she bit her lip. Then he laughed out loud, causing her to giggle uncontrollably. “I told you it was a dumb question!”
“ It’s not! I just never had a girl ask me that.”
“ I just don’t know if I should dress dressy or casual or dressy casual. I’m freaking out!” She threw her hands over her mouth, her cheeks so red that he was pretty sure he felt the heat from them. He sat up, crossing his legs so he could sit in front of her. He took her hands off her mouth, kissing her palms before kissing her lips sweetly. He brought his hands up, cupping her face gently.
“ You don’t need to freak out about me, I’m easy going.” She just nodded, looking dazed. He loved that look on her. “I’m probably going to be dressy since we are going to PF Changs.”
“ Okay,” she almost whispered.
“ Now, come here, give me some more of them kisses.” She bit her lip before he covered her mouth with him.
If everyday had Elli’s kisses in them, his life would be complete.
When Shea dropped Elli off at the studio, they kissed goodbye in the truck since she had clients inside. She didn’t want to leave, but had to and promised to call him later. When she went in, Harper was sitting at the computer with Liz and her daughter, Aslynn.
“ Hello, all!” Elli gushed as she hugged Liz, then Aslynn. Harper looked at her with a ‘what the hell’ look, as Liz gushed on how good Elli looked.
“ My goodness, has your momma seen you lately? You’re glowing!”
“ Oh, thank you, Liz”
“ You really are, Ms. Elli,” Aslynn added. Elli blushed as Harper giggled.
“ She’s seeing someone, ain’t you El?” Elli’s smiled dropped, why would she say that? Especially in front of Liz Martin! Her momma’s every-other-day-best-friend!
“ Harper!” Elli said with a glare. As soon as Harper realized what she did, she looked towards the computer.
“ Oh really! How awesome! Who is he? Please say he is better than that dumb ass Justin you were dating!”
Oh, yeah, he is.
“ You know Elli, Justin is dating my cousin Annalisa. She is so ugly! I don’t know why he left you.”
“ I left him,” Elli said, but it didn’t matter because on went Liz and Aslynn about dumb ass Justin. Gossip is what make these Southern states run. “How do the pictures look?”
“ Perfect!” Aslynn gushed. She was so pretty. Bright blonde hair, big breasts, big blue eyes, she was gorgeous, and young at only seventeen.
“ Wonderful. If y’all would excuse me, I got some paperwork to tend to.”
Harper came into the office after Liz and Aslynn had left. She sat down in front of Elli with a sheepish look on her face. Elli knew Harper thought she was mad, but she wasn’t. Harper sat down, pulling her knees up to under her chin, and looked over at Elli.
“ Are you mad at me?”
“ I’m not mad. Just worried about what my mom will say when she finds out.”
“ Just don’t answer the phone.”
“ Yeah. I guess.”
“ I’m sorry.” Elli looked up at her, a small smile on her lips.
“ It’s okay.”
Harper smiled big, letting her legs fall back to the ground. That’s how Elli knew she was really sorry. She always brought her legs up to her chest, like she was protecting her heart or something.
“ So you wanna go to dinner before the wedding?”
“ Actually, I need to go shopping. I have a date tomorrow,” Elli said with a big grin.
“ Wow, so how many times have you been out with him?”
“ Tomorrow will be four.” Elli took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. “He’s amazing”
“ And hot, but I hope you’re not falling for him, El. Guys like him are good for one thing and one thing only,” Elli looked at Harper with what felt like a sullen look because she knew what Harper was about to say “and that’s to fuck, so watch it. He’s a cool dude, but don’t give him your heart, just have fun.”
“ You feel like that about Jakob?”
“ Jakob is different.”
“ How?”
“ I
