Wanted (73 page)

Ellie was crying as she was saying goodbye to Grams. They had become so close and had been sneaking off all day yesterday with Ari and the puppy….
I’m
sure they were already talking about the wedding. Grams whispered something into Ellie’s ear that caused Ellie to blush. She quickly looked over at me and smiled. I don’t think I could ever be so fucking happy. Nothing would ever top this feeling.

JUNE
……

“Gunner….dude you need to settle down. It’s all going to be okay, trust me….come on.” Brad handed me a beer and led me out to the deck that over looked Lake Travis. I didn’t want a bachelor party so a few of the guys decided some male bonding up at Brad’s parent’s lake house would do the trick.
Gus took his normal position at my feet. I was surprised Ellie let him come with me and not her. She fucking loved this dog and he loved her just as much if not more!

Ellie and the girls were at Ari’s parent’s
lake house which was actually two
miles up the road. All I wanted to do was talk to Ellie. We were getting married in three days and I was a fucking nervous wreck. We were leaving tomorrow for the ranch. Ellie seemed so calm. Ari, Amanda and Heather were amazing friends to Ellie. They were handling so much of the planning for Ellie
and were in constant contact with Jenny who we were using as the wedding planner. It helped Ellie not to stress to
o
much so she could finish up school.

The only real break she took from school was for Brad and Amanda’s wedding on
Valentine’s Day
and spring break when we
all
headed to the ranch. Jeff and I spent most of spring break getting
his property ready for the
horse staples
he was having built
this
summer.
He was going to tear the small ranch house down and start from scratch by building something bigger.
He thought Ari wanted something big but turns out she is just a simple country girl at heart
and wanted a simple ranch style home. They would stay in the existing house until they built their house
. Jeff and I had both been putting in a shit ton of hours at the firm where we had been interning for the last two years. I’m still surprised they aske
d us to stay on as consultants.

Fuck just sitting here and relaxing felt great. Graduation was over and now the wedding. Jeff came walking out and slapped me on the back as he ran his hand through his hair. He sat down and let out a sigh.

“She still pissed?” I asked as Jeff took a drink from his beer.

“Yep……god she has me all tied up in fucking knots!”

Brad and I just laughed. Ari was not speaking to Jeff ever since graduation night when he failed to pop the big question. Little did she know he was asking her the night of our
wedding.
He had Jenny working on the side taking care of it.
I thought it was pretty cool he was going to ask Ari to marry him in the same cabin as I asked Ellie. Grams said it was a good sign.
Ellie and I were going to be living in the cabin until we could get a house of our own built.

“Did you even acknowledge to her that you knew why she was upset?” Brad asked with a laugh.

“No….she’
s so pissed and just started c
alling me a mother fucking
dick
wad
for no reason when we got back to her place so I just left and came home.”

“DAMN dude…..no wonder she’
s pissed at you. Yo
u better
make it up when you do ask her this weekend.” Brad said as he tipped
his beer back and finished it.

“Shit…
…I think I’
ll text her.”

Jeff sat there and typed out a text message to Ari as Brad and I talked about some last minute shit that needed to be done before the wedding.

“There! I just sent her a text telling her I knew why she was upset and tha
t I wanted to wait until after Ellie’s
wedding.
She just doesn’t know it will be the night of the wedding!”

Jeff’
s cell phone started ringing and he must have thought at first it was going to be Ari.
He pulled it out and frowned when he saw who was calling.

“What do you want Rebecca?” Jeff said with no emotion at all in his voice.

“Well honestly I don’t see what in the hell we would need to meet for lunch for. I have nothing to discuss with you. Fuck I haven’t even seen you since what….last November.”

Just then Jeff dropped the beer that was in his hand and it crashed onto the patio. Beer went everywhere and Brad jumped up!

“What the fuck Jeff!”

Jeff’s face was pale. What the fuck was going on.

“Are you fucking kidding me right now Rebecca? That is impossible
, I saw it and it was not broke
! No you lis
ten to me, you’
re
wrong;
I can’t talk to you now I will call you next week. NO…I will call YOU next week.”

Jeff
sat there for a second stunned.

“Jeff, what the fuck was that all about?”

“Jesus Christ Jeff you look like you are about to throw up! Man
don’t
do it out
here or my parents
will kill me!”

Jeff turned and looked at me and he had tears in his eyes. Oh holy mother fucking shit………..

“She’s pregnant isn’t she?”

CHAPTER FIFTY NINE

E
llie……

“Holy hells bells…..Jesus, Mary and Joseph! I asked you
to keep an eye on her Amanda!”

“Don’t yell at me Ari! She slipp
ed out when I wasn’t looking!!”

“FUCK! That little shit is trying to make her way to Gunner! EVERYONE….spread out! Look for her!”

“Um, Ari…who the hell are you telling to spread out to…it is just you, Amanda and me.”
Heather said with a laugh
.

I started to laugh as I opened the bathroom door. “Um, ladies I just went to the bathroom!”

“Jesus Ellie, stop doing that. I know you are just trying to throw us off you and your fucking horny little self trying to get to Gunner. Once Amanda hear slipped and said he was
two
miles down the road it has been your mission to leave! Do. Not. Lie.
To.
Me!”

