“He’s Trent’s cousin. Of course he was there.” She wouldn’t disagree that Curt was handsome, but she’d always believed Gray and his brothers were the best looking of the group.
“Was he a groomsman?” Stephanie asked.
“Who was the best man?” Joanna asked.
“No, Curt wasn’t in the wedding party. And Jake was Trent’s best man.”
Next to her, Joanna smiled and got a faraway look in her eyes. Kiera guessed her friend was thinking of Jake Sherbrooke. When they’d first met in college, Joanna had been obsessed with him. She’d bought every magazine he showed up on and read every article printed about him. While her obsession had lessened over the years, she still considered him her favorite eye candy.
“He didn’t ask one of his brothers to be his best man?” Stephanie asked.
When she saw Jake n
ext to Trent, she hadn’t blinked an eye. “Jake and Trent are like brothers, and all of Trent’s brothers and one of Addison’s were in the wedding party, too.”
“That must have been the hottest wedding party ever! I wish I could’ve seen it.”
Kiera couldn’t disagree with Joanna’s comment. “You’re right; it was.”
Up on the screen, the previews for upcoming movies started as the lights dimmed.
“It’s crazy that the two biggest playboys in that family are married now. Who do you think will be next?” Joanna whispered so that only Kiera and Stephanie heard her.
“I read that Trent’s cousin, Sara, is getting married in the spring.” Kiera ripped open her bag of gummy bears.
“I meant, which Sherbrooke male will be next? Who cares about the women?”
“Maybe Curt. I read somewhere he and his girlfriend moved in together,” Stephanie said.
“Doubt it. I read in The Star Report that they broke up.” Joanna grabbed a handful of popcorn.
“You can’t believe everything that’s printed in magazines.”
“They’re not always wrong, Kiera.”
She wasn’t going to argue with Joanna today.
“Well, Alec is too young. Maybe Gray will be next,” Stephanie said.
Heat swept through Kiera.
“No way. He’s too busy partying to get married. Maybe it will be Brett.”
Joanna had a point. It did appear as if Gray went from one party to another with no intentions of slowing down. Which meant there was a good chance he wouldn’t be knocking on her door again anytime soon.
Kiera held back a sigh, or at least, she thought she did.
“What’s wrong?” Stephanie asked as the lights went out.
“Just thinking how pathetic our lives are that we have to speculate about what other people will do.” Kiera mentally patted herself on the back for the invented excuse.
Joanna elbowed her in the arm. “Speak for yourself. My life is not pathetic.”
The movie started, preventing any further conversation. While the opening scene played, Kiera let her mind wander. She loved spending time with her former college roommates. Today, though, instead of sitting in a dark movie theater, she’d rather be outside skating with Gray.
Kiera closed her eyes and enjoyed the memories of sitting on Gray’s lap as he kissed her. Oh, man what a kisser. If she ever got the opportunity to repeat the experience, she’d take advantage of it because every woman deserved to be kissed like that more than once in her life.
