I mean really, what the fuck just happened? I burn rubber as I pull my truck out of the parking lot, trying to get away before Mr. Mysterious follows me. I turn the radio up in my truck and roll the windows down. The warm sunshine and breeze instantly relaxing me. I drive up the back roads to Brittanys house, pulling my truck into her driveway and parking. I hop out, noticing Calebs' truck in the driveway. I walk up the stairs and straight inside without knocking, I basically live here too. Once you've been best friends for 15 years, knocking isn't required anymore.

"What's wrong with your face?" Brittany asks giving me a weird look as I come through the door.

"What do you mean?"

"Are you blushing? Like your face is red." She questions looking me up and down.

"Uhhh, no? I don't think that's it. I've just had the strangest day." I shake my head.

"What happened baby sis?" Caleb asks rounding the corner and coming to sit on the couch I was standing by. Another best friend of 15 years, he's like the annoying brother I never wanted.

"Awe Cal I've missed you." I start as I hug him before sitting down, "My story can wait. How was Iceland?" I ask, needing to know every detail of his latest adventure.

"Oh it was beautiful. Full of beautiful women too." He laughs.

I roll my eyes, "what a player."

"No it's not like that this time Danny. I've actually settled down with a girl." He tells us.

"No way!" Brittany and I both say at the same time.

"Yep! She's coming to visit in 2 weeks." He smiles.

"I can't wait to meet her!" I smile at him.

"So what happened to you Danny?" Brittany asks.

"So have you all heard about the new family in town? Supposedly filthy rich and owns a big cooperation or something?" I ask.

"Yep. I heard the sons were hot." Brittany asks making dreamy eyes.

"Well the oldest one bumped into me today and made me spill tea on my dress. So I changed and he told me I could pull off either look and then after he church he caught me out back and like pushed me against the wall and called me 'mine' like he owned me!?" I rant.

"Wow sounds like he's into some kinky shit." She laughs.

I face palm, my face turning red, "seriously Britt! I mean what does that even mean?"

"Sounds like you've got a boyfriend." Caleb laughs.

I roll my eyes, "I think not. I mean I don't even know the guy! Not to mention I left out the detail of me kneeing him in the crotch to get away from him."

My phone started vibrating, I picked it up to see a number I didn't recognize. I swipe to ignore it, I mean it's probably the cars extended warranty people anyway.

"But I mean if he's hot and he's rich, why not give it a chance?" Brittany asks.

"She won't have a choice." Caleb says.
