of the room.
“I love decorating. Anything
