Ugh, this is the night from hell already.
I take out my phone and text Dylan.
Missed seeing you today
I wait for a reply, but it doesn’t come. He must be busy.
I really did miss him today, and I smile as I picture his beautiful face. Maybe I should call and ask him to come and pick me up, would that be weird?
Rodney and his mom chat happily in the front seat, and I stare out the window as we drive along.
I have this sick sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach, I’m feeling guilty for not telling Dylan I was coming here tonight, but I didn’t want him to think the worst. I wouldn’t be happy if he was going to a wedding with his ex.
Fucks sake.
Why is Mary in the damn car?
“The church service is private,” Rodney says.
“Oh, is it?” I reply, distracted. I’m trolling my brain for a plan.
This is not going how I want it to, it’s a nightmare.
“Yeah, only the bridal party and their parents are attending. We are going straight to the reception hall,” he replies.
“Okay, that’s different.”
Good for them, doing what they want to do. An intimate wedding would be nice.
“Rodney told me the exciting news.” Mary smiles over at me from the front seat.
“What news?” I ask.
“That you two are getting back together,” she gushes in an over excited way. “The future is so bright for you two.”
“What?” My eyes flick to Rodney in the rearview mirror, and he winks.
“Oh….. that’s.” Words fail me. Fuck, all I’ve wanted is for this to happen and now that it is, it’s my worst nightmare. “Rodney and I are just good friends,” I tell her.
“Yeah right,” Rodney laughs, “If you say so.”
“Rodney…..”
“We were always getting back together, babe,” he cuts me off. “Like you said, it was just a break,” he says as he drives along.
“It’s been a long time and things between us have changed.” I fake a smile, take a hint asshole.
“You missed me, I know you did.” He winks all playful like again.
I did…. but now, I don’t.
Awkward.
What do I do? If I tell him now in front of his mother, I look like a raving bitch.
Shit.
“Zoe is playing hard to get tonight, Mom.” Rodney smiles over at her and then his eyes flick back to me. “It’s kind of a turn on, actually.”
