A Not So Meet Cute

Everyone needs both a strong start and a boost from time to time

My gorgeous, sexy, incredible girl. Life will never be boring with this spitfire by my side. Rainy days will never be dismal. Life will be fun, adventurous, crazy, and better than I ever thought life could be. Better than I ever deserved

My girl wants a burger, she’s going to get one

Lottie turns to Angela. “So not nice to see you again. Take care, Angela

“I’m kind of over this. Want to go grab a burger?”

I smirk. “Care to fly to Portland? I’m craving Killer Burger.”

Oh, and hey, sorry to hear about your top two sponsors pulling out of advertising. That must have been hard.”

Angela’s frown deepens.

“I know how hard it was to keep those accounts happy, as it was always me ensuring they had everything they ever needed. Such a shame, but, hey”—Lottie winks—“at least you’re saving money when it comes to hiring mediocre employees.”

That frown grows even more.

“Did you happen to see Kelsey and I are in business now? We just signed a one-million-dollar contract with Dave Toney. We’re in way over our heads and plan on hiring quite a few hands to help us get the job done. Don’t worry, though, we’ll keep the mediocre employees at your disposal. We only want the best so we pay them what they deserve. Anyway”

“But thank you for thinking so kindly of me.”

“Oh, how exciting.” Angela perks up, clearly missing the mark that she’s not invited. “Should I book my flight now?”

Really, really obtuse.

“No, that’s okay. We’ll be fine getting married without you.”

She frowns. “Lottie, I’m your best friend.”

“Nope, that’s not accurate.”

Angela’s eyes land on it and she has a very hard time masking her emotions as jealousy rips through her. “Sorry about that PDA, but my girl is stunning in this dress and I can’t seem to keep my hands off her. She made me swear I wouldn’t ruin her hair and makeup. I think I did a good job of that in the car, don’t you?”

Her eyes narrow but then she must realize she has to put on a show, because she straightens up and leans against her man, who is, unfortunately for Angela, checking out another woman.

“Oh, yes, Brad and I had a hard time controlling ourselves in the car as well. The man is horny all the time.”

“Oh, Lottie,” Angela says, placing her hand on her chest. I watch as her eyes rake over my fiancée. Her lips turn down, and I know right then and there, she’s jealous
