exactly what Adam and I wanted.
Time flew by. I was fully moved in and Adam was even teaching me how to cook a little. I had gotten back into the writing groove and I would have another book coming out that spring. We were planning to do some research on our honeymoon. Before I knew it, New Year’s had come and gone and the wedding was only a week away. It was time to leave for Vegas.
We met at the airport on Friday morning. One of Braden and Gabrielle’s wedding gifts was chartering a private plane for us. It’s nice to have very wealthy friends. We would spend the afternoon together and dine together and then the guys and the girls would head off separately for a few hours and meet up again later. Our family and our other guests would be following us out Sat. morning. There would be a rehearsal dinner later that night, and then, Sunday at noon … I couldn’t stop smiling.
I looked around at our group while we waited. Cam and Jess were holding hands and laughing with Bruce and Jason, who had finally gotten some time away the hospital. Mark and Beth were having a conversation with Braden and Gabrielle, who was glowing with excitement. Everyone looked so happy, and it made me even happier, if that was possible.
Finally, we were able to board and our Vegas adventure got underway. The flight was five hours long, but the time didn’t drag. We were allowed to move around the cabin, so we gathered around and had fun reminiscing.
“Adam was so put out that Lily was coming along that night to Club 51 and that weekend to my parents’ place,” Braden said.
“But I remember that night at the club,” Gab chimed in. “Adam turned around and saw Lily in that red dress and did a double take.”
“Yeah, and then he went on to say, ‘I didn’t know they let you out at night,” Mark added with a laugh. “He’s such a charmer.”
“And she said, ‘Gentlemen … Adam’,” Gabrielle went on and everyone laughed.
“I was watching him when he put his arm around her to protect her from creepy Cousin Derek,” Jess said. “He was totally loving it!”
“I never said she wasn’t hot,” Adam teased, giving me a sexy smile.
“That whole weekend was like that,” Cam said. “Even though they kept arguing, I thought they were going to hook up that afternoon when they went in at the same time from the pool. There was something about how they were arguing, you know?”
“Yeah! I thought that too,” Mark said. “I was sure Adam was in there getting laid.”
“I almost did,” Adam said smugly.
“How can you be so sure?” I asked stubbornly, crossing my arms.
“For one thing, you’ve never actually denied it,” Adam said. “And for another, we were about two inches apart and moving closer when Gabrielle came up the stairs and you fled into your bedroom.”
“I can’t believe you guys didn’t hook up at that cabin,” Cam said.
“When Jess asked you what the two of you were doing up at 3 AM the look you gave each other was classic,” Gabrielle said.
“Damn interruptions,” Adam grumbled.
‘Tell me about it!” Braden agreed enthusiastically, which made everyone laugh. Braden and Gabrielle had been interrupted many times.
“That night at K2 when Lily saw Adam with that blonde, I thought she was going to crawl out a window,” Bruce said, putting his two cents.
“Bruce,” Jason said reprovingly.
“It’s true. I almost did,” I said, cracking everyone up. “I didn’t want to see him pick up some other woman.”
“He was there to pick you up,” Gabrielle said. “She probably went after him.”
“Did Gabrielle just come to Adam’s defense?” Mark asked incredulously.
“I think so ,” Braden answered.
“I came to his assistance that night,” Gabrielle said. “And I was happy to do it, believe me. He was so freaking miserable by that point that I couldn’t stand it anymore.”
“Nobody in Judge Channing’s courtroom could stand it anymore, honey,” Jess agreed.
