forward by the front door opening, and Grace stood there feeling her entire world come crashing down around her. It was like she was in a dream and tried to turn to leave, but her body wasn’t responding and she couldn’t move. Her heart dropped at the sight of Tyler holding Missy and kissing her the way he had just kissed her last night. She could feel the tears falling down her cheeks.
“Grace, please! This is not what you think! I was leaving to go find you and she showed up here and she kissed me!”
“Tyler you don’t have to explain anything to her. We are getting married and she means nothing,” Missy said, pulling Tyler closer to her body.
“Get off of me already Missy!” He unwrapped himself from her arms and turned, reaching for Grace, but she took a step back. “Don’t do this Grace, please. She means nothing. I want you! I had no idea she was going to show up here!” He felt his heart kick against his chest when he saw the look on Grace’s face and the tears running down her cheeks. He took a step closer, reaching for her again, but she shook her head. She wiped her tears and turned to walk away, leaving him standing on his front porch with Missy standing behind him.
“Just let her go Tyler. You have me. You have everything you need right here,” Missy said. She wrapped her arms around his waist and began kissing his neck.
“Would you stop, and let go of me! We are done, Missy! Get it through your head! What we had is over and is never going to happen again! I don’t love you anymore, and I don’t want to be with you! I want Grace! Just leave already! All you’re doing is fucking this up for me, just like you fucked up my life in California! Go back home and don’t come back here looking for me! It’s over!” He left her standing on the porch with her mouth open in shock as he went after Grace.
It didn’t take him long to get to her house. He saw her car was gone. He hoped maybe one of her sisters had taken it. He needed to tell her that Missy meant nothing to him. Grace was all he wanted and needed. He made it to the front door just as it swung open and Paige stormed out looking like she was ready to kill him.
“What the hell did you do to my sister? Give me two good reasons why I shouldn’t kick you in the balls right now!”
“Where is she? I need to talk to her!”
“I don’t think so! You’ve done enough damage! She came in here in tears! I’ve never seen her like that before! She wouldn’t even talk to me. She just said she was sick
and tired of men like Denny and you taking advantage of her. She was done with all of it and she left. How dare you do this to my sister!” she said, shouting and pushing him, making him stumble on his feet.
“I didn’t do anything, I swear. Missy just showed up! I had no idea she was coming over. She kissed me! I don’t want her, I want Grace. Tell me where she went, please. I need to talk to her and tell her this is one big misunderstanding, and Missy means nothing to me!” The panic was rising in his voice as the seconds passed. He wanted to talk to her and tell her it wasn’t what she saw. Most of all he wanted to stop the hurt she was feeling. It was killing him thinking she was somewhere thinking he didn’t want her. The truth was he wanted her more than he ever wanted another woman in his life.
“I don’t know where she is! And who the hell is Missy?”
“My ex-fiancé. She left me at the altar. She showed up here yesterday and told me she made a mistake and wants me back.”
“Whoa! Your fiancé? That’s who you were with when Grace showed up?”
“Yes, but it’s not what she thinks. I was telling Missy it was over. She kept telling me we were good together, and then she kissed me. I tried pushing her off me, but she kept coming at me and wouldn’t stop.”
“Oh, sure. A strong man can’t get one woman off him? You do know that line never works, right? It only makes you guys look like
