All Chapters of My Drop-Dead, Gorgeous Rebound: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

FAE"Yes? Say that again?"I rolled my eyes. "You know it. I’m crazy about you, too. I love you, too. I love you." Then I laughed when he climbed onto the table after pushing me to the center. He kissed me, and I ended up lying down when his weight pressed on me, though he raised himself so it wouldn’t be too much, and his hand pillowed the back of my head against the wood.He kissed me for a long time, tenderly, slowly… and I felt his emotions in his kiss, the strong beating of his heart against my chest, the trembling of his body as he slowly and lazily dry-humped me between my thighs, his hands caressing my cheek. It was all there in his eyes when he lifted his face to smile tenderly at me."I love you, too," he said. "I still can’t believe you beat telling me first.""It’s fine… you beat loving me first.” I caressed his cheek. “Also, thank you. For coming home for me. Thank you for being there when I needed a rebound. Thank you for always being there for me even after that to mak

FAEAs we prepared for the Saturday night party, another issue arose with the evening dress I planned to wear.I really wanted to wear one of the dresses the stylist sent over for the party. They were designs from Tammy Marquez's fashion line. Tammy was the hostess of the party. I loved the floral print with swirls of magenta and lavender. The problem was, it had a deep V-neck in both the front and back. It was sleeveless, made of organza, and had a banded waist. The hem reached my ankles, but there was a slit on the left side that went halfway up my right thigh. I knew I could manage the slit because I’d done it before when Jigo and I went to Invictus II. But the neckline might be too much.When I showed it to him on the hanger, he immediately disapproved, which was annoying because he asked me to put on the evening dress for him in the first place. Like a private showing. And his eyes and his whole face, plus the bulge down there, all told me he liked what he saw.The dress fit me p

SARAH“I can't believe it. I’d watched this so many times but it’s still giving me butterflies!”“I couldn’t believe it either! Who would have thought that our Spencer would finally fall in love like this? Look... he was so sweet and tender with Fae here! Thank goodness there was a video; otherwise, no one would have believed it. He’s always so reserved… but kissing and dancing on the dance floor? I’d never seen that boy act like this before!”“I heard that Donya Leah was restless when she saw the video of her grandson and favorite debutante. She’s been calling her friends and already wants to plan a wedding!”The two women laughed uproariously.“I remember during the wedding, I felt so sorry for that girl because even though it was very hard for her, she chose to be there for Carl and the family. You know, even Carl’s grandparents didn’t come home. But I’m not worried anymore. It’s good that she ended up with Spencer. Spencer is far more handsome and successful than Carl! And she’s s

FAEOur Sunday plans with my friends went through as expected. My friends arrived as early as nine, picked up by Jigo’s driver. After a quick snack, we started showing Joanna, Pam, and Kacey around the property.Thanks to our nightclubbing before, the three were no longer awkward around Jigo. The conversation was lively and loud. They teased us about the pictures from last night’s party going viral on social media, even more so than our clubbing photos, because the press was there. We hadn't checked our social media, but Jigo spoke to the family publicist on the phone earlier so we knew that Lola Leah already heard about it. She saw a video of our moments on the dance floor because many guests recorded it on their personal phones. Jigo needed to schedule a visit to his grandmother before she got impatient for news about her grandson!But we knew we had one more day of impasse before we could proceed with our plan to tell Lola Leah the truth about our relationship. We talked earlier ab

FAEI didn't know how long Carl and I had been staring at each other, but I could imagine what he saw in this scene. All of us, semi-naked, having a good time. I was practically draped over Jigo on the recliner, his long limbs wrapped around me. And, obviously, he saw our kiss. Kisses.In all our years of friendship, this was the first time he had seen me intimate with a man. I had never given any other man more than a passing glance whether Carl was around or not. I suddenly realized that, in Carl’s mind, I was still an innocent twelve-year-old even though I had grown up right before his very eyes.Even now, it was clear that he still saw me as the teenager who only had eyes for him, adored him almost all her life, and gave no other man special attention. Maybe that’s why he looked so shaken up. He was pale, glassy-eyed, and slack-jawed.Because this was the first time he was seeing this version of me… the freed me.I suddenly remembered what Jigo said.Once Carl saw another man shar
