Pool time was rather enjoyable. We splashed each other and went on slides. We even engaged in some chicken fights. I was a little too good at it, but Nia definitely almost had me.
I was a little rougher with Jack than I was with the other girls and I may have enjoyed it a bit too much when she fell.
Lee and I went to another pool alone.
"So...Jack." I said.
Lee grimaced. "Yeah. I had no clue she'd be here."
"You guys slept together huh?"
"Yeah. But it was like the other girls. It didn't mean much and I just wanted sex. It's hard to get at a family reunion, so when the opportunity arises you just go for it."
"She seems to really be into
"Excuse me?" "Grayson Wrenford. Are you two close?" Roland asked. "Why do you ask?" I questioned. "Well he seems to text and call your phone a lot, from what I see. Why would he blow your phone up like that?" "I'm his parents' scholarship student. They have him check on me, not that it's any of your business." "Does Brandy know how seriously Grayson takes this job?" "He's more than aware. Stop trying to come between us." Roland glared at me. "This is not over Watson." *** I called Grayson when I was sure I had some privacy.
"FUCK!" Lee screamed at the crowd of people. The place looked amazing! There were tacky decorations all over the walls, including a banner that read HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEE."Wh-what is this?" Lee asked, clutching his chest as he looked around."Your surprise party." I smiled. "I planned it for you!""Did you all hear what I said about the quickie?""Yes." They laughed before coming over and wishing him a happy birthday.Lulu rushed over to me. "Oh it looks so good in here!" She exclaimed. "Scarlett, you really killed this!""I couldn't have done it without you, babe." I kissed her cheek. "Did he look surprised?""Um de
Before I could respond, Reginald had approached. "Come on, Windsor. I'll race you on the obstacle course!" He pulled him away as I stood there frozen."What's going on?" Analeigh asked me."Lee just told me he loved me." I said blankly."Holy shit!""Yeah."After a few moments I shook it off. There was no way we could truly discuss this until we were alone, which wouldn't happen for some time.I went outside to watch Lee and Reginald on the obstacle course. Lee looked so happy. I couldn't believe I made that happen.I was so lost in thought, I didn't notice Lee coming over to me until he had already picked me up and thrown me ove
Well I sure made a mess for myself didn't I?In love with two men. Both rich and handsome. Both want to marry me. One knows about my situation and the other knows only a fraction of what's really happening.Scarlett Watson, you're in big trouble.***"Scar? Are you okay?"I looked up and saw Quin. I had been splashing my feet in the water of one of the pools, while contemplating what the hell I was going to do."Um, eh...not really." I admitted."Nervous for the ball?"Tonight Hal would be given Business Man of the Year award and they were having a ball to honor him.
I pulled Lee back before they saw us."What the hell was that?" He hissed."This is gonna sound crazy, but I think they're married. I saw her credit card and the last name said Windsor.""He married my fucking nanny?""To be fair they do seem to be in love." I offered."Yeah I guess." He muttered. "We should get back out there."It was time for dinner now. Lee kept glancing at Hal and Ninette. I wondered if he would ask them about their relationship tomorrow."Brantley I almost forgot, I need you to do a little speech to introduce me." Hal whispered.Lee's eyes widened. "F
What just happened? I took a few more moments to catch my breath and then got ready to go back. I knew Lee would be looking for me. I spotted him immediately. "There you are baby. Feel better?" He kissed me. "Oh yeah. I really needed that air." "There's so many more people to meet tonight. Hope that's okay." "Oh it's fine!" I waved my hand. "Woah, babe what happened to your wrist?" I looked down and saw it had started to bruise. "I'm just the clumsiest bitch. I was in the garden and I tripped on my heels. My wrist kinda broke my fall."
“Um...I don’t understand, Holly.”“Look I get it okay. Lee is very rich and handsome and he can give you things other boys your age can’t. He’s also very insecure and looking for someone to care about him, which I’m sure you do to an extent. But it’s not fair to him for you to continue this relationship, wanting to get something in return. So how much money will make you leave him now instead of stringing him along? Two million?”“Holly, no. I’m not with Lee for money.
I spent the rest of the yacht trip on the deck. I didn’t feel like eating or drinking or talking to anyone.My phone buzzed furiously in my purse. At first I was going to ignore it, but then I saw that it was Grayson.“Hey Gray.” I answered.“You sound sad.” He stated.
