"He was waiting up for me, you needed to have seen his face." I am currently spilling last night's details to Wilder, couldn't find Meghan this morning and I needed someone to share my excitement with.
"Thanks." Wilder winks at the waitress as she drops coffee on the table. She blushes shyly
"You are perfect." He whispered into my ears convincingly, like that's what he really thought of me.I am far from perfect, that I know."I feel like punching the hell out of Cole for making you feel less." I don't know why but I let out a chuckle. It is amusing seeing Wilder like this, almost weird even.
"So tell me now Ivy, do you think I am a good guy now?" My lips pressed in a thin line because, for the first time, I didn't know what to say to Wilder.I don't want to believe he cheated, the way he talked about her, you can tell he adored her and I can't imagine the guilt he is holding on to. He thinks he killed his unborn child, he must hate himself.
"What do you think about the guy at the end?" I didn't even bother checking, my eyes glued to my phone."Hot," I muttered, tapping on my phone to prevent it from going off."Hot? Girl are you blind, that dude ain't..." Meghan stopped talking, so I looked up to see why.
Head ache-free, fresh out of the shower, seated outside my hotel room which accompanies a great view, reading my favorite novel of all time with a cup of coffee on the coffee table beside me, I can tell that today will definitely be a good day.Although it started on an embarrassing note, with Wilder who didn't fail to mock me till I left his room.
I wandered the halls of the hotel trying to cool off when I spotted Wilder seated at the lounge pressing his phone. I sneaked up to him from behind and stopped to look into his phone before announcing my presence. Surprisingly, the picture he is staring at looked familiar.Wait, is that me?I was clearly as
"Don't jump." I joked. Wilder has been standing at the edge of the mountain for a while now and I have no idea what he is thinking. Everywhere has been silent for over 20 minutes so I decided to break the ice. "Don't worry, I won't give you pleasure." He turned to my direction back to his position. I didn't understand what he meant by that statement or maybe it's a joke, like always.
"Don't jump." I joked. Wilder has been standing at "How did you really get that scar?" I don't believe the sleep walking story and idiots are ones that will believes the saving some kid in middle school story.
We both walked back to the hotel room in silence, no one said a word, I don't think we know how to start. I opened the door, stepping inside and walked over the the bed to remove my sneakers that were hurting my feet.I let out a breath of relief, as I placed my sneakers at the corner of the room, walking past Cole who has been pacing.
"Mum's going to flip when she finds out that her two daughters are getting a divorce." Lili mocks as she drags her luggage behind her sister."Tell me about it, the nonexistent demons behind our failed marriages will have their ears full." Ivy drops her bag on the doorstep before she rings the doorbell.
Ivy snuggles under a big blanket as she buries her face on a pillow. Her cheeks red, her face puffy, her eyes dry, she's already tired of crying.She hears the door of her hotel room open, making her lift her head. "Go away!" She yells."How dare you ditch us? This is the worst bachelorette ever, even Lucy is getting cold feet about getting married." Lili yells as she walks
PRESENT DAYIvy walks inside her room and heads over to the closet, she opens it and brings out her suitcase. She starts throwing clothes in when the door opens revealing a nervous-looking Cole. Anyone in his position will be equally nervous, his wife just caught him with his lover and now she is packing her things.
"I have news." Meghan squeals as she enters Ivy's room. Ivy sits up from her bed to see why her friend is so happy."I'm trying to sleep," Ivy grumbled as Meghan jumps on her bed."Well don't, there's big news."
"This party is boring," Lucy grumbles staring at the male stripper on the stage of the bar trying so hard to be sexy, which is cringe. "Where is everyone?" She turns to Lucy whose eyes are glued to her phone."Probably waiting for your next bachelorette." Lucy mocks."Are you making fun of me like the rest?" Lucy glares at her best friend, who knows the reason fo
"Did I mention that you look beautiful?" Harvey takes Meghan's hand into his. They are both in his car, about to drive off for their date."Only 3 times, but you can continue." Meghan smiles. For these past few days, Harvey has made her feel happy and appreciated and she can't remember when she had felt that with a man. He is different from her other baby daddies and it scares her, she is used to the assholes.
"I love you Goddamn it."Ivy lets out a sharp breath, her heart pounding so hard that she swears can hear it beat. Her brain is on shut down, it prevents her from having to process his words and hence she has no reply.Wilder feels that a huge weight should be lifted off him, he has been wanting to express his feelings for her for years but wh

"I know you are avoiding me," Ivy speaks up after a few seconds of uncomfortable silence."And why would I do that?" Wilder gives a mischievous smile just to cover up the fast heartbeat which is a result of being in close proximity to her."I don't know, you probably heard my conversation with Meghan."
