Kylie forced a smile as she shook Danielle’s hand.
“Nice to meet you,” she said.
“Same here,” Danielle said before she turned her attention back to Sean.
“So, call me sometime, okay?” she said before she walked away leaving Kylie feeling awkward and for the slightest minute, she wanted to cry. It all felt like déjà vu. The stud takes an interest in her and the skinny girl…bitch…swoops right in and takes him from her.
“Sorry about that,” Sean said turning back to look at Kylie. “This is the last place I would have expected my past to catch up with me.”
“I’m sorry…did you just say your past?” she asked and he nodded.
“Danielle and I dated for a while when I was still in New York,” he said.
Chapter 5
“Wait, what?” Kristie sounded more surprised than Kylie had expected.
“My words exactly,” Kenzie said. “I could have sworn that you said that you had a date with our gynecologist.”
“It was not a date. We just had breakfast together,” Kylie pointed out. “That’s all.”
“Sweetie, when two girls have breakfast together it’s called catching up but when a guy calls a girl and suggest they have breakfast together, it’s a freaking date,” Kristie said and Kylie rolled her eyes.
“I think you are both jumping the gun,” she said.
She noticed Kristie and Kenzie exchanging a knowing look.
“Who are you trying to fool, Kylie?” Kenzie asked and Kylie shook her head.
“Guys I seriously don’t…” she started before Kenzie pressed her finger into her lips. “Did you just shush me?” she asked, her voice muffled and Kenzie nodded.
“Yeah, someone needs to shut you up,” Kristie said.
Kylie pulled her sister’s finger away from her lips and exhaled loudly.
“Guys I really don’t want to talk about this,” she said. “I don’t think you understand what is going on here,” she added as her phone buzzed on the counter. She picked it up and sighed before she typed something on the screen.
Kristie and Kenzie looked at each other and then at their sister.
“Okay, help me understand what’s going on here,” Kenzie said.
“Yeah, because if you want us to get another OBGYN, we will,” Kristie said and Kenzie shot her a dirty look.
“Whoa there, not so fast now,” she said. “I’m not about to go open myself up to some other stranger.”
“If it gets our sister laid, then you most definitely will,” Kristie said dismissively as Kylie’s phone vibrated against the counter again. She picked it up and again typed something before she set it back down. She looked up at her sisters and sighed.
“Guys, it was just breakfast and that was that.” She took a long deep breath. “There was nothing more, nothing less.”
“Why do I feel like there is more to this than meets the eye?” Kristie asked and Kylie sighed as she took a seat at her sister’s kitchen counter.
“Yeah,” Kenzie said as she rinsed her hands in the sink before she leaned on the other side of the counter looking right into Kylie’s brown eyes. “You are holding out on us, little sister.”
“I’m not!”
“Yes, you are!” This was Kristie’s all too bossy voice.
“Yeah, you are getting defensive. You always do that when you are lying,” Kenzie said and Kylie shrugged for the umpteenth time.
“Kenzie! Kristie! Please!” Kylie’s phone vibrated again and before she could take it Kenzie snatched it from under her hand.
“Who the hell keeps texting you?” she asked.
“I’m organizing…the company is in charge of Mila Villefort’s new line,” Kylie said.
“Wait….Mila Villefort….as in House of Villefort?” Kristie asked. “That Mila Villefort?”
Kylie nodded.
“Yes, Kris. That Mila Villefort.” She turned to Kenzie. “Now can I please have my phone back? I need to see how far the situation is with the branding, if you please. I only have three months for an international campaign,” she added, stressing the last part of her sentence.
“We are going to talk about why you didn’t mention this before a little later,” Kenzie said as she handed Kylie her phone back.
“Yeah, I’m on that band wagon. I mean have you seen her summer collection?” Kristie asked. “I would kill for that black and print sweetheart neckline combination dress. That bitch Angelina is getting married in a few weeks and seeing me in a Villefort couture will just make her die!”
Kylie frowned as she looked at her sister.
