“Holy shit! Your father is John Weston Jr.?” Kayla asks in shock.
Grace nods, “Ya, that’s why I’m nervous. He knows about me but he has a family now- a wife and 2 other daughters. I’m just scared of what his response will be to me.”
I interrupt her now, “No matter who he is or what his job is, he’s lucky to have a daughter like you Grace.”
“Damn straight,” Kayla adds.
Grace smiles, “Thanks, I’m really glad I met y’all, you both have come to mean a lot to me.”
I choke up again at her thoughtful words, “We feel the same way.” Kayla and I both hug her now.
“Oh darn, we need to stop this,” Grace says sniffling, “I didn’t mean to put a damper on our girls night. I’m sorry.”
“You didn’t, don’t be sorry. We’re glad you opened up to us. I know there’s more you probably haven’t told us.” The look in her eyes confirms my suspicions. “Know we are always here for you and you can trust us with anything Grace.”
“Thanks,” she whispers quietly.
“Alright let me fix your makeup before we take you to a mirror,” Kayla says. I decide to touch mine up too since I’m blotchy from the tears.
When we finish we walk Grace to the bathroom with Kayla covering her eyes, then we reveal her.
She gasps, “Oh my god, I look… pretty,” she says, as if surprised by the fact.
“Of course you do, you always look beautiful Grace.”
She smiles, “Thanks Julia.” I can tell she doesn’t believe me which makes me sad all over again.
I’m the last one to get dressed, I go in and grab my dress, it’s almost identical to the one Grace borrowed but hot pink. I haven’t had a chance to wear it yet so I’m excited when I put it on. I grab my strappy silver heels, which thankfully aren’t too high because I’m not all that graceful in heels.
The 3 of us stand in front of the mirror, Kayla wraps her arms around Grace and I, “We look fucking hot ladies!”
I giggle and have to agree, we clean up good.
Kayla looks over at me with a smirk, “How much you wanna bet we’re gonna see the Hulk come out when we go downstairs?”
I roll my eyes, “Probably, he’s been pouting all day.” I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little excited for Jaxson to see me. I like it when he gets territorial and tonight I’m ready to test his control again.
“Well then, let’s get this show on the road. I love irritating that guy,” Kayla walks out chuckling.
Sawyer, Cade and I are at the table having a beer. I’m trying to be social but I’m in a pissy mood about Julia going out tonight.
Why can’t their girls’ night consist of staying in the house and watching a movie? I mean, do they need to go to the club? It pisses me off to think of all the guys that will be sniffing around her all night.
It’s been a long fucking week being around her constantly and not burying myself inside her like I want to. I haven’t whacked off this much since I was 14 years old. I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to be able to hold off.
Suddenly Sawyer’s eyes bug out of his head as he looks at something behind me, “Holy shit!”
A feeling of dread creeps in my stomach. I turn around slowly and look behind me to see the girls walking into the kitchen. My gaze zeroes in on Julia and I suck in a sharp breath at the site of her. My dick spikes along with my temper, “What the fuck are you wearing?”
She narrows her eyes at me, “It’s called a dress, haven’t you ever seen one before?”
“You’re not leaving looking like that.” Shit, I didn’t mean to have it come out quite like that.
She scoffs but before she can respond Kayla jumps in, “Easy there Hulk, we don’t want things going smash!”
The girls chuckle in unison like it’s some private joke. Sawyer joins too, although he’s laughing hysterically.
“Well I personally think you girls look fucking incredible.”
“Thank you Sawyer,” Julia responds sweetly while she glares at me.
What an asshole.
“Guys this is Kayla, Cooper’s fiancée,” Julia beams as she says fiancée.
Sawyer smiles, “Ah yes the famous fiancée. Heard you girls had quite the night last night.”
Julia and Kayla groan in unison.
Julia points to Grace now, “And ya’ll remember Grace.”
Cade nods and Sawyer lays on the charm, “Of course, I never forget a beautiful woman. How are you doing Grace?”
“Fine thank you,” she responds quietly without looking at Sawyer, which pisses him off. His torment slightly eases my shitty mood until I look at Julia again.
“Will you stop glaring at me?”
I glare harder.
“Whatever,” she mumbles then looks over at Kayla, “want to go wait outside? The cab should be here soon.”
What the hell? “I told you I’d drive you there.”
“And I said no thank you.”
“Why the hell not?”
Kayla pipes up, “Because if you take us they won’t let us in after the scene you will cause.” She follows up her comment with a shitty impersonation: “Hulk like Julia. Hulk smash anyone who look at Julia.”
Sawyer laughs hysterically again, “I fucking love this girl!” To which all the girls burst out laughing at.
Whatever!
“See ya later boys, have a good night!” Julia blows me a kiss over her shoulder as she walks out.
I seriously consider hauling her sweet ass upstairs and fucking the sass right out of her.
Shit! I throw my chair into the wall and start pacing. What the hell am I going to do?
“You bring this shit on yourself, you know that right?” Sawyer asks breaking through my thoughts.
I glare at him, “It’s not that simple. I care more about her than I do about fucking her.”
“Actually, it is that simple, take both. It doesn’t have to be one or the other you idiot.”
“Lay off him, I get it,” Cade says stepping in.
Sawyer grunts, “Of course you get it. You’re a fucking idiot too. I tell you boys if I had women like Faith and Julia after me I wouldn’t be fucking it up like you dumb asses. I’d be fucking them all night long,” he says smugly, which both Cade and I nail him for.
