Page 34 of Her Big Fat Dreamy Billionaire Ex

The more he thought about it, the more it appealed to him. “Yes, the bus will get back around six.”

“You know, I’d really like that,” Harold said. “What time does the bus leave? We need to change.”

Grams shot Aiden a desperate look.

He stuffed his hands in his pockets. Grams couldn’t say anything because this was her fault. She’d just have to accept it. “I think they leave after lunch, so you should have some time.”

His grandmother glared at him while Harold nodded. He seemed thrilled to get an excursion for free.

Aiden took a step toward the back room. “I’ll go get you some tickets.”

He walked down the hallway to the office. The extra excursion tickets were in the top drawer. He pulled two out and wrote in the date and time. On his way back, he bumped into Grams.

“What are you doing?” she whispered.

He shrugged. “If Felicity wants to date this yahoo, I’m not going to stand in her way.” He pushed his way past her and into the family room. He handed Harold the tickets. “Here you go.”

Harold grinned. “Thanks.”

Grams glided across the room. “It was nice meeting you, darling.” She swept Harold into a hug before doing the same to Felicity. She put her arms around the two of them as she guided them to the door. What was she up to? She was acting weird. She doted on them a few minutes before sliding open the glass door and practically shoving them out.

After they left, Grams turned to him. “You have to fix this mess.”

Aiden ran a hand through his hair and sighed. “Fix what? Felicity and I are not a couple, Grams.”

He’d figured his grandmother would balk at this, or maybe object. Instead, she pressed her lips together and poked him in the chest with her index finger. “You love her. Don’t try to deny it. I can see it in your eyes. You’ve loved her for years. Now that I’ve finally got her here, you have to win her back.”

And there it was. His grandmother was delusional. He knew all along Grams was playing some kind of game with bringing Felicity here, but she hadn’t come out and said it like that. What was he supposed to say to her? He loved his grandmother to death, but he wasn’t getting back together with Felicity. He tried a different tactic. “What do you want me to do? Go on the excursion with them? How awkward would that be?”

“Not very awkward.” Grams held up a key card, a wicked grin on her face. “I have a feeling Harold is going to miss the bus.”

Chapter 12

Felicity rushed tochange out of her swimsuit and wash the sand from between her toes. Going on the excursion with Harold was just what she needed to get her mind off Aiden. After she slipped on a pair of jeans and a top, a knock sounded.

She walked into the living room and opened the door. Harold stood there, patting his pockets.
