Two days have passed, and I haven't heard from Jessica. I ended up going home after I visited Connor's office to retrieve some boring documents. He had to sort out a lot of other things, so I decided to leave him alone. But I made sure I gave him a long, lingering kiss to show him what he would be missing out on.Mom and Dad invited all of us for dinner. Including Connor, since we were engaged. I can't believe I am saying this. Being engaged to Connor Williams was the last thing I expected to happen.But it felt so...natural. I've known him my entire life, and even though I acted like he was my enemy, I couldn't help but feel attracted to him, and that used to piss me off.But not anymore.Now I just feel warm and giddy all over. All

Connor and I walked into the party after a few hours. I was still in a daze from earlier. It took me forever to get out of bed. Connor had to drag me out."Do I look okay?" I asked him. I needed to look hot in order to show Miranda that she doesn't stand a chance."Beautiful," Connor smiled.There weren't too many people in the apartment. I did recognize a few people from high school and stopped to talk to them. I didn't see the host, Miranda, anywhere."She is upstairs, finishing up something," Sally, who used to be in my math class said. She narrowed her eyes at me. "So you and Connor, huh? I'm not surprised," she grinned.Why do people keep saying it's not shocking? It was shockin

Oh, you've got to be shitting me."What are you doing here?" I tried to hide my frustration, but my voice came out hoarse and irritable."I just got a job at this company! Isn't this great?" she chirped.I'm thinking about many words in my head, and 'great' isn't one of them."Now we can spend more time together and catch up," she looked at Connor and smiled flirtatiously.Connor shifted uncomfortably and cleared his throat. "Ah, Miranda. I'm a very busy man. I'm sure we'll be too focused on work to catch up," he said sternly."Yes. This is a place of work, not a house party," I narrowed my eyes so hard that they looked like a slit.

I looked at Miranda and then at Connor. I could only imagine how unpleasant my facial expression must be. Connor, on the other hand, had no clue."Thank you, Miranda. I'll be ready tomorrow," he said."Anything else I can do for you?" Miranda was all smiles. My insides burned."That'll be all," Connor dismissed her. He turned to me after she left. He finally noticed the bitter look on my face and furrowed his eyebrows. "What's wrong?" he asked."What's wrong? Why is the flirty Mctitty going on a trip with you?" I snapped.Connor blinked twice as if to try and register the nickname I gave her. "What?" he asked."Your fangirl Mindy. W

Miranda and I stared at each other from across the table. It was a quiet battle while Connor chewed on his steak, completely oblivious to everything that was happening around him. I could tell she was not happy to see me. Did I ruin her plans of seduction by showing up unannounced? Poor baby."So you just showed up without letting Connor know?" Miranda asked. Her smile looked faker than Kim K's ass."Yes, Miranda. I did. It's what they call a surprise," I bit back with sarcasm."I think it'd be best if you call in the future."Excuse me? Who does she think she is? I tried not to snap, but my jaw tightened. I felt Connor's hand on mine under the table. He gave me a warning look and squeezed my hand as if to tell me not to get angry. So
