I heard a grunt in the bathroom and turned my eyes suspiciously to the door. What the hell?

The door opened after another minute and Jen came out, a devilish smile on her made up lips. “Hey, Elly. Sorry about that.”

I tried to hide my frown as I opened the door and I gasped as my eyes met with Kent’s, his hands on his pants.

“Oh, sorry!” I retreated and stood outside the door, waiting for him to vacate.

As I stood there I couldn’t help but replay our night together. He’d had his chance, and he let it slip through his fingers. It had hurt. It still hurt, my heart was still raw. Despite how much I’d changed it wasn’t enough to keep him. He must have really loved Jen. Maybe I wasn’t slutty enough for him. I certainly wouldn’t get on my knees in my wedding dress and give him a blow job at our wedding reception. I couldn’t face him and let him see the hurt on my face. I quickly walked away, there had to be another bathroom somewhere.

The rest of the wedding went rather quickly. I stood at the back of the crowd and watched Jen kiss Kent. And Kent kiss Jen. They kissed an awful lot. They looked as happy as a couple should on their wedding day. I wrapped my arms around myself and forced myself watch the scene before me. I had to tape it to the top of the box that held the romantic Kent memories. He’d had her, he’d had me, and he chose her. That chapter was closed. I needed to move on.

I watched the limo drive away with them in it. And with it went my heart.

Note From Marie

Oh, damn me! I’ve left you with a cliffhanger! I’m so sorry but, as a not-super-popular indie author, I had to get you to read my first in series somehow and still make the $2 on the second book in the series. (Seriously, $2.) Thank you for reading this far and I truly hope you enjoyed my book. I promise the second part (Old Friends) is just as good and does NOT end on a cliffhanger.

I love you!

PS: If the sleep sex scene offended you, I apologize. As the author I know that it was ALL consensual even if it may not have appeared that way on the page. <3
