Harper B55 vouchers If I hadn't pulled away from Maddox's lips , he would've had my underwear down to my knees . The thought of it turned my gaze ice - cold . I smacked my slightly swollen lips and said , " I just wanted to see if kissing you would change anything ." " And ? " He smirked confidently . Leaning closer to his ear , I said , " What makes you think I have any interest in dating Tiffany's brother ? " He poked his cheek , looking at me in disbelief . I turned around to leave and he stood in place , not even saying a word . I was actually disappointed that kissing him felt that way . For someone who was a playboy and always charming with the ladies , I expected to feel something , anything . It was then that I began to wonder . Had that been Grayson touching and kissing me like that , would I have let myself go ? I firmly shook my head , telling myself not even to entertain such thoughts . He was going to marry Tiffany . My only interactions with him that night had been in the presence of others . It was clear he had no time for me and I didn't want to be there anymore , so without anyone noticing , I made my way back to the car . It was best to leave before I found myself kissing Maddox again out of anger . I tightened my grip on the steering wheel , checking my eyes in the mirror . Did I look as much of an idiot as I felt ? Yes . I went from just wanting Grayson to notice me to kissing Maddox so willingly and boldly . I didn't even regret it . Just as I began to drive away , I held on to the stupid hope that I would see Grayson from the rear view mirror , running outside so he could stop me from leaving , but that wasn't my fairy tale . I made it home forty five minutes later . It was quite the distance from his place , but I had wanted to go that far just to see him . I changed my clothes , removed my makeup , freshened up and got into bed , hoping that I would forget it all the following day . The morning sun filtered through my curtains and I groaned , pulling the covers over my head while trying to convince myself that everything that happened last night was a dream , from the engagement announcement , to the steamy kiss with Maddox . But the moment my phone buzzed on my nightstand and I reached for it to check the notifications , my eyes widened and I sat up . Chapter 3 The notifications were a mix of tags , group chats and lots of messages . My name was trending . 55 vouchers I had never posted pictures online about how different I now looked , but someone had posted a picture of me that was taken at the party and so many comments flooded the post . " Who knew nerdy Harper had those damn gorgeous legs ? " " I was there and this picture doesn't even do her justice . She needs to drop her skin care routine because WOW ! " " Wait , is this the girl who used to wear oversized hoodies ? She looks like a movie star ! " I wanted to read every comment on that post , but when the ones below began to involve Grayson , I frowned and tossed the phone onto the edge of the bed . I wanted nothing to do with him that day . Just then , my phone rang and I felt a knot in my stomach as soon as I saw his name on the screen . I quickly reached for the phone again , my thumb hovering over the green button before finally pressing it . " Hello ? " " Hey , Harp . " His voice was soft and warm . I cleared my throat . " Hey , what's up ? " " I looked for you last night but I couldn't find you . I don't even blame you for leaving . I actually wanted to call you last night , but I was so busy with Tiffany after the party " I scrunched my pillow at the thought of them alone . " I just wanted to apologise for what happened . She shouldn't have done that to you . She crossed the line with the truth - or - dare thing . " I bit the inside of my cheek . " Yeah , well , she's always been that way towards me . It's nothing new . " " I really had a long talk with her and told her it wasn't funny . You didn't deserve that at all . She's my fiancée but you're ... " he trailed off for a few seconds . " I know we haven't been close for a while now but you've always been important to me ." I hated how those words made my heart race . I hated how I still wanted to hear him say things like that even when they meant nothing , " Anyway , " he continued quickly . " I just wanted to make sure you're still coming to the wedding despite what happened with Tiffany ." My eyes widened as I pointed at myself . " You expect me to come ? " " Of course . You and I go way back . Don't you remember that we used to say we would be best friends for life ? " Chapter 3 That description hit me so hard that I didn't want to go . " I don't know , Grayson . I have a lot going on right now ." " Come on . " His voice was gentle . " Please ? I want you to be there ." 55 vouchers So much time had passed but I was still the girl who waited for scraps of affection from the boy who never truly chose her . " Okay . " I sighed . " Great ! " He sounded genuinely relieved . " I'll send you the final details later . " " Cool . " Even after we hung up , I could still hear him calling me his best friend and it hurt , but I couldn't change it . Grayson Ever since we were kids , I knew that Harper was in love with me . She never said it , but she didn't have to . I figured it out from the way she always looked at me , like I was the center of her universe and was already everything to her . I liked it because it always fed something in me . It was that part of me that liked knowing someone would always be there no matter what . She was reliable , adoring , constant and never asked for anything in return and I never gave her anything . I didn't want to . I told myself she wasn't for me and I needed someone who was pretty , hot and more noticeable . Harper was just someone who was always in the background . She was quiet and safe . Then , Tiffany showed up around the time I began to get popular and I made my choice . It fed my ego even more , having Tiffany as my girl and Harper still by my side , ready to do anything for me . We began to grow apart before she left for college , but I never forgot about her and still kept in touch . It was for this reason that I invited her to the party when I learned that she was back in town and she now looked like every guy's desire . The one thing that hadn't changed was how she couldn't say no to me when I asked her to come to the wedding . The big day arrived and Tiffany was finally going to be mine forever . It felt like the best decision I had ever made in my life . Despite my regret of missing out on Harper's beauty , she still was nowhere close to the wealthy circle I was in and I wouldn't have wanted things any other way . It was all going to plan . Just a few more minutes and we were going to become husband and wife . Then , Tiffany barged into my dressing room , holding onto the sides of her wedding dress while yelling at everyone 7:20 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 3 to get out . 78 E 55 vouchers " What's gotten into you ? " I said to her with concern . " Don't you know it's bad luck for me to see you like this ? " She rolled her eyes . " Oh , please ! Why is Harper attending our wedding ? " " Because I invited her . " " And you didn't bother to tell me ? Everyone's looking at her like she's a goddess or something . She needs to leave . " " No. She's my guest and best friend . " She scoffed . " Best friend ? You two have barely spoken in years . " " I know , but she was always there ." " So fucking what ? I don't want her here and don't you dare come to her defense because if she doesn't leave , this wedding is cancelled !
