“I’ll catch a cab” I groaned when h the pain

“Okay darling, you be careful, and ill see you soon”

“Thanks mama”

“There’s no fucking way you’re going to the airport alone,” said Grady “Get your stuff packed while I call a cab”

He patted entle one of his own

Reid

The Hotel Room, Cabo

Kennedy scowled atroo Dane hispering so to her, but looked at me as soon as he heard the door shut

“Well?” Asked Kennedy, folding her arms across her chest “Did you talk to her?”

“Yeah,” I replied, restingStella”

“Seriously, Reid? Is all that sex with Stella fucking with your head?” Kennedy flung her arm out and pointed in the direction of the bedrooirlfriend, Stella “You know Jade better than her fucking parents do, and you honestly believe she’d lift her hands to someone?”

“Kitten, cal Kennedy’s back

“NO!” She cried, snapping her head towards him “Stella lied, and Reid refuses to see it! We saw her straddling Jade, trying to hit her!”

“I know, baby,” he kisses her forehead “Just calm down, okay?”

He looked at her adoringly, and I felt a pang in my chest That was how a man was supposed to look at the wo her It’s how I looked at Jade when she wasn’t looking

I’d never looked at Stella that way, not once, and despite what Kennedy and Dane believed, I had yet to have sex with her Every ti myself to do it, so I always h, Stella had been acting a little crazier, reed to stay away froedFuck knohy I listened because I was fucking miserable without Jade in my life

Then as I still with Stella?

When I ith her, I wasn’t so obsessed with Jade, and I found some semblance of reprieve from the constant throb in my chest

“Go take a shower and climb into bed,” Dane told Kennedy “I’ll be there soon”

Kennedy turned her angry, watery glare in my direction one last time, and then skulked off to their bedroom
