I laughed.
“I’m serious, Penny.”
“I don’t fit in anything else. This dress is stretchy.”
“What about the dress you wore last weekend?”
I stared at him. “Exactly. I just wore it last weekend.”
He shook his head. “I’ll buy you a million stretchy dresses tomorrow.”
I loved when he was overprotective of me. This jealous side of him made me want him all over again. And we’d literally just had sex an hour ago. I grabbed his face in my hands and tilted it down toward me. “It’s just a silly bachelorette party. People do stuff at bachelorette parties they regret because they drinktoo much.” I let go of his face and touched my stomach. “I’m pregnant. So I won’t be partaking in that. Which means you have nothing to worry about. I’m the one that should be worried about you.”
He smiled down at me. “Nothing could ever tempt me away from you.”
“Are there going to be strippers?”
He laughed. “Probably. It’s Rob.”
So true.If Rob went that over the top for the proposal and the bridal party-posal, he was definitely going to have strippers at his bachelor party. “See. I’m the one that should be nervous.”
“You don’t think there will be strippers at the bachelorette party too? You are adorably, naïve, Penny.”
I laughed. “Daphne doesn’t seem like the stripper type.”
“Doesn’t Justin though?”
I pressed my lips together. He had a really good point there. “I still don’t know why Justin wanted to come to this. You’d think partying the night before the wedding would just make tomorrow more stressful. Aren’t there last-minute things he should be doing?”
“When I talked to Rob yesterday, he said everything was already set. They really pulled this shotgun wedding off.”
I laughed. “Daphne isn’t pregnant. They’re just in love.”
“Oh, she’s definitely pregnant.”
“No way. I’m winning that bet. Although…I said if you won that you’d have to use your charm to make her like me. And clearly she already likes me. So I get to change my terms.”
“I don’t know…”
I slapped his arm. “Yes I do. And I get to tell you what I want later, just like you do.”
“None of that matters. Because my soon-to-be sister-in-law is most definitely knocked up.”
“You’re ridiculous.”
“Maybe so.” He pulled me in close. “I’m going to miss you tonight.”
I’m pretty sure the last night I spent alone without him was the night before our wedding a few months ago. I’d had a little slumber party with my bridesmaids. Daphne had so much fun at mine that she wanted to do it all over again. So I wouldn’t get to sleep in my husband’s arms tonight. “I’m going to miss you too. Maybe we can sneak away like we did the night before our wedding.”
“Hmm…” he leaned down and placed a soft kiss against my lips. “Keep your phone on you. I’ll figure something out. But I have to get going…the limo is probably already downstairs.”
“You never told me what you planned for tonight,” I said as James pulled on his leather jacket. God, I loved that jacket.And I hated any woman who saw him in it tonight. He was droolworthy.
“That’s because I didn’t plan it.”
“But you’re the best man…”
“I know. But Justin called me and insisted he had the whole thing already planned out. He just said to get in the limo and the itinerary would be waiting for me.”