“I have no idea what you are talking about
Ari
.”

“For Christ sakes
if she wants to go see Gunner I
say we just take her! We can make a quick trip up there and say hi to the guys and then come back here.” Heather s
aid as she downed another beer.

All three of us turned and stared at Heather. What was going on with her?

“
Ahhh
, are you drunk?” Ari asked as she walked over and took the
empty
beer out of Heather’s hand.

“NO! I’
m not drunk! I was just saying if Ellie wanted to see her fiancé that bad who are we to stop her, that’s all.
Gesh
….”

“Oh holy hell…..”

Why was Ari smiling at Heather that way?

“Why are you looking at me like that Ari?”

“Mother fucker…you want to see Josh DON’T YOU!” Ari practically yelled out.

Amanda jumped up and down and was clapping her hands. “I KNEW you like him! I knew it when I saw y’all dancing at the wedding!”

“Wait…what? You like JOSH Heather??
Since when?
I thought you couldn’t stand him! Oh my god….where I have I been that I didn’t know this!” I could not believe Heather was falling for…
..
.Josh…
..
.playboy Josh!

Heather just blushed and shrugged her shoulders. “He has a certain something that I might find attractive. I don’t know.”

“Well you know, Brad told me that ever since the wedding, Josh has pretty much given up his playboy ways! The guys keep teasing him about losing his touch with the ladies!”

We
all looked at each
other
. Ari raised her eyebrow at me and I looked over at Amanda and then Heather.

“Hey, that
lake house has six
fucking bedrooms….
.
that
is
more than enough for all four us to get laid
…
…” Ari said as she walked over and grabbed her purse. “Come on bitches…
..
let’s go get
some
.
….
Jeff sent me a text and I’ve decided to forgive him and let him make it up to me with sex.
”

“OH MY GOD!
I am not sleeping with JOSH!” Heather screamed.

“Don’t then….
.
all I know is my ass is wanting me some Jefferson
…
…”

“EEEWWW!
OHMY
GOD! That is my brother for fucks sake! GROSS.”

“Come on girls since I’
m the only one who has not been drinking my ass off I will drive.” Amanda said as she grabbed her keys and we made our way over to crash the boy’s party!

Josh opened the door and looked shocked to see the four of standing there. Once he saw Heather he smiled.

“What the hell are y’all doing here? This is a private party.”

“G
et the fuck out of the way
dick
wad
….” Ar
i said as she pushed past Josh.

“Hey Heather, how have you been?” Josh asked Heather in the sweetest way I had ever heard him talk.

“I um, I’
ve been good….feeling a little tipsy but good!”

I thought I heard Josh
mutter fuck
.
The way he was looking at Heather made me smile. If I had to guess I would say he was very interested in our little Heather!

“Where is Jeff?”

“He is sitting out on the deck with Brad and Gunner.”

Ari started making a run for the deck
…
…Jesus
…
…if didn’t know any better I would think she was the one getting married. As we walked up I could see Jeff
erson
running his hands through his hair and Gunner and Brad looked like they both wanted to throw up. What was
going on? Gunner looked up at Ari
and at first frowned….HUH? But then he
saw me and
smiled that beautifu
l melt my panties smile of his.

Ari slid the door open and walked up to the back of Jeff. I noticed Gunner kick Jeff in the leg
…
…almost like he was trying to get him to stop talking. Ari put her hands around Jeff
erson
’s eyes and whispered…
…

“Guess who was feeling a little lonely?” Jeff
erson
flew up out of his chair and looked stunned. What was going on here? Amanda walked over and sat on Brad’s lap as they started to kiss. I looked at each guy, first Brad, then Gunner and then Jeff
erson
. Something was wrong.
Really wrong.
I could see it in
Jeff
erson
’s face. He shook his head at me as if to tell me to leave it alone. Gunner
reached up and grabbed my hand.

“Hey sweetheart what are y’all doing here?” I sat down on his lap and I could instantly feel his erection
growing.
Hmmmm
….this is why I’
m here. I wiggled a little and smiled.
I reached down and gave my second favorite guy a scratch behind the ears. Gus just wagged his tail and went back to sleep.

“She was horny
you
ass wipe
and kept trying to escape the wonderful spa party we had going on for her! So instead of trying to keep her away we hand delivered her ass to you!” Ari said as she was rubbing her ass into my brother’s crotch…
…
BLAH
…
…I was going to throw up!
Jeff
erson
spun her around and whispered something into her ear. I saw her nod her head yes. Jeff
erson
leaned down and asked Brad
something to which he replied “T
hird one on the left”. Jeff
erson
took Ari’s hand and led her back into the house.

Holy shit
…
…they were going to go have sex! Amanda asked Brad something and he laughed. They both stood up and started to go into the house. He leaned down and whispered to Gunner. “Take the master dude.”

Gunner jus
t nodded and then looked at me.

“Jesus…
..
.
are
they all really leaving to go have sex?” I asked as I watched Brad and Amanda walk in and say
something to Heather and Josh who
were stand
ing at the kitchen bar talking.
