Rory’s POV “I thought we could also hit up that new trendy restaurant downtown. I heard their food is to die for!” Zoe exclaimed.“That sounds great!” Time spent with Zoe was always so joyful. She made me realize that life wasn't just about romance; friendship was just as important.We listened to music and drove through the streets until we came across the market. It was cute with lots of little stands and people selling home made items. I was really excited.Zoe and I explored and looked through all the little shops at the things for sale. I found several cute items I wanted for the house.“Look at this mini little chandelier!” I cried out, turning to find Zoe.She turned and looked at me. “That’s adorable, I think you should put that in the bedroom,” she suggested.I nodded and swiftly handed the man some money. I found a few more things and a nice shirt for Scott. I wasn’t sure if it was the kind of thing he would wear, b

Rory’s POVI woke to Zoe knocking wildly on the door. I groaned and threw my pillow over my head. “There are no classes today. Go away,” I shouted tiredly. I could hear Zoe giggling from the other side of the door. “Come on! We have plans today!” Zoe exclaimed. She pushed open the door, no longer caring about my objections. “What plans?” I asked, not moving from my position. “Shopping plans. But I thought we’d get our hair and makeup done,” she announced. I finally sat up. She was beaming with excitement. I looked at her and I could feel the blood rushing to my face and the flashback setting in. “What is it?” she asked. She seemed concerned but not deterred from her determination. I sighed. There was no point in hiding things from her. She already knew me too well. “It’s just the last few times I did this kind of shopping and outing was with Needy, and it didn’t turn out so well,” I explained. “She let me go through her closet and pick out what I liked and then we we

Scott’s POVQuickly, though, Needy’s sweetness faded and her bitter side came out. “I’m so tired of you running out on me for her,” Needy said.“What are you talking about?” I asked, looking up at her. I was utterly confused. I had so much on my mind with business issues, and Rory was always on my mind.“You’re going to see her, aren’t you? It’s always about her!”With Needy’s sneering tone, I knew exactly who she was talking about.“Look, Needy, you know you’re my best girl and I love you with all my heart.”“Bull,” she said. “I’m not some simpering child you can placate. She’s my age, Dad. Don’t you feel a little yucked out by that?”“I think you’re the one who feels yucked out,” I said. “I wish it could be different and I could placate you somehow, but this behavior is really getting old.”“See, this is what I’m talking about.” Needy lifted her hands palms up as if to say voila.“No, you don’t get to reduce explanations to a few words and a gesture,” I said firmly. “You’r

Rory’s POVAs Scott and I made our rounds, people’s expressions changed. He was so handsome in his Armani suit, his hair back from his face, and his smile all for me.The tension faded away and I could tell people were starting to change their opinion just because Scott was by my side. It didn’t make much sense to me, but I would remember the voices and faces of those who’d scorned me because of Nicola's earlier antics.I wouldn’t say anything to Scott. He was a smart man. He could gauge the feel of a room faster than anyone I knew. His intelligence was one of the main characteristics that drew me to him.“You make such a lovely couple,” one of the women who’d whispered behind her hand about me earlier said with a beaming smile. She wasn’t talking to me. Her eyes were all for Scott as she reached out a hand to clasp his.“Thank you,” he said graciously.I simply smiled at her; my eyes filled with glaciers. I had nothing to say to someone who changed their opinion so easily.“I

Rory’s POVA part of me wasn’t shocked at the revelation of Needy and Justin’s relationship. I was a little hurt. Needy knew what Justin was. She’d watched me mourn the ending of our relationship.“I thought you’d be more upset about this,” Needy said, washing her hands.“I’m sorry to disappoint. Why did you really do this?” I asked, wondering at Needy’s motives. Surely, she didn’t think this was going to make me leave Scott. This just cemented my resolve. I’d made the better choice.“I just figured you’d care more about it than you do,” Needy said with a shrug.“So, you wanted to hurt me?” I asked, feeling upset at her motives.“Sure, I did. Didn’t you mean to hurt me when you started sleeping with Daddy behind my back?”“You were never even a blip on my radar,” I lied without a blink of an eye, and I was gratified to see her flinch. “I’ve always loved Scott. I wasn’t trying to hurt you. I’m in love with him, and when I’m with him it isn’t about anyone else but us. I feel sor
